ACGAM P08 Hard RGB Gaming Mouse Pad Lighting USB 2.0 Mouse Mat,14x10x0.2 in - Black

 I was originally planning on buying this as a gift for a friend, but I loved it so much that I ended up keeping it for myself. (I'm a terrible friend. I know)The keyboard is significantly smaller than even a typical TKL keyboard, but it doesn't feel cramped to type on at all.To be honest, I didn't care a ton about backlighting when I bought this, but when I read the reviews, I expected the lights to be very dim.After receiving the keyboard, I found that the lighting were not as dim as I had anticipated and actually seemed fairly bright to me. The keyboard does allow you to make the LED's even brighter, but at its default setting, I was still able to see the backlighting fine in the daytime. This board also has various different lighting animations, which are a bit fun to look at if you don't want just plain back lighting.The original caps felt fine to me, but I had some spare white caps that I figured I'd throw on for fun. The original caps are actually glossy on the sides and matte on top, which I thought was pretty different from the typical keycaps that most keyboards seem to come with. I thought that the gloss looked nice, but I also felt that it was a bit prone to scratching if you use the keycap puller with them. I will say though that there was a bit of keycap wobble with this board, but it wasn't enough to bother me a ton. I think when I put my white caps on was when I really fell in love with this keyboard as I feel it looks amazing with white caps. The lights shine even brighter with different caps!My other concern with a 60% board was getting confused with keybindings as the arrow keys and the delete button are tied to function + another button. But to my surprise, I actually quickly adapted to this; It didn't feel too unnatural to use the default mapped arrow keys or the delete button.In regards to the feel of the switches, they are very clicky and are fun to type on. Blues are notoriously loud, and Outemu blues are even louder than Cherry blues (in my opinion) so this isn't something you'd want in a quiet environment. But if noise isn't an issue, these switches are very fun to type on in my opinion. It is very satisfying to get both audible and tactile feedback when typing.I was curious to see if the board was hot swappable (DIY switch replaceable), so I took the liberty of disassembling the keyboard. I will confirm that this keyboard is NOT hot swappable, and that the switches are all soldered in. Not a huge deal, but just something to know. I personally don't mind this at all as some hot swap boards I've worked with are actually a pain to remove the switches on (either I get a mediocre switch puller, or the switch is really stuck in the socket and I end up breaking the top housing during the process).Now the removable USB C cable... I absolutely love this feature. I didn't realize I would like this as much as I do; It is very convenient when you have a phone using usb c as you can use this cable or your phone's cable with this keyboard. I like that I can share my USB type c cable with both this keyboard and my phone.In general, I am very happy with this keyboard and would definitely recommend purchasing one if you want a portable, fun to type on keyboard and don't need a numpad. The backlight shines bright, and can be even brighter with different keycaps. And the format isn't difficult to use at all, and feels natural. The build quality doesn't feel cheap or flimsy, and has some weight to it. And the board in general just feels nice to type on.

 I got my P08 today and I'm loving it so far. I’m upgrading to the P08 from the older model, the P09, and I really like all the improvements that have been made.What I like about it:- Super smooth. My mouse glides very easily with little friction, which allows me to be very precise. This is great for games that benefit from precise mouse movements (FPS games, MOBAs, etc.)- Beautiful RGB lighting. The colors are vibrant and bright (you can adjust the brightness), and there are multiple color and lighting settings to fit your mood or match the rest of your setup.- Removable cable. I really like this new feature. It makes it easy to unplug the pad and move it around as you need to. This also allows you to use your own cables should you choose to, like custom sleeved cables.- Non slip rubber bottom. Another new feature, helps keep the mat in place better.- Physical buttons. The older model just had a fingerprint button that was easy to accidentally press sometimes, having physical buttons that click on this one makes it easier to control your settings without changing them with accidental presses.- Affordable. One of the best parts, the P08 is much cheaper than comparable mousepads from bigger brands. It’s great if you want a nice RGB mousepad on a budget.All in all I like the P08 a lot, I loved the old model too but this one’s just better in every way.

This is an awesome beginner minimalist mechanical keyboard. I'm already getting the hang of the fn keys for the arrows and such, and its way worth it for the minimalist. Driver CD came with it, but it already works great out of the box.Pros-Plug and Play with OSX - no drivers, just a few clicks in Settings to get things smoothThe fn key is well situated anchor it with the pinky and reach the arrow, page up and down, home and end functions easily. I'll be able to do it without looking soon.Function keys + icon key works out of the box - volume mute, backlight mode and brightness, home, end, page up /down, etc.Quieter than I expected for fake bluesFootprint is ideal for small workspaceBright backlight with lots of fun options.Light keystroke weight.Cons-Keycap fonts are exactly as pictured, too 80's Terminator tech looking. I'll keep them but they are a bummer. Can't knock off a star because they are also replaceable.Need to find out how to get FN+end/home to go to end of line rather than tops or bottoms of pages.Too loud for non-tech work space.I'm trying to find reasons to type more because I'm having fun with this keyboard. I hope it and the backlight last at least 5 years.The only thing that would knock it would be if it fails.********edit 6 months later*******Tried a few key caps sets and love it even more. The outemu clones were problem free installing and removing the keycaps multiple times.

The quality of the price is surprisingly good. The typing on this is pretty satisfying, and for the price, I am happy to have this around. I wanted a small keyboard that I can take with me, and something that doesn't use batteries to worry about going out after owning it for a long time. I had some with poor bluetooth performances, or would just go crazy on me and had to reset often. And I don't need to worry about the battery draining from storing my keyboard in my bag.My main issue is that the keyboard doesn't seem to work with a USB C to C cable. I would have to use a USB C to A then pop on an adapter to the A end to convert to C which then worked fine. I don't think this is a defect but how the usb was designed. Not a huge issue since I will have an adapter with me anyways. I do like that the C will help me not struggle with plugging the device in carelessly. And should give me long durability life.
