FAQ:
1) The keyboard cannot be used in the wired mode for the first time, or suddenly cannot be used on the Bluetooth / Wired mode
Please press the FN + Spacebar key to switch the keyboard mode and switch the keyboard to the mode you need
And you can check if the mode of the keyboard is normal by press FN key, one of Z/X/C keys light on when you pressing FN key means the key is on BT, if Z/X/C keys are not light on, it means that it is in wired mode
2) Keyboard becomes unstable or disconnected in the Bluetooth mode when you using
Please fully charge the keyboard, because when the battery is low, the keyboard cannot support the BT function normally, and BT may become unstable or disconnect
3) After the keyboard has not been used for a few days, the power of the keyboard has been exhausted
Because our keyboard does not have a physical switch, the FN TAB key can only let the keyboard enter the low-power mode and no completely powering down, so the keyboard may be placed after a few days will run out of battery
Any other problems, please don't hesitate to contact our after-sales support through Amazon message function, we will assist you to solve all problems you had met with our product

Build Quality:
This thing feels substantial, I didn't weigh it but definitely heavier than the Anne pro 2. The chassis has absolutely no flex. The switches fit snugly into the mounting plate, loose switches are fairly common on boards with optical switches (there are no pins securing them to the PCB) but these ones have no play. The key caps are thick PBT double-shot keycaps, they feel and sound great. The only reason to change them is if you have a particular aesthetic you're going for.
Feel/Use:
Feel is very subjective but I really like the Gateron optical brown switches; they're very light, smooth, and quiet, even with the "bump" at the actuation point. As I said above, the caps really do feel wonderful. The default layout of the additional key functions is great. The arrow keys are placed right alongside the function key itself, holding the function key with the pinky is simple enough that it doesn't feel like you lose dedicated arrows at all. For the "insert, home, pg up etc....." it is laid out better than any 60% board I've used. "J,K,L__M,comma, period" function as the 6 keys above the arrow keys on a full keyboard, you don't even have to look down to find them (they start right on the home row). The media keys all align with the left hand home row, it's just perfect. The downloadable software will let you customize all of your secondary functions, but the default layout is so intuitive I haven't thought to change them. Connecting bluetooth and switching devices is easy. The bluetooth latency is very low for a wireless keyboard, not good enough for competitive gaming, but plenty good for casual play or office work. I ordered some red switches to try out, but after playing a few games with the browns.... I think I'm just going to closet the reds when they arrive.
Appearance:
The only things that don't look identical to the pictures are the branding and the secondary function prints. The keyboard I received reads "DIERYA" not "KEMOVE"........ all the way a non-issue (KEMOVE is the parent company), just pointing it out. As for the function keys, the print for them is much more faint than the pictures show. I look at this as a positive; they can still be read easily in a well lit room, and are laid out so well you don't need to look at them to use them. I think the keys would be too busy if the contrast was as great as the pictures show, so again, non-issue.
My only complaint is: when I setup a static background in pink, it looked to have more purple in it than I was going for. The software will let you really go to town on the RGB action and modes, I'm sure it could be adjusted I just didn't care enough to try for a stronger pink. I doubt you'll find a much better keyboard for less than twice the cost of this one. It looks good, is at a great price, and feels much better than expected.

I doubt you'll find a much better keyboard for less than twice the cost of this one. It looks good, is at a great price, and feels much better than expected.
I use this keyboard both for office work and for gaming.
- Modularity
The major selling point with this keyboard is in my opinion the modular switches. Unlike other keyboards at this price (and many other more expensive ones) you can swap the switches out down the line. This is good for beginners because if you don't like the switches you purchase with the board, you can swap them out later.
- Switches
I purchased the board with the Browns, which feel OKAY to me. After using the switches for so long I have few complains, though I definitely have a better feel for my preferences, so down the line I'll probably buy a set of switches that are a bit more tactile for my preferences. The one complaint I have about the switches is that they seem a bit wobbly. But this isn't even close to a deal breaker because you can always invest $50 into a sturdier set of switches and still be at that budget keyboard price point.
If you are just getting into mechanical keyboards (like me) though, you probably won't be bothered.
Keys and switches also remove rather easily with the provided tools.
