Praise
“This keyboard is designed to work with windoz and Mac. But I can't find Apple replacement keycaps anywhere. This is the only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5.”
Jeff E.Verified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“Launching a game makes the board thinks it switch to Mac mode, swapping Alt and Win key. This is random and will usually happen when launching a game. The only fix I know is to unplug and replug the keyboard over and over again until it thinks its in Win mode…”

“I absolutely love this keyboard. It sounds amazing and the red switches are so smooth in feel. The colours are also great.”
WojciechVerified buyer· via Keychron
Critique
“The keyboard is nice, but it took over 3 weeks of shipping to arrive. On their website it says they deliver in a week or under to the US.”
