The RGB brightness is not adjustable for the preset modes, so it is almost blinding for me personally. The only real bummer I have for this board is that IT DOES NOT COME WITH ANY LLAMA KEYCAP AT ALL. so that was a huge bummer batch one and two came with a llama escape key this one came with a CLOUD and the spacebar is also clouds both are nice and all but I mean, it's a FROZEN LLAMA KEYBOARD and I didn't get a a llama. big sad.

The stabs are amazing out of the box, no rattle, no ping and barely any movement, maybe less than a mm. The Mecha Mini is, as the name perhaps gives away, a very small keyboard. Its 60% size means that it’s even smaller than a tenkeyless board; you won’t even find any arrow keys on this one. That’s great for gaming (unless you’re one of those people who uses the arrow keys to play) as the compact design frees up a lot of desk real estate for you to move your mouse around, but that does make it a bit more difficult to use for productivity. You can still get to the arrow keys (and the function keys and what not) by using a combination of inputs but it’s quite obvious that this form factor isn’t going to be a hit if you desire lots of extra knobs and dials. Overall i do not recommend this keyboard to the people who have a smaller income as it is very expensive, but if you are ready to pay that extra pretty penny for this keeb go for it! The build quality is honestly amazing and cherry mx blues are perfect to annoy your friends with! The RGB, lighting modes and the controls are just amazing. Absolutely breathtaking. I can't stop staring at it.

I personally think that not having software is a massive disadvantage, and I have really grown to hate this keyboard because of it. The aluminum frame is too big for the pcb, plate etc there's a good 4mm gap on the right side of the keyboard and you can see to the bottom of the frame the bottom side has about a 3mm gap the left side and top side are flush with the frame it just bugs me at this price that the pcb, plate and keys are not flush with the sides of the whole frame. looking down at the board you can clearly tell the frame was molded too big and the gaps drive me insane The new, fully aluminium bezel design shares a similar sleek frame as its predecessor. The PBT double-shot seamless keycaps, with German Cherry MX key switches, give durable, exceptional, and reliable performance. We use USB HID with the highest frequency of 1000Hz polling rate, meaning the keyboard is sending its input signal(s) to your PC 1000 times per second. Aside from all the cool cosmetics and usual documentation you will also find a keycap puller. I always appreciate that since that is something that everyone will need down the line when it’s time to clean their keyboard. Build Quality and Features The key caps are nice, but I already replaced it with a pudding set since I am a RGB nut and it just looks stunning.

The RGB lighting, then, looks really, really good. Some keys (mainly the keys with symbols on them) have the tiniest dark spot on them, but I’d rather have great quality keycaps with some very minor dark spots than flawless looking low quality caps. But this obviously isn’t made for those people: it’s for those who want a premium keyboard that’s as compact as possible, and it does a great job at that. The bezels have gotten even thinner with this new case, making it one of the most compact keyboards you can get without going into custom built territories.

The product itself is amazing. I have always loved the Cherry MX Silent Reds so getting them again was a no brainer. They are the only keys that don't wake up my wife and a sleeping baby. The keyboard itself is incredibly solid. I can't stop unplugging it and just holding it in my hands and staring at it. It's beautiful. I love how heavy it is. It's a huge difference from the light and floppy plastic Corsair Strafe v1 I'm switching from. The RGB is more complex to setup since it's all on-board RGB control, but not very difficult once you practice a little bit.

This keyboard is built like a tank. No matter how much force I applied to the housing I couldn’t get it to budge even one millimeter, so you can rest assured that this keyboard will sooner break you than vice versa. I'm sorry to give this such a low rating I wanted to love it but for what I received I truly feel it's only worthy of 3 stars at this price At this point I own 6 different boards with experience in modding them and rebuilds. But you can make your own decisions. The detachable USB Type-C cable provides convenience to users. The Mecha uses USB HID with the highest frequency of 1000Hz polling rate –meaning the keyboard is sending its input signal(s) to your PC 1000 times per second. This feature minimizes any delay between the keys being pressed and the signals being received by your computer.
