Could you make a video to understand if i can install low profile switches on my Ergodox EZ shine. I don't like the brown tactile switch that came with it. I found over the time, I like the low profile key switches that come with Nuphy Air75.
This was my first "custom" mechanical board. I bought it because it sounds great stock and because I could mess around and learn about switches, caps and mods easily and inexpensively. It has been great as a beginner project. I've moved on to barebones kits and building my own now, but the Aula got me there. Highly recommended for people in similar situations.
The newer models of the aula f75 have corrected the i font and gasket feels uniform. It's a god tier keyboard for the price, puts many more expensive ones to shame.
I've had the F75 for some time and it's absolutely amazing, my favourite keyboard I have. I also own some premium keebs too, like a Keychron Q6 Pro, Q9, Q3 and a Q0, and the F75 is my favourite. I loved it so much that I got the F65 and today I ordered the F99. These keyboards are so good they have completely ruined my perception of budget.
My first mechanical keyboard was the infamous redragon k552, at that time i didn't know i was keyboard enthusiast until i moded that one... Then i really considered buying a true entry mechanical keyboard so i went to Aliexpress and found aula f75, k86, AK820, akko 5075b plus ( drac)... At first i thought k86 will be my best choice because of the pricing but the lack of reviews at that time let me stay away from it, so i got left with f75, AK820 and akko, AK820 was slightly cheaper and i actually decided to go for it so i waiter for the sale event... And that waiting was one of the best thing i did where i found akko 5075b plus at a price of 50$ which is basically like f75 at that time (screen version ) Never been happy and i really sniped a deal there , akko has some decent budget keyboards and switches...
@@its.inframe Well both my L99 and L65 have the Greywood V3s and they sound a bit different. The F65 sounds more thocky while the F99 sounds in between thocky and poppy. The F75 with Reapers just sounds poppy. So I guess the size (and construction underneath) plays a role in how the keyboard sounds. It's not a jarring difference, but it is noticable. The same built quality, same materials, same aesthetic queues (like the little step around the bezel) between the 3. I think they also have the same amount of sound padding - which is a lot (I think the same as my £150-200 premium Keychrons). My Yunzii YZ68 that cost me £90 has basically no sound dampening at all, I did DIY some foam (from the box) and tape on the inside but the difference is very small. Nice little keyboard but honestly after these AULAs it just feels like a rip-off. Overall, would not recommend over any of the 3 AULA keebs. If you hold FN+B, the numbers light up correspondingly to your battery's %, so 1 for 10% and 9 for 90%, which I think is really cool. Not sure what the line light is supposed to be, I thought it would just show my battery level, but I think it just glows green, orange or red depending on your battery, although I have not checked because I mostly use wired. My only real complaint about the AULAs is that the software is meh, good enough for most, doesn't really bother me, but far more rudimentary than VIA and it's just a thing I usually like to have and not need than to need and not have. Oh and also they all have separate customising software, so you don't download just one like VIA and all compatible keyboards can be connected through that; you need to individually download 3 different software for the 3 keyboards, which is a bit dumb but like I said, the software is meh and that obviously doesn't really matter if you're buying just one. One of my nitpicks is that the F65 does not have the dedicated caps lock light for some reason, which is a bit disappointing, I'm not a fan of the RGB that just lights up on the key like on most keyboards. I often have to lean over to see if my caps lock is on. Also also, the knob on the F75 feels cheap. Like very light and free-rotary instead of the Keychron's more teethy CLONK-CLONK-CLONK feeling, which I do prefer. But how much can you really shit on keyboards that are this cheap.
I get why people say aluminum is premium but I actually prefer plastic keyboards and PC plates as they sound thockier. Aluminum keebs are super clacky initially until you get the right combination of keycaps, switches and other modifications. They are usually not worth the price point if you're looking for thock, when you can easily modify a cheaper plastic build to sound exactly how you want it.
the sound test for the greywood switches were actually most surprising to me, all the sound tests and comparisons i've seen online make the greywood sound a lot deeper than the reaper switches.
My favorite keyboard under $80 is by far the TECWARE Phantom+ Elite 87 Key Pink Switch. It's on Amazon at the moment for $68. Incredible build quality for the money. Sounds great too. thank you for the recommendation last year by the way. :)
I reviewed this about 7 months ago, written, and I was very impressed. For list though I would spend more and get an AL board but you can't often find this about $60 or some variant of and to me it's a great keyboard that will last for years for not a lot of $$$ at that price! Very thorough review as always Betty! So glad you guys are back!
