iNSIST G55 Pro 87 Keys Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Cherry MX Blue White Backlight Keyboard

Pros:*Small form Factor*Cherry MX Blue option(You have other choices if you want)*Braided cable(seems very durable)*Connects via Mini USB to USB*Comes with keycap puller tool and extra keys for gaming(WASD,etc.)*A duster brush lol*Wrist rest foam*Light up options(No RGB but you get modes like breath, low, mid, high,etc.)*Feels solid considering its plastic under belly but it has this grippy rubber matte finish over it.CONS:There weren't really a lot cons imo. I was mostly looking for a small gaming keyboard. This had everything that I wanted. Small form, Blue cherry MX switches, gaming peripherals,etc.*Cable is kinda short. 3 feet I think. BUT you do have the option of changing it out with another since its Mini USB to USB.*Also the Mini USB wouldnt plug in all the way into its socket when I first plugged it in(I was afraid something was stuck I didnt want to break anything). With a little force it went in.*Instruction manual was convoluted. You can read up on how to use certain functions on the keyboard. But I don't know what G mode is used for? It'll show you how to activate it though lolOverall:You get a lot of features from this keyboard considering its under 100 bucks. I was also afraid of buying it considering no one else left a review for it. From my experience on it so far, I'd say I made a nice purchase. I'm happy overall with it.

Keyboard feels and sounds great to me. Unfortunately mine glitches a few times most sessions, where the backlights will blink on/off once, and the last key will repeat until I press something else. Also the right arrow sounds unpleasantly different from all the other keys. I don't know if these defects are a manufacturing defect in my specific keyboard only, or are inherent to the model.As advertised, there is no roller for sound volume. I did not expect to care, but I'm surprised to find I miss not having it.If it was easier, I'd return it. If there were more cherry brown tenkeyless models I'd probably try another. But since I'm lazy and options are few, I'll probably just live with the glitches and enjoy the rest of it.

When I opened the box, there are many fingerprints on the keyboard.

I spent a couple weeks looking for an 87 key, genuine Cherry MX Brown keyboard with backlighting, comparing reviews between the very few models I could find actually in stock, and the iNSIST looked to be the best. It has not disappointed.For whatever reason I've always liked keyboards where the legend is on the "south" (feels weird calling it the bottom) facing side of the keycap. The positioning of the LED's lines up very, very well with the legends and it looks fantastic. The adjustable lighting settings are also appreciated, mostly because it's done on the board itself and doesn't require software. Off, low, high, breathing, and "zoned" lighting is great.I also really like the feel of the keycaps, they have that soft rubbery finish. I imagine it might wear off eventually but that's ok, keycaps are replaceable.The only issue I've had with the board is likely not the board itself but my KVM. My KVM is set so a double tap of the scroll lock key then 1 or 2 switches between devices. For whatever reason on my main system, a Dell laptop running Linux, the scroll lock light doesn't light up and the hot key wasn't switching between devices so I thought it was broken. Resetting the KVM allowed the hot key combo to work but the LED still doesn't light up under Linux but does on my Windows gaming desktop, so it's just a bit weird.

Purchased Feb 21st 2018, Started Acting up Sept 21st 2018. Lasted exactly 7 months, which is a terrible value for a $100 keyboard. The keyboard will randomly act as if tab is being held upon boot and persists until the whole computer is rebooted, and has shown issues with the windows key and control being 'stuck' in this one as well.Warranty information cannot be found anywhere on Amazon nor a way to contact the seller. Buyer beware.
