NACODEXAK992 99 Key Hot Swappable RGB Gasket Mount Keyboard | 4000mAh Bluetooth /2.4G /Wired PC Gaming Custom Keyboard with Volume Knob | OEM PBT Keycaps(Starry Night)

This is my 3rd keyboard, and this review is actually being typed on this one. My other keyboards are SS Apex Pro and EVGA Z20. I chose this because I wanted something smaller and portable that has a keypad! out of the box I was quite impressed with the fit form and function.The keys are a bit on the stiff side, with a tactile feel. Its a high Initial press, then the force drops off to bottom out the key. The volume knob has a great feel to it, and while rotating it it it doesn't seem off axis. It also has a nice notchy feel as it rotates.The RGB works well all being programmed within the keyboard and has plenty of options. Its not super bright, and the shine through comes well through the stock switches. there is no light bleed through the keycaps.The whole sound of the keyboard is great, it has a very nice thock, the stabilizers on the longer keys also don't produce unwanted frequencies. I am also not using this keyboard on a desk mat, its sitting on a wooden desk.The keycaps are seeming decent. not super thin and the double shot PBT comes through. The legends are an interesting font. I also wish that some of the multimedia shortcuts were listed on the top row for easier access.I haven't been able to push the wireless abilities yet, but I will be at some point. having a quoted 4000 mah battery, it should last quite some time.Overall a great keyboard, not perfect, but didn't expect perfection out of something in this price range. There is a a lot of features available in this keyboard that others don't have and it seems like a great place to start with a mechanical keyboard that can grow with you.

Pros:Very decent tactile feel. Seemingly, these are AJAZZ branded Outemu brown pre-lubed switches, which are not the top of the line, but very satisfyingNo discernable pingingDecent thockinessPretty quiet for brown switchesStarry Night colorway is very nice with the yellow accent keycaps (personal preference)Easy connectivity (wired is obviously top notch and BT is rapid, haven't tried the 2.4GHz yet)Cons:RGB is very dim and leaves a lot to be desiredKeycaps are not shine-through so RGB is pretty pointlessThe FN will remain red when using in wired configuration regardless of any setting you try. I covered it with tape and will not use the RGBSoftware is very limitedKeycap legend is a bit weird for a lot of the keys so being a touch typist would be beneficialMeh:Plastic construction might be con to some, but it doesn't bother meOverall, I'm very happy with this keyboard to the point where I decided to purchase 2 (home and work). it is very satisfying to type on and I do not regret the purchase at all.

The tactile, visual and audible typing experience is fantastic. More compact than your "typical" keyboards without losing the number pad. Can easily switch between up to four different devices and cost quite a bit less than comparable well-known keyboards.

This is an incredibly well made keyboard. It came very well packaged and feels extremely solid and high quality. The keys feel and sound super nice to type on. Battery life is excellent and the 2.4 wireless has worked flawlessly. I love the convenience of the sound knob.While I have almost nothing bad to say about basically every aspect of this keyboard, there is one flaw that could be considered a mild annoyance, or complete deal breaker depending on how you use the keyboard.After about 1-2 months of use, I found that some of the keypresses would stick and keep holding even after I had let go. This flaw has caused me quite a bit of annoyance in my daily work and in gaming as well. I'm not sure if it is just a flaw with the particular keyboard I received, but it is something I noticed and could not overlook.Without the sticky key problem, I'd say this keyboard is the best I have ever used. I've previously used a $200+ Razer Huntsman, many Ducky models, Corsair K70, RK Royal Kludge, CoolerMaster TKL... and more. No other keyboard comes close to this when it comes to value. It's perfect(almost)

As a budget customizable keyboard, this thing has absolutely blasted away my other keyboards. The sound of the keyboard is great, but I think I will replace the switches with quieter ones just to keep the noise level even lower. The feel of the keystrokes are great. The stock switches are nice in that the actuation force is high enough that my habit of resting my fingers on the keys doesn't accidently cause keystrokes. But by far the best feature of this keyboard is the battery life. This thing does not die. I bought it end of January 2024, out of the box with no charging, as of today May 7th, 2024, the battery was at 53%. My last mechanical keyboard would be dead in 1 week after regular use for work.

The downsides I'll get through first, when wireless I do sometimes have to hit a key to wake the board up, which if watching a show or movie could get annoying. Secondarily the actual functions of the keyboard are many and hard to remember for me, so I occasionally need to break out the manual to remember how to do something. Typing is fantastic, spacebar feels nice for the price, switches feel great, super long battery life to the point I forget it's not plugged in sometimes, also less important to some but to me the keyboard sounds very nice when typing. Dedicated media keys would have been a nice inclusion, but I can live without them, the volume knob is nice as is. Overall a no brainier when you can pick it up on sale, but even at full price I think it's pretty competitive. Also the color is fantastic in real life.
