Customer Reviews
-excellent feeling keys
-feels solid and heavy
-high quality key caps
- lighting is very customisable via driver software
Doesn’t have a volume knob, however you can do this as an alternative:
it comes with volume key caps that you can swap other key caps for and you can remap those keys to change the volume with the software from FL esports website. Note that their driver download page seems to be an unsecured webpage right now. Make sure you download the correct drivers or it won’t detect your keyboard (they have drivers for wired and wireless keyboards).
Hope this is helpful.
I'm generally not a fan of large keyboards with num pads, but this keyboard is an exception. It's a wee bit smaller than your traditional full size keyboard. The right shift is made smaller, and the arrow keys are tucked under it. And it has just enough for all your needs.
This keyboard sounds pretty good for a pre-build. It's very solid so there's not too much echo and doesn't sound hollow. The clackiness of the Kaihl white switches not super loud and quieter than blue switch keyboards I've used before, but might not be great if you have other people around.
The keycaps are very nice. The lettering on them are crisp, and the black/white/powder pink scheme is great. It gives it a little flair but still looks elegant. They aren't shiny and have a matte finish. They are thick so the LEDs don't shine through the key caps.
Its both great on its own and a great starting keyboard if you want to get into modding/building.
Fantastic sound and feel when typing and smooth keys. Stabilizers are surprisingly good with no ticking.
I really like this keyboard, the weight is just right for me, and the bottom pad can be fixed on the desktop very well without sliding easily, the switch is good to use, and it sounds very comfortable. The keycaps are PBT and they're comfy af. If you haven't used PBT caps before, do yourself a service and get you some. It's a night and day difference between these and ABS caps that just end up getting slick feeling like regular rubber dome keyboards that have been used far too long.
