WomierSK71 75% Gaming Keyboard, Aluminum Alloy Shell Wireless Mechanical Creamy Keyboard Bluetooth/2.4G/Wired Hot Swappable Key Board Pre-lubed Switches, Gasket Mounted RGB for Mac/Win (Blue)

I’ve had this keyboard for over a year now and it’s still fantastic. I LOVE the sound of the keys and the overall weight of the keyboard. I also put keycaps on but it doesn’t change the sound thankfully.

The media could not be loaded. Background About Me (You can skip this part if you're just here for the review):- I've only owned this keyboard two days.- The Womier SK71 is my first venture outside mainstream mechanical keyboards (brands like Razer, HyperX, KeyChron, Logitech, etc.)- I wouldn't classify myself as a keyboard expert or enthusiast.- As a programmer, my keyboard choice is crucial for my day-to-day work efficiency.How I ended up at the Womier SK71:After growing tired of relying solely on my MacBook for work, I decided to enhance my desk setup. My first choice was a Keychron K8, mainly because of a sale. However, after a few weeks, I realized that its clicky switches, while initially appealing, eventually became a source of annoyance. The overall experience led me to reconsider my choice. After delving into YouTube reviews (most of which were sponsored by, admittedly), I stumbled upon the Womier SK71. Despite its lower price compared to the K8 (when not on sale), it received overwhelmingly positive feedback, prompting me to give it a try.Actual Review of the Womier SK71:Packaging and Initial Impressions:- The keyboard arrived in an appealing package, but there was an odd, strong smell upon unboxing that was quite off-putting, causing a headache that lasted the entire day. It seemed to emanate from a mysterious white square wrapped in plastic.- The construction of the board is entirely aluminum, which gives it a satisfying heft and durability.Design and Customization:- The Womier SK71 includes a variety of extra keycaps, which is great for customization and "good enough" quality. I appreciated being able to swap out the baby blue keycaps for something more to my taste.- A potential downside for fellow programmers: the lack of a dedicated function row and a missing `/~ key, which I frequently use. While there are workaround commands available, it's something to keep in mind if these are crucial for your workflow.- The RGB lighting is impressively vibrant, with a unique side-lighting effect, though the non-backlit keycaps do limit the light transmission. The multiple lighting options add a nice touch.- I haven't yet experimented with the software, and I've come across some less-than-favorable reviews about it.Sound and Typing Experience:- The sound quality of this keyboard is exceptional – the best I've encountered personally. It delivers a buttery smooth auditory experience.- However, the linear switches, despite their pleasant sound, haven't won me over. As someone who has grown accustomed to tactile feedback, I find myself missing that aspect and am considering a switch swap.- When used for gaming, the keyboard performed flawlessly. It was highly responsive and seamlessly switched between my MacBook and PC.Final Thoughts:The Womier SK71 is a solid choice for those venturing outside the realm of mainstream mechanical keyboards. It offers a premium feel, commendable customization options, amazing value, and an auditory experience that's hard to beat. However, its appeal might vary for users like programmers who rely heavily on certain keys and feedback types. Despite its minor drawbacks, it stands out as a strong contender in its price range and is worth considering for both keyboard novices and enthusiasts looking for a different experience.

It’s so beautiful and enjoyable to type on!I am very picky about keyboard layout. This one was the closest I could find to being ideal for me. (I’d prefer a physical ~ key but karabiner solves that problem for me)The build quality is beautiful and the price is right. The weight of the thing makes me happy.There are a million positive reviews on this keyboard, for very good reason.Things I like:The three way connection is PERFECTI can turn the lights off and they stay offSeparated physical arrow keys are easy to find by feel

This keyboard feels and sounds like a high-quality, precision instrument. And that’s because it IS a high-quality, precision instrument. The look and feel of it are just absolutely premium. Heck, even just holding it in my hand is rewarding.And the sound! I am a relative newbie to the mechanical keyboard scene, and I’ve never quite understood why people were so obsessed with “thock.” I sure get it now, though.I didn’t think I liked linear switches, but these Outemu Whites are fantastic and offhand I can’t think of anything else that would be an improvement in this board. Just for fun I tried a few different Kaihl Box switches and a Gazzew Boba last night. I liked these OEM factory-lubed Outemus better than all of them.I love to mod things, but I don’t feel the need to change or mod or upgrade even one part of this keyboard. The switches are smooth and perfect, none of the stabilizers rattle, and the keycaps are high-quality and gorgeous. I see online that some guys are doing the painter’s tape mod, but that seems kind of pointless to me (I mean how much better could this thing possibly sound). Maybe I’ll try it later out of sheer curiosity. But probably not, because I’m lazy.I got this keyboard primarily to use in wireless mode, on my couch, with my TV as a monitor (and yes, it’s great for that). But it’s so good that it has instantly become my main keyboard, and I’ll be using it everywhere.I only have one small complaint regarding quality control. There’s a place on the bottom-right edge where the paint (or powder coating or whatever) came off and somebody tried to hide it with a Sharpie. I recently did the same thing myself on a piece of audio equipment, which is why I recognize it here. From certain angles, in bright light, it looks red (see photo). But honestly, I don’t even care. When I was younger, this kind of thing would have bugged the crap out of me, but at 63 it just doesn’t seem very important. It would be different if it were visible all the time, but I can’t see it unless I look for it, so no harm no foul. I won’t be returning it.This is my end-game keyboard.

This has been a great purchase. The typing feel and sound is very satisfying. Quality key feel and feels like it’s constructed very well. Battery life is about 2 weeks for my use. I love the color. Size is perfect for my needs. One issue I had was the dongle quit working after about 3 months, but the Bluetooth capability is great. As to the dongle issues, it could be an issue with my computer, but I haven’t attempted to use it on a different system.

This keyboard is a perfect blend of durability, performance, and aesthetics! The anodized aluminum alloy frame gives it a premium feel, while the gasket-mounted design ensures a smooth and satisfying typing experience. With hot-swappable switches, customizable RGB, and a long-lasting battery, it’s a fantastic choice for gamers and typists alike!
