Praise
“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…”
Richard B.Verified buyer· via Keychron
Critique
“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.”
