Portronics Hydra 10 Mechanical Wireless Gaming Keyboard with Bluetooth 5.0 + 2.4 GHz, RGB Lights 16.8 Million Colors, Type C Charging, Compatible with PCs, Smartphones and Tablets(Red)

This keyboard is budget friendly & awesome. Feels good, Sounds good, Looks Good. And battery backup is also is very good. Typing experience is also good.

(Got brown switches) Light actuation feedback with a creamy feel. No software required. Battery holds up well. Works with mac and windows. Hefty and feels like a quality product. Connectivity is decent. Decent for coding too with dedicated arrow keys for the format. Cons would be the lettering, didn't like the font on the keys much. Some keycap wobble. Manual on the product website different from the box one, so keep the one you get handy. For coding specifically, `,End, Ins key needs an Fn but most other keys are easily accessible Overall a solid purchase at the price point for both gamers and writing code.

build quality and connectivity is amazing, value for money, only 1 drawback : not height adjustable

writing this review after using it for nearly 1.5 years. I am a programmer by profession, I do LOTs and LOTs of typing. now this keyboard gives you more that you are paying for. the mechanical touch, the RGBs and the functionality to connect via usb dongle, bluetooth and wire is soo awesome. though the build quality and the keys are pretty good, i found it that using it in a moisture prominent environment will make it go mad. previously i was in delhi for 5 months and then shifted to mumbai for work and after moving to mumbai, within a month few of the keys were not working properly. like i need to hit them pretty hard or else the key won't work. so i started packing my keyboard in a bag with silicon gel and cleaning it more regularly. luckily the keyboard recovered!! :) so i guess it's not very waterproof as in mumbai being at coast, moisture levels are way higher as compared to north. rest the battery backup is easily upto a week if not using the lights and max to 4 days if using the lights. so it's a pretty good one.

(Edit: Less than 8 months later, some of the keys have died making it unusable.) Don't cheap out on mechanical keyboard, invest in a better one that'll work for a long time, or settle for membrane until you can afford a good one. I'd suggest looking for a 75% or atleast a 65% keyboard layout. I have been using this keyboard since nearly 2 months now with my laptop + external monitor setup at home. Firstly I hate the "60%" keyboard layout. It's too compact and jammed together resulting in a LOT of mistypes. I thought I'll get used to it but even after a month I haven't. Maybe it's my skill issue but I'm still perfectly comfortable with my laptops' built in keyboard. I can type at 130-140 wpm easily on my laptops' keyboard but on this thing I can barely hit 110-120. And there's only one Fn key in the right side and you need to use that to access the Tilde symbol (via Fn + Esc) or backtick (Fn + Shift + esc), both of which are often used by programmers. That's annoying as heck too and still haven't gotten used to it. This keyboard was smooth at first (still nowhere close to the more expensive ones) and it was clicky yet silent, as expected from a good MK. However after 2 months of use it's not as smooth as day one and it's much louder too. Maybe it needs some lubrication but there are no instructions for it. Also the Shift key gradually keeps getting worse (misses hits) for some weird reason. Pros: - Type C charging. One of my main reasons for buying this in the first place as I was in a budget and this was a must. It can be also switched to usb mode for zero latency in gaming. - Battery life. Unlike what some other reviews say, I can easily run it for 5-7 days on a full charge. It automatically enters standby after a short timeout. And it also works parallelly while charging. - Lighting. It supports a good bunch of predefined colors, (RGB ofc) styles, patterns. However I preferred a static red color and that is possible too. Brightness is adjustable. All of these is controlled via Fn + some key combinations. - It's not as heavy as the better MK's. Easy to move it around without worrying about dropping it. The build quality is decent although it's mostly plastic, but doesn't feel breakable.

This is by far the best, THE BEST, keyboard in this range. The build is solid, quality is superb, battery life is amazing, switching devices/modes is effortless. It is configurable for both windows and Mac. The red switches are charm, clicks are amazing, very less latency, even suitable for lite gaming, perfect for daily use, student, coding or desk job. Compact size, decent weight. This is the beast keyboard in terms of functionality. The price at which this comes and the quality and functionality it provides is exceptional. It's always a steal deal buying this. PS: this was my 4th keyboard and this will remain my long long term keyboard. Being using this from past 6-7 months.

Nice keyboard for beginners who wants better diversity in connections. Go for it if you have a budget of 2k

The keys were initially working fine but now 4 6 months of use it malfunctioning. If we press a key then there will be multiple repeated words on my S10 ultra tab. I am using the keyboard occasionally and still it malfunctions
