Affordable Keyboard on the class

I got specially great keyboard for productivity!

The best keyboard for the price and the quality

This is my first mechanical keyboard and its the best ever its quiet and although the spacebar sounds weird i am fun of it its really good and its the best keyboard you can get for this price dont look at gaming brands like logitech and razer this is better than all of them combined with a lower price all in all if i could recommend it for everyone in the planet i would best money i ever spent.

Amazing

Sounds amazing. Feels amazing. Is amazing. I got the RGB version and went for an all white look and the white does look a little pink but i can't even complain because the keyboard just feels and sounds so nice.

Great Budget keyboard

First off, amazing shipping. Well packed and showed up in 4 days after I ordered it. That's from China to the middle of the US. I'm not a keyboard aficionado, but seems like very good quality for a $80 keyboard. Switches are the best I've ever felt. The blues clack so nice. I don't like huge keyboards and this profile is perfect. Would recommend the razer wrist wrest to suit.
