Got this for my 10 year old brother for Christmas. Had to introduce him to the mechanical keyboard world young!! All of his friends see his keyboard and have begged their parents for something similar lol. Good quality and value for the price.
For the price, it's a great little 65%-ish keyboard with fun effects and the sound of stacked acrylic vs. an aluminum case with space inside. I personally have discovered that I prefer a higher profile and having a plate with the cutouts for switches to be more secure, but for people who like lighting effects and are still figuring out what kind of switches and keycaps they like, with the exception of the odd-sized right shift which is an eternal problem with these smaller boards with the arrow cluster, this is a really great neutral setup for testing things out and types decently well with a little work as well.
Edited to specify that the right shift is 2U, which is particularly uncommon. A lot more sets include a 1.75U option. You can use other 2U keys, like the 0 from a numpad, but depending on the profile it might not be quite right. Would recommend sticking to a uniform profile like DSA if you change out the keycaps.
Yeah, the Astrolokeys will fit. One thing to note, though, is that the Astrolokeys Windows/System key is 1.25u and it looks like this keyboard has a 1u Windows/System key and 1u function key. In theory, this should not a problem (however personal preference may dictate otherwise) because the base kit of Astrolokeys has enough 1u keycaps left over to cover this 66 board (eg. insert, pgup, pgdn) with keycaps to spare for use on the system and function switches. Since the DSA profile is flat sculpt you can move the keys freely without worrying about the sculpt profile of the board.
I purchased this keyboard (Womier K66) and received the Womier K61 as a present. I would NOT recommend either of these Womier keyboards to anyone wanting to actually replace the switches or modify either board. Both of these Womier boards have a switch hole so tight there is no way you are able to remove the switches without breaking them, or if you are able to get them out at all (I attached an image).
I did receive a replacement for the K66 version of the board and the replacement was different enough that the switches did not break apart when taking them out. However, both Womier keyboards do not allow ease of hot swapping.
If you are looking for a board that you are sure you will never want to replace the switches on and are looking for a cool RGB style, then this would be okay, but there might be serious issues if you ever want to make any modifications to this board.
This is my first keyboard that's not 100% and I was hesitant to buy it because it didn't have the number pad. I will say this is the best keyboard I've ever used! The switches just complete it for me so this is the best mechanical keyboard I've ever had!
I love this keyboard mostly because its quite. I had other keyboards that was loud for no reason and people could hear it through the discord call. Now, they don't have to hear me fast type to a rhythm game anymore. thank you.
A stacked acrylic keyboard just like any other, theres not much to say about it. My only thing was that the keycaps that came with it felt horrible. The texture of the acrylic wasn’t the best either. But other than that it ended up sounding pretty good with some mods.
Bought this to take out the switches and stabilizers and put in my own as my first custom mechanical keyboard, and I am quite happy with the result.
There is software that exists for lighting control, and some macro functions, but I can’t say it’s that great ; however, it does the job.
