Basaltech Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with LED Backlit, 104-Key Black Vintage Typewriter-Style Keyboard, Retro Steampunk QWERTY Keyboard Wired USB Metal Panel and Round Keycaps Anti-Ghosting (KB-104)

I don't usually write reviews but this keyboard makes me feel like it deserves so much better review and the quality of this keyboard is beyond my expectation! I'm VERY glad I chose this keyboard because of the price as well as the quality of the built. It looks very stylish and function perfectly for both gaming and office use which is what I intended in the beginning, I've had this keyboard for almost a month now and it performs like a dream! If you're picking out a gaming/office keyboard, I would highly recommend this one because of the value this keyboard brings, the keys feel like it's a very expensive keyboard and I've gotten multiple compliments from my friends about how great this keyboard is on both function and form!! VERY NICE KEYBOARD!!!

Just got mine, and I love it already. Drivers were easily detected, it's SUPER CLICKY and nice, the keys are elevated so it's super easy to clean, the main keyboard is metal (BIG PLUS) and it's for a decent price. It's truly backlit, you can see the lights through the keys, and it feels SO NICE to run your hand over. 5 stars!

This keyboard looks great. The keys are mechanical feeling. They do type a little slower than a typical keyboard, mainly because of the travel of each key. It's a pretty keyboard. It does have a thin metallic plate at the base. However, the real negative for me is that 1) the lighting doesn't go thru the key, so you can't see the numbers or letters when it's dark. The lighting is just for effect. It does enhance the beauty of the keyboard but it's not functional. 2) you are stuck with multi color lighting. You can't use just one color. 3) Value, or, the lack of it. I think this keyboard would be okay at $45 dollars. At $79, it really needs lighting thru the keys. If you can't use it in the dark, the lighting is of limited use. Although, there may not be many mechanical keyboard options at this price point, there are many keyboard options at this price. I'm on the fence about whether to keep it or return it. For me, it's not the price. It's the lack of functionality. I am seriously considering the AZIO retro classic artisan keyboard instead. It's $189 but appears to have far more functionality. Maybe the problem is that I'm not a gamer. I do spend 12 to 13hrs a day in front a computer. And, for that reason alone, good looks and lighting effects are not enough.

This keyboard is amazing! I do not regret buying it whatsoever. It looks the same as it does in the photos. The keys are easily pushed and it creates a clickity mechanical sound (just the way I like it). I tested the durability of the keyboard and it seems pretty legit, as the keys didn't fall off. If I had a chance, I will definitely purchase again! During the process of purchasing this keyboard, I was going through the reviews and I read some bad reviews about it. However, I decided to disregard those reviews since they seemed bogus. I took a chance, purchased the keyboard and I'm glad I did. All I can say to the other buyers is, test the keyboard out yourself, trust your instincts, and don't contemplate about others foolish reviews until you see the product for yourself.

Come on. I can not contain the full disappointment I have for this product in this short review. I had to order this keyboard TWO times- and both times came a broken/damaged one. I highly doubt it is even a shipping problem! If you look at the photos of the SECOND keyboard I posted, you can see the metal back-frame has been bent seriously and the ENTER key is worn out. Seriously, worn out. Not from use, but I only had "....R" from the start. How can a key decal wear out from shipping? (Of course the keyboard also ships poorly protected by only one layer of plastic vinyl) The first one I got was worse- I wish I had taken photos of it. The metal frame was of course bent and lifted from the plastic frame, and some part of the plastic frame was even missing: yes, you heard it right, missing. The down left corner frame was completely damaged and there was a huge hole in the plastic. I ordered it again and returned the first one because I liked how it looked despite the quality problem. I believed that I just got a defective one (which can happen sometimes), and that I was just unlucky. I thought if I ordered a new one, I would get the beautiful keyboard I was hoping for without the damages of the first one, so I took the trouble of returning the first one and re-purchasing another one. Well, I was wrong. After two consecutive keyboards came with a bent metal plate and some other problem, I figured that the manufacturer has a serious QC problem. I believe this is more serious when you take into account that this is a $80 keyboard. Anyone who buys a $80 keyboard could have cheapen out and went for a $10 keyboard that will do 99% of the function or a $40 keyboard that will feel the same. However, they got a $80 one because they wanted to have a beautiful piece of equipment sitting on their desk. When two of two times you get a broken piece of keyboard for wanting that little novelty, first you get mad, and then you realize that the manufacturer is seriously not doing a good job. Will I return the second one? No. My time is too precious for going through the hassle again and looking for another keyboard just because of a manufacturer who can't do their job. (And if I was to replace this one with the same keyboard, I doubt that I will get a properly manufactured one again after my two experiences) However, my time is not precious enough to not write this review to warn other potential buyers. BUYERS BEWARE - what you will get in return for spending $80 to have a nice looking keyboard will be a broken piece of equipment. Worse - it looks good without the damage, so you will order a second one hoping for a well-manufactured one only to get the same shabby one. By that time(the keyboard has ridiculous free shipping time! x 2 times), you will be too worn out and mad to even return the second one. Don't buy this item. DON'T BUY THIS ITEM. Dear manufacturer, if you even care about your customers you should not get mad at me for writing this review; you should feel very sorry for wasting my time and sending out a broken item every time. + (Edit) How do these keyboards even pass factory inspection? Does the manufacturer think it is okay to sell those keyboards (A keyboard with a worn out Enter key from the factory!) to customers and that they will get away with it? It is even more insulting the more you think about it. Almost a year later, they still have not said an apology or tried to make up for their failed product.

To be clear, the physical layout and design of this keyboard is AWESOME. The major negative is the lighting for the keyboard. FIRST, the keyboard cannot statically be set to a single color. The color is rainbow and whatever effect the lighting is set to it is going to appear as rainbow colors. Second, the only way to change/affect any of the lighting is with pre-set keyboard shortcuts. There is no software for this of any kind and the ONLY place I was able to even find those keyboard shortcuts was in the description of this amazon page. Physically the keyboard is great. Visually the lighting effects are annoying to use and out-dated.

I absolutely LOVE this keyboard. Such great quality for the price. I love the buttons, lights, style, sound etc. 10/10 recommend. HOWEVER this keyboard is apparently the best way to get your husband to hate you. He makes me close my office door...its apparently too loud. So...be warned...if you get this keyboard...it will cause fights with whoever's you live with 🤷‍♀️ worth it...

I have wanted a "mechanical" keyboard for a while. While I wasn't interested in getting a wired version (I was looking for an affordable Bluetooth model), I went ahead and took a chance on this one. It was delivered as promised. Word of warning, the keyboard comes in a box with an image that looks NOTHING like the keyboard inside. I was worried for a few minutes that it was the wrong keyboard. When I opened the box, I saw that it was what I ordered. It is responsive, more so that my old wireless keyboard, which sometimes didn't register that I was typing for several seconds. It does have a clack like a typewriter. Some people will find that annoying. I work at home, so having the sound that I am typing is a plus for me. Maybe it will be a warning to my kids that I AM WORKING before they come busting in here and disturbing my train of thought. The pros: It seems to be a sturdy, solid keyboard. I like the shape and sound of the keys as you type. The wrist rest is nice since it is much thicker than my old keyboard. I tried it with and without the rest and decided to attach it to the keyboard and leave it. Cons: I don't get the multi-color lights. It's a neat feature I could have done without. Maybe if I wrote in a dark room, I would appreciate them better. But since I prefer a well-lit room whine I write, I don't need them. If anything, I wish there was a way to make them all the same color. Each row a different color is a bit obnoxious to me. It's a personal preference thing. You might like it. I'm not a fan.
