Rantopad MXX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 87 Keys,White Backlit, Cherry MX Switch, Black Aluminum Cover, N-Key Rollover (Brown Switches)

Many might think me crazy since I rated this a 4 out of 5 even though I returned it for being defective. However let me explain:Pros:Very sleekSmall in terms of desk spaceAmazing key responses. My first red switch and will stay with this type from now on. No noticeable "click" feel when you push the keys they go all the way down with very little effort. Great for gaming and typing.Metal/sturdy feel. This thing feels better than my sons $200 razer keyboard in terms of craftsmanshipDetachable braided cord, sleek pouch to store the keyboard and included keypullerCons:No foot rest on these things. I like my keyboards flat but many might not like this.Random failure (see below)My issue: I noticed that about 3 days before it "failed" I was getting mild static type shocks on occasion. I choked it off as possibly my chaining to a new chair; or just new floor mat. Then I suddenly lost functions on about 5 keys: they simply would not work when pressed. The remaining keys, lights all worked perfectly. I simply think I got a bad unit; unlucky. However I have the older model Rantopad that still works perfectly but I shipped it to a friend.

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this keyboard mainly for typing, hence the choice the blue switch.The packaging is in good shape, the keyboard uses cherry mx blue switch and has metal surface as advertised.The backlight pattern is quite impressive as it's pre-configured and usable on both Windows and Linux(Ubuntu 16.04). The keyboard offers varied pattern that can be switched through simple keystroke combinations, and it comes with instructions on setting the backlights.The keyboard uses USB-USB cable. The original cable looks quite sturdy and reasonably long, an overkill for laptop use actually. It also comes with a socket-shaped USB port on the keyboard, mainly to keep the cable connection stable.There is a niche with keyboard feel though. The backspace key feels stickier than similar-sized keys such as ENTER, the reason might be of design or else. Despite that it works good and has the characteristic feel of cherry blue switch so no star is knocked.Overall this is a keyboard I would recommend to my friends interested in buying a mechanical keyboard. It is reasonably portable and offers a good combination of aethestics and affordability.

I've had this keyboard for a couple months so far. I bought it to replace my last work keyboard which died before it was a year old. I wanted to try a mechanical keyboard for durability, but I knew they can be loud... and these are. At least more so than typical membrane keyboards. Personally, I really prefer the quiet keyboards, but there aren't any Cherry keys for that. However, the noise hasn't been a problem so far and no one has complained to HR. :) I love the small form factor and the quality feel of the keyboard overall.

UPDATE: got the my new keyboard and its absolutely amazing! switches are smooth and types well. i love it.Gave it a three star because when I ordered this they sent me the wrong one. I got sent the gateron blues. I got the first one with free same day. But now I have to return the one I got and wait another day for the right keyboard. But from what I got the keyboard was nice. Simple nice lighting effects. The keyboard itself is lighter than most mech boards. I didn't like the feel of the gaterons they didn't feel smooth. The clickyness was there but didn't feel nice when I pressed some keys. The loom and feel of it was nice. The usb cable fit snug. It's standard sizing keys so you can put custom keycaps if you wanted to make it your own. Will do an update when I receive the new keyboard.

Quality is overall okay but don't feel as good as my other red axis mechanical keyboard that I eventually returned it...

Keyboard is solidly built and looks great, but there's a 1-2 second delay when I push the WASD keys during any games. Typing is fine on this keyboard, BTW. I returned it because I wanted it for gaming.

Solid, great price. Wish I could get MX keys with RGB
