    • Dope 65%
Style: Cherry MX Brown RGB Color: Space Gray
This keyboard may be the last one you ever need... if you know exactly what you want: aka a dope AF 65% keyboard. If you are looking for dedicated function keys, consider the CTRL keyboard. PROS: -This keyboard is literally and figuratively very solid. The construction and build quality is superb and has significant weight to it. -Hotswappable plate switches. Nice feature to have, but at $200+ it better be hotswappable. I bought the Cherry-MX Browns but plan on switching to Aqua Zilents in the near future. The switches themselves are good. Not gonna really comment on them cause we all know switch feel is subjective and you either you know what you want or you don't. -RGB is vibrant and downright beautiful to look at, especially the LED ring around the board. -Connects via USB-C (USB-A to USB-C) and has 2 ports so you can connect to either side of the board OR connect another device at the same time but at USB-2 speeds. -Includes keycap puller, switch remover, and adjustable feet that are magnetic. -65% keyboard so dedicated arrow keys. -Can fully program this board via QMK software. -Comes with a piece of paper that explains basic functions INBETWEENS: -Stabilizers are meh -Keycaps have a grainy/rough texture to them. While I love the feel of them, it may be off putting to some. -Magnetic adjustable feet positions may not be steep enough for some. -You can clearly make out distinct LED diodes around the board, so if you care about extreme uniformity in your RGB this won't be the board for you. CONS: -Lackluster amount of RGB profiles/effects straight out of the box. -Using and flashing QMK software to change minor things (like say the color of just one key) can become annoying very quickly. -Expensive (high in price for what it is, even if it is one of the higher-end quality boards). ****Please note if you want to get it as cheap as possible you can buy it on Drop at for ($180 + price of specific switches + price of shipping). Buying it here on amazon is essentially just paying for quick shipping on Drop.**** ... show more

    • A thoughtfull, well-designed, great looking keyboard
Style: Halo Clear Color: Space Gray

I’ve been on an endless quest for that perfect keyboard, and I’d been eyeing these for a while, but It’s not everyday you want to spend $200+ on a keyboard. That said, when they popped up on Amazon for quick delivery I really couldn’t resist. First off, I love the way this keyboard looks and feels. It’s a really nice design, super clean, and it feels so well built. On top of that, there is zero visible branding when it’s on your desk -- it’s all on the back. No giant logo, just a clean simple slab of metal. I absolutely love the aesthetic. There are a few little details I appreciate too. The cable can be used on either side of the keyboard, and you can plug other things in the unused port, which is pretty handy and unexpected. The little magnetic feet are kind of clever, you can swap them around to change the angle of the keyboard. I was sort of worried they’d come out or wobble, but they are surprisingly rock solid. You will want a wrist wrest though! All that said, the rim lighting is a bit much for me, especially at the office, but luckily you can easily turn it off and on with a simple fn+z or fn+x press. I tend to leave it just with the key lighting on. As for the switches, I use this exclusively for typing, so I ended up getting the Halo Clears and I have no regrets. I think if I were using this for gaming I’d probably want the MX Browns. The switches feel great, and while I’ve already swapped out some keycaps for a few fun things, I haven’t tried hot swapping switches yet, but I’m glad it's an option in case I ever change my mind in the future. Anyway, this thing definitely feels like a $200 keyboard and I have zero regrets. If you’re like me and want a buy-it-for-life (or at least until I get the itch again) keyboard, this is definitely an easy recommendation. UPDATE: After using this keyboard for about 3 months, there are a few things I feel I should add. First, I noticed I was getting a lot of double characters while typing. Letters would be registered twice, and it was really irritating. I thought this was just me adjusting to the switches, but it turns out it was an actual issue and was luckily mostly resolved by updating the firmware. Second, you can change the brightness of the LEDs by using FN+S and F+W. Turns out this was in the manual, but was really helpful for keeping the lighting on but at a more reasonable level. Over-all, I'm still happy with the keyboard, but if I were to buy now, I'd probably get it direct from drop. ... show more

    • Best keyboard I have ever used!!!
Style: Cherry MX Blue RGB Color: Space Gray
Well, it's an expensive keyboard, but totally worth it! Compare to my previous keyboard Corsair K95, K70, K65 and IKBC, it feels much better. Meanwhile, I have tried Massdrop Ctrl, I believe ALT is much better than Massdrop CTRL. CTRL one is too heavy, since this keyboard allows you to programing every key, you do not need F1-F12. I'm a programmer and a game player, believe me, this is the best keyboard. Just buy it without any doubts. ... show more
