MK32 82-Key Hot Swappable Wired Mechanical Keyboard with Transparent Keycaps, RGB Backlit Custom Gaming Keyboard with Coiled Usb C Cable & Cloud Keyboard Wrist Rest, Rotary Knob for Windows/Mac

This keyboard is all about the RGB lighting and it looks the part. However, the typing experience and general feel of the keyboard is average. The case is surprisingly creaky and I can only assume that's due to the type of plastic and assembly method used. The keycaps are slick feeling and while still functional, just don't feel terribly nice. The switches are also average in typing feel and sound. And beyond the plate foam, there is no other case dampening material to be had.The worst aspect about this keyboard is that outside of the looks department, everything is decidedly average at best. The problem with that is that at the current price there are similar appearing boards that are cheaper or similarly priced boards that are better performers. The MK32 isn't a bad keyboard per se, but it isn't a great value either.Oh, and the inclusion of a wrist rest seems like an afterthought as it was just placed on top of the keyboard wrapped in a form fitting bubble mailer. This caused the top of the box to noticeably bulge. It looked uncomfortable.

Unfortunately I had to exchange the first one because the r key didn't work all the time. The replacement works great though and I absolutely love that it's see-through!I didn't get this for a specific purpose other than the aesthetics. I already have keyboards I love to use for typing and keyboards I love for gaming so this keyboard is purely for when I want to type with something fun.The keys work and the keyboard is much heavier than I thought it would be. The cloud palm rest is a neat and cute addition to this keyboard and helps keep my wrists supported while typing. It gets dirty fast though because it's white and I have a black cat (but also another cat and two dogs) but it's easy to wipe clean. As you can see in the product photos the wrist rest is bumpy so you might need to move it one way or the other for the perfect palm rest position.Overall happy with this purchase and might purchase again if I needed just a fun, colorful keyboard again.

It was great because most mechanical keyboard combos like this one are 100s of dollars and came with everything you need. I recommend this definitely

While it is nice to see a complete kit that has everything for a good looking setup, its got a fair bit of jank to deal with.Firstly, lets start with the keyboard.While it looks really nice, the fully transparent case and double sided LEDs on the PCB look super nice, this has some massive drawbacks for the typing sound of the keyboard.Typing on this sounds like you're banging a bunch of empty plastic boxes together, since that's more or less what you are doing. It sounds very hollow out of the box, and the noise it makes is substantial.The switches seem to be a custom job by Philikey, I cannot find any switch that looks like this one.The housing is completely translucent which does match the look well. However the consistency from switch to switch isn't the best. They feel like a halfway point between linear reds and silvers. Very quick to activate, but not the smoothest actuation. I decided to try lubing them, I also added switch pads to see if it would help the noise. It did a tiny amount.Once lubed the switches do feel nice and smooth, so factory lubing would absolutely help.As far as type feel, its ok. I would give it a solid B. The keycaps are smooth, and to note the font used on the actual keycaps looks nothing like what is in the product photos. So don't depend on that if you are looking for an example. The actual font is a more blocky bold typeface. With a glossy plastic finish they are a bit more slippy slidey than some may like, I do not mind it at all. Though the variance in the print on the keys do make the keyboard look cheap. If you love the idea of this keyboard, maybe get some better looking translucent caps.So far I would give the build, fit and finish of the keyboard overall a B-/C+.The sound profile is not ideal, but with what the keyboard is supposed to look like I don't see it being possible to change that much. This is more of a visual showpiece, but with very odd looking fonts on the caps.The biggest issue I had is that one of the pins on the switch for the N key was bent. Easy enough to fix, but QA might also be a concern.Now on to the accessories.The coiled cable is fine, to keep its shape it comes shipped on a bar, which is great. The coil keeps its shape and is a bit more flexible than some of the other coiled sleeved cables. All in all it's one of the nicer looking ones and the clear plastic does match the keyboard. However, I do wish the mid cable connector was silver instead of gold to match the knob. Or that the knob was gold. Match colors please.The cloud wrist rest is... well it's a wrist rest. It is bumpy, pretty soft. But has the downside of wanting to fuse with your wrist. I personally did not like it.All in all, this is a pretty decent set.It's trying to do something unique, and out of the box it is not the best. But with a bit of love and effort you could make this a very nice keyboard. If you figure out how to make the spacebar not sound like you're tapping on an empty tupperware tub though, please do let me know.Overall, this is a good, above average board. It's getting a B from me, if you like how it looks and want a new project go for it. It will be joining my pantheon of keyboards on display.

