The Ajazz AC064 is weird, with the design seemingly taking a few challenges to heart but being let down by that budget it perhaps had to adhere to. There are so many things which almost hit the mark, including programmed lighting effects and a good battery, but we then see there is no key-mapping option, and the time it takes for the LEDs to turn off in wireless mode is a whopping 10 minutes of no activity. There's also the part where this is a small form factor keyboard that offers nothing on top of the base layer, making it impossible to get functions such as Pg Up, Print Screen, etc., without using a third-party tool, such as AutoHotkey. There are no layers or software support, making this an extremely difficult proposition for keyboard enthusiasts, who are the type to like the build quality.

Or is it? It's easier to convince the average layperson that this thick aluminium keyboard is a high-quality one, and the shortcomings lie in the details, which may not be caught as easily. Modding the keyboard is quite an intensive process, and keycap compatibility is low. As an assembled keyboard or otherwise, this kit is perhaps best-suited to those who are happy with the relatively unique layout and do not wish to change anything about it. At that point, you might as well get the assembled keyboard since it no doubt saves on the cost of individual items, and the aesthetics are on point. There is a lot to like here, but things irk me about the shortcuts taken, or just the lack of attention to detail, so much so that only a very specific crowd should get it.
