“My son loves it. Upgrade from an implosion cap version. Not used to the US layout but he it learning some python. Might as well use a US Keyboard”
“Looks great and sounds amazing but keys gets stuck/don’t work or double press too often. When I remove the key caps to clean, it still doesn’t fix the problem. Example, my 7 key doesn’t work when pressed and my G key when pressed wrotes two g’s instead of one.”

“After a disappointing experience with a razer blackwidow keyboard I wasn't sure where to turn. I got this lemokey and love it. I am not a fan of RGB products requiring a program to constantly run in the background. I consolidated all rgb accessories into one…”
“The Numpad enter never worked. The L is really hard to get to register. The base bends like paper and overall its really cheap quality.”
