ASCENY One - Hot-Swappable 60% Mechanical Keyboard with Extra Colorful Keycaps, RGB Lights, Spill Proof, Optical Switches (Gateron Blue)

I really wanted to get my first 60% since I have a TKL and a 65% and this one looked both colorful and the reviews looked promising. Upon receiving the keyboard, I was surprised by how light it was. This is a fully plastic keyboard and as I'm typing this review out right now, the keyboard is definitely a bit loud, but nothing super obnoxious. I got Gateron Black switches and they are the first good quality linear switches I have ever had and I love them (I have only ever had a keyboard with Outemu Red's and those were awful sadly). Colors are super nice and while you are a bit limited without the software to change the options, they are still nice. The software sadly is not the most amazing to use, but it works. I recommend that when buying this keyboard with black/red switches, you add o-rings as they dampen the sound well and makes them feel amazing. Lubing the stabilizers also made a big difference on this board. The stabilizers are not bad, just a bit noisy. I am extremely happy with my purchase and anyone who is looking at a low-cost 60% board with a stylish and colorful look should definitely consider this board!

After researching countless reviews, I can honestly say that this is one of the best purchases you can make if you are just starting to get into mechanical keyboards. As this is my first mech, I can truly say that this keyboard is beginner friendly and easy to understand. This keyboard is incredibly worth it for the price for the great RGB lighting and quality switches.As I began to customize this keyboard, I realized that the stabilizers are lubed! They aren't the best stabilizers but the little detail to even get them lubed is greatly appreciated. Having a great budget hot-swappable keyboard at this price is just amazing! One concern I have though, is the switch puller. At times the puller becomes unstable and sends the switch flying across the room. The keycap puller is also a concern because as you try to pull them up and inspect the key, the glossy finish on their sides get moderate scratches. The top of the keys (also the extra colored keycaps ) have this matte finish that doesn't attract finger oils though so that's a great plus! In contrast of some reviewers, the RGB features is also very easy to understand once you read the letter/user guide. It shows exactly what keys you need to go through the different options. The RBG is also amazing in the dark and even in direct light.This is an overall great prebuilt mech at a budget for gamers and typists alike! This mech can also have some improvements with customization but overall happy with my purchase. Happy to join #teamasceny! :)

I have been using full size keyboards for quite some time. I wanted to transition to a 60% keyboard and started my research. I started with reading reviews from multiple sources and concluded that this is the keyboard for me. A big part of my decision was the positive feedback that others had on the product. I also took in to account that their message seemed down to earth. The humor is there and that along with a quality product is magic.I received the keyboard in a timely manner thanks to Amazon and was eager to try it out. While unboxing, I noticed the quality of the product. It feels sturdy and not cheap in any way. The first thing I wanted to know was the feel. I began typing with the intensity of a hacker in a television series. I was creating a GUI interface using Visual Basic, to see if I could track an IP address with speed never seen before. The feeling was amazing and I was stimulated both through feeling and sound. Thanks Asceny for the pleasure.With all that out of the way, I will say this is a great keyboard. The price is right, the feel is right, the sound is right, everything is just right. I would recommend this keyboard to anyone because I know it will not disappoint.

The media could not be loaded. I picked this keyboard because I wanted an affordable mechanical option with RGB and protection against spills. I've had this for a few months now and it's gotten a decent amount of use, since I'm a web developer working from home.Reasons to Smash:----------------------- Does what it says on the tin. This keyboard is much more reliable than the one I purchased it to replace.- The RGB is bright and vibrant. I like the different options, though I wish I could slow down the animation of some of the wave effects. It can be a little dizzying/distracting.- Replaceable keycaps!- The keys feel pretty good to type on. Not sure if they're the switches I ordered, though.- Really affordable price for a starter mechanical keyboard.- Came with a really amusing letter from the company.Reasons to Pass:--------------------- I ordered the one with red switches, but I swear, these sound and feel more like blues. They're VERY loud and clicky. It's fun to type on, and fortunately I work from home, so the annoyance factor for others is lower. But my coworkers have complained when I've typed on zoom calls, and I find it a little irritating at times too. I attached a video so you can hear. It's not like I expected them to be silent, but they're definitely noisier and springier than I anticipated.- With my personal desk setup and anatomy, I find working at this keyboard is tiring for my wrists and forearms. I have pretty small/medium hands and am a generally small person at 5'2, but this board feels cramped to me. I'm going to save up to upgrade from this to an ergonomic split setup.- There's some combination of keys that I've accidentally pressed on a few occasions that locks up the entire keyboard. There's another one that disables the Windows key. I'm sure this is a feature for someone, but that person isn't me, lol.- Totally my fault for purchasing a 60% board, but I knew what I was getting into, and I still underestimated how much I would HATE not having dedicated arrow keys. I didn't realize how often I used them to go back and correct mistakes while writing code. Having to hold FN to use them is annoying. If you edit a lot of text, maybe rethink this size board.I have fortunately not had to see how well this keyboard stands up to spills yet. The fact that it's advertised as spill proof gives me peace of mind, though. I've spilled beverages on at least 4 laptops or keyboards so far this century.Overall, I think this is a really good option for an affordable mechanical keyboard. It doesn't totally meet my needs, though, so look out if ergonomics and arrow keys are important to you.

Wonderful
