Having worked in IT for 30 years and having 5+ spare keyboards at home I was casually looking through the keyboards on amazon and came across this one and thought it looked nice and had great reviews. I then decide to do some cleaning up and BAM, I spilt cover my Dell keyboard that I had been using for years.Anyway, the Dell keyboard become unusable and I thought "I'll buy this one". Now, my other keyboards have been more expensive and just cheap plastic chicken doo daa so I was a bit weary.Well this little beauty arrived today. Very neatly packaged. Fairly small and had a bit of weight to it. I unwrapped the keyboard and was pleasantly shocked. It looks like it's worth more than it is. Both the kids (gamers) looked at the keyboard and were trying to waggle me out of it and told them where go.Now came the official turning on/connecting ceremony.. I said few nice words and then plugged in the keyboard and wow. There's a great display of lights when the keyboard is first connected but i'm not sure if it's purely for the eye or for diagnostics. Anyway, for the next 30 minutes me and the kids just sat and played with keyboard going through all the lights.To move on, I have been using the keyboard for a good hour now and I have to say this is the best keyboard I haveused to date. I'm not missing the numeric keyboard, the keyboard sits perfectly on my knee and the number of typing errors has decreased dramatically. I love the mechanical click sound and the feel of the keys is great. I wished I had bought this much sooner to be honest but yeah, this is the best keyboard I've ever had so far.I'm going change the light display to "Christmas Tree Mode" later hahahaha and I'm gonna bin the other crappy keyboards and get myself a few more of these.Bloody Love it.Thanks Team.

I've been thinking about getting a new keyboard for a while, but never got around to looking. So when I saw this a number of keyboards with coloured LEDs lighting up the keyboard, well I had to buy one!!Now this keyboard's design will probably divide a lot of people. It's like some of those car designs that loads love and loads hate. The keyboard is sent from Amazon in the actual box and no external Amazon box. So when you open the outer box, you get immediately to the keyboard. It is suspended in the box with bumpers so it's still well protected. All that's in the box is the keyboard and a set of instructions. As this is marketed as a gaming keyboard there are many added functions that come with the keyboard, including one that will only illuminate the usual keys you use for first person shooter games.The keyboard cable is nylon braided so it looks like it will take a lot of wear and tear. The cable is also of a decent length so I had no issues routing it down the back of my computer desk and into the tower on the floor. Once you connect it and turn your computer on, the keyboard lights up. Each row of keys has a different colour, but if you don't like the lights, you can always turn them all off. This then leaves the keyboard with the clear plastic to show the key - as can be seen in one of my photos.When you look at the keyboard, it looks like a keyboard where the cover has been removed. The keys stick out from a metal base. Typing on it feels really easy, but it is a bit noisy as the keys click a lot. Now I love the clicking sound, but I could see why some wouldn't.The keyboard is quite compact as it doesn't include a number pad, which is my only dislike of the keyboard. Overall, it feels well made and it doesn't look like they have skimped on the materials used.I'm very impressed with this keyboard and will now put my old keyboard into storage as I can't imagine me going back from this keyboard. I would definitely recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for either a general or gaming keyboard.

This is one of the two Mechanical keyboards I recently purchased as I'm changing up my workstations once again. I've been using Red switches for a few months now and although they're nice and quiet, I'm not finding them most pleasant to use right now - they feel more clucnky to use and resemble a membrane keyboard.This blue switch replacement is good - it gives you the typist feel with complimenting clicky noises, and although blue switches (by cherry) don't necessarily have one of the lightest actuation forces, these feel slightly lighter than my red key set. All in all, it's a great typing experience.The lights are nice and bright, enhanced by the reflective aluminium bodied keyboard - cycling through the modes, adjusting brightness and the speed of the animation is made clear on the keyboard + the little instructions included.The only reason for a drop in a star is because there are no spare Switches included, nor a key removal/switch removal tool, so bear this in mind when purchasing.

