Even comes with a extra 6 switches, over all I am amazed at what I got for just $18 Shipped (if you have prime)

I put my puddin caps on it, and now it looks AMAZING! Link to the Key Caps, only $10.99, so $20~ keyboard, $12~ caps, is $32 in goodness

Sounds nice, but why does it need a battery? Is it not USB, which supplies power? Does it work at all if I don't put a battery in it?

 

[funboy6942]

Battery??

 

[Jimminy]

Battery??

The amazon page says it uses a AAA battery. Some of the reviews mention it too. I han't figure out what the hell it's for.

Applicable to a different model that is no longer sold on this page. (looks like a Bluetooth KB/mouse combo)

Amazon allows sellers to aggregate products this way, onto one page. It's sometimes annoying.

If "KOORUI" gives you an actual warranty, this seems like a decent deal.
At a glance, about $13 for similar (?) non-branded KB on AliExpress.

How does one know EXACTLY what he'll get after ordering from such a page? I can't figure it out. That's one reason I rarely order from bezos. So much rubbish on each product page, but I guess it worked for him, cause he's flying around in his spaceship

OP already bought one, so that's what you would get. Fairly easy return if Amazon botches fulfillment, but in my own experience since 1998, that seldom happens. Sometimes they package poorly and stuff gets damaged; they rarely send me a completely different item.

IMHO the largest risks buying on Amazon are a couple types of items: microSD cards (and other flash storage) are heavily faked, and nutritional supplements are a Wild West of sellers and sketchy products. I do buy select vitamins off of Amazon, but I probably shouldn't lol. I don't recall receiving outright fake merch from Amazon, but many people insist it's rampant.*

If the new tariffs aren't canceled, presumably a lot of goods will be much more expensive within weeks, if not days.

* Here's a fun one:

Fake Ryzen 7 9800X3D bought from Amazon was actually an old AMD FX chip disguised by IHS sticker

The outer packaging of this new sold-by-Amazon chip looked perfect, though.

Supposedly quieter version (not mechanical I guess): https://www.amazon.com/KOORUI-Keyboard-Computer-All-Metal-Gamers-Black/dp/B0D3LK8H5T/

The typing sensation of this keyboard is between mechanical and regular keyboards

Not Mechanical but that seems like a great deal if you got a kid that destroys mice and keyboards or just need something cheap.

Yeah, last order i did was for a two pack of amazon basics rechargeable batteries. They sent ONE battery.

After complaining, I received the original 2-pack as ordered, so I came out a battery ahead. Still not worth all the hassle though.

Thanks, good to know it's not a mechanical keyboard. I almost ordered one.

Good to know it’s not actually mechanical, I was about to grab one too. Still, for $18 with RGB and extra switches, not bad if you just need a cheap spare.

 

[funboy6942]

Ive owned a lot of keyboards, cheap and expensive ($100~) and I have to say I am very impressed with this cheapo. Ive yet to have a missed keystroke, and there is the same keyboard being sold by another seller for around $25, if I can find it and you'd rather pay more Ill link it

So not quite the same, but about $10 on AliExpress if you need a cheap one? I noticed a few price cuts today, seems like the Chinese are trying to clear inventory before tariffs kick in.
