Ajazz AK35I V3 Sea Salt Switch Black Grey-Yellow Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Overall as a first mechanical keyboard I really like it, it's price is good for what you're getting and being a hot-swappable full-size makes it standout in this price-bracket. It is all-plastic and lightweight but that's to be expended for the money, if you want something metal and very premium feeling you're looking at around R2000 and above.

The Sea Salt Switches sound pretty good and have very little actuation force needed so if you're something who doesn't want anything tactile or overly clicky then this is a good option. They feel pretty good as well and I don't have any problems with them feeling scratchy or inconsistent either.

I also really love the volume knob and media keys in the top right and they're super handy to have, I honestly don't think I can go back to a keyboard without a volume knob unless I get myself something like a stand-alone mixer.

The main thing I don't like about the keyboard though is that the mounting plate is extremely flimsy and you need to be super careful if you choose to replace your switches as it can flex a lot and result in bending the pins on the switches themselves, this is especially noticeable in the corners and center of the keyboard (they can also be a bit finicky to click into place).

Giving the keyboard a proper clean isn't easy as a result and you'll want to leave the switches in and just remove the keycaps before going around with a brush and air duster.

This is my first mechanical keyboard and I honestly love it. the weight feels fantastic and the typing feels nice and smooth. upon buying it i didn't know that you can customize the lights to respond to each keystroke and i have been having alot of fun with it.


For the price of the Keyboard I'm pretty blown away by the quality and overall very happy with it.

Nice keyboard and works great for the price I paid.
After using an Ajazz keyboard, I will never be able to justify spending more than R1500 on a keyboard ever again.

For the price, this is an excellent keyboard. Despite being plastic and having some twist to it, it feels decently heavy and solidly built. It offers a satisfying, fairly quiet typing experience. It could have used shine-through keycaps, because despite the backlighting they're not legible in the dark. I can see a keycap upgrade in my future. It also could have used labels on the Fn+Fkey key combos. These are minor niggles in a keyboard I'm otherwise very happy with. As budget keyboards go, it's great.

I was quite blown away by this purchase. I have bought some budget keyboards in the past and they are usually tacky, light, and the keys don't last.

These sea-salt switches are the exact soft, responsive linear switches that I wanted. The dampening definitely ensures that there is no ringing from the keys as you may find on other budget keyboards. The sound and texture of the keys are extremely satisfying! Also, the keyboard is heavy, sturdy, does not move at all when you accidentally nudge it. Volume knob works great. Overall I don't think i will go for a different type of keyboard again. Why spend R3500 on a keyboard, perhaps have good results, but get a similar product when you spend a fraction of the price. Anyone that is into Coding, or gaming, or just typing in general, this KB is perfect. Trust.

This keyboard is my first switch to mechanical keyboards. I was always hesitant to have loud keys even being a solo employee, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the linear switches here. It's a quiet typing experience and the keys are much lighter to actuate than you'd expect.

The build quality is great with everything feeling solidly put together. The two step adjustable feet are a nice addition, but the keyboard is already pretty tall, so can't imagine using it at its highest adjustment.

One thing that would have been great is if the keycaps had a shine-through legend. The backlighting is a bit unnecessary without that although it does look pretty nice.
