Lindon-Tech Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard with RGB Backlit, Crystal Mechanical Keyboard, Retro Vintage Typewriter Style Keycaps

A Programmer's ReviewTL;DR = It provides all that it promises. And it just looks so darn pretty. Buy it!To start, I'm a programmer. I work everyday writing emails and coding. They say, invest in what you do the most, and in this case, I like having a good typing experience.I'm used to bringing my keyboard on the go, between traveling, working, and typing at home, I'm already used to taking my keyboard typing experience with me. That's where this keyboard hits all the right marks.Full disclosure, I've used LinDon-Tech keyboards before. But that's been a good thing. Their previous keyboard lasted me for months and still works for me now. However, this is a nice upgrade, as you'll see.--THE BASICS--This is a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard. This means that it's wireless, and should provide a good typing experience. In which case, it hits all the good marks.The Bluetooth pairing was easy to do and was even more easy to unpair and repair with another device. 3 seconds of pushing two keys together, and you're ready for pairing to another one.The battery life has been great, and can easily last me a couple of days. What I like is that I can continue to charge the keyboard by plugging it into my laptop or desktop via the provided USB cable.The mechanical keys are the familiar "clicky" kind that you can get. If I'm not mistaken, they're Outemu blues and are quite satisfying to use.--FUNCTIONALITY--All the keys work. They all have even travel, and the extra rounded keys provide a unique experience that you don't get with your regular style keyboards. The edges of the keys are more pronounced, and it reduces my own typing errors. But where this keyboard shines is the effort placed in the shortcut keys that are provided.When I was using the keyboard with my Windows 10 work machine, the shortcuts work just as described. I can control screen brightness, control media playback, and volume, and the home key works exactly as a keyboard for windows should work.Alternatively, when I used the keyboard with my Samsung S9, I was pleasantly surprised that the keys continued to be just as intuitive with the Android operating system. The "Windows" key even would launch "Ok, Google" for me, so I could do voice commands without my hands needing to leave the keyboard.--THE EXTRAS--Let's start with the body. It's an acrylic body, this means two things. It's clear, and it's heavy. But this isn't a bad thing. As a full keyboard with a '10-key' pad, this keyboard feels very solid and well built. The body has no give, and when you place it on a surface, it doesnt move. Also, it's GREAT to look at. It's clean.There are a plethora of light options and patterns you can choose from. And combined with the clear body design, the lighting effects are awesomely bright and noticeable. It's refreshing to see a keyboard that is both functional and great to just have on display.--FINAL THOUGHTS--It's solidly built, and it's lasted me all day with the heavy typing I do for work.My only suggestion to LinDon-Tech is that I miss the ability to have multiple connected devices, to easily switch between each one. But that's a small thing since I've increasingly trying to do everything from 1 device.I will continue to update this review with new updates every couple of months, but for now, it's been great. When I opened this keyboard at work, it became the talk of the town. People kept noticing it and asking about it. But when I wanted to tone it down, I could, changing the pattern of lights, or just turning them off altogether.If you want a solid keyboard, that's a good typing experience and also something you can proudly display at home for guests and a good conversation starter. This is the best there is, and defintely one that's worth every dollar. Buy it.

I love this keyboard! It's a huge step up from what I was using before. I really wanted something that was better on my wrists than my company provided keyboard that was completely flat. I really wanted a clacky keyboard and this checked all the boxes. I feel more productive using it (and can annoy people when I'm on meetings which is a plus for me). Plus it's pretty to look at.I love that I can use it with Bluetooth which I use with my personal laptop but my old work laptop didn't have Bluetooth so I like the fact that you can also use it wired. The problem is that the provided USB cord is a tad short and it doesn't seem to want to work with any other USB cords that I have and know work with other devices. Also the cord is loose where it connects to the keyboard. I actually ended up breaking the "female" end on the inside of the keyboard because I thought it wasn't in all the way and shoved it in a little too hard. Luckily I have techie friends and one of which was able to fix it for me by soldering on a new port. Now I just have to be a little more gentle but it's working great again with a loose, somewhat short cord.

Okay this is my third edit.First 10min I was ready to return it and buy something else - wrists, semicolon & quotation mark keys caps were swapped (performed correct layout), loud (my 1st mechanical &blue switches), awkward enough to slow my speed.I did return it because of the keys but decided to replace it instead of a different keyboard. After testing it out more, I timed myself and I'm just as fast as before, got used to the noise, keys are solid, and despite already having tendonitis adding a wrist rest did the trick and I haven't noticed additional strain.It is stunning to look at but the deciding factor had to be based off that injury and I'm still going to keep it. Be nice if it could connect to my laptop over bluetooth but zero connectivity issues with my phone. Hoping an adaptor is an option.*The compromise I'm making: you have to hit FN+0 on the number pad to insert a period which I will resentfully get used to.Usage: long hours of typing + data entry. No experience with gaming to give context.

**UPDATE 4/21/20:**I've had this keyboard for a little over four months now and it's still working great. I have to charge it maybe once a month and charging isn't a big deal at all since I can still use it while it's charging. The keys and keyboard itself have held up really well, and hopefully will continue to!***I don't normally write reviews, but I was hesitant to pull the trigger on this purchase because it had one 5-star review and one 1-star review. For the price, it is intimidating to make a purchase with two opposing reviews. So even though I rarely leave reviews, I felt like this product needed another 5-star review.I've been using this keyboard for about four days now, so it's still pretty new to me, but so far, I absolutely love it. It's got just the right amount of clickiness.I have small fingers and typing on this keyboard is not difficult at all. In fact, I feel like my typing accuracy went up when I started using it.I love the backlighting feature and the fact that there are so many modes that it can be set to.The only drawback is it's not water-resistant, which would be a nice added feature for those that are clumsy like me.
