“I was tossing up between a lot of the keyboards but decided with this one and I don’t regret it. It’s got a good weight to it, love the thocky sound. Would recommend”
“Paid for Shipping protection and my pacakage never came in when I contacted support they told me to talk to the company that shipped it and that they had nothing to do with it.”

“Feels great, haven't got a new KB since my Novatouch. Great high end features and feel, DSA caps on it feel good.”
“The dongle does not work after 6 months of using it and they want me to pay to fix it. If you want to buy a keyboard that is good don’t go for keycron”
