TOMOKO Water-Resistant 104-Key Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Multi-Color Backlight, Anti-Ghosting Keys, Blue Switch, Fit for Gamers Typists, Black

For months now, I have been looking at different brands of mechanical keyboards, liking plenty but not exactly willing to pay the high price point. The three that I had been eyeballing were the Razer BlackWidow Chroma priced at $140, the Logitech G910 Orion priced at $150, and the Corsair STRAFE priced at $140; each one had their benefits, but all three were too high of a price for me and what I would be using the keyboard for.The reasoning behind that is because I'm not using my keyboard to do gaming, as of yet, I'm using it just as an alternative for my laptop which is mounted on my desk for general typing, like writing reviews on products I buy from Amazon. Maybe those other keyboard are the more superior ones when it comes to gaming, but I can't speak on that as of now. What I can speak on, however, is how astounding this keyboard is while I'm using it to type this review out.After a few days of browsing Amazon's wide selection of mechanical keyboards I settled on three: the AULA Sapphire, the HAVIT HV-KB366L, and this one. Ultimately for me, what it came down to preference wise, was the overall design of the keyboard and more importantly, just how loud the clicking sound of the keys would be. After spending a couple hours on YouTube doing research on all three, one continuously stood out and even had some comparisons to the Razer BlackWidow Chroma, and that was the TOMOKO. Several Razer owners that I had watched praised the BlackWidow for everything it was but each one who included the TOMOKO in their video said that it was a great alternative to the BlackWidow for half the price. And with that, I essentially bought this keyboard on an impulse. BEST IMPULSE BUY EVER!After only using this keyboard for about an hour now doing reviews, I have to say that I love everything about it between the beautiful backlit keys, the overall design and especially the oddly soothing sound and feel of the clicky keys. It comes with a few options of the backlighting and each one works and looks great. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative than the heavy hitters out there on the market, I can't personally speak for either the AULA or HAVIT mechanical keyboards, but I can speak highly of the TOMOKO and just how awesome it is. Now what are you waiting for? Get this keyboard!

The keyboard itself is fine. Looks nice and feels well built. However it does not work with Windows 10. Do not buy if you are using it. I have reinstalled keyboard and Windows even comes up and tells me that device is not working, is not compatible and has been uninstalled. Manual is poorly translated and provides no help. Website is all in chinese and provides no help. Returning for something else.

Pro - keys are highly visible day or night, exactly what I wanted.Con - I do miss the dedicated volume buttons, the Fn=F10/F11 is taking some adjustmentNote - VERY clicky. The sound doesn't bother me and I like the feel, but my partner who has a desk on the other side of the office finds the clicky very annoying.

only some lights works

The keys on this are some of the noisiest I've heard in a long time. It is really cool looking though and I.m sure good quality. I just cant handle the clicking that loud. FYI, I do prefer mechanical keyboards. My old one is soooo much quieter.

I recently took a trip to a retail box store and discovered their section dedicated to gaming keyboards and mice. I had used mechanical keyboards many, many years ago (before membrane keyboards existed), but had forgotten about them. The first resounding click of a Razer mechanical keyboard captured my interest immediately... but the price tag was just too hard to swallow (over $100 for a keyboard... yikes!!!!). I looked on Amazon for quite some time for different manufacturers and decided to give this keyboard a try. I'm happy to say that I have not been disappointed. I love the clicky sound of this keyboard, and the LED backlighting is awesome. There are several different LED modes available, and one mode allows you to customize the keys that are LED backlit. I personally find most of the modes to be a distraction when I'm gaming, so I usually just have the LED's turned on solid. This keyboard is HEAVY and feels well-made. When I first got the keyboard, I couldn't figure out why the LED's stayed on when I powered my computer down. I found that I was plugged into a constant-on USB port. I moved it to another USB port, and that issue has disappeared. There's only a couple minor things that I wish were different- I wish the manual was better and more in-depth, and the wristpad is hard plastic, which is just slightly uncomfortable, but that's not a big issue for me- I don't do a huge amount of typing on this keyboard. I would certainly recommend this product to someone who wants a nice backlit mechanical keyboard without spending $100+ on a big-named brand.

When computer shuts down the lights stay on. If you like a night light in your room when the sun goes down I guess this would be nice.

This thing is fantastic. The keys are great, it responds perfectly with no ghosting(as one would expect of n-key rollover). Very, very responsive. A little loud of a clack(I don't know why people like the clacking noise). Wish it had options to be in either brown or red as I enjoy silence. Plus, you can use one of the several customizations and have it to light up for every key you press, so it wouldn't be hard to trace your presses if you really needed to. Wish it had more color customization and that the green lights on the sides/top could be dimmed or turned off at times. Keyboard is comfortable and ergonomic. The water resistance is nice(I haven't tried to hose my keyboard, but so far so good).Other than that, it performs great and the price is much better than the cherry mx keyboards which gouge people for money on a bloody keyboard. It'll perform as well if not better than one of the pricier keyboards. It also features water resistance, which none of the keyboards even 2x the price have as a feature. I like that it's wired and would definitely buy again.
