[Storm Buy] ZhuQue [CIY] [ Swappable Switch ] [ Customize Switches ] Mechanical Keyboard, Multi Color Led Backlit, 7 Light Modes 87 Keys Wired Gaming & Office Keyboard (ZhuQue, Brown Switch)

I felt hesitant to purchase a keyboard from an off-brand, but am glad I did. I had been considering purchasing a standard Cherry MX Brown keyboard as I lacked the skills required to assemble a custom keyboard myself, as much as I desired custom switches. I was so excited to see that there was not only a keyboard that allowed you to hot-swap switches on the fly without any soldering, but it was the tenkeyless size I wanted, and even comes with colored backlit keys!Unfortunately there's no full customizable RGB version of the tenkeyless version (or wasn't when I purchased at least). It does have a variety of modes and speeds, but the color of each key is preset. I personally opted to disable the yellow and function/arrowkey rows and kept a static rainbow glow under the main 60% area. The keyboard feels of great quality, the included switches are very good already (although I'd have liked the option to get none and save on the cost), and the housing has a very hefty weight to it as someone who has only used cheap plastic keyboards in the past.My main complaint with the keyboard I hadn't realized until I got my new switches was that this keyboard does NOT support keyswitch stabilizers! It's an extra plastic pole on each switch that keeps them more stable, and there's no slot for it on this keyboard. This meant that the installation of my switches (Zealios) involved an extremely tedious, very sad destructive effort of using scissors to snip the stabilizer pole off of each and every switch one at a time, which wasn't easy and usually required a second or third additional trim. This was definitely something I did not want to do considering that the switches cost as much as the keyboard itself did, but there's practically no other option for a tenkeyless hotswappable keyboard on the market so I had to make do.

I really want to like this keyboard. It feels nice to type on, good build quality, nice and sturdy, but I've ordered and returned two in the course of a week for arriving with dead or malfunctioning leds. Is there any QA being performed on these at all? I'm going to see if the third time is the charm, but if I get another dud, I'm moving on to a different brand.Edit: The third keyboard came in and was finally a fully working unit. I've accordingly bumped up my review to 4 stars. I otherwise would have been 5 stars for this product on it's own, but there are clearly manufacturing and/or quality control issues that need to be addressed.

This is a good keyboard, the CIY switch design is very cleaver.The brown switches feel great when I type.I enjoy the feel of the key caps.I plan on modding this with a micro or mini cable as the cable is wired to the back of the case.

Could be a good keyboard but not RGB the colors are set and can't be changed. Needs to be one color or RGB then I would probably rebuy. I returned it.

I bought two of ZhuQue with Blue and Brown Switches.I’m definitely enjoying the Gateron brown switches. i think it is an upgrade version.Compare to the blue switches one, the brown one had 6 color backlights.That is the mainly reason i choose brown one.

Keyboard is bright and the pattern mode is a definite plus! Great quality and feel to it. Would buy again!

Excellent board. By far the best keyboard I have ever owned. The exchangeable switches makes it definitely worth it. Instead of having to order a new board, you would just have to order the switches that need replaced! Can't beat that in my opinion.

love the keyboard love all the featurs like hotswappable switches and more it is so customizable
