QisanWireless/Wired Mechanical Keyboard, Triple Mode 2.4G/USB-C/BT Wireless Gaming Keyboard, 100 Keys (98%) US Layout Brown Switch Rechargeable RGB Backlit Keyboard | Brown Combo

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a small form factor mechanical keyboard and after much searching found this 68-key model. I preferred a black keyboard, and this was one of the few mechanical keyboards in this price range.First, I will also confirm that this model with the black keys has white backlighting, and is not blue and red as shown in the pictures. I actually prefer the white backlighting, so that helped influence my purchase. Now for some quick details:- Small form factor. It's a small compact layout, but still has arrow keys and del, ins, PU, PD. I had a 61-key keyboard for a while, and realized after I didn't have one, that I use the delete key a lot more than I thought. Having to use the function key to initiate a delete command really slowed down my typing. With a separate delete key, this keyboard makes logging into my workstation (ctrl+alt+del) easier, and also doesn't slow me down when typing or working with PDF document mark-ups. Also, it's the perfect size for setting on top of, and replacing the keyboard on my 14" notebook!- Good Construction. The lower part of the case is plastic, but the upper plate is metal (aluminum?) which gives it rigidity and weight. It's not super heavy, but the rubber pads are large enough that the keyboard won't slide around on the desk. The back of the keyboard has 3 dipswitches that change up a few keys, and lock the windows key. I flipped the middle switch, which swaps the location of the Windows key and Fn key, so I can easily hit F1 through F4 with one hand.- GATERON Brown switches. I think this was the only keyboard I found in this price range with Gateron switches. I've had a few mechanical keyboards with various blue and brown switches from 3 different brands. Gateron browns are my favorite out of all I've tried so far. They feel a bit lighter than the "C"-brand browns, but have a bit more of a tactile bump at the start of the keystroke. They feel very smooth and are fast (like red switches), but have that nice little positive bump that you don't get in linear switches like reds & blacks. They don't make a click sound during the keystroke like blue switches, but they do make a lower pitched clacky noise when the key bottoms out the switch. So expect some noise when using this keyboard, but Not as much as with blue switches. Personally, I love it :)- Keycaps. The keycaps are double-injection molded (probably ABS material). They have a light sandblast texture and feel pretty nice actually. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the font used for the letters and numbers. It's a modern typeface That makes some characters look kinda weird (especially the 8 and B). that's really the only thing I'm not crazy about on this keyboard, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.Overall, considering the price, this is a fantastic keyboard!

I have used this keyboard to write several Amazon reviews including this one! I can say it's worth the money with both pros and cons. Whether they matter to you, is up to you.Pros: -High quality feeling key caps have a smooth touch, yet slightly textured which makes them nice to type on -The metal back plate and the sturdy plastic bottom prevents flexing, plus it makes the keyboard look great! -The font is very appealing, especially for gamers -A decent set of media keys including launching the calculator and even your default media player (such as Windows Media Player or VLC) -Feels really light, considering the materials used -You can manually set how many counts per second the keyboard will register (20, 40, and 60) which is useful for people who are touch typers or beginners -The backlight makes this keyboard extremely appealing and gets very, very bright! -The backlight brightness is adjustable with function and arrow up/down keys -Keys for turning on breathing mode as well as adjusting its speed -Detachable USB cable makes it easy to put this keyboard back into its box for easier travel -Legs and the bottom of the keyboard has rubber on to prevent sliding -Comes with a key cap removerCons: -Longer keys such as the space bar make a loud metal clink noise when pressed down which gets very annoying, especially when typing fast -Took me forever to figure out how to correctly press the ~ or ` characters separately, or even control and a function key -Would be nice to have more modes for the backlight besides normal and breathing, feels limited -The use of Dip Switches seems counter intuitive, especially because you have to unplug the keyboard compared to extra function keys for disabling the Windows Key, swapping the caps lock and control key, or swapping the Windows key and function key -Detachable USB cable is not micro USB, but is mini USB

For 8 years I have been using macbook and mini apple bluetooth keyboards and to be honest I'm not unhappy with them. I type a lot as an ex programmer now manager. I decided I wanted to return to mechanical but not pay $200 and discover I hated them.This was a great experience. The small size plays well with my laptop keyboard muscle memory. I realized with laptop keyboards I've gotten a bit sloppy with my key presses and the mechanicals you need to aim for a smaller top on the keycap.Even on the brown switches the sound is much louder than the silent apple key presses. It's not like the click of the blue switches. It's the drumming sound on the hollow key caps. I've ordered the dampeners to stop the bottoming out clack that also contributes.Keyboard feels solid and doesn't slip around. The audio volume controls via the fn key worked great with my mac. You have to be prepared for the presence of the windows key and reversed position to the command / option layout of mac keys. Alt+tab feels a bit odd at first.I had read that the brightness resets on disconnect. I haven't seen that happen. With short periods of disconnection the light level went back to what I had set. It's a white backlight and I find that the keys are a translucent grey on black with the backlight off so having it on the lowest level gives a good contrast for typing. Without backlight the letter font is a little hard to see. It's also as commented a bit of an odd font type.For current mac bluetooth keyboard users be prepared for the height. This doesn't blend seamlessly from your desk and you might need an arm rest.Overall I'm enjoying this as my entry into mechanicals. It's a great price and feature set. The Gaterons are smooth so far and out of the box seemed fine.

I originally bought the one with blue switches, but that proved to be to noisy for my office mate (wife). This one with the brown switch is quieter and doesn't bother my office mate as much. The keys have a satisfying click and a very comfortable tactile response. You know when the switches have been actuated. My typing speed and accuracy has improved a lot with this keyboard.It takes a bit to get used to having to press the Fn key and the ESC key in order to get the back tick symbol since that symbol shares the ESC and the tilde key. Fortunately I rarely use the back tick character.The build is very sturdy. No wobbling. I can punish this keyboard with heavy key presses and it takes the punishment.The only negative thing I can think of is that the keyboard is pretty tall. The base of the keyboard is about half an inch high, then the keys sit on top of that so that the top of the keys is about an inch or more above the desk. Puts a little bit of strain on my wrist. But using a 3/4 inch thick foam strip as a wrist rest in front of the keyboard raises my wrist high enough so I can type comfortably on this keyboard.I haven't really needed the backlighting, but I occasionally turn it on at night to see the effect. Beautiful.

Great keyboard. Good key switches (however, I did need to put O rings on the key caps to dampen them). Good range of light shows and good range of brightness levels.

Got it for my brother who wanted to try a mechanical keyboard for his home desktop setup. So far so good.
