Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo, 2.4GHz Dropout-Free Connection,Full-Size Keyboard and Portable Mobile Optical Mice,Long Battery Life

All L.E.D.'s work in the proper order and are easily changeable for it's 8 or 9 different modes it has for the backlighting. It's a mechanical style so yes the will be lot's of clacking, but I like it that way. Comes with a tool to change out keys and replace if needed, and yes all of the keys are interchangeable. For some reason my J and K were backwards but everything else was in order upon arrival.

I have very little prior experience with Mechanical Keyboards. I have used a Corsair K70 RGB while at a friend's house once and did not get the appeal. Another time, I borrowed a custom 60% keyboard from another friend and found myself using my trusty cheapo membrane after about two hours of frustration. Needless to say, I became biased against the idea of mechanical keyboards for quite a while.Several years later, I decided the time had come for me to finally get one of these and decide once and for all if it's worth it. I settled on this one for a variety of reasons:1. Full Size. The vast majority of Mechanical Keyboards are tenkey-less which means they lack the number keys on the right side of the keyboard. Why this is popular I fail to understand. There's a few others that instead of being tenkeyless get rid of the arrow key section and shift the tenkey section over - which I have to admit is clever and probably more practical, but still leaves me wondering why.2. Price. This is one of the cheapest full-size mechanical keyboards on the market.3. Modabiity. There is only one other keyboard on the market that is as easy to mod as this one, and that one's automatically worse by virtue of being produced by a Reddit Meme-inspired company.First, I'll be discussing the keyboard as is.The keyboard comes in a black cardboard box with ZHUQUE+ printed in big letters in the center and a few relevant stickers in the corners. Upon opening the box, you'll find that the keyboard is held in place securely with Styrofoam and covered with a translucent plastic sheet, again with ZHUQUE+ branding in the center. The non-detachable USB cable was tucked into a thin carboard subsection, as well as a few other accessories. Unpacking it all was no difficulty.Upon setting the keyboard on my desk, my first thought was, wow this is heavy for a keyboard. And it's no wonder that I thought it was heavy; according to the manual there's a metal plate installed in this keyboard. Apparently this is normal for mechanical keyboards, and it does help prevent it from sliding around. My second thought was that I didn't get exactly what was pictured because the trim and Zhuque branding in the top right corner were gold instead of silver. After turning on a light, I saw that there was just some protective yellow tape over everything, that was a bit of a challenge to remove because you had to reach around keys. Even left in place, none of it effected the functionality of the keyboard. Once the yellow tape was removed, it was exactly as pictured.Also included in the box were two immensely useful extras. The first is a combination key puller and, well, I'll get to the other use of it later. The included key puller is a proper wire-based tool, and it works perfectly well as far as I can tell. I've pulled every key on my keyboard off with it more than once and I see little reason to get another one to replace it. The second included extra is a sample kit of the different mechanical switch types, containing one each of red, brown, blue and black.I think now's as good of a time as any to cover the different types of mechanical keyboard switches that are out there. The most common type of mechanical keyboard switch out there is the Cherry MX standard. I say standard, because the patents on the switch expired and now there are multiple clone brands out there producing compatible switches with only slight differences from Cherry's original design, most of which make no practical difference. This board in particular uses the Outemu brand of switch.What does matter in MX switches are the stem color of the switches. Cherry makes switches with slight functional differences, and marks these switches by changing the color of the stems. Most clone companies follow the same pattern.Red - Linear. These switches are simple. Once pushed down far enough, the switch activates, but there is no felt feedback that the switch is activated, only when the key is bottomed-out. Personally, I think these are terrible to use.Black - Heavy Linear. The same as red, but with a heavier spring. These require slightly more force to push down, and as a result have a better feel in my estimation. Still, wouldn't be my first choice.Brown - Tactile. These switches have a bump point in them which you can feel when you actuate the switch, prior to it bottoming out. The bump is very subtle, however, and when typing at full speed you can't even feel it.Clear - Super Tactile. Similar to the brown switches, these have a tactile bump. However, the bump is significantly more pronounced on these than on browns. They also have the heaviest springs of any Cherry switch. I have not used these myself so I can't comment.Blue - Clicky. These switches make a very loud click when actuating. It's enough to annoy myself, let alone anyone in the same room as you. That being said, they also have good tactile feedback as well, being more pronounced than brown switches.Green - Heavy Clicky. A blue with a heavier spring, requiring more force to actuate and bottom out. I have not used these myself.This keyboard ships with the blue clicky switches, which means that it's stupidly loud. I can be blasting death metal through my headphones, and the sound of myself typing kills the mood one keystroke at a time.They keycaps included on this keyboard are from what I can tell doubleshot ABS. These are almost the best in terms of construction that you can get. Apparently doubleshot PBT is better, but I'd probably be unable to tell the difference. That being said, there is a flaw with the keycaps, and that is the font, or perhaps the print quality. Many keys are outright hard to fully read, like a newspaper that got soaked. It's still readable, but the letters look blurred and runny in places. From what I can tell, the keycaps used are standard size and should be replaceable with ones you can order online for about the price of another one of these keyboards.Reading the manual is almost a must for this keyboard because of its feature set. And while there is a degree of Engrish in the manual, a given due to it being made in China, the only unreadable part of the manual is the back side, because it's written in actual Chinese. The manual is concise and explains everything clearly enough.This keyboard is backlit, and the backlight comes in a number of different colors. The thing is, the colors are fixed per row. So, the top row is all orange, the number row is all white, the QWERTY row is all green, the ASDF row is all purple, the ZXCV row is all blue, and the Ctrl row is all red. Unless you want to break out a soldering iron, the only thing you can do to customize the LEDs is to change which ones are turned on and which are turned off, as well as brightness of the whole board. That, or you could turn on any of the many pre-defined lighting modes, all of which I find cheesy and don't bother with.The keyboard as it ships I would rate as 3 stars, because while I'm sure it's a perfectly good mechanical keyboard, it's a poor value as a keyboard itself. But the thing is, I did not buy this as a keyboard; I bought this to experiment on. And that, it seems, is what the keyboard is made for.This keyboard's killer feature, one shared with, to my knowledge, only the Reddit Meme keyboard, is that the key switches themselves can be easily removed. On most keyboards, the switches are soldered in place and non-removable. On here, they're not. In fact, they're as easy to pull out as the keycaps, and use the reverse end of the included key puller to do so. This opens the door to all sorts of crazy modding potential. Don't like the blue switches this came with? Buy a pack of another color, pop out the blues, and pop in the new ones. No soldering needed, making it quick and painless.There are some caveats with using other switches. Since this keyboard is designed for Outemu switches, I've heard rumors that using other brands might damage the pin receptors on the board somehow due to those minor differences in construction. I've also heard that people haven't had a problem as long as they didn't change the switches every five minutes. As long as the switches are plate-mounted MX-compatible [or PCB mounted with the plastic pins cut off], they should pop in and function. The other issue concerns the backlighting. Most MX switches have black bodies, which will cover the backlight LEDs. If you do order replacement switches, order ones designed for use with SMD LEDS; these will have a cut out where the LED would be placed on the board and a transparent top. Another option is to do the cutout yourself and swap the tops for transparent ones, but that's a lot of work. A final option is to not swap the switches, but modify your existing ones. Heavier springs can be ordered, converting the blues into greens. There's also the Jailhouse Blues mod, which quiets or silences the blue's clickyness and alters the feel of the keystroke.Do note that using non-Outemu switches or modifying your existing switches may void your warranty. Assume that you do so entirely at your own risk.I'm currently experimenting with a variant of Jailhouse Blues myself. It changes the click from deafening to pleasantly mild. When combined with o-ring silencers, the keyboard may actually be quieter than my old membrane when all is said and done. That being said, I'm finding the results inconsistent, but that's no fault of this keyboard so I can't complain.As a keyboard, it's a poor value and is loaded with unnecessary features. As a mechanical keyboard, it's an incredible value with a killer feature found on only one other keyboard to my knowledge: hot-swappable switches. As a platform for experimentation and getting into mechanical keyboards as a hobby, this killer feature makes it an exceptional starter board. Depending on what you're after, this may be exactly what you are looking for, or not at all what you're after. In my case, it was exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price. I have to give it 5 stars as a result, and I can only see myself lowering the rating if it dies on me for reasons unrelated to my experimentation.

