Maketheone Ergonomic Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, X-Bows Butterfly Layout Mech Keebs, USB-C Wired 80% Ergo KB with 86 Keys White Backlit for Desktop Computer PC (Lite, Gateron Black Switches)

One morning the unit just died, no lights, could not be made to type anything. I guess power supply in it gave out.I could care less about the way the light pulsed under the keys, I do like some basic backlighting, but do not care too much about it at all, I just loved the ergonomic layout and the mechanical keys.ETA: Company sent me a new cable after I messaged them, not that I suspected that was the problem. When I pulled the old cable out the USB 3 socket inside broke loose and was rattling around in there. After I had a chance to pull keys, remove screws and open it up and determined that the socket that the USB cable plugs into snapped off somehow, even though I had it just sitting on my desk plugged into my docking station ever since I got it. Perhaps it had been failing and that is what made the keyboard go dark, and when I pulled the cable out, for the first time, that is what made it go down. Either way, a bad non-reinforced delicate design and I conclude that my instance of this was not soldered well to boot. BE GINGER w/ your Keyboards, if you buy.

I really wanted to like this keyboard - but I just can't get used to the shifted keys. The build quality feels very good and solid, however, the Q, A, and Z keys being shifted half a key down and then X, C, and V being shifted a half key to the left was just too much for me. I didn't realize it would be so much different, but it is. I've used the split-style ergonomic keyboards forever and was hoping this would be similar.

The keyboard is well-constructed, but I've encountered a significant issue with its USB-C connector. About a year into using it, the connector started behaving erratically. The problem has worsened to the point where the keyboard is now unusable. Despite multiple attempts to contact X-Bows customer support (I originally bought it with the company), I've received no assistance. I even purchased replacement cables from the company, hoping it would resolve the issue, but it did not. I've been inquiring about obtaining a new USB-C connector to fix the problem, but I've been unable to get a response. Out of frustration, I purchased the Keytron Q8, an outstanding keyboard that far outshines the X-Bows.

I love this keyboard, I type on it all day, and with ease. Took a little getting used to, but after that I fell in love.
