I am giving this keyboard 5 stars because it costs $29, which is less than almost all wired mechanical keyboards and this one has Bluetooth and 2.4g (bluetooth through usb receiver). I have not seen any mechanical keyboards offering both wireless modes for under $80. The keyboard connects quickly without any issues. Battery seems to last long but I don't know how long because I've never had it die yet. Red switches feel very good to type on. I was amazed that they are as good as they are considering the price.The one issue that keeps me from loving this keyboard and using it on my main computer is the keyboard layout. The arrow keys are FN keys shared with the "/?" key which are two symbols I need to use constantly along with the arrow keys. Most 60 or 65% keyboards that have the arrow keys use a different layout. I've never seen a keyboard put an arrow key or any other key on the "/?" key before. They really should have taken away the right shift key away or made it half-sized instead. This one flaw makes the keyboard useless to me but I won't lower my rating since I should have noticed the key layout before purchasing it.

I'm using this as a Bluetooth keyboard on my new Samsung S24 Ultra and it's working great. It pairs quickly with the phone and I love the back light. The keycaps have an awesome retro look with the tan color and red highlights. I also like the bonus purple and blue keys the keyboard came with. I charge the keyboard whenever I think about it but I haven't run out of battery yet. It uses USB-C, so I just use the Samsung charger with it. The small size means I can actually fit this in my laptop bag if I wanted to use it with my ThinkPad.These are red switches, so they are clicky but not quite as loud as the blue switches. I have another brown switch keyboard and I'd say they're a little louder than brown but quieter than the blue. Definite bonus points for making the keyboard switches hot swappable, though these red switches are great so I don't feel any need to swap them. This will definitely extend the longevity of the keyboard, because it's user repairable.

i went from blue switches to these red switches and i can say that they sound and feel a lot better. battery life is pretty good and i like that the keyboard comes with an extra keycap set. my one problem is probably the rgb since it is not as bright as other keyboards i’ve had and the colouring is a little off (purple looks more pink, white doesn’t really look white) other then that it’s a nice keyboard that feels smooth and looks clean

This keyboard has a nice weight to it compared to similar ones I've tried in the price range but it was missing the USB-C cable. The RGB settings are robust and unexpected at this price point. I went for an open box with brown switches and the only let down was the missing USB-C cable. Now I need to buy one long enough to plug into my computer if I want to use it wired or to charge it. So the savings from buying a used one aren't as great since a long cable will cost around $15-20. I wish I bought it new but I'm still happy with the keyboard and the Bluetooth 5.0 functionality.I appreciated the email from the manufacturer with details on how to use the backlight features, including brightness and color pattern control. The keys do have a very minor spring sound as others have mentioned but they still feel solid and tactile. I ordered the brown key version and it's not too loud, just what I was hoping for. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the missing USB-C cable, but that seems like Amazons mistake while inspecting the open box return and not the manufacturer. Whoever returned it just decided to keep the long cable

I bought two 60% mini keyboards at the same time, this one, and another sold on amazon, a wired one sold by LexonElec. Both keyboards use brown switches, but they feel somewhat different. This white keyboard has quieter keys, but a louder spacebar, the other has a quieter spacebar but slightly louder keys. The biggest difference is the button layout. The LexonElec keyboard has an extra column of buttons giving you Home, Delete, PageDown, PageUp, and it actually gives you the four arrow keys. I love both keyboards but overall I think the LexonElec has a much better button layout. However, I am keeping both keyboards because they are both excellent in slightly different ways - the are some tradeoffs that simply cannot be avoided when it comes to keyboard layouts. Having said that, here's what I don't love about this keyboard:-There is no Volume Up/Volume Down control for audio on the keyboard, not even a secondary one activated by the Fn key.-The arrow keys require Fn to work, which you can get used to if you just need to use the arrow keys on their own, however, if you want to highlight words, or parts of words, by holding shift and using the arrow keys, well that won't work on this keyboard because you have to press Fn for the arrow keys to work, but pressing Fn changes the function of the Shift key, so it's actually impossible to press shift+arrow key.Everything else is great. Bluetooth works well, battery life lasts a long time, keys feel really really nice both to press as well as the actual feel of the plastic - it's a kind of a rubberized plastic which feels kind of velvety or soft in a nice way, not a hard plastic like other keyboards I've tried. Overall I highly recommend this keyboard if you can live without a Volume +/- shortcut, and if you don't mind not being able to use shift+arrowsEdit: Stopped working shortly after the return window closed. I've only had it for 60 days and now several keys simply don't work anymore.

The Newmen GM610 60% Keyboard is well built and has many features that you wouldn't expect at this price point Newmen seems to fly under the radar and there is very little on the internet about this under priced 60% Bluetooth wireless/wired keyboard. This board is not a cheap bare bones unit considering the onboard Bluetooth 3.0 and 5.0 and the ability to assign and quickly choose from three different devices via the onboard Bluetooth with a simple function key combination as well as a wired option with a USB -C connector. This little keyboard rivals the more expensive popular brand boards out on the market today. You have the option of blue, brown or red switches which should give most what they are looking for in a 60% board. I opted for the red switches which are just right for my needs of general typing and some gaming and they sound great without being annoyingly loud. The switches are hot-swappable 3-pin OUTEMU switches which have a wonderful feel and in my opinion is perfect right out of the box.The GM610 also comes with an extra full set of dark blue key caps and 14 red caps for the control /function keys which allows you to mix and match key colors for a custom look on your desktop. I don't think you can go wrong with this little keyboard for the price and custom options that come along with it. I am using this keyboard with my desktop Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8Gb and I am considering purchasing another one in the very near future so I can take one on the go with my portable Raspberry Pi Cyberdeck build.

I bought this keyboard to spoil myself for Christmas and I’m extremely happy I did. The build quality is great, the plastic doesn’t feel cheap nor do the keycaps, and they even come with a second set! I’ve made mine an all white layout to match my setup and the keyboard completes it. The software is user-friendly, and I’ve made the lights Christmas theme haha. For gaming, I got the brown switches and I’m a hard presser and it felt perfect, no latency in wired mode and its compact-style made it less janky and very comfortable. Overall, amazing keyboard, if I ever need another one I’ll come back for another one!Edit: I emailed newmen and their response time was amaing! Great customer service and was very friendly. They were patient with my response and my schedule and responded almost as soon as I emailed them! Good job Newmen!