- Materials and Keycaps
Keycaps look great and the RGB shines through the transparent letters well making these great for working in dimly lit rooms. The plastic doesn't feel particularly premium, but it doesn't feel bad. The keys have a matte finish which is comfortable on the fingers. There are some symbols printed on the keycaps though, which have begun to fade over the course of my use. Most significantly the icons on the WASD, C, M, Win, and Tab keys. Most of these are notable in that they are used for gaming, so for pure office use, you may not experience as much wear on those keys in this time.
The keyboard overall is very solid and has a good weight to it. The entire exterior is matte black plastic to match the keys. The rubber pads on the base keep it secure during use. The white backplate reflects light from the RGB LEDs rather nicely.
The USB-C charger/wire is a great feature and gives you modularity with other wires you have or may purchase. It fits with just a bit of wobble after 6 months of use. I can't speak to how durable the connection is as I leave mine plugged in for the most part. The cable itself is a moderate quality braided cable which I haven't had issues with, though it is a bit stiff. However, the L-shaped USB-C keeps a nice, low profile.
- Bluetooth, Software, and other Premium Features
The Bluetooth is a great add-on to have and I highly recommend purchasing a board with it if you can. That being said, at least for my purposes and this board specifically, I view it as an add-on and not a key feature per se.
Following that line of thinking, it serves its purpose well, though it isn't perfect. While it during this review, I haven't had any issues at all. And my keystrokes feel very in-sync with the text on-screen. HOWEVER, you are NOT going to want to use this for hardcore gaming. There IS latency that only really becomes noticeable in activities that require quick reactions. I noticed particularly with Tetris and hardcore shooters. For playing more casual games like Red Dead Redemption 2, this really isn't an issue.
This may also come down to the Bluetooth card your PC has on its motherboard though. Also, I typically use the board at a distance of about 3 feet, but have also used it up to around 8 feet without any degradation in function.
The RGB lighting is bright enough though a bit dim in daylight and bright rooms. Considering you don't need to see it except in the dark, this isn't a huge deal. You can also program different layouts and patterns with the downloadable software which is a nice added bonus. No other board I've seen has these features at this price.
- Software
The software downloadable from the website allows you to set up different layers and layouts and RGB layouts/patterns which is nice. I honestly haven't played around with this too much due to lack of need. The software isn't pretty but it gets the job done.
- Layout
Probably my biggest issue with this keyboard is the layout. If you haven't used a 60% before, then it WILL take some getting used to. I do miss having a function row and a numpad. Although the FN key allows access to Home, End, F1, F2, etc. I did find this to be a bit cumbersome. However, this isn't a design issue as much as it is a consequence of having a 60% kb.
What I do hate about this keyboard the most is the terrible arrow key placement. I honestly don't know if there is a solution for arrow placement on a keyboard of this size (maybe opting for a smaller Right-Shift, and shifting the arrow keys right), but I can't express how much I truly disdain having to press the FN key to use them.
There are several way to remedy this a bit. First, there is an option explained in the instruction manual to make the arrow keys the default and Alt, Ctrl, ?, and the context button require the FN key. I don't find this helpful as now you have to press FN to access the ? and / characters. Second, use the software to set up a layer that suits your arrow key needs, but this doesn't seem possible because of the physical layout. Finally, MY preferred fix is to use an AutoHotkey script that makes Caps+I, +J,+ K, or +L my arrow keys.
Of course, if you're not a power user, there is also always the option to just get used to dropping your pinky onto the FN key every time you go to use the arrow keys. I'm sure I could get used to it too given the time.
- Other Problems/Issues
The only other issue I have with this keyboard that I haven't mentioned so far is that sometimes I will go to type and the keyboard will just...not type. Instead, it seems like the keys I press just buffer until they are all sent to the screen at once. However, I can't really in good faith blame this on the keyboard as I haven't taken the time to isolate whether this is caused by the keyboard itself or Windows, my PC, or AutoHotkey software.
I will say, this happens very infrequently--maybe once every 8 hours if I were to judge the frequency.
All-in-all, a great board at the price and I highly recommend it unless you are one to be bothered by a few VERY minor issues.
I could not be happier with this keyboard and for me it was worth every penny! It has become my most favorite mechanical keyboard thus far!
