B75 Mechanical Keyboard,75% Layout with Knob,Hot Swappable RGB Backlit Gasket Mounted, Creamy Typing, Double-Shot PBT Keycaps,Cherry Profile,for Win/Mac (Black, Milk V2 Linear Switch)

This is an awesome budget-mid level keyboard with some caveats. Read on to make sure these aren't deal breakers for you. I was looking for a 75% or TKL keyboard to take to the office: not too gamer looking, thocky sounding but also quiet enough not to bother colleagues, and not too expensive in case someone decides to nab it. I also slightly preferred not to have wireless: to avoid anxiety about it constantly charging and discharging and to avoid any hazards of an internal battery. There were a lot of interesting options around this price range, including several Aulas, Royal Kludges, Tecwares, the Ajazz AK820, Mchose G75, and the Kisnt 75% board. For a bit more you start getting into aluminum cases. A bit more still and you get to the much-hyped Rainy 75. I went with the B75 because I liked the aesthetics, the tactile switch option, and that it includes all the navigation keys except for Home. It also was offered for a nice discount. I also really liked the way it sounded in demos on YouTube; the most informative review was from Cameron Dougherty Tech. He liked it overall but found some issues as well - especially annoyances with the keycaps but those things do not bother me. For reference, I have had three mechanical keyboards. The last one was a Montech MKey TKL. I replaced the stock Gateron G Pro 2.0 Brown switches with MMD Princess V3 tactiles; the latter have a much more pronounced tactile feel which I prefer. Before that was a Yunzii SK61S 60% board with optical tactile switches; it felt nice but I could not get used to the 60% layout, so I gave it to a friend. My first one was a Redragon K552 which originally had clicky switches. I did a bunch of mods on the K552 like changing to Akko Jelly Black (linear switches), changing to PBT keycaps, adding heavy case dampening, and lubing the switches and stabilizers. Here are pros of the B75. The sound and feel are very satisfying. I would describe the sound as "thocky" and "poppy". The blue-grey switches are my favorites out of the ones I've tried so far. The tactility feels sharper and a bit more pronounced than the Princess V3 tactiles. However, the Princesses are quite inexpensive when purchased as standalone switches and are very hard to beat for the price. The stabilizers feel solid and larger keys have a nice uniform sound and feel. The case is plastic but the quality feels good to me. The weight makes it not too much of a burden to take to the office. The knob feels decent but I don't use it. A basic USB cable is included; a braided one would be nice but it's not a big deal to me. I find the stock keycaps to be very decent. I prefer non-shine-though PBT. These feel smooth (but not slippery) have a nice thickness which I think contributes to the sound and feel of the keyboard. The font and black-and-beige colorway look appealing but professional enough for an office setting. The RGB seems good although I like to keep it subtle and use the mode where a typed key lights up for a moment and fades out. The majority of boards seem to be hot swappable now, but that's another pro for this one. I had a set of ZDA keycaps (ASIN: B08QJGH5VT) and was curious to see how they would pair with this keyboard. They enhance the sound and make it even a bit louder, feel very satisfying to press, and give the keyboard a nice clean uniform look. However, I noticed that I was making a lot more mistakes so I went back to the stock ones. It turns out that a sculpted profile, like the cherry profile of the stock keycaps, really helps my fingers to find the right keys. Here are a few minor caveats. The board may be too loud for an office setting. At least in the stock state. I ended up keeping this one at home and taking my other ones to the office. As I was swapping keycaps, the switches also tended to come out because they are more tightly secured to the keycaps than the PCB. This slowed me down quite a bit, but it's not something I plan to do often. 75% boards have to make some compromises in the layout, usually with the navigation keys. I generally find the B75 layout to be very usable. Having some space between the arrows and navigation keys makes them easier to locate by feel. The one navigation key that is missing is Home. I don't think there is any mapping for it by default. Creating a mapping requires obtaining software from Yunzii. I was hoping to accomplish two things with the software: (1) remap Insert to Home and (2) map a combo like Win+Del to Insert. That brings us to the major caveats. There is a hint of shadiness that the software is hosted from a Mega NZ drive location. It seems to be missing some expected functionality, like being able to assign key mappings within different layers (e.g. while holding down the Win key). Saving mapped keys to the board from the software does not work for me. When I attempt this, it puts the board into a malfunctioning state where the "8" and the "p" keys do not work; they move the cursor somehow rather than typing the expected characters. Some reviewers mentioned that they received the board in this state; if this is true, it is not a good look and might prompt an immediate return of the product. I found that the board can be restored to a functioning state by running (or rerunning) the procedure to update its firmware. I do not own a Windows computer and run the Yunzii software through a virtual machine; I am not sure if this is contributing to my issues. Because of the issues above, I have been sticking with the default layout. I know I can set mappings using software tools in Linux, but I'm not sure if it's possible in Windows; especially on a work computer where I can't install anything. Most keyboards in this price range don't seem to support VIA, but that is the main thing I'd like to see on this board. Alternatively, since I don't use the knob, I'd much rather have the sixth navigation key. I would prefer Delete in the position of the knob, with Insert to the left of it, and Home directly below it. I find myself reaching for the missing Home key less often than I thought I would so maybe it's less of an issue than I was initially thinking. Overall, I'm very impressed with how good budget mechanical keyboards have gotten over the last few years and am really enjoying the typing experience with this one. I can enthusiastically recommend the B75 if you don't mind something a bit louder, don't need to change key mappings, and can remain calm and try a firmware update if the board arrives in the malfunctioning state.

The keyboard that doesn't look cheap (but it is) This mechanical keyboard is one of those that makes you wonder: how can it cost so little? It has a super solid construction, feels heavy, well-made, and isn't plasticky or fragile at all. The RGB looks great, bright, and customizable, perfect for livening up your desktop. The best part is the switches: the sound is delicious, the kind that makes you want to type for fun. Whether you're gaming, working, or just enjoying typing, it performs like a premium keyboard... but without the premium price. Seriously, if you're looking for something high-quality, with personality, and that won't break the bank, this keyboard is a hidden gem.

This keyboard feels absolutely lovely to type on, and the quality of the materials feels sturdy. I also appreciated the dust jacket it came with. I received a keyboard that had a dud M key, and Yunzii’s customer support was very responsive. I received a replacement quickly without issues. I enjoyed their product so much that I bought their AL98 for my husband, which was also an incredible product for the price point.

Looks great, sounds amazing if you like a more creamy sound, and works well. It could be a little brighter but that is my only complaint.

Louder than expected but everything works well. The knob is very handy for my meetings at work and the stabilizers are all sturdy. Just wish was a bit quieter for my office.

on sale this was the best choice compared to similar products. liked the less ‘pitchy’ sound of the keys compared to the other options. The weight of the keyboard makes it feels like high build quality. Love the off white and yellowing of certain keys to give it a typewriter feel. It is sort of loud in an office setting. RBG color is cool i just don’t use it all the time. been working great as of 1 month in

I have had this for a couple months now and I have no issues with it! I like the keycaps but I would think other people wouldn’t like it as much. The keycaps are very tacky and quite louder than average keyboards in my opinion. I haven’t had any experience with it randomly not working like other keyboards I have had before. Comes with a cover for the keyboard too! Keeps dust off when not in use, very cute and convenient!

I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. The keys sound and feel amazing and it has a perfect minimalist look!
