since I went to the states and got one of these actually two of these mechanical RGB keyboards I've been nothing but impressed with them and I'm gonna give you guys a review as you haven't requested it a lot welcome back to check yet City this is brian coming to you guys today with the review of the mg k1 RGB keyboard my new favorite mechanical keyboard actually my new favorite keyboard in general and i'm gonna tell you guys why I like this keyboard so much so getting straight off into it is the price I managed to pick up one of these things will actually two of them Wyles in America for $90 a pop and I'll put the link in the description below if you guys wish to check it out but another great feature about this unit is it features Koh blue switches which actually have a higher actuation point than Cherry MX switches so will be slightly better for gaming now also typing on these switches is a little bit noisy since they do have two levels of feedback and I'll let you guys listen to the noise right now moving on to the RGB lighting which is another awesome feature of this keyboard you've got six different modes there which are controlled from the keyboard itself so that's right you don't need any software to use this keyboard which is one of my favorite things about it even though it doesn't have a lot of different modes to choose from it's enough for me for someone who just wants to get that backlighting and also change the colors on the fly and this definitely serves the purpose looking at the key caps they are made of ABS plastic and they do have hallow backlighting there to allow the light to come through in the dark also another thing is not to be disappointed that these are made of ABS plastic because the keyboard itself is only $90 now moving on to the build quality this unit it has a black anodized alloy machined backplate there which I absolutely love the look of it and it also adds to the qualitative feel of the product and then they also include a wrist rest which actually has a decent grip that you will be able to type on and not get annoyed with now moving on to the back of the keyboard we have two levels of adjustment there with the actual levels or the levers being made of steel and moving on to the cable it is a very thick braided cable they're measuring up to around one point eight meters moving on to the bottom of the keyboard there you've got the rubberized grips that allowed it to grip the table you've also got the mountain that if we wish to dismount or mount the actual keyboard rests there and then moving on to the last part of the features on this keyboard is the NCW lighting therefore num lock caps lock and scroll lock and then you've also got the volume lever there which you can change on the fly from the keyboard so I can't say enough good things about this keyboard I really can't critique anything about it especially for the $90 price point at this price point you're getting a mechanical keyboard that is really well built and this is surprising coming from a company that I've never heard of before as you but at least they've made a bang in the keyboard market and this keyboard is going to keep selling like hotcakes because I absolutely love it now I would like to see a zero introduce different variants of it like the brown the Reds and the clears for whoever likes those key switches but for me personally being the blue being my favorite I absolutely love this keyboard and the features that it offers especially the fact that it doesn't use software and you don't even need an extraction manual to use this keyboard on the back it's just got all the modes they're written clearly and you refresh the function key play around with the different settings and you'll learn how to use this keyboard within a couple of minutes gonna be giving this keyboard 5 out of 5 stars because I was blown away not only by the value for money but also the total build quality of this unit it is simply one phenomenal job as you have done with this keyboard and I cannot highly recommend it enough to people out there if they're looking for an RGB backlit blue switched keyboard I actually bought one of these and then I immediately bought a second one after trying it out for a day because it was just that good value for money Wales in the States now people might think that the lack of customization is a negative about this keyboard however for me it's a positive since I don't have to install any software and there's pretty much no learning curve there unlike the software modded razer RGB and corsair RGB keyboards and before you say Brian you haven't tried these keyboards I actually did try the corsair RGB k70 and i preferred this over that which is kind of a little bit of a sad think since corsair do have an amazing track record I just wish they would have simplified their keyboard a little bit more or at least how to switch on the back to put it in simple mode or advanced mode that's maybe some feedback for course there you guys are looking to buy one of those keyboards but anyway that's about it for me today guys if you have any questions or comments then be