First impressions are that it feels well made, compact and has a lot of useful features.This is my first time using blue Switches and I can see why everyone loves them so much! These Blues feel really soft and smooth.The features are all I need on a keyboard as I don't bother with Macros. I love the Media control keys which I can Pause/Play/Skip songs on a playlist on the fly without opening Spotify, Volume and Mute system sounds on the fly too and also Game Mode which helps prevent accidental Windows Key during games.The LEDs are nice and bright.This is one of the best keyboards I have used. The sound that it makes while typing is very good. It is very comfortable to type and the response is also very quick and apt. The lights combination makes it look very attractive and works properly like a full gaming keyboard. It is very well priced as well for this product. The quality seems to be good as well. I recommend this product.Overall I'm really happy with it and paying £21 (RRP £25) is pretty close to a bargain when it comes to peripherals these days.This is also my first Rii product and I love it, even after just 30 minutes of usage.

We are the Apple family and my daughter asked if she could have a keyboard so she could have her MacBook Pro further away from her and raised up. Was expecting her to want the Apple keyboard and having to shell out almost a hundred quid but to my surprise she showed me this one and said that she had researched it and was the one she absolutely wanted.I tried to talk her out of it as I am now so used to the lovely short travel of the keys on the Apple keyboards and how they are less fatiguing (I touch type and spend a lot of my day sending emails for my business) but she was adamant that this was the one she wanted. My next concern was if it somehow conflicted with the Apple IOS as it was not an Apple product or one that is certified by them but the reviews seemed to show that it would be OK.Took the plunge and my Prime membership meant that ordering on Saturday meant that I had it for Sunday :-)Gave it to my very excited daughter and we plugged it in and after a couple of questions on the MacBook it was good to go. I still have my reservations about the key travel but she absolutely loves it and I must say that the sound that the keys make is quite satisfying and oozes build quality. Also, the light show it gives when connected to the computer is delightful.So, to finish up all I can see is that she is very happy with it and if she's happy, I'm happy :-)

While it worked it was amazing, pleasant to type and all, 3 days after the return window the “S” key started messing up, since I use it for gaming it’s a really important key for me, I don’t know if the quality is that bad or what but I can’t return a broken keyboard now and I’m stuck with non working “S” key

This keyboard is fantastic - especially given its cost. At first I tried it and was like meh - so I put it into my storage for a year. Then one day I needed a two-keyboard setup (my other keyboard is Logitech G910). So I started using the Rii, and the more I used it, the more it grew on me.Key presses are noisy, but in a very, very satisfactory way. Tactility is excellent, spacing between the keys feels at home. The keyboard is compact, which means it will fit anywhere. It's sturdy as hell and easy to clean up due to its open construction. The only drawback (for me personally) is the colouring on the backlight - it looks like somebody just picked a bunch of random LED strips and slapped them on the board. Which is not a problem by any means - it's just that the keyboard doesn't allow custom colour setup (in other words: you're stuck with the colours that the designer thought up), and I would prefer a monochromatic backlight. Still, this is not a problem by any means. And especially for a keyboard that costs less than 25 quid while offering the tactility and durability of brands like Logitech or Corsair.This keyboard is now my number one kfor writing. And prolly gaming too. The Logitech keyboard got relegated to work activities.

Probably one of the best keyboards for value for money. Has nice and tactile blue switches, lights, aluminium covering and interference-resistant wiring which does not cost a fortune.You can also switch light modes or turn them off completely. It also has a macro feature which allows you to record a sequence of keys then type them out after pressing a specific key (I have had some embarrassing moments with them when accidentally pasting some text in a conversation I'd rather not have sent).Only one complaint: The LED lights can only light up a single colour (for each row: purple, pink, blue, yellow, red). There is also no light for the caps lock/numpad/macro keys which makes it hard to determine if you have them on. It is also extremely hard to clean and they do not come with a key cap remover.Speaking of damage, one key light has stopped working completely and during standby mode, the keyboard subtly lights up as if tiny bursts of voltage reach the keyboard.Other than that, would recommend as a good first mechanical keybaord.
