Gaming Keyboard, 65% Low Profile Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Red Switch, Bluetooth 5.0/ 2.4G/ Wired RGB Lighting Keyboards for Travel Office PC, Compatible with Mac OS and Windows, Volume Slider

It’s a good keyboard but the battery drains pretty quick that’s the only issue I have with it. It could use different color lights as well. It’s pricey but worth it. Also it should have a carrying case but no biggie with that since I have one for my other keyboards.

Been using in my van. Working like a champ. Buy this!

Eksa EK3000 keyboard review Beautiful, compact, solid, & connectivity galore! Nicely boxed with user manual, in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese. Comes with a nice quality braided USB type-C to type-A cable, with an attached storage holder (see picture) for the nano receiver, as well as a Velcro cable tie. Unfortunately, the nano-receiver storage holder does not hold the receiver very tightly. Mine kept falling out, so I used a short piece of black electrical tape so as not to lose the receiver when not in use. Bottom of keyboard is black plastic, with rubber (very non-skid) feet, height elevator feet (see picture), and has a thick aluminum deck under the keys, and a translucent LED-lit front band under the deck with separate settings for LED lighting colors/patterns. Keys are a beautiful black, grey, and orange color scheme. There are numerous backlight settings. Some are color cycling, some have blink patterns of backlighting, and others are solid, always on colors. All are controlled with function key plus arrow keys, insert, delete, PgUp and PgDn keys. The sellers description page includes a video of the numerous backlight options. You should watch it!! (In my opinion, the backlight control instructions in the user manual are easy enough to follow.) On the right edge, there are 2 switches. One lets you switch between Mac and Windows (Win) compatibility, and the second switch lets you change between USB (corded) and wireless modes. On the left edge, there is a volume slider allowing easy volume control, which worked flawlessly in Windows 11, MacOS Monterey, and Raspberry Pi OS. Noise: This is a clicky sounding keyboard, so if you really *need* silent operation, you will not like it. It is OK for me because I dont have any reason to be stealthy. Amazing connectivity- 3 ways to connect: Keyboard comes with a USB type-C to USB type-A cable, with a clever rubber attached holder for the nano-receiver for 2.4 GHZ wireless connection. Can be connected with USB cable, 2.4 GHZ nano-receiver, or bluetooth. Can connect up to 3 different bluetooth devices, and easily switch between devices with function key + q, w, or e for bluetooth, and function + r for nano-receiver. The q, w, e, and r keys are faintly labeled BT1, BT2, BT3, and 2.4G respectively. This is convenient in case you forget which keys are for wireless control. Compatibility Mac: I connected to my MacBook Pro using the USB cable (wired mode) and the side switch set to Mac, and other side switch set to the USB symbol. I was able to not only type, but even do the PRAM reset key sequence as the MacBook started. The keyboard has the Alt key also labeled (faintly) Command, the Win key labeled as Option, and the Ctrl key labeled as Control (just as on a Mac keyboard). The volume slider works perfectly with the Mac. Next I disconnected the USB cable, switched the side switch to the wireless symbol, and went into the Macs bluetooth settings, and held down the Function key simultaneously with the q key and the MacBook saw it as EKSA EK3000 and I was able to easily connect with bluetooth. Next I plugged the nano-receiver in, disconnected bluetooth, and used the Function + r key combination, and immediately could use the keyboard that way. Compatibility Windows: Windows 11 laptop (ToughBook 55) worked just as well (set edge switch to Win), using the USB cable, the nano-receiver, and bluetooth (connected with Function + w key combination). Compatibility Raspberry Pi 4B: Corded keyboard worked as expected when I started the Pi. With wireless/USB switch set to USB, I tried the Mac setting and the Win setting. Win is the one that worked. Nano receiver did not work until I rebooted, but after reboot (and function + r) worked just fine. Bluetooth (function + e key) did not work until a reboot. Then I had to try 3 times, but it did finally work (Raspberry Pi can be a little finicky with bluetooth). Volume slider worked with all three modes. One thing that you have to remember is that because there are so many connectivity, and OS options available, you need to use the function key combinations, along with the side switches to switch between OSs and computers. Dont get frustrated by needing to use those switches!! This makes this keyboard so extremely versatile!! I have to say that I really love this keyboard!!

