Spent so much time and money buying stuff and modding boards just to end up only using the Rainy 75. I went with the lite version as the pp plate with violet switches gave off the sound I thought was the most satisfying.
Sounds absolutely amazing and is satisfying to type on. Can't speak to the Bluetooth as I only use it in wired mode. Found no need to mod it further, so would definitely recommend.
Friend loves it, will get my own. He loves the way it sounds, and I'm honestly impressed with how it sounds for the price alone. Kinda loud though, he's replacing the switches with silent ones.
This keyboard has probably my favorite sound profile out of any board I've ever used, I replace the switches with gateron smoothies and it cleaned up the scratchiness and lowered the pitch just a bit without changing the marble characteristics of it. I like it so much I've modeled a wooting 60 build after it.
I am reviewing the rainy75 in Silver Chassis with White keycaps and Cocoa Switchs. The board sounds very satisfying right out of the box, but be warned, this is not a keyboard for working around other people. This is the loudest "non blue and/or clicky" keyboard I have ever used. If you type lightly, you can minimize the sound, but it is still very loud. If you were typing in a room with multiple people, it would probably immediately drive them nuts. That being said, if youre a keybouard nerd like me, THIS SOUNDS AMAZINGLY UNIQUE.
While it doesnt have the low "thock" so many enthusiasts chase, it truly has its own unique sound quality and nothing else i have can even come close to replicating the sound. It has something to do with the switch and cap combo because without the caps, this board sounds as quiet as any other but as soon as you put the caps on these switches, you are clacking away.
This keyboard sounds nothing like any rain I have ever heard, unless it were raining and I happened to be under a room that was full of broken ceramic tiles.
Fantastic keyboard, great feel, incredible build quality, everything works flawlessly right out of the box, great price, and all the goodies.
My new favorite board for at home use even though I bought it for the office I could never ever use this even though my office is 20 to 30 ft away from anyone else, this would still drive them nuts to have to hear me clacking away all day every day but I love coming home and typing with this thing. So sweet.
It’s already great in stock.
I initially bought it as a budget keyboard for office use - something that won’t take an arm or leg. Before I even modded it, my spouse took it because how good it sounded out of the box . So, here I’m buying a second one.
This keyboard has the best build quality I’ve ever experienced. It feels incredibly solid and well-crafted, built to last. The sound is, without a doubt, the best I’ve heard on any keyboard—each keystroke is satisfying and smooth. If you’re looking for a keyboard that delivers both premium durability and exceptional sound, this one’s a winner.
The quality is amazing. the keyboard does not move around, she is heavy and that was really surprising for me. The keys sound like heaven and the colour I chose (blue and purple) is very cute as well. I haven’t figured out how to use the wireless setting yet but that is a me problem. Great keyboard I am very happy with it after having used the keyboards that come with my pc for yearsssss this one does not randomly disconnect. Also, it lights up! No issues with the keyboard i’m very pleased. I’m excited to buy and try some cute key caps and switches! They keyboard isnt too loud but can be heard from discord when im on call, not a bother to me though i love the sound jaja. For reference i use a wrist rest, as i usually do, but the board is a bit taller so keep that in mind. I’m happy with it.
UPDATE: I loved the sound profile out of the box, but it was just too damn loud to use all the time. I ended up swapping in some ordinary Gateron Browns and found them to be perfect for this board! It still feels ultra smooth and sounds good, but just at a lower volume.

This is my endgame keeb, but not for the reasons you'd expect-*.
Sometimes you want freaky, but then you realize "ok but not THAT freaky."
I feel that way about the Rainy 75. Stunning keyboard for the price. It feels and sounds like a million bucks. It also weighs about as much as a million bucks in coins.
Due to its density, it actually feels heavier than the heaviest vintage IBM Model M keyboard. If you drop this thing on your foot, you're going to the hospital. Upgrading my home gym was something I was planning on doing later this year, but thanks to my Rainy75, I got an early start.
I really like this keyboard, but the weight has me so stunned that I honestly don't know what to say about it. I seem to go on a keyboard buying binge every 4 or 5 years that ends when I finally find one I love so much I stop using everything else. This is going to be the first time my binge ends because I find one that has me so weirded out that I think I'll be good with my current stash for the forseeable future.
*-OK, not really my endgame, but I really am weirded out by receiving a keyboard this heavy.
I was suprised how good this keyboard is.
For such a low price You get solid keyboard that do not need any modding!
Fully build keyboard with top notch switches from HMX and nice PBT keycaps.
It's a steal!
Honestly, I have had a number of mechanical keyboards, and for a prebuilt under $200 I think this is one of the best bang for your buck keyboards out there, its very comfortable to type with, and its very satisfying in sound. It has a great weight, and the PBT keycaps are really nice.
