VELOCIFIRE Full Size Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 104-key with Tactile Outemu Brown Switches for Copywriters, Typists, Programmers(No Backlit)

I got the wireless, full sized keyboard with no backlighting so as to extend battery life. I am a software engineer, and this keyboard has been my work keyboard in an office setting for the past 6 months. Pros and cons below.Pros* Price: can't beat under $50 for a full sized wireless mechanical keyboard.* Switches: this will depend on the user, but I enjoy cherry mx browns, and these Outemu browns do well at replicatingthe sound/feel of those.* Battery life: I can get by for 4-6 weeks with only turning this off over the weekend.* Structurally sound: sturdy build quality of the board/switches.Cons* Missed key strokes: This is the biggest issue imo and is the only reason i took away a star, but given the price and how little annoyance there is for me, it was only worth taking away one star. A few times per day, there is a missed keystroke and I have to go back and edit what I just typed. To be fair, I don't frequently have to type out long paragraphs, instead needing to type out long lines of code. While mistakes can be annoying, to give some perspective, I make more mistakes in my typing than the keyboard misses keystrokes, so retyping a snippet of code is not a big deal for me, especially because it's so infrequent.* Noise: not terribly loud, and you can add dampers, but I have a very quiet office, and people in the adjoining cubicles can definitely hear my typing.* Keycap quality: Not too surprising at this price point, but the keycaps are cheap with the lettering already starting to fade and the tops starting to appear shiny on the frequently used keys. Fortunately, these can be easily replaced. Unfortunately, quality replacement caps regularly cost more than this board did in the first place.

OMG! I flipping love this keyboard! I am not a "mechanical nerd" that know the PSI necessary for Cherry red, blue brown whaterver....I just know I prefer a mechanical keyboard to a membrane/chicklet one.The keys feel perfect to me. The case is SOLID ! And the only this MORE awesome than the fantastic price is that this keyboard works with the same micro-dongle as their Velocifire Veritcle wireless mouse; which, btw, is saving my carpal tunnel!!! And the price on that was fantastic as well.The only ONLY reason I even know about Velocifire is they are one of (if not the only) suppliers of WIRELESS MECHANICAL keyboards. And I am much the better for it. It's only been a few days, but I love both of these products. (actually mouse could be "grippier" It's so smooth, with a vertical grip I keep squeezing it forward like a watermelon seed between my fingers.)Seriously, though. Love this.

I have a few boards but wanted to go wireless in my new office.I had 3 choices for a fullsize wireless mechanical board, this, the very poorly designed Logitech G613 (permanent wristrest?!), and a $200 Filco Majestouch Convertible. Needless to say, I decided to try this before throwing a whole bunch of money at the Filco board.What a fantastic decision!Pros:- Switches are great. I got browns, nice feedback and response. A little less clicky than my KBT Browns but not at all a detriment.- Height is just right. It has a slightly higher bottom edge (spacebar) compared to my Ducky but with or without a wrist rest, it feels great.- Design is nice. Simple black board with nice thick semi gloss plastics. Very little creaking even when purposely flexing it. Can't really complain. Note: The sloped front edge does NOT get in the way of your wrist rest.- Battery life is outstanding. Lasted me 41 days being used for an 8 hour work day and LEFT ON all night/weekends! Seriously impressed.- The rubber on the feet hold it firmly in place.- Wireless range is about 15ft with latency/lag issues popping up around 12ft. My computer is 8 feet (big desk :)) away from my board and I never have lag.Cons:- Keycaps are HILARIOUSLY cheap. You should replace them with at least double shot ABS if not PBT for you rich people. Even the $12 double shot keycaps on ebay are a tremendous improvement, and honestly great caps for the money.If you ended up on this board somehow, give it a shot. Surprised the hell out of me!

I decided to go with this mechanical wireless keyboard for my media center PC.After purchasing and returning 3 different Logitech wireless membrane keyboards that all had various defects (keys getting stuck in the down position, some keys feeling noticeably firmer than others, some keys not signaling at all, etc) I made the decision to never purchase membrane again.I have a wired Corsair cherry mx brown at my desk and these off brand keys feel just as good to me.The battery on this one is rechargeable through usb which i thought was an odd choice. I'd rather swap out batteries rather than wait for a recharge. However, in the past two weeks that I've been using this keyboard I haven't ran out of battery yet.This keyboard is extremely heavy! Maybe that's a plus for build quality, but as a media center keyboard that I'll be picking up and tossing on the couch all the time its a negative for me.I would have preferred to have dedicated buttons for media controls instead of a function key combo, but I'm thankful they are there at all.So far no problems with wireless signal loss, every key stroke is picked up instantly without lag or missed strokes.At 50 bucks I think this keyboard is a steal considering you could get a REALLY crumby defective Logitech keyboard for the same cost or more.