I have the AULA F99 with Leobog Greywood switches, and I love the sound and feel. But after watching this video, I'm considering getting the Reaper switches to try out 😊
I'm receiving mine next week, F99 with Graywood V3s as well. I love how they sound in all the sound tests on UA-cam. Reapers are creamier and sound great but Graywoods are a perfect combination of both Thocky and with a hint of Creamy. I've seen plenty of vids on these boards (F75, F99, ect.) and I always prefer the Graywood sound.
It's crazy that just a few years ago, a custom keyboard that looks and (probably) feels that good would set you back like $300+ dollars plus hours of modding. While I do admit that modding is the best part of a custom keyboard, it's just insane that something below $100 can be that good now. I bought an RK a couple of years ago for maybe like $50 as a baseline and the cost of my mods was actually more than the keyboard itself and it still doesn't sound as good as the Aula does lol
I own both the Aula F75 (my all-time favorite keyboard) with ice vein switches and the F99 with the Graywood switches. I have several, more expensive, keyboards (upwards of $250), and these have been my daily use keyboards for two months now.
Hey, i think it's worth checking out their M75 variant. As far as I can see, it's the F75 but with full metal chassis and weighted, south facing led, flexcut PCB and all that. Mine really surprised me and I don't think I'll need a new one
When it comes to the font on keycaps, I find it attractive and very cool. The small imperfections actually make the keyboard stand out from the crowd. Ultimately, it comes down to personal taste.
bought my hi75 for $27 because of 12.12 sale here, $9 for 100pcs of leobog graywood v4 switches and another $9 for some cherry keycaps. I live in the Philippines
@@cdavisthenerdplays1188 in terms of quiet.. would that be the Cherry MX silent red? Would love to do the same as you but no idea if I’d manage to buy the right things or even set it up properly haha
What I like about the Aula F75 which beats other expensive keyboards is the battery life. Battery life on this keyboard is so good while keeping the wireless connection seamless. On 2.4ghz, the Aula F75 connects instantaneously even from sleep.
On my model aula f75 the volumn knob was set to volume, the LEDs face north and the box was radically different. Edit: also mine doesn't flex unevenly like that or even flex much at all really. Kind of seems like the newer version of the board is a downgrade?
The Rainy75 you showed looks like it has a white frame, but on the website, the "white" appears tan. Did you mix and match the color options shown? Is that maybe the silver frame? Silver looks more white on the website, but then it doesn’t come with the black, white, and tan keycap combo.
I got it for $50 in my country it's cheaper so totally worth it and the sound and typing experience is amazing I love the blue keycaps too only complain I have is the volume knob, it's made of metal yet feels cheap plasticky and wobbly
I have the F99 version in the same colourway as I need my Numpad. It's a good budget keyboard for people like me who just want a nice typing experience (feel and sound) out of the box and who can't be bothered to open it up to mod the innards. However, similar to quite a few other brands of pre-built budget keyboards, they only come with linear switch choices. So I knew before getting it that I was going to change to tactile switches. I gave the Reaper switches a go, and they are nice and smooth, but I really need the tactile bump for typing. The keycaps in my F99 didn't have the strange fonts you mentioned so they looked respectable, though not the best. Eventually I changed to shine through keycaps as I sometimes type in the dark. I confirm that some of the switches along the edges get pulled out along with the keycaps, but it's not a big deal unless you change keycaps often. My main complaint is the location of the Page up and Page down keys which are in the top right corner. I miss having them close to the arrow keys like in 100% size keyboards, as navigation is a little inconvenient. I have just discovered that the Leobog Hi98 has the navigation key layout I want and it's aluminium too. Annoyingly it comes with linear switches only. Am holding off on getting it. It's a waste to buy prebuilt and get linear switches that I never use. Looking to get a barebones 1800 kit with the layout , specs and price that I want. There are fewer choices than for smaller size formats, but I can be patient. Things move fast in the mechanical keyboard industry.
That's the reason I went with the Akko 5075B Plus since it had a choice of tactile switches (Akko V3 Cream Blue Pro) It sounds alright stock, much better than previous stock boards I've had. With my Epomaker SK61 I opened it up and did a few mods since it was relatively easy to get inside but from all the tear downs I've seen on UA-cam the gasket mount 75%'s like the F75 or 5075b they're very difficult to get inside because there are no screws and you need to pry it open and I really don't fancy damaging my new keyboard.
