Tesoro Gram XS Red Ultra-Slim Mechanical Switch Chicklet Style Keycap RGB Backlit Illuminated Mechanical White Ultra-Low Profile Keyboard

The keyboard looks amazing, but it largely stops there. I have two main gripes with the keyboard: 1.) The Micro USB connector is bad. It might just be this specific keyboard, but if I so much as move the keyboard it gets disconnected. When I first connected it, a giant portion of the keyboard wouldn't light up, but it worked. I decided to reconnect it, and it simply stopped working. Rebooted my computer, and I was able to get it to function fully; it still disconnects easily. I believe all of these issues are related to the poor USB connection. 2.) Large/Long keys require either precise hits or hard hits. In particular, the spacebar and the shift keys. You have to hit right near the switch, otherwise, you risk not triggering it. Beyond those two issues, the action on the keyboard is lacking--I definitely type slower on this than I do the Tesoro Gram Spectrum, for instance (bought it by mistake thinking it was this keyboard. It's a considerably better keyboard, though I personally don't like the aesthetics). I'm not a proper typist, but I would imagine any 'touch typists' would find this keyboard even more infuriating.

Pros: it looks great. The LEDs are fantastic. The size and weight feel perfect. The light, linear keys feel good. Cons: RMAed the first one for a non-registering W key. Replaced after a lot of back and forth but hey, they replaced it. And now the E key misfires more than 75% of the time. I really want to love this keyboard but after 4 sentences I just want to throw it out the window. A shame really, but maybe they'll fix it. I'd rate it 2.5stars if I could. If it wasn't the unreliability in such a basic function and a loose wire connection and no height adjustment it really would be the perfect keyboard.

Insanely gorgeous keyboard and a pleasure to type on, but be forewarned it's enthusiastically loud (louder than my roommate's Corsair K95 with red switches, even adjusting for relative distances). Given non-Cherry switch design, O-rings aren't really viable (there's a question response over on one of the Havit low profile keyboards claiming they got O-rings to work on an almost-identical switch design though, FWIW) so look elsewhere if the noise would bother you like it did me. Did end up returning, but oh I loved everything else about it... The chiclet keys might not be for everyone, too - I've been on scissor-switch keyboards for several years now so I'm accustomed to their quirks and in fact traditional mechanical keys feel awkward now, which is part of why I was looking forward to this keyboard so much. Ah well.

typing with ths keybbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboard. red switch is garbage. feels really weird. I keep accidentally pressing keys without realizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing it. Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwith red switches you cannot know at allllllll, if you hve pressed the key, or nottttttttttttt. Sometimes I am typing, andthen I stop to read something, and then suddenly screen starts going apes#@t, and I am like wtf is going on, and then i'm like omg i was accidentally holding down some L or F key or whatever. So fu@#in' stupid. Don't buy red switch - it's trash. Very poor choice of switches from tesoro - red and blue - the worst ones. This is why they get low stars along with the red switch. Also, space bar is terrible. It's very hard to press. I press it, but it works only 50% of the time. I need to slam hard on it, otherwise, it'll not work. UPDATE! Changed 2 stars to 1 star - the keyboard randomly stopped working forever. It doesn't turn on anymore. I think it just burned or something. Do not buy it - it's a waste of money, which is very sad because it's the only slim full sized white mechanical keyboard, but still don't buy it because what's the point, if it's gonna break on you in a month? Better get something more reliable, and resistant, and at least make sure, you won't have to spend money again. :(((

This keyboard has a few flaws that has made me return this product... I have to admit the looks of this keyboard is gorgeous. But! I did not enjoy the oversized keys, and the wobbling of it and the super sensitivity.. as well as not registering a few letters which is why i believe this keyboard isn't good for gaming which is mostly based on counting on the precision of the keys. It was not comfortable to play video games with but I believe if you use this products for anything but gaming you should be golden, unfortunately it isn't worth the price... I have found a better keyboard for the same price. ALSO I did not like that the cable was detachable due to it being possibly disconnected or breaking.

A few of my keys took multiple presses to register keystrokes. It became bothersome enough to return. It looks great, but the performance is disappointing. The micro-usb connector also regularly felt like it might fall out.