Im surprised by how much I like this keyboard - Im typing this review on it, and its my new favorite. Its compact and solidly made. The switches are stable, so theres no wiggle in the keys like youd see with cheaper keyboards. You can connect it any way possible: bluetooth, 2.4 ghz dongle, or straight USB with the fabric USB cable. If youre into keyboards, youll understand this: its very thocky, although Im likely going to pull the switches and give them a good lube to improve the sound. I really appreciate that they included arrow keys - thats not something you usually see in 65% keyboards. The battery life is outstanding, and it has no problem lasting forever while still running non-stop light displays. Something that isnt really mentioned in the description is there is a sliding volume key on the left side of the keyboard, and Im finding myself using it way more than I would have thought. I hope this was helpful - this is a very solid keyboard that maximizes the 65% frame, and then some.

The key actuation is pleasant and there are a lot of great bells and whistles here. The color scheme is bold and there are a lot of options for lighting that are fun but you can also turn the lights off and have a more subdued look. The volume and kvm like function being able to switch between connection allows for 2 device use. Win and Mac switch. Solid buy at this price.

The appearance of this keyboard does not come across in the photos very well, but in person this is a gem of a keyboard. the aluminum frame and the balance of features and form factor make for the best keyboard Ive ever owned. no complaints here

Its pretty light and low profile for those who travel a lot and still want the feel of mechanical switches. The switches are not lubed and pretty loud sadly.

Original 4-star review It feels super great to type on and the lights are super customizable, I have had it only a week and the only downside is that it has already run out of battery once, so the battery life is very disappointing to me. Otherwise I love it and think it is amazing, as my first mechanical keyboard I knew I wanted a low-profile one and this keyboard is great. I use it with the USB Dongle, not bluetooth so I cant say how well the bluetooth works. UPDATE 2/1/2023 - now 5 stars from 4 Battery life takes huge hit if you have the lights on for the keys all of the time. It will practically last forever (at least a month) if you only use the front lightbar, or the keyboard lights at night. So during the day, I leave the keyboard lights off and turn them on once it gets dark. The keyboard battery then lasts a very long time.

The Eksa keyboard has worked good so far, mostly for traveling. The Gateron low profile switches take a little getting used to as they are a little shallow in stroke. They are fairly quiet but the board itself can be on the medium loud side. In an office setting or on a call this probably inst the keyboard your are looking for. but is. pretty enjoyable for using alone. There is no flex in the keyboard and all of the colors of the north facing RGB are bright. I wish there was a little more control over the side LED strip to match the keys but that is a small issue. Switching between Mac and Windows easy with the switch. The slider actually works really well and controls the volume which is really handy to have immediately accessible. I had no problem connecting the keyboard in any oof the three ways. Turning the RGB off is a good way to get a little more out of the battery but I usually use a wired setup anyway. I find it to be a lot easier that way but there was no issue using in wirelessly. The included dongle works and has a really convenient holder that attaches to the cable. The cable itself is pretty good for the price point and a fabric covered usb-c cable. This is a good travel keyboard and a general use keyboard. It is nice and compact and everything works as it should. It is a little eon the more expensive side but given that it has Gateron switches, is wireless & bluetooth, and works as it should make it a very reasonable keyboard for the price. It competes with other 3-way keyboards in the same price bracket. The metal top plate gives it a little heft and makes it feel more premium. Recommended if you need a compact travel board and like the shorter throw of the Gateron low profile switches (or want to try them).

This is a good, solid keyboard. It has a great sound and feel to it, which is very impressive. I like the little volume control sliders, which was a neat little surprise. It connects easily and the battery seems to last a decent amount of time, even though its running lights. I like the cable it comes with, too--it is just as solid as the keyboard instead of feeling flimsy and weak. Overall, a good find!