@@iitzfizz I did get the Akko V3 Cream Blue tactiles for my F99. Unfortunately, now that I know more about where I want the Page Up and Down keys in my 1800-form keyboards, I have to say that Akko's 1800 layout doesn't cut it for me. There is a plastic case barebones kit that satisfies my criteria, but I'm waiting until the new year to see if a similar product in aluminium is released.
All I want to know is how programmable is this keyboard, since its an ANSI layout and Im a spanish speaking programmer I need to tinker a bit with the mapping of the keys and I dont know how good is it.
I just bought this keyboard this morning! Prime day had it 20 dollars cheaper plus a 5 dollar coupon, I really wanted the rainy 75 pro but I couldn’t see myself spending almost double the price for my first keyboard
i was having a hard time picking between the roccat vulcan pro and the aula 99 pro. i eneded up going with the aula because i was affraid i would fat finger the thin keys of the roccat.
I'm typing on one right now lol I've built keyboards and used hundreds over the years and I will say this: the F75 pro is one of my favorite pre built keyboards currently. If you just don't want to mod a board yourself, it really is a great choice.
hye i am having an issue with this bord its keys got locked adn no keys are coming in use i cannot write anything with this can you help me with this i tried function plus win key to unlock the key locker but it didnt helped. i was using the software then it got freased
yeah i got the F75 keyboard. My wired keyboard just went crazy and i needed a new one fast. The local shop stocked this and a few other by Aufa. Got the F75 as it met all my requirement at a good price.
I was in the market for a decent budget 75% keeb and I was weighing up between this and the Akko 5075B Plus and I ended up settling on the Akko because it had an option of tactile switches (the V3 Cream Blue Pro's). Wondering if I made the right decision.
That's the board I buy for my colleagues. It's cheap-ish, has optimal layout, sounds great. And yes, I wish it would be aluminum case, screw-in stabs... but for the price it's the superior choice.
I love how I buy this keyboard and then everyone starts making videos about how cool it is. I was really second guessing myself when i bought it but im glad so many other people love it too.
I dont have any issue with this keyboard. And what funy is I bought Aula F75 on Aliexpress for 54$ with shiping. Its have diferent legends on back (because is in diferent language). Apart from that, everything works impressively for the money
I've been using this keyboard for a couple of months now because I realised I was missing having a number row for work (I was using a 60% Keychron), and I pretty much agree with everything in this review, though I can't say I found the uneven flex to be noticeable when typing. I'm sure if you're working with different keyboards day in, day out, it's a different matter though.
Just got mine today. Good news and bad news. Good news, I bought it for only $27 (php conversion as of dec 2024). The bad news, Leobog reaper is freaking heavy to press despite it sounding amazing. The flash deal only have the reaper switches so I might end up spending $15 on alternative switches like Leobog Greywood or Gateron milky red. But as an overall package...holy shit this is gaddam premium. I could not imagine having this well made PC accessory for less than $30. My current redragon keyboard looks and feels absolutely cheap next to it. And I bought that for $45!
A lot of criticism for the sake of criticism in this review. I got one of these and trust me since you don't type like an 80 year old who saw a keyboard first time in their life, you don't press the keys so hard that you actually flex the board when you are typing. Not even close. And I am telling you as a man whose hands are bigger and fingers are heavier. And while legends aren't "perfect", little quirks don't necessarily bother and in fact since they aren't exactly same on all boards, it makes yours kind of "unique".
I think she was pretty fair. Ponting out flaws isn't just criticism for the sake of criticism, it's a review, she's supposed to nitpick. She never said any of the flaws were deal breakers, only small issues. She even said it's a great keyboard to start with. The keyboard's fine as is, if you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
this is a 12 minute review of a mechanical keyboard on youtube... people watching this are not your normal users and do care about these sorts of fit and finish things... I have a few mechanical keyboards and have thought about building my own from scratch just starting with a printed PCB and a soldering iron.... the people that subscribe to this channel very much want this info.
cant recommend this keyboard and brand enough. i got this for 39 dollars on sale and it actually blew my mind how good this sounds stock. absolutely worth the price whatever switch and color scheme you buy. i got the reaper switch and i love typing on it so darn much lol. i was hesitant to buy it at first because i got an old rk61 keyboard but i figured it was time to upgrade
@@kerzonmendoza6023 Yo I also got the rk61 blue switch version. I am considering buying the aula f75, but I have one concern. Does the keyboard flex when you are typing or playing games?