First off, the keyboard is very well built. Weighing in at 37-Ounces, it is a heavy keyboard. The alloy panel on to probably adds to the weight significantly which is a good thing in my book. Nobody wants feather keyboards sliding around their desk. Especially when it comes a mechanical keyboard. There is tons of different features to change the LED pattern, speed, and brightness. You however can not customize or change colors like some others. There is a bunch of hot keys for the calculator, audio +/-, email and more. There is adjustments for the keyboard polling rate as well. Setup was easy being that it is a standard USB Plug & Play device, I had it on my desk, plugged in, and typing away in less than a minute. The switches used in this keyboard are Outemu switches. Compared to some other brands, I really like the blues. They are very clicky and feel great! Inside of the package you do get a backup of 1 x Brown, 1 x Black, 1 x Blue, & 1 x Red Outemu switch. I really liked that as I have never tested all of the colors. The fact that they were included, I can pop one in and see how it feels to see if it’s something I may want to upgrade or switch to in the future. This is a great keyboard that completely blew me away for the price. Has way exceeded my expectations and for the price it can't be beat. However, there was one drawback that I personally found and it’s that certain keys such as (Home, PGUP, PGDN, Pause, Del), the keys that are spelt out, the seem to be slightly cloudy not allowing optimal light to come through the key. Its really no big deal, but it was the only thing I noticed that I did not like. Not big enough of an issue to deduct a star over. Overall, for the price, you can't go wrong. The keyboard looks great, works great, sounds great.. It's a win win across the board for me. I highly recommend it.I received this product at discount for my honest review. Even though it was at discount, I review all items as if I paid full price. If I believe something is trash, I would say so.
