This keyboard is only $73 AUD right now on Amazon AU. Comparatively the Nuphy via their store is about $165 AUD (+postage) and for some insane reason $275 on Amazon AU. So it seems like a lot of your listed negatives are valid for the poor US pricing but in other regions there are a lot less competitors at this price.
It's $48 in the US so I think the price isn't makes it a good deal. For me i've seen this stacked with another "low profile" and they seemed the same height. I think the side placement over back placement of the power cord is because it's designed to sit on top of a laptop keyboard like, i think it's called a nuphy air, and the cable might get in the way. That's my initial thought. I think it's a good value that you get extra caps. I can't speak to build quality or typing as I haven't used it, i'm hear reading reviews. but i've seen skeptics and some opinions seem to be more from those expecting the build quality of a $100+ keyboard. I have a mac and have been looking for a 75% keybaord that's not low pro though cause i kinda like the full keys as i'm used to those. But i keep coming back to things on this board like 2.4 Ghz. The Keychron doesn't give you that and it's like $40 more expensive. You're paying extra for hot swappable switches on many others. A big thing is this comes with the mac keys standard and windows caps included not to mention a whole other set of keys. Useful cause i hate orange lol, but also others didn't have spare mac keys which would make that an added cost which is annoying. I still my choose a keychron but i have bluetooth keyboard and hate always having it fall asleep and missing the first few letters of typing. But to me this seems like a solid affordable option. I just don't know if i really want a low pro keyboard.
This is a BUDGET travel keyboard. Hence why it is low profile, so you can stick it in your backpack or bag. What other LOW PROFILE MECHANICAL keyboard that has the same/similar features are you going to find for $40USD or less? Simple answer there is none unless you want to sacrifice for a disposable membrane one. You want better sound? Pay the $169 for the lowfree flow. You want looks, get the CF lowfree edge at $219. The closest competition is the nuphy air75 which is $149. All of these are much better options, but cost more than double the price. This is a steal even at $40 which is still half the price of a pos apple magic keyboard.
Honestly nice keyboard but the fact that it doesn't have a knob/sound control button throws the deal off for me, I ended up going with the redragon k632
I only see red switches on K632. If they have browns or blues, I would have went for that one. I make so many mistakes on red switches. I ended up getting this Azure K652 in this video but in blue switches. I do make a lot of mistakes typing on it as well but I am not sure if maybe because I am not used to the keys and layout. I have a G915 TKL on my main rig but wanted to try something smaller for my work laptop that is lightweight and easy to carry. I kind of wish I got the brown switches haha.

Same on Amazon in the US now.
Lubing+ tape mod the switches fixed all the clack
This keyboard is only 50 usd in our region (SEA). I’m buying this as a secondary keyboard that i can easily carry around. Awesome video btw.
Where I'm from it is a whooping 90 dollars. but I really dont have a choice given my budget (100USD) Taxes go crazy on electronics up here.

I already own a nuphy
But i wanna get this one to mess around with
its not bad but i like my keychron k3 (also 75%) better
keychron is a great brand!
I think this keyboard is very cheap and worth it, its only around 50usd in my country. Most low profiles here are 100usd or more.
I liked the stock sound better
Letters low contrast. It's very hard to typing. I'm wondering whether to return the keyboard to the store.
Tempting, but I think I’ll spend $60 more and get the Air 75.
Agreed
How do unscrew board for me to tape mod it too?
thanks for nice video. can you suggest me good keyword to buy under 60$ - 70$ price range ?
So you can just remove screw and access to the battery ?
is the same REDRAGON TL84???
I had the same doubt
thank you for your detailed review. just got mine it works well with my hp pavilion x360 dh0xxx laptop ❤️
I didnt like the feel of this keyboard. Returned it.
what is the height of the keyboard?
