Seemed like a decent board, until random sockets stopped registering input. Others now give incorrect inputs. Judging from other reviews and forum posts, problems like these aren't uncommon with the NJ80, and there isn't an easy fix.
Loved this keyboard until it just stopped working properly
This keyboard sounds and looks absolutely fantastic and was an amazing keyboard for the first year and a bit, until it just stopped working in wired mode. Yes I tried a new cable different usb ports, different devices etc. its a problem with the board itself. See this wouldn't be *too* big of an issue if it weren't for the WIRELESS mode also missing inputs and sometimes not even working for a couple of seconds at a time, which happens quite frequently (happened just now while typing this). So all in all great board up until this point where it has completely failed me, 2 and a half months after the year warranty has expired.
Really solid and heavy base. Very satisfying to type on. I'm using Gateron blacks. Easy to install the switches and keys and everything works as expected.
this was my first 75% board that i chose specifically for the knob and the non offset arrow keys. i really enjoy it! lots of possibilities for modding as well to fine tune sound and feel. the case is difficult to open. i use karabiner-elements (for mac) to remap keys.
Has a good weight, works with almost ever switch, nice colors, no issues. Definitely a perfect starter board that you can progress into a mid-high tier board!
Would recommend for those just starting out or for an affordable 75% option. Pros: pretty good sounds, stabs are prelubed out of box. Cons: hard to open for mod, no QMK/have to download their own application to remap keys.
I've really enjoyed the keyboard and was using it as my main one for a month, but since several days it started glitching. Some key can stop working and won't come back to life until keyboard reset (CTRL + ESC + F12 + FN). Then when I use it to wake up my laptop, it starts flashing lights for several seconds with weird frequency.
It's not a problem of switches (I've tried several different ones).
I understand that it's not expected for it to work forever, but 1 month is too much.
This is my first ever custom keyboard, and since I’ve used it, it has been incredible! It is super beginner ready and having the PCB hot swappable and a volume wheel, is a HUGE bonus.
There are a few caveats to take into consideration when you do customize this keyboard.
1: Be aware of the keycap set that you use, as my left ctrl, alt, and func key were too big to fit, so I had to find a substitute for those 3 keys. (equivalent to the size of letter key caps)
2: minor one, but to screenshot is windows + func + P. (had a difficult time figuring this one out, this was not listed in the manual.)
Having this keyboard have a Bluetooth feature is also a benefit that may came handy in the future. The Bluetooth functions by having a battery within the keyboard, and the manufacturer’s strictly say to use their cable to charge it. Just a heads up, the keyboard is heavy, not too heavy but its noticeable.
Overall, I had an easy time handling this keyboard, and it's totally worth the price!
(just read the manual, as it contains important info.) Cheers!
