One of the best Mechanical Blue Switch Keyboards in its price segment.
The positive's of this are:1. The keys are tactile and responsive2. Its very easy to clean3. It feels quite durable.4. Blue keys with very good sound. (Are very loud if use near to roommate/parents💀)5. 10KL means less space, perfect for me in my gaming setup. My laptop already has all the other keys I would need.The negative points are:1. There are no (flip) legs.2. The keys are tightly secured to the keycaps and are somewhat difficult to remove if you don't have the correct tool and technique.3. The backlight only shows up on the keys/numbers. The alternate key function (F1, F2, F3, etc) are printed with grey/white color, so unless you got direct light on the keyboard, they wont be visible with the backlight.4. Little hard to find the shortcuts in the first few months, especially if you already had habit from another keyboard.If you get this KB for Rs 2300 or less, go for it. Its a good 10 keyless keyboard for gaming. If you are programmer or often use the keypad, then this is a poor choice of mechanical keyboard.

Best budget 60% keyboard!
The media could not be loaded. The review will be straightforward. I am using it for the past few months daily for gaming and coding mostly. I purchased the keyboard for Rs. 2,060 on Amazon. Delivery was on time but the package I recieved was tampered with, missing the UBS c cable and key cap puller. So I had to replace the product. Anyway received a good one later on.the keyboard shortcuts are inbuilt.fn+q = vol downfn+w = vol upfn+e = mutefn+z = previous/rewindfn+x = play pausefn+c = next/forwardfn+v = stopfn+h = insertfn+b = deletefn+j = homefn+n = endfn+k = pageupfn+m = pagedownfn+i = scroll lockfn+o = numlock (don't know why even xD)fn+esc = `(tildeHere are the pros and cons of the keyboard.Pros.Compact. Doesn't take up much space on my table.Build quality is good enough for the price.Mechanical switches are blue outemu. Great sound.Braided cable is long enough.RGB with diffuser plate looks superb and bright with actual RGB controls not static row colors.All keys are anti ghosting. Tested myself.Cons.No height adjustable leverage on the back.No drainage hole beneath the keyboard.The spacebar kind of gives way after rough use. Double clicks sometimes but it's okay.Arrow keys are on the function key. So you have to press fn to use the arrow keys.The usb c port on the keyboard is a bit loose for my liking. Could have been in the frame or something.Overall best bang for buck budget 60% keyboard.

Close but no Cigar
The media could not be loaded. I'm writing this review on this very keyboard after 2 days of extensive usage. So far it does what it's supposed to do and is pretty decent for the price but it has some flaws.The whole body is made of plastic and is fairly lightweight relative to other larger sized mechanical keyboards from the same company, but still better than membrane ones. The keys using stabilizers rattle, wobble and tick a bit, it's not not bad but still can be annoying. It can fixed using some mods. Outemu Blue are almost similar in feel but just little more sharper click than the real CherryMX Blue. There is no height adjustment option on this but that can be fixed by adding extra rubber feet using double sided tape and sheet rubber from a cycle tyre tube or something. Use your imagination if you dare enough to open and mod your keyboard.The keyboard has a certain metallic after-ring when keys are tapped which I guess is because of the hollow body that will need to filled with some tape and foam. I have attached a video to showcase the issue. But at this price, you cannot really complain much.This is definetly aimed at power users, so maybe don't buy this as your first ever keyboard. A TKL would make much more sense. You have to get used to the fact that the arrow keys are not available readily and you will have to access them pressing the Fn button with your right pinky and arrow keys with index, ring, middle. There is software sure for macros, key swaps and lighting profiles which is nice but I only wish there was option to edit and set shortcut key combinations with the Fn key in the keyboard firmware itself which will help soo much in raising the value of this keyboard. Right now I'm using Win + key modifiers to emulate Del and Print Screen using Microsoft Power Toys app. Till now I haven't found the option for Fn Lock with backlight indicator of it's on off state that would be a great help too making the arrow keys easier to use.I'm not a big RGB buff but ya, the RGB effects are cool and stuff. No complaints there. Infact I think you may need the RGB on this because the letters on the keycaps are a bit hard to make out if backlighting is off. This is subjective but I actually like the keycap font on this better than the Firefly or Pandora because of it's classy and less gamery look and it does not have that 'Switch to God Mode' tag-line on the Space Bar that I absolutely cannot stand.A few suggestions, please update the sofware with the option to edit Fn + key combinations which will be soo much better than hardwiring some keys to the RGB cycle, brightness and speed. The following combinations make soo much more sense but it is sad that they can't be edited by the user.Fn key Toggle optionFn + Esc = Tilde console keyFn + Backspace = DelFn + P = Prnt ScrnMy first choice was the Artemis which has dedicated DEL, Page UP Down and arrow keys, but that was out of stock. Themis is a very decent keyboard for the price but it definetly won't be your end all be all compact keyboard if it lacks such software key customizations.
