Thank you so much for this informative review. I will purchase one this week.

[@user-je9xl5yy7g]

Thank you. Amazon says it’s not available yet.

[@colinkilday]

Yeah I had to purchase it through their website directly

My budget is 200$ Do you recommend any good keyboards that are colored beige or milk tea. I want a good RGB system which has a few lighting patterns and yellow backlights. Blue switches would also be great. And a very high quality one. What keyboard would you recommend?

[@user-je9xl5yy7g]

What is the model number? I can’t find it anywhere?

Is it still working and what problems did you face? Thinking about buying it, but I'm not from the USA, so will pay a lot, want to be sure that it's good enough long term)

[@colinkilday]

I'm still using it now, I really like the quality of it but I'd argue it's more of a novelty keyboard as other keyboards are more functional which is probably more to do with the fact they keycaps are rounded.

[@Lord-of-Evils]

Thank you, does it work on PlayStation 5?

[@Lord-of-Evils]

I can confirm for anyone who is interested that it does work. I bought one and it works with bluetooth. Didn’t test wired, but I assume it does as well.

[@swagdoggo2565]

How many lighting patterns are there?

[@colinkilday]

There are no lighting patterns as such, you can only adjust the backlighting level with the function button and the arrow keys. Essentially you only have the option of backlighting on, backlighting off, or dimming the backlighting.

Can I change the switches?

[@colinkilday]

Unfortunately the switches aren’t swappable

[@m.noumantariq9868]

Price of keyboard is?

[@colinkilday]

It’s currently £199 but if your ordering it from outside of America you will have to pay a customers charge on delivery so it is a bit more expensive!

[@akirakurosawa5215]

Not worth it. Too expensive and shipping is a joke. Much cheaper shipping methods with tracking available. The keyboard although looks good, is know where near to price range set. Azio has let the design go to it's head. Dying fad in the making.

[@colinkilday]

I do agree to an extent that it’s a novelty keyboard and it is overpriced but at the same time it is fun to use even if it is ridiculously loud

[@akirakurosawa5215]

@@colinkildayI paid $120 post for a $230 keyboard ? When the order was placed the shipping was $60 then I get hit with another $60 because the cheap-ass software the Azio site uses didn't calculate the correct shipping at checkout, by then it's too far gone to cancel because you would have to wait another month for the credit card to be reversed to be reimbursed. The original $60 get the keyboard 3 hrs from its destination then another $60 to go 3 hrs to finalize the delivery. This is an Azio mistake for not calculating the correct shipping. For a keyboard that expensive you'd think they could afford a decent website.
