Nice feeling, Randomly Started Actuating Keys

The keyboard feels really great to type on in my opinion (I've used a few mechanical keyboards before, and I wanted to try out a topre-esque keyboard without breaking the bank), and this sufficed for me.My only issue with this keyboard is that after about a year or so, my keyboard will sometimes type numerous characters if I press a single key. I've never spilt liquid on this keyboard, so I am at a loss as to what could potentially be causing said issue, and I cannot seem to find a means of contacting the company for RMA purposes.

An alternative to HHKB?

Has capacitive keys, but with cherry profile which means you can easily swap out keys for whatever you want. The PBT keys have a nice "fuzzy" feel to them. Key presses are more *thock* than *click*. Waterproof actually works! The software for customizing the keyboard, doesn't.The keys feel like something inbetween cherry reds and browns.

Fav board in my collection

This is an incredibly unique and fun board, and it has become the favorite in my fairly excessive collection. This is a direct competitor to the Realforce RGB in the niche market of Topre RGB boards... having used both, I prefer this (despite the knock off switches and lower price tag).Pros:-Topre-esque bliss... solid budget option to a HHKB, all other features aside-Cherry MX keycap compatible-High quality PBT keycaps-Great RGB lighting and options-Price is very reasonable for what you getCons:-Full size (ew)... ABKO have yet to dive much into the TKL/60% markets, which is a shame-Ship time - this is an import board from South Korea, so it takes some additional time

Keyboard got buggy after 2 months - Random keys get pressed without me touching it

Awesome design, keystrokes have great feeling, fairly quiet for mechanical keyboard.After 2 months, my [TAB] key randomly presses when playing games. I first thought that I may keep accidently graze it so I removed the keycap. After I remove the keycap, the tab button still keeps getting hit. Also my R button gets randomly pressed as well. First a person who plays MOBA games, that's the ultimate button and is a problem. I would give this a 1 star but it's not fair because the design and feel is great. I now have to find a new keyboard because I cannot get support on this and it's too late to return through Amazon.

This keyboard is bar none the best mechanical style keyboard i have ever had

Oh man, where to start. This keyboard is bar none the best mechanical style keyboard i have ever had. This is coming from someone who has tried multiple various mechanical keyboards on the market, Corsair, Steelseries, Qisan, and Razer and ranging from red,blue,green and brown cherry mx switches. Although this keyboard is not a true mechanical, it's what's called a "topre" style switch. It's quiet. VERY quiet. It's like the offspring of a cherry red/brown switch. Overall i'm very satisfied with it. I've gotten so accustomed to it, it's been my daily driver for the past 3 days.

Eargasm.

Sound when I type is so satisfying.- PBT caps- pre lubed keys(might have to lube more if you prefer super smooth)- daily use water proof- gold plated USB connector- compatible w cherry mx key cap- 1000hz polling rate- customizable LED

Great keyboard, review revisited 1 year later

I bought this keyboard in January of 2019, it's now January of 2020 and I feel I should revisit this a little.I'm still using this on my desktop as my daily driver. Most of my original, more positive review, I still stand by. However, I've grown to have a few gripes with this keyboard though. It has a key lock feature, blocking any inputs after pressing FN+Esc. I find it useful when my cats decide to jump on my desk. However, sometimes when trying to unlock it again with the same key combination, it will be stuck locked and I'll have to disconnect and reconnect it from my computer to use it again.I didn't really notice it when first reviewed, but the keys have quite a bit of wobble and rattle, especially the stabilized keys. Recently I've had a very rare problem of double presses. I'm not entirely sure if that's from wear-and-tear or it's just my mistakes.It's meant to be a Topre keyboard clone, so if you're not familiar with that word I'd suggest googling so you know what you're getting into. I've never used a Topre keyboard myself, but plenty of people out there have compared this ABKO board to real Topres. The opinions are a bit varied, but generally people seem to agree that this is a quite different typing experience from Topre, but is nice in it's own rite. It has a very smooth press, with a somewhat lower actuation point than most other keyboards I've used; take that as you will. Typing on this keyboard is fairly quiet, with some noise at the top of your press coming from your finger hitting the key, then a low-pitched thump on the bottom-out.The customization software is tricky to find if you can't use the disk, but is quite useful. If you do a google search for "ABKO K985P", a result on the first page should lead to the product page on ABKO's website (entirely in Korean, but it's not too hard to get to download without English). Click the cloud button toward the top-right of the product page, and the first download at the bottom of the page should lead to the K9-108 software download. It may start with Korean language, but there's a button at the top to switch to English. You should click "ReadAll" before starting to remap, as the software does not automatically load your profile on launch; you have to do this every time you start the program. From there, you can freely remap both layers of every key on the keyboard, functions included. The RGB customization is pretty basic as far as effects go, but it's enough for me. You can use preset effects, or you can set individual keys to on/off in several customizable profiles.Overall, I've changed my review from 5 stars to 4 stars for the aforementioned reasons. I still enjoy using this keyboard quite a bit, but reading about other options is making me notice my issues with it a bit more. For this price point, you can't get anything quite like it: electrostatic capacitive keyswitches, customizable RGB lighting, full key remapping capabilities, and quite a bit more. For those that want a Topre, this isn't it. It's a unique typing experience that I don't regret using.
