“I bought this a while back because I just needed ANY keyboard as my main board broke and I didn't have the time/money to replace/fix it. When I saw the price of this I was very skeptical but figured it had to at least be better than your typical e-waste…”
“It is alright just the keys are not the best and got no rgb led lights”

“The keys feel smooth and easy as you type. It's probably the best keyboard I've used. I've had a number of mechanical keyboards, but, none of them can compare to the v5 max. The feel of the thing while typing, is hard to not constantly repeat.”
