EagleTec KG050-BR LED BLUE Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Low Profile Mechanical Gamers Keyboard 104 Key Metal Mechanical Computer USB Gaming Keyboard for PC (BLACK)

This thing has been one of the best purchases I've made for my PC. After 8 years of using the same keyboard that I got out of the bargain section of a Best Buy, I finally switched over to a mechanical keyboard- and for my money, this is by far the best I could have hoped for. I have friends who spent over 120$ on their keyboard alone and this feels just as good, if not better, than theirs.The keys come off easily if you want to clean it, but not so easily that you're going to accidentally bust them off while playing. The lighting effects are neat- I'm boring and just leave it on standard lit keys, but there are a ton of options. The cord feels durable, the keys have a really nice feel to them, the keyboard itself has enough weight to not slide around, and the layout feels very natural. The only (very minor) complaint I have is that the way they opted to write the font on the keys- for instance, the number 0 is styled in a way that looks like ( ) instead of a full oval, but that's such a minor nitpick that it hardly matters. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a mechanical keyboard but doesn't feel like spending a ridiculous amount of money on one.

This is a very good no-frills, backlit, mechanical keyboard. I've owned it for about 4 months and so far have had no problems. It has satisfying clickiness, and is less noisy than the blue switch version (highly subjective, of course).It works well for gaming, but I don't play competitively and don't know how suitable it is for twitchy, fast-response games. It has 8 lighting presets for various game modes (FTS, RTS, etc) and can be programmed for two user-defined settings. There are 18 lighting effect patterns (steady, breathing, wave, rippling, etc). I used none of these, and stuck with the boring default "steady" lighting.There is no software needed for this keyboard. All features and programming are done with keyboard commands (FN + whatever). I prefer this, as I do not want to have to install crapware or create an account just to use a keyboard.

I bought this to try out my first mechanical keyboard at the office. I was a little worried by the lack of reviews, but I have to say I have no regrets, well worth the upgrade so far!Pros for me:Looks great- Looks are refined and suitable for an office - doesn't look as "gamey" as other keyboards. Though it doesn't look too "gamey," it can definitely be used for gaming and has different lighting settings which would be useful for gaming.Feels great - I love the feel of these keys. There definitely a noticeable difference in feel/typing between these keys and the old membrane keyboard I used. I enjoy typing on this. The entire keyboard also feels solid overall and doesn't slide around on the desk.Lighting - Lights are bright enough to easily see in a bright office setting, but not distracting. You can adjust the lighting if they are too bright for you.Sound - being brown equivalent switches, typing is not too loud to be annoying to co workers.Size - With the low profile design, it's a full size keyboard but not overly bulky.Cons for me:(Not really a con for me as I like the look but) Being a low profile keyboard, the keys are exposed on the edge of the keyboard. If your not careful, you can probably knock off the key caps if you bang or catch something on the side of it hard enough.Conclusion: Great bang for your buck mechanical keyboard suitable for both office and gaming! Would recommend to others.

I have an older EagleTec keyboard with blue switches. It's very clicky (loudish), but it is responsive and tactile. I bought this newer keyboard expecting similar tactile feedback, with quieter keys. What I got was a keyboard which is certainly much quieter, but they keys themselves are pretty mushy.It seems to be a good keyboard otherwise, and I'm not disappointed in the value for dollar, but if you are more of a typing enthusiast, this will let you down.

I got this keyboard on January 2nd, 2024 and it is now January 26th, 2024 so that's about a little over 2-weeks and out of frustration I have thrown it across my office and all the keys are scattered on the floor.What happens is (and this has happened multiple times since I've gotten it) the keys (Alt, FN, right-click, and Ctrl) on the right-hand side of the KB are so sensitive and much higher than all the other keys that they are easily depressed by a sleeve on a long-sleeve shirt, which then causes the KB to be in a state of lock with Alt, Function, or right-click and you cannot get out of it. You are unable to type because it will just keep opening and creating a new folder in the last folder you had open (in my case Downloads folder). Unplugging it and replugging it doesn't correct the issue, it's almost like it turns on some kind of "Ease of Access" feature that you can't get out of. Of course there are no instructions that come with the KB explaining any of the functionality that could be turned on/off when certain buttons are depressed, but what can you expect for a $14 KB (it was on sale when I bought it). The only saving grace is that I'm not out a lot of money!I would not recommend this keyboard even for the price as the level of pure rage this keyboard can cause is not worth it. When you're in the middle of a remote session or remote meeting and for no reason at all, you're keyboard all of a sudden stops working or just starts opening up new folders when you try to type and in order to fix it you'll have to reboot your computer, is most definitely NOT worth even the $14 I paid for it.If do give this keyboard another chance, I would completely disable those buttons (which are rarely ever used anyway) by taking the KB a part and completely severing the lines that enable those keys.NOT WORTH THE CHEAP PRICE...BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!!
