Pretty fun to use, both aesthetically and functionally
I bought this to replace the generic keyboard I was given at my work. First picture is with room lights on and second is with room lights off. I have my own small office room that's just me and my things so having this keyboard was no issue. I wanted something RGB mechanical but under $100 since it was for work, especially I like to turn the lights off in my office and only using monitor light and natural lights from windows which helps me focus on my work better.I've always wanted to try typewriter style of keys before. While this isn't 100% authentic typewriter like it would be in the old days, it still has pretty good similar feeling to it and it being mechanical, it makes my all day typing for work so fun! It took some time to get used to pressing these keys cuz they sit a bit higher than what I'm used to due to its design, but it didn't wake too long. It actually feels really good typing on it once you get used to it.The lighting presets it already comes with are all pretty good as well, I just shift through different ones once in awhile depending on what I feel like. You can customize it yourself also but I have not tried that. Someone else had uploaded the lighting instructions but I'll upload it again in case people miss it.I've been using it for about close to 3 months now and nothing has broken or not functioning, still going strong. For the first month of having this in my office, everyone who comes to see me at work always gave compliments for it. Almost 3 months in, people still tell me how much they like my keyboard lolAs long as you maintain it well (easy to dust off with air duster and wipes), I think it'll last long. The silver trims aren't actual metal, it's plastic with something in silver color that's wrapped neatly, it didn't bother me too much though. That's why I'm saying maintain and care it well in case you treat it roughly and they might start peeling off. Haven't happened to me so far. Also the wrist rest doesn't really bother me as much as some other people in the reviews, they actually work just fine for me.I think it was a good purchase and decent price for not the true top of the line gaming keyboard (I have Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 SE Mechanical RAPIDFIRE in white at home for gaming and it's been best gaming keyboard I've used so far) but for lots of typing and enjoying that clickity clack sound :)

Classy looks, very chintzy
I've had this keyboard for 10 months, now, and I wish I could say I love it 100%. Its looks are so unique, and with the RGB reflecting off the silver collars on the keys, it's just gorgeous. I've gotten numerous compliments on it, and while I was nervous about a white keyboard, it was definitely the way to go with this particular style.In general, I didn't have much trouble adapting to the round keycaps, however, my fingers are rather thin and long; if you have large hands or thick fingers, you may find you'll need a bit longer to adjust. The wrist rest actually folds under the keyboard rather than detaching, which I like for those times when my cat insists on lying on my desk in a way that pushes the keyboard off it, but I would have liked this feature a lot more if there was a built-in means of further tilting the back upward since, with the rest folded under and the back legs folded out, it's flat, but also about an inch higher than it would be if it was just flat on the desk, which is difficult, to say the least.The feel is very nice, it's a light touch and fairly clacky. Not what you're looking for if you're married to that sweet, sweet IBM firmness and sound, but still quite nice if you're like me and only enjoy the general feel of mechanical switches versus a membrane.Everything is done via the function key modifier - that is, lighting configuration, windows key lock, and media player controls. I don't mind this, but if you are the sort who does, this keyboard is not for you. You get volume buttons and, amusingly, a calculator key, but no play/pause, etc, and no RGB toggle or anything like that.The thing which brings me to give this keyboard 3 stars is that the keys are white plastic and the silver you see in the picture are actually plastic collars that have a reflective finish. That is fine, on paper, and the finish, that I've noticed, doesn't wear and they're still super shiny. But the problem is the plastic is either just very flimsy or very old and dry-rotted, because over the months, one by one, they're simply splitting and slipping off the keys. So far my left shift key, and my R, D, and E keys are, well, naked. lol It's not a great look, and while at the moment it's not super noticeable, if it keeps happening, it will be very noticeable and the whole shimmery effect will be ruined. And they keycaps really aren't that attractive without the cuffs.Overall, I like the board as a whole enough that, should the day come when its keycaps are just eyesores, it's otherwise a standard keyboard and I can just get new caps for it, but I'd rather not have to think about that. I got this for its specific looks, after all.

Love it!
I love this keyboard. I have both the white and the black. The white one I have set every key to be one of the 8 colors and aqua side light. It’s adorable. The black I have set to aqua with blue side light. The sounds of the keys is my favorite part.The keys are a bit too high for playing OSU but great for everything else I’ve tried.It took a couple days to adjust to the round keys (my old keyboard had larger square keys). I highly recommend either the white or black keyboard!

Love it
I love this keyboard. The price point was nice, it is beautiful to look at, and I’ve received compliments from everyone that has seen it in my office. I’m not a gamer, but my kids are, and they say it’s perfect for gaming. I wanted it for that typewriter feel, and the retro look of it. It was a little bit of an adjustment at first from my previous keyboard but I got used to it quickly, and am so glad I found this. I love it.

Modern Meets Antiquity
This keyboard is so aesthetically pleasing I can’t get over it. The functionality and responsiveness of the keyboard is on par with my HP Omen. The only thing negative I have to say about this keyboard is that it was a bit confusing to figure out how to change the RGB settings since it didn’t come with any instructions. I had to go on to the Amazon info page here and screenshot the instructions just in case the listing ever became unavailable. Aside from that, this keyboard is awesome! I’ve been using it for several weeks now with no issues. Highly recommend this fun, colorful keyboard.
