i-rocks K71M RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Gateron Brown Switches, 107 Keys, Full NKRO, PBT Keycaps, Media Control Knob | Detachable USB-C & Onboard Storage | Perfect for PC Gaming, Office Work & Typing (Pink)

Edit: 07/27/2023This keyboard has been going strong since my purchase more than 2 years ago. I have upgraded my PC, moved, changed jobs, and been through 4 semesters of college since then and this keyboard is still solid as a rock. I would buy anything from i-rocks at this point.Edit: 07/21/2021i-rocks contacted me after my updated review and provided me with a replacement almost instantly after I submitted my edited review, so first of all kudos to them for the great customer service.The replacement keyboard I received has been functioning flawlessly since I received it and I am changing my rating to 5 stars to reflect that the first keyboard I received was an outlier.edit: 03/02/2021The keyboard has unfortunately not lived up to my expectations. Approximately 3 weeks ago I noticed that I kept having to hit the 'e' key several times before it would recognize the input. The problem then extended to the 's' key, then the 'd' key, which is a real detriment to most video games I play and ended up being so frustrating that I am returning the keyboard. It is unfortunate because I really did have high hopes for this budget friendly mid range keyboard with lots of features. Maybe I just got a bad keyboard.original review follows.~~~I spent several weeks searching for a keyboard that had similar features to my current keyboard (Corsair K70 LUX RGB) but wouldn't be $200+ or require several hours of setup and/or building an entirely custom solution.My requirements were:* Full size (104/108 key)* Per-key RGB* media volume wheel* standard layout* A typeface font that wasn't horrendous* Tactile mechanical switchesAnd this meets all of those requirements! It may not seem like a lot, but believe me, it was pretty hard to find something that met all of those requirements and didn't cost upwards of $160.Pros:+ The Outemo browns sound nicer to my ears than the Cherry browns I had before+ Tactility is much better than the Cherry browns I used before. I've heard people call Cherry browns "sandy reds" (e.g. not truly tactile, merely being gritty linear switches) and after using these I would say that I agree, thought I am no expert. These have a really nice bump and the sound is about an octave lower in pitch than the cherries.+ Per-key RGB is very vibrant, with only a couple keys displaying some weird legend inconsistencies (capslk and numlk specifically)+ edge lighting also looks quite nice (usually).+ detachable usb-c cable powers and connects this device.- top edge lighting could be brighter, and all around the edge lighting could use more LEDs to provide a more consistent light-bar- software is mediocre, and when I downloaded it, it was in Chinese, so it was difficult to tell how to get it to English. (click the cog wheel in the top right, then in the second menu option click on the arrow to drop down the menu and click english to change the GUI language)- the space bar is... not great. It seems to squeak, and I think it is the stabilizer(s) that are causing the squeak.- there are no separate media controls besides the wheel, just media controls accessed with the function key combinations.Other thoughts/closing: This is a great budget keyboard. My only other consideration for keyboard with similar features was the Roccat Vulcan 121 Aimo which is about twice the price. I can't speak for quality yet as it has only seen a few days of use but the keyboard feels very heavy which is a good sign. I also don't believe that I could swap out the switches easily but that was my only other desire and is hard to find at a reasonable price, so the point is moot. A lot of Chinese brands use this horrible ugly typeface on their keys which I don't understand so I was pleasantly surprised to find one with a pretty standard typeface.
