Black Shark RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard LED Backlit Wired Keyboard with Red Switches, Fully Programmable, Anti-Ghosting 104 Keys for Desktop PC, Sixgill K2

I don’t use this keyboard for gaming, I use it only for work and everyday use, so I wasn’t looking to spend $100+ on a high-end gaming model. What I wanted was a keyboard with raised, bright backlit keys (I really like that look), plus strong tactile and audio feedback. In short, I wanted something that feels and sounds satisfyingly clicky. I also wanted a keyboard with some weight to it, not something that feels cheap or plasticky. This one checked every box for me. I liked it enough that I ended up buying a second one so I could have one at work and one at home. I’ve been using it daily for about a year now, and so far I haven’t seen any signs of wear and tear.

great keyboard for the price. Usually with the cheap ones they don't last and the keys keep falling out but have not had any of these problems with this one in 4 months of using it as my main keyboard it is quieter than the blue switch ones also

I got sick of constantly wearing out keyboards so finally decided to get a mechanical keyboard. I have had this one for over a year now and it is fantastic. I was worried that it would be too loud, but it is not a lot louder than the other keyboards I have owned, and it is much quieter than other mechanical keyboards I have heard. It is also nice that the keys sit far enough off the base that it is easy to blow dust out from it. The colors are nice, and the keys area really easy to see in the dark. I do a lot of photo editing, which is best in the dark and requires a bunch of funky key combinations that I have to look at the keyboard to do, so this is a nice feature. It also does not take up any more space than necessary given that it is a full sized keyboard with a keypad. It is a small rectangle that just fits the keys, so there is plenty of room on my desktop for a mousepad and full sized graphics tablet. I do not know what makes it a "gaming keyboard" other than having a full sized keypad on the side, which is a must for any keyboard I own regardless of games. When I think of a gaming keyboard I think of having a bunch of extra, programmable keys, which this does not have (They may be programmable, I never bothered to check, but there are no extra.). Regardless of gaming features, this was the perfect keyboard for me, and very affordable.

I was in the market for a new mechanical keyboard and was looking for one similar to the corsair K75. I came across this keyboard for fractions of the price of the K75 and decided to purchase it. After using this for over 2 years, it still works great. Cleaning this is super easy because of the low profile base and elevated keys which can be easily removed. This was the first time looking at this brand but if i decide to purchase another one in the future, i would definitely look towards this brand.

i got the red key version, while you can go and cycle the RGB with a button combo, the software that is supposed to control it all can NOT detect the keyboard and wont actually do anything. the keys feel good, the RGB can be made bright, dim, or even turned off, and the keyboard weighs a couple pounds with a fairly solid frame. the big letdown is the software, if you just want a single color backlit keyboard then this is fine, if you want to set specific keys to specific colors then the software wont help you so your stuck using the button combo stuff over and over and over... this could be a real proper 10./10 BUT without the software support that drops to a 0/10 for the false advertising. and for the record im using the BS-K2 US program off their website and I've tried restarting, updating, unplugging and reconnecting, and reinstalling the program to always get the same "gaming device not found"