The media could not be loaded.  This keyboard comes with a coiled cable and wrist rest for a great price. I have been wanting a transparent keyboard and couldn’t resist this bundle.

High quality, sounds beautiful and is really pretty to look at!

The media could not be loaded.  I really like this keyboard and have been using it for a while now. It reminds me of the heavy old mechanical IBM keyboards from years ago - you only will understand this if you are a bit older - the ones that clicked and clacked happily away and would probably last for 25 years of continuous use.There are all sorts of shortcuts built in along with options to change the effects, etc.It does take some getting used to in terms of key layout compared to a standard modern day keyboard but not having a numeric keypad on a keyboard is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.They keyboard itself is solid and very well built. I weighed just the bare keyboard and it came in at over 2 pounds. The rubber feet on the bottom keep it firmly planted.There is the option to remove the top plate - I've shown pictures with and without it. I like it a bit better with it removed personally.The volume button on the upper right is a nice feature- it's easy to adjust the volume up or down or mute/unmute with a press of the knob.Now the bad about the keyboard:- the size of the typing in the manual is so small - I'm using a magnifying glass to read it. I guess that proves I'm old.- I'm a crappy typist - I need to see the key caps to type at times so sometimes I need to turn off the light show to see the keys. I find game light mode (Fn + g) works well for me.- some people don't like the noise of a mechanical keyboard. Myself, I love it. My wife who now shares ,my office with me hates it.

At the price, this keyboard is among the best you can get. The good points greatly outweight the bad pints, and it is a great affordable option for a new project, as it's excellent as it is, and offers great customizability.Starting with visuals, the keyboard looks gorgeous, the dark-transparent keycaps look as if they’re made out of jelly when the RGB is on. The bottom RGB looks alright, but it can be turned off if one does not like it. The RGB controls are independent for the keys and the bottom, which is great. The frame detaches, as advertised, to give the keyboard a different look, although detaching it is difficult. I like the golden colour of the connectors in the included cable. When the RGB is off, the frame does not look transparent, which leaves more options to the overall look of the keyboard.The build quality feels good. The frame has to be plastic due to the bottom RGB, so the structural rigidity is provided by the metal plate instead. Despite the material of the plate, the key strokes don’t leave a metallic sound like other keyboards of the same or lower price points. This is likely thanks to the foam layer between the plate and the PCB. This foam does help to dampen the sound of the keystrokes, as advertised, but the keyboard still sounds slightly hollow. A second dampening layer below the PCB would’ve helped, but I understand that this layer is missing due to the bottom RGB. However, it is not too difficult to add the layer yourself.The stabilizers are very good, as the long keys have a very consistent press. The switches are linear and don’t need a lot of force to be pressed down. The pcb is indeed hot-swappable, so the keyboard is very customizable. The knob works perfectly with a mac computer, although in mac pressing it down mutes the computer instead of it being a play/pause button. The only real problem I have in this regard is the keycap feel. The keycaps have to be glossy to have the jelly look in them when the RGB is on, so they feel slippery and are fingerprint magnets. The keyboard includes a very good keycap puller, so changing the keycaps is a breeze.I see older reviews mentioning that there’re quality control issues with this product. In my case, the keyboard arrived flawless, so I don’t know if I got lucky or if the brand has better QC now. However, I did not like that the keyboard arrived in a completely unsealed box (first picture), and not even inside another box to conceal the contents of the parcel. Also, the product name claims that the keyboard is gasket mounted, but in reality it is tray mounted. The product is excellent as is, so I don’t understand why claim something that is not.
