MageGee Portable 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, MK-Box LED Backlit Compact 68 Keys Mini Wired Office Keyboard with Blue Switch for Windows Laptop PC Mac - Grey/Black

So this is a cheap keyboard, my expectations were not high. It comes with a keycap puller which is nice. The caps come off pretty easy, they include extra caps of different color so I was able to swap them out to match the image. I really like the color combos. Aesthetically speaking it looks sharp. For such a cheap keyboard, the backlights are nice, however, the different color keycaps mute the backlight depending on the color of the caps. Some allow more/less light to shine through. Typing experience is "ok" they are mechanical but the switches are not hot swappable. The action is not bad, but I'm not a huge fan either. I wanted to take the keyboard apart to see if I could play with the insulation and damping but it seems like the screws holding it together are all under the key caps so you'd have to remove a bunch of them to get it apart which I'm just not terribly inclined to do it. The sound is a bit hollow, "thocky" or "creamy" this is not. However, it's mechanical, I can type very fast, overall I like the feel and for the money? I mean... It came with a decent cord, it types, and it does keyboard things. You really can't complain. Now having said all that this is a 65% I think? I am going to use it in a very small space so size is great, I love it, but... I miss a legit F-row of keys. I don't care for this layout. I will get a larger keyboard next time. This is a budget keyboard, switches are not hot swappable, it has decent heft, 2 levels of rear risers, for the cost, really, it's a decent option if you like this size/format of keyboard. It's really small.***Recently I saw a question from someone who bought this keyboard, asking about alt+0224 type key combos*** Since I wasn't with the keyboard I couldn't answer but now I can't find the email. I suspect that because the top row of keys is combined with the F-keys that in order to make the ascii type combos you will need alt+FN+0224 or whatever the 4 digit combo is that you're after. See if that works. Since the user didn't post which one he was trying to create I couldn't try it myself but I suspect this will get you there.

this keyboard does not sound the best but it is really good its really light and its nice it has a fast response time and it has a nice design with the red keycaps the keyboard is easy use to use f12 just click fn

I got the Grey/Blue switches version.First off, it's loud. Not just the clicks, but there's a bit of spring sound and rattle as you roll.That doesn't change my review title at all.There are 18 or 19 lighting modes with some of them being reactive to what keys you press. Super fun.The key action is good, but not great. i might have been better served with the red switches... idk, i'm kinda new to the new mechanical switches thing, but i'm typing this review with it right now.It's a bit heavy for a 'portable' device, but that's good for me given the longish travel of the keys and being a bit of a percussive typist. One thing i've noticed is if you use ctrl and the arrow keys to move your cursor around, you can use the arrow keys without them actually clicking (you can press the key multiple times without 'clicking', but you do still get the springy rattly sounds.)I want to rank this higher than 4 stars on the lighting alone, but as a keyboard, it's just not quite there on the typing part. I can confirm that while playing games with friends in discord that they will most likely be able to hear you hitting keys, and that it doesn't suffer from any ghosting i could detect (looking at you super meat boy on epic).In short, my thoughts can be summarized as, 'For $30, it's totally worth it if you're curious. Maybe choose the reds over the blues, but i got this one because i liked the color scheme better. The lighting is excellent and really fun.'

I wanted a keyboard for travel with a pad. I'm super-fussy about keyboards because I write for a living. I wanted the smallest possible keyboard with a mechanical touch. (I really hate laptop-style keyboards with no "feel".) This is it. The keys are full size, so don't be confused by the "60% size" product description--that just refers to the overall footprint. The space-saving design omits F1 through F12 keys but you can get them by pressing the Fn key with keys 1 through 0 , -, and =. The tab, caps lock, shift keys, and enter keys are normally sized; there is no compromise there. The enter, backslash, and backspace keys are also full size. The cursor keys are well placed. The one compromise is they omitted Home and End keys, but PgUp, PgDn, Ins, and Del are all there.Backlight is activated by pressing Fn with cursor-up or cursor-down. There are four levels of brightness (plus you can switch it off), and you can also activate some entertaining lighting effects which I found unnecessary.My one complaint is that the keyboard is a little bit heavy for traveling. But the size is perfect and the key touch is just perfect.This keyboard has received some negative views which I find confusing. A couple reviewers complain that the keyboard has an auto-off feature, but mine doesn't have that; it stays on. A reviewer complained about poor manufacturing finish, but the finish on my keyboard here is excellent.I hardly ever give 5 stars to anything, but this keyboard deserves it.

I’m not a keyboard enthusiast. I just wanted one that wasn’t full size. I wanted it to be a bit clickier and not just a crappy computer lab keyboard. It delivers that and at a great price. Colors look great, lighting is great. The feel and location of the keys took me a second to get used to but now I’m totally fine. It took about 3 days to adjust to this coming from my MacBook keyboard. I’ll warn you, it is in fact a clicky keyboard. You could annoy someone who is in your area. That said it’s also not the loudest clicky keyboard I’ve heard. It’s fine in a room but I wouldn’t take it to a library.
