KLIMChroma Gaming Keyboard UK Layout + Slim, Durable, Ergonomic, Quiet, Water Resistant, Silent Keys, USB + Wired Backlit Keyboard for Laptop PC Mac Gamer PS4 keyboard + NEW VERSION + Black

I used my old Gigabyte K7 Stealth until it became so knackered that half the keys don't work, because I really struggled to find an alternative low-profile membrane (non-clicky) keyboard. I hunted high and low for a decent non-mechanical keyboard, and was willing to pay big bucks.Along comes Klim in my Amazon search, and I have never ever heard of them. It looked good in the pictures, but I had doubts about the height of the keys. I really wanted very slim low profile keys. I also wanted a silent keyboard, not a klackety-klack.For the price, I am extremely impressed with the Klim RGB backlit keyboard. When I first received it I still had my doubts but after using it for a week I actually think now that it's awesome and better than my old Gigabyte K7, because I use to catch my fingers on the bottom of those keys, but that doesn't happen with the Klim because the keys are that bit taller. It turns out this key height doesn't bother me and actually I've gotten used to it very quickly and find it much more precise. I can type faster with less errors and its much easier to feel your way through the keys.Really like the backlight, and the fact that the light shines through the letters on the keys. The fact that the colours are fixed doesn't bother me at all - in fact I really like it, it looks awesome. My initial doubts about the feel and quality have gone away and this has really grown on me. I also love the fact that the layout is totally standard and normal for workstation/programmer use. There's no silly function keys to the left or weird custom buttons. I also love that it is a full size keyboard with the proper cursor keys and numpad where they are supposed to be, not one of these shrinking ten-key-less boards. I can foresee numpads becoming extinct, and I will be sad. I'm old school, what can I say.If I had to be critical, there is sometimes a squeak to some keys when typing fast, and it is by no means "silent". The sound is not bad though and it doesn't sound all klacketty-klack like a mechanical keyboard.Given the extinction rate of sensible keyboards, I might buy a few of these to keep in the cupboard until I die.

The space bar and the keys rattle a little, so its not really silent, however press the keys slowly and there wont be any noise. But when do you ever type that slow, never. Aside from that, I've had the Keyboard for 2 years now and spend an hours or 2 a day typing and gaming on average. It works faultlessly, and seems pretty good value for money. The reason why I chose this keyboard in the first place was backlit keys, no bulky handrest so it can travel with me, quiet, and the 5 year warranty. I'm pretty certain this keyboard will go the 5 years. I have noticed the black paint wearing off a little on the spacebar, however, not on any keys. There is a metal semi-mechanical version for a small amount more, and with better lighting options. Which might be the one I would chose now, considering silent keys is not that important to me anymore. For the price, I would say KLIM are very good quality products.

Klim produce some rather nice gear for PC gamers like myself, and I appreciate the fact that they are gamers themselves.The keyboard is very light, and I did wonder regarding the quality and my keyboard has a slight curve in it should you view it from behind along its horizontal line - but it's neither here nor there in terms in affecting performance.I was pleasantly surprised by how responsive the key strokes are, so playing Destiny 2 (both PvP and PvE) was a pleasure as I had better results during times of combat. Even my web browsing seems better.Colour-wise, the RGB is nice - not too bright, not too dull. Would have been nice to have had a +/- control for brightness, but for shy of £20 what do you expect? It does have a rather stubborn on/off switch for the RGB tucked under the furthers right hand corner of the keyboard, but it's a real fiddle to mess with, so I find it easier to leave the RGB on.So, overall, a good, basic no-frills RGB keyboard. Key strokes are not silent - especially the spacebar, which is the loudest key on the board that possesses its own distinctive 'clack', making it sound as if it has zero dampening. The rest of the keys give off a muted clack. I have some blue 'O' rings which I'll add to the spacebar to silence that little bugger. Good as a starter keyboard and as an emergency back-up. Long term is another question.

I bought this keyboard because I wanted a more "old fashioned" mechanical style keyboard and one that has a backlight. There is nothing wrong with the Apple magic keyboards that I have been using for decades, I just wanted something different so thought I would give this a try as the price is at a point where I would not mind too much if it didn't work out for me. The keyboard is fabulous and feels great, but note that the keys are very different from the Apple keyboard and will take some getting used to, I have had the keyboard less than a day and I am making a lot of mistakes, it will take some time to get used to it. Another point of note is that if you come from an apple keyboard you may want to swap the command and options keys in the keyboard setting section on the Mac. I could not work out how to register the warranty on the website as it only has a bit to add your email for the mailing list, I emailed their support and a lovely person called Mariam sorted it all out for me and I promised I would mention her in the review, Thanks Mariam!I can whole recommend this keyboard as it is so far so good despite me needing to take some time to adjust to it.

I've owned a few more expensive keyboards over the years and this one is by far the best keyboard I've owned. It might be personal preference but the feel is perfect for me, not too clicky or too muted but somewhere in between. Amazing value, I've actually owned a few other Klim products and they have all been excellent, don't let the fact it's not a "known" brand put you off!