F75 is more charming in person. This is one of those products that once you've bought it, you want other people to get it as well, hence the unbelievable amount of good reviews. It's that good at least for beginners and non hobbyists according to the popular ytbers. I've bought this myself in icevein and has since bought other keebs. You just cant help but fall in love with it. It's hard to hate specially since the normal price for this in asia is less than $40 and does more than what other premium keyboards do. It's good enough for gaming and makes you enjoy writing your essays while typing. Im not sure about the issues on the legends but I dont have it with mine. The hotspotty flexing is also not a dealbreaker and could be an advantge depending on how you type. I mostly use this with my tablets so I didnt have to deal with the support software issue but it would be nice to have. If youre willing to hold out a bit more to get alluminum casing it wont be a bad choice either. But if you're not a serious hobbyist and just want a good sounding keyboard with premium typing experience out of the box, maybe just swap out the keys for a different look, you wont regret your purchase.
Hiii i love your videos I want your opinion I have my own keycaps and my fav switches What should i buy ajazz ak 820 pro or aula 75 (Ill mod both anyway)
Aula F75 is the budget king. I have it and it's the best bang for your buck keyboard out there. I've had more expensive boards that's less impressive. I guess the best thing about it is, it's just too good for the price. There are better boards out there but more premium on the money.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial yea was during the Eurocup stuff alie sponsored. Got lucky with coupons and store credit. Literally got a set of keycaps for €0,01
just received a wired only RK R75, which looks almost identical, saw the thumbnail and had a mini heart attack thinking "i just bought a bad keyboard overall, didn't I"
@@aihrarshaikh8975 48 hours with it and i like it so far. My only problem with it is the non-existent software support for the Spanish layout on mine. Would still buy another R.K. bc why not

It's a waste to buy prebuilt and get linear switches that I never use. Looking to get a barebones 1800 kit with the layout , specs and price that I want. There are fewer choices than for smaller size formats, but I can be patient. Things move fast in the mechanical keyboard industry.
That's the reason I went with the Akko 5075B Plus since it had a choice of tactile switches (Akko V3 Cream Blue Pro) It sounds alright stock, much better than previous stock boards I've had. With my Epomaker SK61 I opened it up and did a few mods since it was relatively easy to get inside but from all the tear downs I've seen on UA-cam the gasket mount 75%'s like the F75 or 5075b they're very difficult to get inside because there are no screws and you need to pry it open and I really don't fancy damaging my new keyboard.
@@iitzfizz I did get the Akko V3 Cream Blue tactiles for my F99. Unfortunately, now that I know more about where I want the Page Up and Down keys in my 1800-form keyboards, I have to say that Akko's 1800 layout doesn't cut it for me. There is a plastic case barebones kit that satisfies my criteria, but I'm waiting until the new year to see if a similar product in aluminium is released.
All I want to know is how programmable is this keyboard, since its an ANSI layout and Im a spanish speaking programmer I need to tinker a bit with the mapping of the keys and I dont know how good is it.
I just bought this keyboard this morning! Prime day had it 20 dollars cheaper plus a 5 dollar coupon, I really wanted the rainy 75 pro but I couldn’t see myself spending almost double the price for my first keyboard
Nice work on the video edits!
i was having a hard time picking between the roccat vulcan pro and the aula 99 pro. i eneded up going with the aula because i was affraid i would fat finger the thin keys of the roccat.
I'm typing on one right now lol
I've built keyboards and used hundreds over the years and I will say this: the F75 pro is one of my favorite pre built keyboards currently.
If you just don't want to mod a board yourself, it really is a great choice.
I have the Epomaker P75 and bridge 75. Then I got the Aula f99 for work. It's very nice. 😊
hye i am having an issue with this bord its keys got locked adn no keys are coming in use i cannot write anything with this can you help me with this i tried function plus win key to unlock the key locker but it didnt helped. i was using the software then it got freased
Any suggestions for a $100 FULL size deep Thocky sounding keyboard? The Reaper switch sound in this video sounded great to me.
yeah i got the F75 keyboard. My wired keyboard just went crazy and i needed a new one fast. The local shop stocked this and a few other by Aufa. Got the F75 as it met all my requirement at a good price.
How does it compare to the leobog hi75?
