Keyboard, Beemoon Wired Gaming Keyboard with Three Colors Backlit Supporting Windows 10/ 8 / 7 / Vista / XP, Mac, Linux

I was a little apprehensive about ordering a keyboard from a brand/company I have never heard of, with blue switches that weren't Cherry MX. But I was very tempted by the price and the aesthetics of the keyboard.The keyboard arrived in a well sealed cardboard box. No fancy packaging or anything, but that's okay. The keyboard itself is as gorgeous as the pictures would have you believe. It's clean, white, and the surface is a bit shiny. The keyboard also has a nice hefty weight to it. When you're lifting the keyboard, it definitely does not feel like a cheap keyboard. The USB cable head also has AULA's icon on it and is nicely made. The keys themselves each have a bump on each corner, which is a nice touch. You can also lock the start key which is nice for gaming.Now to the important part: the switches. Keep in mind this is the first mechanical keyboard I've owned, so I will probably miss some differences between the switches and Cherry MX Blues. The only experience I have with Cherry MX Blues is from in store and testing out friend's keyboards. The AULA switches are very clicky and loud and have great feedback. Every key press is satisfying and gives you that feeling that only typing on a mechanical keyboard can give. But some keys sound almost a bit squeaky and I'm not sure if it's because I need to lube them or what. I've heard that stabilizers will need to be lubed once in awhile but some of the squeaky keys aren't even on stabilizers. For me the Ctrl key sounds oddly high pitched and the backspace key sometimes has this springy echo sound. They are minor annoyances that don't affect typing speed or accuracy or anything, but definitely noticeable for me.Overall I think it's a nice keyboard for anyone looking for budget blue switches and a nice clean white look. The keyboard itself doesn't feel like a cheaply made keyboard and the switches are as clicky and clacky as you'd expect blues to be.

I like the feel and clackiness of this keyboard a lot. I've had several expensive Matias keyboards die on me, and decided I wasn't going to invest that much money again. It's very comfortable to type on. I'm using a couple Apple programs to get increased functionality (USB Overdrive and Steermouse). My only objection is that when you want to hold down a key to get multiple strikes of that key (like underscore, hyphen, or backwards delete), there is a slight pause before the auto-key kicks in. But every keyboard requires some adaptation, and at this point, i'm pretty well adapted.UPDATE AFTER TWO YEARS: In a couple weeks, I'll have been using this keyboard for two years. Considering that I went through three different Matthias keyboards--far more expensive--in a matter of six months or so (what a waste of money!), I'm very pleased. One key is starting to cause some problems (occasionally always type the "r" letter when pressed), so I'm looking around for a replacement. But I may well just buy another one of these, since my experience has been so good. I'm a pretty heavy-duty user, as a writer, editor, and (to a lesser extent) graphic designer.

The response on this keyboard emulates what I would expect from the CherryMX blue switches, or at least close enough to my old fingers. Given the pricepoint, I would definitely recommend this keyboard to any of my colleagues, friends, or family -- those that would be looking for a decent, inexpensive tactile ("clicky") keyboard.The only criticism I would have, and it would be relatively minor, is that the font used for the letters is a bit strange. I don't know the name of the font, but it borders on unreadable. This is, of course, for the Wings of Liberty Keyboard. I can't confirm that the font is the same or not on the demon keyboards, which are also lumped under the same item page (natch!).Keep in mind this keyboard is on the smaller side. The keys are certainly large enough for my large hands (I'm 6'5"), but there isn't much space around the keyboard, and the keyboard stands underneath don't add much height when propped out. Also, where you would normally find a wrist rest at the bottom of the keyboard you will find a strangely textured hard plastic rest which is not removable.
