KEMOVE K68se 60% Compact RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard with Blue Switches - White Backlit Wired Keyboard for PC, Mac, Typing & Esports Gaming

Still getting used to this K68se 60% keyboard that has no easily accessible home, end, or function keys, and the layout is a bit claustrophobic, but the thing is heavy for its size, feels like it's made out of fairly sturdy plastic, and has some cool lighting options, with various color choices for under the keys as well as the around the bottom of the keyboard frame. Also, it was on sale for fairly cheap, and came with some free keycaps which I probably won't ever use aside from one specific use case -- more on that later.It can be a little tricky to turn off the lighting completely as function backspace only disables the key lighting and not the border lighting, it might not be the best choice if you want to quickly and easily hit a key or switch and turn the lights off when you want to sleep. I suppose you can just pull out the cable on the keyboard side -- that will turn it off. This is not a wireless keyboard, so if the cable goes out, so does the power to it.Typing on it -- mine is using 'blue switch' with audible clicks -- feels quite good. Though, due to the smaller size and the low profile keys, I do suffer quite a bit compared to other larger keyboards that I am used to. Still, it doesn't feel cheap or excessively wobbly, and you are pressed for desk space, this size lets you access a few useful keys (tilde, pgup/pgdown,del) that are located on the side near the arrow keys. You also don't get a row for Function keys -- you'll have to hold Function and hit a number to get access to F5, so get your two finger salute ready if you need to refresh your webpage constantly to reserve your limited edition merchandise or concert tickets. There are some games and applications where this kind of keyboard will work fine and others where it just won't be very good for -- I'm not going to really elaborate because there are plenty of pictures -- so keep that in mind if you're getting one of these as your daily use keyboard.Now this keyboard came with a promo for free XDA keycaps. This did not pan out so well because the set is designed for a layout like the RK61, not this K68se. So some of the keys won't be able to be swapped out. Could be a bit of an oversight, and in addition since you do need to use Fn combinations to do a lot of things like control lighting and get access to additional keys like print screen / home/ end, replacing the stock DSA style flat keys means you'll have to memorize what combos do what if you need to access printscreen, home, end, insert, or what have you. Home and end are two keys that I really do miss having easy access to and I wish they were more intuitively placed (fn+tilde? fn+P? why those two?) but frankly, I mostly picked this up out of curiosity and due to the sale going on. I have another keyboard that I replaced with frankly unreadable pink XDA keys, I might swap out some of those out unless I want to have the blank keyboard experience again.Overall a solidly built curiosity that does its task well and is also very portable, if you're taking a mini pc around or need to cart something small around with you as part of a testing kit or as a laptop keyboard replacement, or just want something with some nice flashy lights and don't need more than WASD to game with that you can also type a report on, or all of the above and have no desk space at all, then I can't see a reason not to recommend this device. Just keep in mind you do lose some convenience for the 60% form factor.Liked:Overall build qualityTyping feelLightingCost (on sale)CompactDisliked:Lack of keysFree keycaps weren't a match :(I'm not sure if I would have given this thing a second look if not for the sale on this keyboard, honestly. Still, I am pleased with it, and would give it a solid recommend, especially with the sale price.