I was in the market for a decent budget 75% keeb and I was weighing up between this and the Akko 5075B Plus and I ended up settling on the Akko because it had an option of tactile switches (the V3 Cream Blue Pro's). Wondering if I made the right decision.
That's the board I buy for my colleagues. It's cheap-ish, has optimal layout, sounds great. And yes, I wish it would be aluminum case, screw-in stabs... but for the price it's the superior choice.
I ordered the ice blue varient with the ice vein switches yesterday, super excited to try it.
I love how I buy this keyboard and then everyone starts making videos about how cool it is. I was really second guessing myself when i bought it but im glad so many other people love it too.
I got aula f75 from taobao for like $35 damn that was a steal
you just cannot beat this price brother
Which switch is the quietest?
Before clicking the video: "Wait, is this my keyboard?"
4 seconds in: YEP lol
Honestly, try Dark Project Onionite, Sigma and Delta keyboards. they seem to be one of the greatest value for money boards currently
should i get ajazz ak820 pro?
I dont have any issue with this keyboard. And what funy is I bought Aula F75 on Aliexpress for 54$ with shiping. Its have diferent legends on back (because is in diferent language). Apart from that, everything works impressively for the money
Is it swat hoppable? I wanna try black jelly. I'm not talking about Vegemite, mate. I'm talking about hitting those switches.
it's hotswappable
@SwitchandClickOfficial I need another keyboard like my dad needs another ex-wife. Love you guys. Give my best to your better half for me.
I've been using this keyboard for a couple of months now because I realised I was missing having a number row for work (I was using a 60% Keychron), and I pretty much agree with everything in this review, though I can't say I found the uneven flex to be noticeable when typing. I'm sure if you're working with different keyboards day in, day out, it's a different matter though.
Switch and click can u review the yunzii yz75
Same question I ask in every video you post: Is there an ISO version of this keeb? Thanks.
all the cool kids use ANSI, ISO is cringe
Just got mine today. Good news and bad news. Good news, I bought it for only $27 (php conversion as of dec 2024). The bad news, Leobog reaper is freaking heavy to press despite it sounding amazing. The flash deal only have the reaper switches so I might end up spending $15 on alternative switches like Leobog Greywood or Gateron milky red.
But as an overall package...holy shit this is gaddam premium. I could not imagine having this well made PC accessory for less than $30. My current redragon keyboard looks and feels absolutely cheap next to it. And I bought that for $45!
How do I make this keyboard less flexy?
Can you review the EPOMAKER x LEOBOG Hi75? I recently got the barebones kit fir 37 usd and its an aluminum alloy case
Got this keyboard for my spouse. After I heard it with the Reaper switches I went out and bought a pack of the switches for my work board.
Thank you for the Rainy75 shoutout! I went with that one :)
A lot of criticism for the sake of criticism in this review. I got one of these and trust me since you don't type like an 80 year old who saw a keyboard first time in their life, you don't press the keys so hard that you actually flex the board when you are typing. Not even close. And I am telling you as a man whose hands are bigger and fingers are heavier. And while legends aren't "perfect", little quirks don't necessarily bother and in fact since they aren't exactly same on all boards, it makes yours kind of "unique".
I think she was pretty fair. Ponting out flaws isn't just criticism for the sake of criticism, it's a review, she's supposed to nitpick. She never said any of the flaws were deal breakers, only small issues. She even said it's a great keyboard to start with. The keyboard's fine as is, if you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
this is a 12 minute review of a mechanical keyboard on youtube... people watching this are not your normal users and do care about these sorts of fit and finish things...
I have a few mechanical keyboards and have thought about building my own from scratch just starting with a printed PCB and a soldering iron.... the people that subscribe to this channel very much want this info.
How long does it's PCB last? I'm interested but the reviews say i starts malfunction around 2-3 months.
im heavy using mine almost a year now without any problem battery is last for a long time almost 2-3week
As a owner of a RT100, I can confirm the Epomaker software sucks (I have jumped into this hobby few days ago, and I am so happy!)
My first and the last mechanical keyboard. Can’t ask for more it sounds and feels great to type on.
Les bureau 160x70 c'est suffisant pour pouvoir installer la tour sur le bureau ?
