KLIM Light V2

I ordered one of these wanting to replace my existing keyboard, but not wanting to spend a huge amount of money on the replacement. The KLIM keyboard seemed reasonably priced, and given that I didn't read the product description in great detail, I expected that when the keyboard arrived I would have to pop some AA batteries in or something.I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it up to find that not only does it have a built in battery, but that the charging port is a USB-C port (the keyboard comes supplied with a charging cable). That is some nice, forward thinking design and not the kind of thing you tend to see on the lower end of tech items.After pairing the keyboard with my laptop (about as simple as plugging in the receiver), the RGB back lighting lit up with a pleasant rainbow effect. It comes with an adjustable level of brightness, and looks nice enough without being really distracting. It's worth pointing out that you cannot adjust the colour layout or anything, the pattern is fixed.I'll rattle off the other features that I like about the keyboard:- The keypad feels nice and firm, and the keys have a nice profile, they don't sit too far out from the keyboard- There's a full right number pad (as you would probably expect)- There are the standard function bindings, which are toggled using the function key as you would expect. Some keyboards inexplicably have the alternate functions mapped to the default input action, with the actual fn keys mapped when the function button is held down, fortunately this keyboard doesn't do that.- You can still use it if it is plugged in, although you'll still need 2 free USB slots since the charging cable is independent of the receiver.- The ability to use it as a wireless keyboard if desired is handy.- It's reasonably quiet when typing- The battery life claims on the product specification, if true, sound pretty good. 26 hours of use with the back light on full brightness. I haven't used the keyboard for long enough to verify this yet.And now for some of the cons to keep in mind:- I don't know if I would consider this a true gaming keyboard, it seems better suited to general office use than heavy gaming. Since I don't do a lot of PC gaming this isn't really an issue for me- The on/off slider on the back of the keyboard feels a little bit loose- The battery indicator will light up red when the battery level hits 10%, it might be good if it had more levels of indication- This comes with the plastic stands on the back to raise the keyboard angle, but they can only adjust to one position, it might be nicer if they had more positions than thatOverall I'd say all of my gripes with the keyboard are pretty minor, and all in all it's pretty solid for the price point. I'd feel comfortable recommending this item to someone looking for a new keyboard who doesn't want to break the bank.

This has been a sturdy keyboard and a good addition to my set up. The price is very reasonable for those on a budget and it does everything you want and more. The battery life is pretty good and gives you a warning light when it needs recharging. The feel of the keyboard is nice and gives a little of the mechanical feel although it’s a membrane keyboard.The other great thing about the keyboard are the manufacturers KLIM. They offer a 5 year warranty which is pretty good you have to say.Because I use my keyboard for gaming you can imagine that certain keys begin to wear. I contacted customer service to see if I could get replacement keys, but they replaced the keyboard for me. Their customer service is absolutely fantastic if you have any issues.If you’re a little unsure about buying this keyboard, I would say take a leap and go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

It's a full size keyboard. It's wireless. Had absolutely zero issues with connection. The entire keyboard has rainbow coloured back lights when you enable them (from left to right the colours go green, yellow, orange, red, purple, then blue). The lights cannot be re-programmed and there are 3 levels of brightness. Having moved away from a laptop it took me a little while to get used to a mechanical keyboard again, but its absolutely fine. You can type perfectly on it. With the lights turned off the power lasts ages, If you have the lights on, you'll need to re-charge the keyboard every 3 or 4 days (more frequently if you use the keyboard for long periods of time). Happy with the keyboard. No complainrts.

I am very hard on keyboards and needed to replace my old Microsoft 850 wireless keyboard (many of the key decals had worn away in under a year). I bought both the standalone KLIM Light V2 keyboard and the KLIM Tandem wireless keyboard and mouse set (I believe it is the same keyboard). One of the things that persuaded me to try this keyboard was how quickly the KLIM team responded to some queries I had - customer service seems to be very important to them.I have been using this keyboard now for a couple of weeks now and it hasn't missed a beat. I have found the keyboard keys (membrane) to be very nicely weighted with a good positive action and reasonably quiet (most of the noise is coming from me being so heavy handed. The chassis (plastic) is very sturdy with no flex. I use the keyboard mostly for work so it gets battered for about 7-10 hours per day and, despite it being 8 days since I last charged it, there is no sign of the low battery light yet (although I have mostly had the backlighting turned off).I particularly like- that it has num lock and caps lock lights (missing from my previous keyboard).- two little legs underneath to raise the back of the keyboard (I might have liked a little bit higher, but that is personal preference)- vertical full size 'Return' key on main keyboard (I make too many typos on keyboards with the horizontal 'Return' key)- backlighting is easy to turn off and on and to set brightness to one of 3 levels)Suggestions- make the feet to elevate the back slightly taller- produce a monochrome version (blue or white light)Overall I am absolutely delighted with my KLIM keyboards and believe them to be great value for money.
