Its hotswap capability, compact layout, and premium build quality make it a standout option for keyboard enthusiasts looking to take their setup to the next level.
Great keyboard, but should come with extra stands.
This keyboard is great, good size, extra function key with the space at layout is great. Unfortunately, through daily use switching between typing and gaming, one of the four stands has cracked and has started falling off. Again, daily use, but shouldn’t happen after only 6ish months. The rest of the keyboard is solid, though.
at drop price, its best value to money.
+ 60% layout with one extra macro key (triple space bar)
+ hotswapable with brightest rgb, (more rbg more fps :P)
+ front back tilt and left right tenting (very ergo)
+ 9 profiles and on board memory
+ premium accessories, braided cable, carry bag, 2-in-1 keycap and switch puller
+ you dont need to install software to config it (software runs without installation)
- i wish i was able to assign smartkey to some other key (may be they update it any firmware update)
- i wish reprograming layers was as or the software was more user friendly, its not very difficult to do but still need to learn how to do it (unlike other software)
I use this keyboard for work as a scientific programmer. To work efficiently, I need to use the Fn key combinations all the time. I mapped the center button on the space bar trio to Fn which allows me to apply it with either thumb. This approach is working well. The key action with the brown switches is very smooth, and the keyboard is reasonably quiet for my working conditions. Also, I started using the TKO because I have some tendonitis due to repetitive stress. The compact keyboard seems to be an ergonomic improvement thus far.
Software works but execution sucks. Thankful that I only had to use it 3 times to set my RGBs and shortcuts. I like the idea but it is too complicated for most people, updating the firmware was hard (and required a password that you have to find)
50% of keycaps have quality control issues on the north bottom edges side. You wont see or feel them but it's there
That's it
Pros: Too good of a deal for $80. Everything you need to get started
Hard carrying case
The extra Kailh switches are 3 white, red and brown of each
Keycap and switch puller that is good
Metal
RGB on switches and 3 sides of the board (lights up the desk and customizable with software)
3-way split space bar OR single, your choice
5 pin
Honestly this would be perfect for a starter 60% board, if only it had better software.
First, keyboard feels solid right out of the box. No issues using the keyboard as is. Though, as an enthusiast, keyboard felt hollow and pingy. Keyboard case is really good quality as well.
unfortunately, i don't have the money or motivation to write to support, to get the keybaord in order and to remove the custom keycaps, as well as the other switches i have installed :/
