SHURIKEY GEAR 65% Mechanical Keyboard, Gaming Keyboard with Hot Swappable GATERON Red Switch, Triple Mode BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C Ultra-Compact 68 Keys Wired Office Keyboard for Windows Laptop PC Mac

I am in love with this keyboard.The clickiness of the keys are audibly and tactilely extremely satisfying. The RGB is bright and beautiful, with several modes and options. The construction of the keyboard is sturdy and heavy. It feels high end. There are many features, and many options for connectivity. I've tested in in 2.4ghz wireless, bluetooth, and wired modes, and all work flawlessly.The only thing I could find that could even be called an issue, is that the RGB does not seem to work when using wireless modes. Probably for battery conservation.It came with a key puller, some extra keys, and a mousepad with all the keyboard functions listed on the pad.I've used it for gaming and for regular old typing, and it works great both ways. There is even an RGB mode that lights up wasd for you. My only issue is getting used to a 65% keyboard when you are used to full size, but that's on me. This thing gets 5 stars right off the bat. Honestly I am a gaming hardware enthusiast and I had never heard of Shurikey. I will be keeping my eyes on this brand as from what I can tell they make great keyboards.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:-SHURIKEY Keyboard-Keycap/Switch Puller-4 Extra Gateron Red Switches-Instructions-Mousepad With Full Keyboard Combinations Printed On it-USB C CablePRODUCT/THOUGHTS:MODEL: SHT68-The top of the keycaps are a little bit smaller than I prefer in between. Not the keys themselves. This sometimes does result in some typos.-The Gateron red switches are quite smooth. They feel very similar to cherry mx switches in reality. So if you use cherry MX, and you like those, then your experience will probably be very similar.-The color choice is quite nice and reminds me kind of a pastel candy type of palette. There is a total of 17 modes. That includes all the static color choices, plus the various rainbow-style modes you get.-I like that the keycap letters themselves show color and not just backlight as I’ve tested on some other keyboards.-You can use either Wired via USB-C or BT/2.4Ghz, using the adapter. But unfortunately, there is no backlighting option when using wireless mode. I guess I can understand that option for battery reasons, but I’ve tested many wireless KBs that still give you backlighting. So this is one disappointing aspect.-This is a 65% keyboard, (68 Keys) so your layout will be cut down as expected. No 10Key or an extra set of F1 keys for example. I do wish they at least threw a Volume Control Wheel on the top or side though. It’s that one thing, that I ALWAYS want even on the 60/65% KBs.Summary:This is an almost excellent Wired Compact Keyboard. You get one height adjustment in addition to the natural height slope for the KB. the 2.4 Wireless Dongle is held on the KB itself for storage when not in use under a slider cover. And there is an on/off power switch for when you are using one of the wireless modes to save battery. You can also save this KB to 3 different devices via Bluetooth mode. This gives you a lot of flexibility if you have more than one system you use daily. I felt the typing experience was really smooth, and some moderate gaming sessions were also fun and responsive. The travel is listed as 4mm, but honestly, that is one thing that bugged me, the travel felt a LITTLE bit longer than that, which was fine for typing, work..etc but not as good for gaming. However, that’s ALL preference. I Wish they gave you a backlight option when in wireless battery mode as well. Pretty solid 4 stars.

I LOVE this keyboard. The pudding keycaps weren't for me, so I replaced them with some monochrome keycaps. It works in every way that I could ever want. The only thing I could possibly complain about is that the USB-C connection is in the middle instead of offset, but that is pebbles. The switches feel good and easy to press, so it's not heavy or fatiguing on the fingers. The color options cover just about EVERYTHING you could ever want. I really enjoy this keyboard a LOT. Highly recommend.

Let's start with the key caps. The SHURIKEY GEAR keyboard comes equipped with high-quality key caps that feel great under your fingers. The legends are clear and easy to read, and the texture adds to the typing experience. Whether you're typing out a report or engaging in an intense gaming session, the key caps provide a satisfying feel and response.The build quality of this keyboard is another strong point. It feels robust and sturdy, capable of withstanding heavy use without any flex or wobble. This durability is reassuring, especially for gamers who tend to be a bit heavy-handed during intense gaming moments. The keyboard also has a solid weight to it, adding to its premium feel.The design of the SHURIKEY GEAR keyboard is simple and straightforward, with a monochrome color scheme that is versatile and blends well with most setups. However, some users might find the lack of RGB lighting or customizable backlighting to be a downside, especially if they prefer a more flashy aesthetic.One notable aspect to mention is the compact 65% layout, which removes the number pad and function row to save space. While this is great for those who value desk space or prefer a more minimalistic look, it might take some time for users to adjust if they are used to a full-sized keyboard.A potential area for improvement is the compatibility with aftermarket key caps. While the included key caps are of good quality, some users might want to customize their keyboard further with different key cap sets. Ensuring compatibility with a wider range of key caps would enhance the keyboard's appeal to enthusiasts who enjoy customizing their setups.

This is a heck of a keyboard for the price point. Great switches and keycaps. Hot swappable is so nice, especially if you're just getting into this whole keyboard craze. The Gaterons it comes with are some of my favorites for typing and the form factor is wonderful. Feels and sounds great to type on with some nice build in LED effects. Great find, would definitely recommend it to someone looking for something they love typing on. I'm a screenwriter and spend most of my day typing away and dig this keeb!
