- Best keyboard value wise - KN1GHT, 15 May 2018
I recently replaced my Redragon K502 Karura gaming keyboard with this one and while I wasn't too pleased with the K502, I personally have the opposite experience with this one.
While being very cheap for a mechanical keyboard, its got a very sturdy/quality feel to it and while the keys are purposefully noisy(very noisy to some), sounding similar to a type writer, I love that feel and sound so for me it's a big plus.
The performance is equal to most other mechanical keyboards as far as I could find on reviews and the media keys require FN to be pressed.
So this is a bare bones mechanical keyboard, but as many reviewers publish, its built like a tank, as an added bonus the RED LED's look very good and better than a lot of other more expensive RGB keyboards
In conclusion:
If you want a soft silent gaming keyboard then I don't recommend any mechanical keyboard for that matter (just get a good anti-ghosting gaming keyboard)
If you don't like RED and this is a big deal then I'd also think twice, but I'd rather have a great illuminated RED only keyboard over weak illuminated RGB keyboards.
That said for the crazy performance junkies out there like me that are looking for a good low latency high performance keyboard, this keyboard is currently in a league of its own.
Performance wise you will need keyboards close to three times as expensive to stand a change and like I said it's got a great feel and built quality that you don't usually get at this price.
With all that said I own a modded Honda CBR1000RR(2009) super-bike with a Twin-brothers exhaust system(very, very noisy) so take that into account when reading this review.
I like noise when implemented correctly and this gives me the same feeling as rev bombing my bike (XD), I want to get one for office use so that I can irritate my colleagues while enjoying to type, who would have thought a keyboard could make typing fun simply based on feel and sound.
5 star rating from me :-)
Okay that's it from me, hope this actually helps someone out there.

An absolutely great bang for the bucks
The keyboard is a bit loud, keep that in mind.Keys are equivalent to MX cherry Blue switches. I use the keyboard mostly for gaming in games like PUBG etc.
.
Once again great service from Wootware.
