Priced competitively, it manages to deliver a sturdy construction without compromising on quality. It’s durable enough for daily use, and the finish is sleek and minimalist, offering a modern look that fits well with any desk setup.

The lighting is vibrant and customizable, offering a range of effects that can be easily adjusted through software or keyboard shortcuts. You can choose from a variety of pre-set profiles or create your own, with the ability to tweak brightness and speed. The RGB illumination provides a captivating glow that enhances your gaming or typing experience, making it a visual treat without breaking the bank. In terms of performance, the keyboard base is surprisingly good for its price. The layout and key switch compatibility ensure smooth typing and gaming. While the base itself doesn’t come with switches or keycaps, it’s highly compatible with most standard key switches, making it an excellent base for custom builds. The mounting options for stabilizers are stable, and the base doesn’t flex much, even under heavy use, which is a nice bonus at this price point.

Review: Great Barebones board - I order the first one which 2 keys did not work, i believe this was due to water damage because it was heavily raining the day it was delivered. I returned it and got another one back and it works perfectly fine. The software is pretty good and all the led features work and it also works with signal rgb which is a huge advantage, but you do have to disable the glorius software first. I got gatreon brown linear switches and it is very quite, and has a very nice feel to it. The noise level is perfect for my needs and is not picked up by any mics. I did buy the Barebones, which was a pretty good price. the keycaps I got with it are https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0D541DJWW/?coliid=I20UVEF1S9QNY6&colid=8IWVDSFIR9KI&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 note this is not an affiliates link.
