FIRSTBLOOD ONLY Game. AK35I Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – PBT Keycaps – Red Switches - Pink-White Matching – White Backlit - Multimedia Keys - White

There is little to complain about. What I appreciate the most, is that this keyboard fills the void of reasonably priced keyboards with neutral yet modern aesthetic, brown switches, media controls and n-key rollover.+Keycaps are good quality+Switches work just as I'd expect browns to feel+Metal plate has a nice feel to it too; rest of the base is plastic - acceptable quality though+Cable is not coated in anything fancy but very flexible+Designated media controls are nice to see and use+White back-light is well done, symbols on key-caps are easily readable+Comparing to other keyboards in this price range - quiet enough+Multiple light modes, adjustable brightness+Might be just me but: I really like the ergonomics - easy to type onSome minor downsides:-Switches got a bit of a wobble to them - yet still, comparable to my old G810-Some quality misses here and there: a slightly wider gap between plastic base and metal front plate around media controls (update: mitigated in a replacement I've received), minor material residue along bottom edges of a couple of key-caps-Flaps under the keyboard only allow for one level of elevation-Inconsistent and bare-bones marketing – the main picture on Amazon shows keyboard with reverse colored key-caps; Instructions only in Chinese; links in instruction lead nowhere-Allegedly there is software for download – not that I am interested, but no idea where to find it eitherTime will tell how good this one is going to last over the years. So far I am pleasantly surprised.*update: Ajazz has been very helpful in getting my replacement keyboard after a couple of key stabilizers developed more wobble than usual. I've received my replacement real quick and free of flaws. Much recommended!

I'm a keyboard junkie. I have always liked the first desktop keyboards that came with IBM and Apple systems almost 40 years ago, and have been looking for an inexpensive version of the same thing almost ever since.This is just about the perfect example.It is a little plasticky and sure;risingly light considering that the baseplate for the keyboard itself is metal (a rather nice subdued grey brushed aluminum fishing), but unlike a lot of inexpensive keyboards, this one is nice and solid, doesn't flex at all, and stays exactly where you put it.Brown switches are tactile but light in feel, and remarkably quiet when compared to black and blue switch keyboards I also use. The keycaps look a little cheap, and the fond is quite modern and 'square' but my fingers locate well and my error rate on this is very low. That's a good sign, because I'm typically a poor typist.Backlighting is excellent. Only a single color - white - but multiple lighting patterns and brightnesses. I prefer backlighting on and steady, and it is here that my only complaint lies. Not because you can't get 'on' and 'steady' backlighting, but because unless you can read Chinese, there's no way to actually know how.All I have so far figured out is that FN and PB seems to lock the current lighting pattern/intensity as it is, and FN and PGUP/FN and PGDN appear to switch up and down the various lighting patterns/modes. Then, with the button to the left of the scroll-wheel lit (red), the scroll wheel adjust light intensity up and down rather than system volume when the button is off.I got it to 'on' and 'steady' after a few minutes. It's very pleasing like that, and the backlighting can go from off to quite bright.There are other keyboards that cost even less than this, and some that are actually more weighty and solid, but this is, I think, my favorite, and easily beats much more expensive keyboards for looks and feel.This one is going to partner with a blue M1 iMac, and the white/blue keys with grey top plate and white backlighting looks pretty much perfect with it.Highly recommended... particularly if you can read Chinese!

I purchased this for work because when I searched for "IBM-like keyboard" this one came up. I have no idea about gaming keyboards, but this is exactly what I wanted for work. It so reminds me of the original IBM keyboards we used all the time. The backlighting is great, the feel of the keyboard is amazing. I type all the time whether it's keying numbers in a spreadsheet, or emails and documents. I am not sorry at all with this purchase; I'd say if you're on the fence, try it, you don't have anything to loose!

Overall this keyboard is very nice, it allows me to type much faster than I could with just a standard laptop keyboard. The keystroke actuation sounds a bit loud for the brown switches but it is very livable. Some other reviews on here gave tips for how to change the brightness which was very helpful. My only complaint on the hardware side is the lack of a dedicated mute button. This was a simple enough fix, as I just run a custom software macro for this.My biggest issue with this keyboard is the software and how unintuitive it is to get. The instructions in the box are entirely in Chinese. The software for this keyboard is not on the Ajazz website, instead you have to download it from their Facebook site, go to a linked dropbox and THEN download it from the dropbox. A bit of a hassle, honestly, but the keyboard is great so I will leave it at 5 stars.

Great keyboard! Directions are a bit hard to figure out, as they’re not in English. But once you figure it out, it’s great! Cool functions to change the pattern, speed and direction. I use it for an office, and it’s not TOO loud for others around me.

I've really enjoyed my blue-switch version of this Ajazz AK35I keyboard, and the only two changes I wish I could make would be having two key switches for the space bar instead of one, (it feels plenty solid though), and I wish more color variations were available. It's just been a nice experience coming from a background of only using regular modern membrane style USB keyboards.
