MelGeekModern97 Fountain Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 90% Layout Gaming Keyboard with Hot-Swappable and Pre-lubed Linear Switches, Bluetooth/2.4 GHz/USB-C, Customizable Keys, for Mac Windows Linux

Good mechanical keyboard to start with

When I first received this keyboard, I had major issues with ghost keypresses. I suspect the switches that came with it may be overlubed. I changed out the switches, blew the board out with some canned air, and put in some Kailh Copper switches instead. Overall, the board was much improved, but still has some trouble with ghost keypresses here and there.

Good typing experience, now I will use it for both gaming and working.

The Fountain Modern97 makes me think of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Aside from that oddity, it is a really, really nice keyboard. The Kailh Sonic53 switches are incredibly smooth to type on and have a wonderful marbly sound profile. Backlighting is bright and easily customizable from within the driver software. I love the 97% layout as it retains all the keys I need while also saving some desk space. The stock keycaps are fine albeit a bit boring, they are easy to see and feel good under my fingertips. I swapped them for some cute cactus cat MOA keycaps and let me say it was hard to find a set that worked with the light mint green color of the case, lol. Wireless connects quickly, but I mainly use this wired. Overall, this is a great, premium feeling keyboard.

Modern97 Fountain Wireless Keyboard Rechargeable Rainbow LED Backlit for Home Office Keyboard Compatible for Windows Desktop, Laptop, PC, Gaming 90% with 97 KeysThis is a keyboard that has the fingerprints of an enthusiast's company all over it. I can immediately tell that a lot of attention to detail went into this keyboard. The design is clean and modern with a pleasing colorway combination. The speckled lime case with the black and lime key caps go very well together.The keyboard uses custom Kailh linear switches called the "Sonic53". They are a medium weight silky smooth factory lubed linears that has a nice pop on the depress. They are quite excellent. The center pole is of standard length, but given that the PCB is south facing, it behaves well with Cherry profile caps.The gasket design allows for a little give for comfortable typing and a uniform sound signature across the rows. The stabs are lubed and silenced, all six of them. That's right, no ticks. That's an impressive feat. Half the time I spend building or maintaining my keyboards seems to be tuning the stabs. To have them basically perfect out of the box is a very pleasant surprise.The lighting effects are clean if a little muted given the double shot ABS caps are not shine through, but that's fine, as I generally turn all the lighting off anyways.Overall this is an impressive keyboard at a good price and for a prebuilt board, it gets everything right for a smooth typing experience out of the box without having to tweak it.

The media could not be loaded. This is one the absolute best keyboards I have used in a very long time. Not only does this keyboard work great for Bluetooth and wireless connections, but being able to just sit it on my desk and leave it wired-in for gaming and writing is all I really need. The keyboard has an excellent design with a speckled paint-style finish. The chassis of the keyboard is on the thicker side, but that helps with the denseness and sturdiness of the keyboard to prevent it from sliding around (along with the rubber anti-slip feet) along with giving the keyboard a premium and durable feel. The keyboard includes a switch puller, keycap remover, USB-C cable, wireless receiver, and spare keycap options (different color options along with Mac keycaps). The keyboard also has a sloped-angled single frame design with no adjustable feet.As far as performance goes, this is one of the smoothest keyboards I’ve used. The key presses are silky smooth, responsive, and most importantly- they’re on the quiet side. The switches don’t require much force to actuate with it being somewhere in the middle in terms of overall force needed, and unintentional key presses aren’t much of a concern either. The keys are audible, but in a much more acoustically pleasing way as the keys sound less on the hollow side, and more on the satisfying side with the good kind of a clack/thumpy sound. In my demo, the audio is a bit more exaggerated and louder than it is in person. As far as gaming goes, I have been incredibly pleased by it. All of the switches respond virtually instantly, and I haven’t had any issues with an action not registering or any form of lag. However, when using it wirelessly, a small delay or lag can happen intermittently if the receiver has to pass a signal through thicker materials. The keyboard is very easy to type with and just feels incredibly natural to me, but that’s my personal opinion.The keyboard also has optional software you can install to get even more versatility out of the keyboard if you choose, but you won’t need it if all you want is to adjust your LED color modes and brightness as you can do that through the keyboard directly. Speaking of, the LEDs do get very bright, but they lack in vibrancy as every color has more of a white hue that gives various colors a “faded” look. Regardless, I prefer having a backlight rather than not having one as I do a lot of writing or gaming at night and having the light on can make it easier to see what I am doing if I miss any of my key presses.Now, we have to talk about some issues. As mentioned, not having adjustable feet forces you to rely on the angle it’s built for, which is personally a bit too shallow compared to what I am used to, but it’s not as bad as it being completely flat. Additionally, when doing the keyboard ghosting test, I found that it can only support up to 6 concurrent inputs at a time. This isn’t a severe issue as even in most games I wouldn’t be needing more than 6 keys at once, and I don’t type fast enough to have incorrect key presses or rollover issues, but it is something to note for those who are serious about their keyboards overall functionality.Overall, this is one of the best keyboards I have ever used personally, and I mean that. While it may have a couple of issues, its silky smooth typing experience, responsive inputs, and tactile yet quieter keys are exactly what I want. For someone who also does a lot of content creation, the keyboard isn’t picked up by my microphone nearly as much as my old boards, and the keys just feel really great to use and press. In my opinion, this keyboard offers the sensation and reliability of a much more costly keyboard but at a fairer value, as long as the 6-key limit and no feet adjustments aren’t an issue to you. I highly recommend it!

Typing from this thing right now as a matter of fact! I really like the gold/blue/white color scheme and the overall heft of it.I'm typically more of a clickity-clackity type of keyboard user, as I find that very satisfying, on nights where I need to keep it down, this thing is whisper quiet while still feeling very nice and smooth to type on. I actually have it connected to multiple devices, and switching between them is seamless. The battery lasts FOREVER, and overall I've had absolutely zero complaints. An excellent keyboard! And no loss of numpad! I use the numpad CONSTANTLY so it has made me quite sad when trying to find more compact keyboards and their first solution is to axe a very useful quadrant of the keyboard.

This is such an amazing keyboard! Totally worth it! The feel is amazing and helps me for long days at the office typing up documentation. It has so many ways to connect - I prefer bluetooth, but it's super convenient to have so many options! It is built with absolutely top notch everything - heavy base, quality keycaps, mechanics - everything! 10/10!
