AQIRYS Libertas Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

[VSG]

The AQIRYS Libertas is a wireless 75% form factor keyboard that uses a combination of silent switches, a well-implemented gasket mount, and plenty of dampening to make for one of the quietest mechanical keyboards on the market. It also offers RGB lighting with a translucent chassis in addition to extensive software and hardware customization for a decent price.

preemptive strike

the brush is exactly the same as the one i ordered on Temu to take care of my Endorfy Thock 75% which in turn is oddly similar to that AQIRYS Libertas even the software (and about 14€ lower in price, 85€~, even if i take the brush in account, thought it would be cheaper given it doesn't have an aluminium frontplate)
the dampening foam on the PCB per switch is kinda giving me the itch to try it on the Thock ... i saw those somewhere recently ... that keyboard is indeed quieter than my Thock although not by much, so i wonder with that and some Orings (it use Kailh Box Black switches ) if it could go down even more


you might have missed it but the tool in the handle is actually for earbuds cleaning and the part that should still be in the handle is made to clean the earbuds case

Yay for 75% and 2.4GHz.
Don't get me wrong, Bluetooth is a nice additional feature to have in addition to 2.4GHz, but only as an addition - something too many keyboard manufacturers have forgotten!

i concure, my 2 keyboard, Deltaco DK440R 65% and the current Endorfy Thock 75% are wired/2.4ghz/BT

and i found hilarious that the 2 next reviewed keyboards here are 75% with volume knob, just after i bought mine , the upcoming Corsair is less interesting ... way too expensive, 1 key less than the Libertas and Thock just to put capslock and other toggle light ... at least the Libertas still has the 4 right side keys plus the toggle light and cost 60$ less


my only grip about that one (and also one i have on the upcoming Corsair ) the left placed USB-C port, the Thock has it recessed center and 3 option to route it.

TBH, I'd rather have another two keys, like End, Print Screen... Instead of (to me) useless knob and that space wasting Epomaker logo (with damn RGB) I've disabled from the beginning. Oh well...

Del, Ins, Home, End and PrntScrn are all here (in German sadly ... but i am used to it ... )
ah no, PgUp, PgDn not Home, End (but they act as home/end when Fn, the Endorfy logo on that one, is pressed, ofc)
the knob is not useless at all (for me) tho, i love the fact that it also act as a mute button, and i do adjust the volume quite often

the Libertas is good, sadly VSG only got to review the Endorfy Thock TKL
the 75% is 85€~ has an aluminium frontplate floating keys (personal but i prefer that for cleaning) the BT/RF/Wired toggle is on the side instead of bottom, the pudding keys make it clearer (neither Aqirys or Corsair got the memo that "bleeding light under the keys and the legends don't light up" is... well ... a bit dumb)

cons? well like many reviewer noted them : propritetary cable

Spoiler: (although i managed to fit a standard C plug without much hassle, so, half a cons)

must be wired for using the software and the software is a bit "meh" (eh ... i needed to use the soft only once and done, so, half a cons ) and the keycap puller, switch extractor are "meh" (corrected via Temu, with the same brush as the one here as mentioned above and the same wire keypuller/switch extractor combo as the Corsair for a bit less than 5chf )

out of the 2 (Aqirys/Corsair ) if the Thock 75% was not available, the Libertas is the best offer but Corsair has the better puller/extractor (that can be ordered without Corsair logo nonetheless )

and i agree on the Epomaker RGB logo

I don't need a volume knob on a KB, as I have the master knob not so far away.

Also I'm having trouble finding any keycap sets that have a shine trough legends and are not a damn cherry nor high profile as these I already have. I guess I like the form factor and the sound of this keyboard, nothing else.
