Fogruaden 75% Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 75 Percent Keyboard Hot Swappable, Red Switch, RGB Backlit 82 Keys TKL Mechanical Keyboard, NKRO Compact Keyboard with Volume Control Knob (BlueSamurai)

I got the Matcha purely for the sake of having a white base, and I wanted to try something hot-swappable since I had never had a hot-swappable keyboard before. I'd seen a few video's online and after finding the blue switches of my previous keyboard rather grading, I went for something I would possibly modify easily in the future.Out of the box, this keyboard sounds quiet, and very pleasing to the ears. The keys are comfortable and I am finding through this keyboard that I prefer the keycap preface more than your typical caps you find on most other keyboards (unfortunately I am not too well versed on keycap profiles, I just noticed these keys are different than usual).RGB works well and there are many styles and colors to choose from. Over all, it's a very good keyboard for the price and I would recommend to those who are looking for something with a softer sound.

I'm disappointed that I had to send it back. It's a really pretty keyboard. The colors and lights are great. I love that the light shows through the keys. I loved everything about it except the red switches. I still give it 5 stars because it's a great inexpensive keyboard. It's just personal preference. This is the first time I tried red switches and I don't like how they feel or sound at all. It would have been perfect if they had the same keyboard with different switches. I ended up buying a different keyboard with the same brand as this. It has white switches and they are pre-lubed. The board has multiple layers of padding so it has a true creamy feel with thocky sound which ended up being my favorite. I wish they offered this keyboard with different switches.

The media could not be loaded. This the BEST keyboard I’ve received at this price point. Keys are extremely smooth to the touch (red switches). High quality keycaps in terms in thickness and the print. RGB is very vibrant and everything is nice and sturdy. Very good keyboard, I highly recommend this if you want a 75% keyboard and a good price point.

The media could not be loaded. Starting off, the stock version of this keyboard is just meh, which is why I deducted a star off my initial rating. The switches are kind of garbage. Maybe with a bit of lubing, they will be good to use if you aren't wanting to spend money on new switches.Another thing I would like to add is that I appreciate the seller adding in the artisan key caps. They are actually really good quality and they match the key caps really well.Ok now here is what I did for the mods--1) I added painters tape behind the PCB board2) I put in poly-fil at the bottom of the housing to create sound dampening3) I lubed and clipped the legs of the stabilizers4) I added Leobog Graywood V3 linear switches which I also lubed (these are the BEST switches to buy on a budget. They are $3.50 for a pack of 10)5) Put in new keycaps that have more of a matted feel to themWith all of these mods, I kid you not, the keyboard sounds just as good, if not better, than my $150 keyboard that has stock mods on it.There is minimum disassembly with this keyboard as well, so at most, it takes 5 minutes to get everything taken apart.The RGB lights are also really nice on the board and you can adjust them accordingly to your needs. They even have a light setting where the WASD and arrow keys are the only ones lit up, which I thought was a nice touch.I basically spent $65 all together (minus the keycaps) on EVERYTHING, and I feel like I am using a higher end, expensive keyboard.Modding is time consuming, but its actually fairly simple. If you are new to the keyboard world and want to mess around with upgrades etc., GET THIS KEYBOARD. I will be buying another one if it comes in a different color.

I am in love with this board, this is my first hot-swappable keyboard and this item really brought me into the passion for mechanical keyboards.I put some neoprene into the board to give it that thock that all of the youtubers are talking about when it comes to mechanical keyboards and some Akko Matcha Pro v3 Greens, since my only qualm with my previous Gateron Browns was that their actuation was so light that I could nick a key and get a keypress in. That combined with the mid quality keycaps and some dampeners really sold me on making an office friendly, but still aesthetically noisy, keyboard.The keycaps are nothing to write home about and I really find the set to be a little gauche for my taste, but having a black and blue keyboard was really nice when you take out the gold and samurai flavored keys.IS THIS END-GAME KEEB? Absolutely not and you won't know that until you have spent hundreds of dollars finding the perfect switch/board material/dampening agent/keycap unless you really like spending the money of a billionaire and sending back some gently used keyboard materials.Is this something you would give to a good friend? Maybe if they are a nerd :B , but also still yes. Gateron Reds are the Vanilla Flavor of Cherry MX stylesIs it good value? Absolutely, it will help you start your mechanical keyboard journey for under 100 dollars if you change out switches and keycaps.

The media could not be loaded. Switched out the keycaps and added o-ring dampeners to them. RGB selection is impressive! The keyboard works great, sounds a tiny bit better than the review video, and looks a whole lot cuter.

I had to buy this because I spilled lemon juice on my old keyboard. So far so good, it is working well and looking great. It is perfect for gaming to have more space for a big mousepad.

When paired with a mac, the keys aren't exactly mapped correctly. The letters (which are the most important) work fine as I'm currently using it to type this review. However, the symbols and alternate keys are wonky.For example, on the keyboard it has the ' key but if you click it, the key registered is :Additionally, SHIFT+2 doesn't give you @ it gives you "Just something to be weary about. Other than that, the design is great, it feels a little weight-y but not bad for under $50.
