Aukey effectively replaces their excellent value for money KM-G8 keyboard with the new KM-G6. It keeps the same Outemu Blue mechanical switches and doubleshot-injected keycaps, while adding multi-color backlighting with many lighting effects and onboard controls at that same attractive price point.

I had two outemu brown switches die on my AZIO after 4 months of use. Lucky for me it was the right ALT and "9" on numpad. So yeah... great value is only great if you don't end up with something like a dead enter or dead spacebar.

Bought it and the key caps wore out in weeks playing PUBG... and the different colour backlighting would have been so much better if it had been a single solid colour. But great feel for typing
