Title: Awesome
Review: Â I had a high end board and it’s rubbish compared to this. My old board you couldn’t read the keys even with the lights on full. The keys are lovely to type on, with a satisfying click from the switches that’s not too loud. The lights are lovely and bright making the keys stand out and very clear to read the keys. The key caps come off with ease with just your fingers, you dont need the cap puller at all. Overall build quality is great, not too heavy and has zero bend in the board and is build very sturdy. I’ve been using computers since the 80’s and this has to be the most satisfying board I’ve ever used.. on a gaming point you can swap the WASD and arrow keys around so the WASD keys become the arrow keys and the arrow keys become thee WASD keys to make gaming easier if your left handed. Haven’t got a single complaint, well worth the money. For a cheep mechanical board this makes my high end one look and feel like trash. Response time from the keys is spot on for gaming and normal office work, There is no double typing, that is when you press a key it comes up on the screen as if you pressed it twice, it doesn’t happen no matter how soft or hard you press the keys.

Title: Great value mechanical keyboard
Review: I bought this as a work keyboard as I am a fan of mechanical keyboards from owning one at home for gaming.The red switches I believe are similar to the Cherry Red MX switches.I can confirm that they have a similar feeling – perhaps not quite as fast as the actuation force required seems to be slightly higher.Regardless, it is are a lot better than a non-mechanical keyboard and perfectly fine to use in a work environment.Depending on how the keys are pressed, this keyboard can be virtually silent if typed upon with just the right amount of force to register but not actually press down to the bottom of the travel on the key.Even going at full force it is not much louder than a normal keyboard. Certainly not that noticeable in the context of an open plan office.Build quality is very good. Very solid and belies the modest cost.The legs to raise the back of the keyboard higher are also sturdy and do not look like they will break/snap easily.The only quibble on this front would be that it doesn’t seem to be rated for dust and liquid. Pulling up the space key and the A key shows that there are gaps which allow access to the underlying circuit board. Thus it would probably benefit from a dust cover when not in use and not having lunch / beverages being consumed over the top of it.A good addition would be a wrist rest.

Title: Very good quality
Review: Very good quality mechanical keyboard, with removable switches. The RGBs are also great, and bright enough to be seen in a brightly lit room

Title: Worked for a few months
Review: Bought this keyboard a while back, no issues to begin with. The keyboard looks smart, from lighting to quick response of the keys all seemed perfect! Quick and easy plug and play without the need for additional software, the price also made this keyboard desirable in comparance to other mechanical keyboards on the market. Only downside is after 4 months 2 of the keys stopped functioning which was a shame but can’t fault the overall quality, quite heavy and well built keyboard.

Title: Perfect
Review: Bought this for work and I love it. You can change the modes for the lights (whether you want the lights flashing, on constantly or off completely)Easy to use and you can customise the key caps to suit your set up. Overall I really recommend to anyone looking for a new keyboard or to customise your work space. 10/10

Title: The quieter keys
Review: I’ve had this keyboard for over a month now unlike my last keyboard it had very loud keys and with me have auditory autism this keyboard is a lot quieter and a lot easier to deal with as long as you are not slamming down on the keys that is. It has a lovely wight it and doesn’t move around at all with use it also comes with a key cap remover to make cleaning behind the keys nice and easy. If I had to buy another cheap quiet keyboard again This will be my first go to. xx

Title: Disapointingly unreliable
Review: I wish I could review this keyboard more highly, but it has been somewhat of a dissapointment. Over the last 18 months, I have had two of this model of Trust GXT keyboard and both have failed in the same ways with keys gradually becoming unresponsive or doubling up on key strokes. The first keyboard started on the ‘T’ and the second on the ‘A’ and progressivly deteriorted from there. No amount of key removal and cleaning made any difference.Generally speaking the keyboard is nice to use and when it is working is a good responsive mechanical keyboad. I’ve been using it for CAD and general computing rather than gaming, but it’s 10 month lifespan is nowhere near adequate.I will also say that I also use a GXT Mouse and this has also failed in the first 8 months (scroll wheel failure) and had to be repolaced. This will sadly be subject to a similarly poor review.I don’t feel I can recommend the Trust GXT range – my experience of 2 keyboards and 2 mice all failing due to swicth/button failures in less than two years is poor at best but generally disappointing.
