Newmen GM326 Mechanical Keyboard,Wired Gaming Keyboard,75% Percent TKL Hot Swappable Compact LED Backlit USB C Mechanical Gaming Keyboards with Knob for PC Windows Mac,QWERTY Layout,White,Red Switches

This is actually a great piece I have only returned it due to it being wired and read the description wrong. I wanted a wireless one. I am not 100% sold on the size of it but it works well if you’re looking for a compact keyboard for a small desk. The clicking is a nice sound! Loads of options to change lighting, direction of lights and speed as well. Three options for how high you want it pictures attached to show the differences. It does NOT come with the item to detach each red key one you remove the cap. The quality is absolutely lovely. I would expect this from an expensive provider but it was really well priced!

Bought this to upgrade my working from home set up - have been using a Logitech membrane-based keyboard since 2020 but as I need to write several 1000+ word reports each week having something with a bit more ‘travel’ in the keys was really desirable. This keyboard at around £20 seemed really reasonable as a first foray into a mechanical keyboard plus its design, compact, rectangular and white sets it apart from other low-cost ‘gaming’ keyboards that look all seem to be shaped like the outer armour (black, spikey) of yet another Marvel villain rather than something attractive for a home office. Pros and Cons Pros: - Fast, responsive typing. - MacOS/Windows keyboard toggle a positive - Volume dial great addition, works in Teams calls. - Lots of rainbow lighting options if needed (I didn’t buy it for it but nice to have) - Nicely packaged, clear instructions in several languages Cons - As a UK user to note it is laid out like a MacBook so @/“ keys are reversed, obviously you OS software setting will work but you might miss the £ symbol for example. - the location of a few other keys are a bit tricky to get used to - arrow keys and delete aren’t where you’d fully expect so I ended up pressing ‘home’/‘insert’ a lot on first use. - it’s definitely not a ‘premium’ mechanical keyboard in use, it feels a little bit ‘lighter’ than you’d expect but for £20 that’s understandable. - lighting options seem to be commonplace on gaming keyboards these days, and it is easier with LEDs to have every colour, but a simple ‘on/off’ white/blueish backlight would have been preferable alongside needing to run through 20 options of swoops/swirling lights etc! Overall: I don’t regret this purchase which has helped improve my typing speed at home and this is a great, affordable addition to my home office.

I bought this keyboard not expecting much, and I've honestly been blown away so far. Out of the box, it didn't sound fantastic (very clacky and hollow sounding) but the switches felt relatively nice to type on, although they do come unlubed (the stabilisers are lubed however). The LED backlight is quite nice, it's not addressable LEDs so if thats something you care about you may want to look elsewhere, but the colouring is nice and gives off an almost pastel colour. The case is quite easy to open, there are three clasps on the front and back holding the two pieces together so its incredibly moddable if you're into modding your keyboard, although I'm yet to figure out how to take the knob off so plate foam may be out of the question. Overall it's good straight out of the box, if a little clacky. Now onto modding (keyboard enthusiasts, this section is for you). To mod this keyboard, i added several layers of PVC tape to the underside of the motherboard, added some foam and blue tac (to emulate silicone) in the case itself, and lubed the switches since they are 100% hot swappable, although some of the hot swap sockets are rather tight so they required a little more force. With these mods, the keyboard easily sounds like a £80 keyboard. I also added some foam to the space bar which really helped it thock. If you're after a relatively cheap keyboard thats easy to mod, I really don't think you can go wrong with this one. It is important to note, however, that this board only supports 3-pin switches, so you may have to clip any 5-pin switches if you wish to use them. Overall, the keyboard sounds amazing after a couple of mods, and I can imagine it would sound like an enthusiast grade keyboard with a little bit of modding and some nicer switches and keycaps. Lubing the stock switches does improve the sound greatly, but higher quality switches would definitely take it to a new level.

I recently upgraded my gaming setup with the GM326 Wired Gaming Keyboard, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. This compact TKL (75% per cent) mechanical keyboard is perfect for gamers who want a streamlined and efficient gaming experience. One of the best features of this keyboard is its hot-swappable red switches, which provide satisfying tactile feedback and quick response time, perfect for fast-paced gaming sessions.

I love the compact design of this keyboard, which saves space on my desk and allows for more room for mouse movement. Plus, the LED backlit keys not only look stylish but also provide enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring that I can game comfortably at any time of day or night. Another standout feature of this keyboard is the addition of a knob, which allows for quick and easy volume control and other customizable functions. This convenient feature adds an extra level of functionality to the keyboard, making it even more versatile and user-friendly. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the GM326 Wired Gaming Keyboard. Its compact design, hot-swappable red switches, LED backlighting, and convenient knob make it the perfect choice for gamers who demand performance and functionality.

Great simple keyboard, nice to type with and cheap on price

Really good keyboard for typing and just gaming. I love how it looks, sounds and just works. Thanks for this amazing keyboard :)

The keyboard itself works is nice, it connects to my ps5 and has great backlight functions. however, the keyboard tends to have bad connection problems despite it working with the ps5, the keyboard will sometimes just disconnect itself but immediately reconnect. If this is used for general stuff it wouldn’t be such a problem, however, when gaming, it makes a difference and it isn’t the great experience. If anyone can help me with this problem that’d be great, i’m not sure if it’s the cable or the keyboard.