Please Try the Cidoo qk61
been using this keyboard for 4 months now.
bought it for 48 usd a great deal for me
cant recommend this keyboard and brand enough. i got this for 39 dollars on sale and it actually blew my mind how good this sounds stock. absolutely worth the price whatever switch and color scheme you buy. i got the reaper switch and i love typing on it so darn much lol. i was hesitant to buy it at first because i got an old rk61 keyboard but i figured it was time to upgrade
@@kerzonmendoza6023 Yo I also got the rk61 blue switch version. I am considering buying the aula f75, but I have one concern. Does the keyboard flex when you are typing or playing games?
And also how does the knob feel?
@@mohannadrahmoun5296 bit gay mate
@@Bromaster bro what?
@@mohannadrahmoun5296 yapping abt knobs nd how they feel...
Monka 3075 pro v2 or this?
F75 is more charming in person. This is one of those products that once you've bought it, you want other people to get it as well, hence the unbelievable amount of good reviews. It's that good at least for beginners and non hobbyists according to the popular ytbers.
I've bought this myself in icevein and has since bought other keebs. You just cant help but fall in love with it. It's hard to hate specially since the normal price for this in asia is less than $40 and does more than what other premium keyboards do. It's good enough for gaming and makes you enjoy writing your essays while typing. Im not sure about the issues on the legends but I dont have it with mine. The hotspotty flexing is also not a dealbreaker and could be an advantge depending on how you type. I mostly use this with my tablets so I didnt have to deal with the support software issue but it would be nice to have.
If youre willing to hold out a bit more to get alluminum casing it wont be a bad choice either.
But if you're not a serious hobbyist and just want a good sounding keyboard with premium typing experience out of the box, maybe just swap out the keys for a different look, you wont regret your purchase.
My Ajazz A820 cost me $54 and the font on the key caps is the same on each key cap, so it's possible even on a cheap keyboard.
I bought this keyboard in black and gold and for what it's worth it doesn't have the weird font issues.
Mine arrived yesterday got it for 12 bucks quite literally unbeatable for the price
I bought this for $50. It’s a very good keyboard. btw Ice Vain switch is my favorite. its creamy ❤!
The batch it reapers I got earlier this year are quite scratchy
A cheap keyboard i use and it has been doing well since i bought it a year ago is the IROK FE87/104 RGB Mechanical Keyboard
Hiii i love your videos
I want your opinion
I have my own keycaps and my fav switches
What should i buy ajazz ak 820 pro or aula 75 (Ill mod both anyway)
Aula 75 is great but software really does suck. Don't let it run firmware update.
Aula F75 is the budget king. I have it and it's the best bang for your buck keyboard out there. I've had more expensive boards that's less impressive.
I guess the best thing about it is, it's just too good for the price. There are better boards out there but more premium on the money.
i got this one just for 30$ (760.000 VND), pretty crazy deal
Check out the Mchose G75. Just as good as the Aula F75 if not better, cheaper, and has DOUBLE the battery capacity. I love it so much.
Can anyone tell me which of the switches is the best sounding for Fortnite and Minecraft like the best one sounding and performing wise
Only reason i got it for my collection is because the sound is so NICE AND its also a rly nice color combo
Im thinking of buying this or its older brother F99 for the keypad
An aluminium case keyboard at around that price is the Gamakey TK75 PRO
bought for about $37, worth every penny, and made me addicted to typeracer again
0:11 the answer to your question. 0:24 the reason.
got the aula f99. Got it for 30 bucks......due to crazy alie discounts. Great board for that price. I need numpad
alright $30 is insane
@@SwitchandClickOfficial yea was during the Eurocup stuff alie sponsored. Got lucky with coupons and store credit.
Literally got a set of keycaps for €0,01
Ok but where we can buy the bridge75?
divinikey, and a bunch of other resellers
Hi! Huge fan of u! Can you please review Monsgeek M1 V3? ❤
I bought this keyboard for mobile gaming. works awesome. i really like it. got it for 55 on amazon
Omg i just bought one after seeing only 1 review. It was on sale for US$35.
Can u review vortex ns75?
Is fn key of this keyboard remappable??
I nabbed one for $40 from TT and I love it.
just received a wired only RK R75, which looks almost identical, saw the thumbnail and had a mini heart attack thinking "i just bought a bad keyboard overall, didn't I"
I got the R75 too been using it past 3 months, very much satisfied tbh, just ordered some shine through keycaps cause I like them more
@@aihrarshaikh8975 48 hours with it and i like it so far. My only problem with it is the non-existent software support for the Spanish layout on mine. Would still buy another R.K. bc why not
