Two Years Later - Excellent Keyboard
I've had this keyboard for over two years now. I have the Gateron Blue Switches. I use it at my work desk/ productivity - I do not game on it. I figured this would be a good time to review.This keyboard has been excellent for quality and reliability. The blue switches are satisfyingly clicky and allow me to type fast and accurately. I can imagine for gaming this might not be the best board because there is some take-up on the keys when you first press them, it doesn't immediately trigger the switch. However, this is ideal for typing because it decreases typing errors versus a linear switch.I love the ambient RBG and enjoy the thin font style of the Keychron keycaps. Some folks complain about the quality of the ABS keycaps, but two years later and they have held up great. I have typed on it for five days a week for the past two and a half years and the only key that has some shine to it is the spacebar where my thumb hits. I sort of like the smooth feel of them anyway versus the double shot pbt caps that usually have a little bit of texture.I use the keyboard wired, but the battery did hold up very well without the lights on in Bluetooth mode. There isn't any noticable latency. The main reason I decided to just keep it wired all of the time is because in Bluetooth mode, the only critique is that the auto-off feature engages after only 10 minutes - it is a little too short. And then you need to press the keys twice and wait a second for it to kick back on. A minor thing, but with my fast paced job I often have to stop working for 10 minutes to shift to something else, and it was a slight annoyance getting back to typing. The other option is to simply disable the auto off feature, but at the expense of battery life.Otherwise, quality is great, all the switches still work perfectly, key caps held up well, typing experience is great. For gaming, I would probably not recommend. It will get you by as a multi-use keyboard, but these switches wont be the fastest. This is a great full sized productivity keyboard, I'd highly recommend especially when it goes on sale for around $70. Hard to beat the features and quality you get for that price.

Fantastic keyboard
Gateron Yellow switches feel great, and I'm saying that coming off a Deck 82 Cherry MX Black keyboard; I actually prefer the Gateron switches feel; can't overstate what a dream it is to type on this thing, this is literally my first Amazon product review, was looking for an excuse to type something!Pairing is fast and easy, and I can hold 2 profiles for my Mac with Bootcamp and without having to pair every time I change what OS I'm using. Lights are bright and look great, and theres 15 distinct patterns to use that are really well sequencedOnly cons I would list are keyboard height; you're gonna wanna invest in a keyboard rest as this board sits high and will likely give you bad wrist issues without proper support. Other than that, easily the best keyboard I've owned, and I've been threw a few really pleased

Amazing!
This keyboard exceeded my expectations, and I love being able to have a smaller keyboard with a numpad. Couldn’t be happier, love it!

Very Comfortable and Not Terribly Loud - Needs a Wrist Support
This is pretty much what I was looking for. I type quickly and have to type quite a bit some days and I wanted a KB that improved my productivity. Someone at work but a Logitc, but I looked it up and it was almost $300. This was far less, works great and with the brown Gateron switches provides about the right about of tactile input without being ridiculously loud. My wife was worried about the noise component.I bought a used wrist pad on Amazon and the typing is even better. I'm going to have to keep the quick reference card because there are too many features for me to remember. I also cannot read the toggle switches on the side, so I had to play with it to make it work. Eventually figured out how to use it in the USB-Mac mode, and today read the reference material to get the BT connected and running.I wanted just the lit version without the color LED, but they were going to be out of stock for some time, so the extra $10 for color didn't break the bank to get a keyboard in and going.

Great everyday, multi system keyboard, few issues
Love the size, it has all the keys I need, looks really nice, the quality is great, and the backlight is excellent and has many modes and colors. Works great on a Mac, I use it with two MacBook pros and an Ubuntu system all the time. Battery life is pretty good. The height takes a few days to get used to.The only issues I can think of are that there is no battery indicator from the os, so the only way to know that the battery is close to dying is by the red LED that lights up. The other is that there is no cheatsheet with all the key press combinations to enable the different features - the one that’s included is incomplete.

READ ALL THE DETAILS!
From a beginner's POV: I honestly loved this keyboard, but found out only after I purchased it wasn't hot-swappable. That's my fault for not double-checking this listing. Also, the RGB isn't programmable (there isn't some external app/program that you can use to fine-tune the RGB as you would a motherboard) but has enough different effects with adjustable brightness and variations on each pattern that I basically got what I wanted! And trust me, some of the effects are super cool.Regarding the actual keyboard, as a complete newbie to the the hobby of keyboard modding, I loved the punchiness of the keys and the quality of the keycaps... so much so, that the only reason why I've returned this model is to spend the little bit extra to get the hotswappable version with the aluminum case. It's ~$20 more, but it's worth it as I plan on this being model being my entry "vehicle" into the hobby of keyboard modding! IMO they're borth pretty good compromises/value between getting a cheap one that you'll regret down the line and overspending money on something that I might not even necessarily want.
