Extremely concerning issue
I had this keyboard for about a month, and it was great... I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, that's where this love story ends. Yesterday, I found the keyboard completely unresponsive and noticed it was EXTREMELY hot right under the spacebar. Realizing this wasn't normal, I immediately unplugged it. When I picked it up and turned it over, I saw an area where the plastic had actually melted! I was completely shocked. It's concerning because I don't know how long it had been heating up, or what might have happened if I hadn't noticed it in time. What if I had something flammable near the keyboard? Users of this keyboard: please be warned.
From the Product Manufacturer team
Hi Moi, we’re very sorry to hear about what happened with the keyboard. Please discontinue use and keep it unplugged, especially after noticing the excessive heat and melted plastic. Please reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

Punchy keys, Standard USB
This keyboard is light and has a nice punch to the keys. A bit noisy when typing fast. Easy to pack up and be on the go. However, my biggest complaint with this keyboard is that it’s being manufactured with a standard USB plug rather than USB-c. Not sure why a new product isn’t up to date.
From the Product Manufacturer team
Hi Carl, we’re glad you’re enjoying the lightweight design and punchy keys! We appreciate the feedback on the standard USB connection and understand wanting a more up-to-date setup.

Works great
I love the layout of the keyboard. The keys are high and soft. Easy to hook-up to computer. Has flips on the back to tilt the keyboard upwards. Has value for the size. And it's also probability easy.

Buttons Unresponsive
Will be returning, as it has no additional number pad, and the keys for “8” and “4” are unresponsive/do not work

Great little keyboard
This is the perfect little keyboard. I love the feel of the old-school keys. The colorful backlight is super cute. Follow the instructions included and you can program it to be for windows or Mac! I also love that it’s corded because battery operated ones seem to lag eventually. Overall. Great little keyboard!
From the Product Manufacturer team
Hi Amanda, we’re so glad you’re loving the keyboard! The colorful backlight and old-school keys definitely make it a fun one. Thanks for sharing your experience!

As far as feel it's great for the price but I wanted it to be a solid color on the backlight and it doesn't seem like that is an option on the RGB so that's a let down. would love to know if it has that option
From the Product Manufacturer team
Chris, we're glad you're enjoying the feel of the keyboard. We appreciate your feedback about wanting a solid-color backlight option.

MAC Approved!!
I am so excited that this is Apple product compatible. We have Max and I was concerned at first that this wouldn’t work, but it does perfectly. The functionality and size is great and the aesthetics are top-notch. My kids love this and are looking forward to doing their schoolwork using this keyboard and how it illuminates and changes colors.

Cool RGB lights
I am truly loving this Compact Mechanical Keyboard. I love how easy it is to set up and use. Very sturdy and it will last very long. I am really thrilled and impressed with the cool RGB lights.

Better than a membrane keyboard but not a great mechanical keyboard
There is a huge difference in quality between budget keyboards and their most expensive brothers. This keyboard very much falls into the budget category. There are some things this keyboard does well as a budget keyboard: The led lighting and glow through key caps both look great. The space bar actually has decent stabilizers Plug and play experience was seamless with no bloatware software needed I noticed no delay in typing, seeming plenty responsive for average use On the other hand, there are some compromises. The chassis of the keyboard is very light and hollow, leading to reverb when typing The key caps feel less solid and polished compared to some of the more premium options When typing, the key action doesn't feel as smooth as I might like. I would say this is a decent alternative to a membrane keyboard, but not great for someone looking to get into mechanical keyboards.
From the Product Manufacturer team
Hi David, thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the responsive plug-and-play performance, RGB lighting, and stabilized space bar. We also appreciate your comments regarding the keyboard’s lightweight construction, key feel, and typing sound.

Nice keyboard with USB connection
This keyboard has full sized buttons, but it’s not the full size with the numbers on the right side. Of course there are numbers still along the top, but important to mention if you are doing a lot of data/number entry. It does have the tabs on the bottom to prop up the keyboard too. It’s pretty lightweight and compact, great for a smaller workspace. The USB connection is super easy to connect and use. Plug and play! Would recommend this product.

Hi Kelley, thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad the compact design, full-size keys, adjustable feet, and simple plug-and-play setup work well for your workspace. We appreciate you noting the layout does not include a number pad.

Cute light up keyboard!
This keyboard is too cute. It’s easy to set up but be aware that it uses USB-A so it won’t work with every computer. It lights up and you can change the colors - so fun! A little “clicky” sounding which isn’t for everyone but I don’t mind.
From the Product Manufacturer team
Hi Marla, thank you for sharing! We’re glad the keyboard was easy to set up and that you’re enjoying the customizable lighting. We appreciate you mentioning the USB-A connection and clicky keys as well!

Nice compact keyboard with some fun lighting effects.
This keyboard was super simple to setup, plug in the USB and away you go. There are a bunch of different options for the lights that you can easily switch between with the multifunctional knob. Typing on the keys is pleasant and not an obnoxious clacking, I am not much of a keyboard and mouse gamer, so I can't speak to the responsiveness of the keys for that, but typing it was responsive. My only complaint would be that it has taken some getting used to the layout, I was hitting the wrong keys with the right hand side for a while. I would say this is a great Keyboard if you have limited space or just want something compact, the lighting is fun and it's nice there are a handful of options for what is displayed.

Amazing!
I love the sound of the buttons! I love that is lights up, helps when playing in the dark and you can still see the letters! Very lightweight and amazing quality! I love that the buttons are still the same spots that a full sized key board would Generally be!
