This is a great starting point for someone looking to get into keyboard modding.
This keyboard, stock as it comes, has all the bones of a great budget custom. I currently use it as my office travel keyboard.The positives:- Reliable Bluetooth connectivity (more on this in the negatives)- USB-C wired connectivity/charging (more on this in the negatives)- Acceptable battery capacity- Outemu Red switches (more on this in the negatives)- Acceptable stabilizer performance (more in the negatives)- White backlight suited for professional environments- Muted design aesthetics of the keyboard body (a positive in my opinion)You get a whole lot of keyboard fundamentals for your money. However, it is indeed a "cheap" keyboard. There are obvious corners cut here and there to meet the aggressive pricepoint-to-feature ratio.The negatives:- Incredibly hollow body (results in very loud typing experience, even without tactile clicky switches)- Convoluted, half-assed, borderline nonsensical Bluetooth pairing method- Outemu Red switches are audibly scratchy- Outemu Red switch springs are hideously PING-Y (loud PING! with every keystroke)- Stabilizers are loud and rattle-y- Keyboard was not designed to be opened up (requires multiple spudger "picks" to be able to undo the keyboard casing's clipped closing method)- No hotswap sockets (understandable to cut costs, not impossible to overcome)- Poor quality/design keycaps (matter of opinion)The good news about this keyboard is that it is a wonderful project for those looking to get into keyboard modding. It is cheap and none of its issues are unable to be relatively easily addressed. I used an electronics repair kit to get the keyboard open and line/fill the case with neoprene foam sheets. I de-soldered all the Outemu red switches from the PCB and lubed all of them with 205g0, as well as lubing and leveling the stock stabilizers. I finished it off with a set of keycaps with a profile I find more comfortable.This addresses nearly every issue I have with the keyboard, and makes it a wonderful hobby timesink and keyboard in it's own right.THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS FOR THOSE WITH ISSUES/CONFUSION CONCERNING THE BLUETOOTH PAIRING:The manual is actually useless in telling you how to use Bluetooth. A random YouTube video ended up showing me how to do it, so I'll list the methodology here for anyone who may be running into a similar issue.Bluetooth Pairing:1.) Press the "Function" (Fn) key and "P" key. The two lights in the top right of the keyboard should blink twice. This lets you know the keyboard is ready for step 2.2.) Press the "Function" (Fn) key and either "Q", "W", or "E" to choose with Bluetooth keyboard profile you want to select. The keyboard can store up to three devices in its memory, so "Q" is device 1, "W" is device 2, and "E" is device 3. The two lights at the top right of the keyboard will blink twice again to let you know the keyboard accepted which memory-stored Bluetooth device slot you want to pair.3.) Hold "Function" (Fn) and "P" until the light under the "P" key begins to blink. The keyboard is now broadcasting its pairing request to other devices, making itself visible.To switch between your three Bluetooth devices once they are stored, simply hit "Function" (Fn) and "Q", "W", or "E". Why none of this is not detailed in the manual is probably due to difficulties of translating Chinese to English. I hope this is helpful.

No instructions.
I love the keyboard but it came with no instructions. It took me forever to figure out how to pair it. I still don’t know how to change the backlit keys so they don’t flash all the time.

Great keyboard
This keyboard is not only functional but also nice. You can either use it wired or wireless. The light features are nice and fun too. Recommended.

Works very well
This is my first Bluetooth mechanical keyboard and I must say that this was a great selection. The keys are great, and I can type fast, and the keyboard is heavy and solid that works perfect. I am really like it and would tell my friends.

Great Product. Love the lighting.
I’ve started this a week ago and it is one of the best mechanical keyboards I’ve ever used. The connectivity is great and so is the lighting. Definitely recommend it to other people.
