Top reviews
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Pros:
Extremely quiet keyboard that feels good to type on and decent build quality; also quite responsive.
Dedicated quick keys
8 levels of brightness (7 levels of lighting, 1 for completely off)
Evenly distributed backlighting
Easy to read letter/numbers/symbols.
Adjustable keyboard stand.
Perfect for an office or other environment where low noise is a must.
Keyboard's letters/numbers/symbols look pretty clean even when no backlighting is used (in an adequately lit environment where backlighting is not needed).
Cons:
No solid color selections (stuck with rainbow layout - might be distracting to some).
No wrist rest.
Indifferent/Oddities
Lighting effects - breathing effects with 6 speeds, and response mode (keys light up when struck, and has 6 adjustable decay times for lighting to go off (does anyone really use either of these?)
SCROLL LOCK indicator is swapped with a WINDOWS LOCK indicator (locks windows key and shows up a "W" when lit). Not a dealbreaker for me but might be for some if they use scroll lock a lot)
Keys might feel somewhat "sticky" or "mushy" at first but you get used to it.
The bottom line:
While the rainbow backlight may first come across as distracting, it's not obnoxiously bright and has levels of brightness that can suit any user. I got used to it pretty quickly. The LED's are placed correctly underneath as this keyboard gives off very even illumination on the majority of the keyboard - the only exception to this is the row of 8 quick keys which do not have transparent symbols on them and the border lighting is pretty weak in this area - another led underneath this row would have probably helped a lot. It's a minor issue at best, however. What's more is if you are not working in low lighting conditions it can be turned off and it still gives the appearance of a cleanly laid out keyboard with decent clarity on the letters/symbols and numbers.
In regard to the lighting effects - you get the breathing effect with 6 available speed cycles and also a response mode which basically means the keyboard will remain unlit until a key is struck and then the backlighting will fade out again when typing stops (6 levels of decay time available). You can also run with solid lighting and 8 levels of brightness (actually the lowest setting just turns the backlight off completely so it is really 7 levels of actual brightness) and you also have the option of turning off the backlighting completely. Only these last two features are of any use to me personally as I find breathing, color scrolling and any of those other cutesy light effects to be distracting and quite frankly - annoying. All the same - this keyboard has some the lighting effects available if you must have that going on.
One side note here - I have read and heard some complaints that this keyboard doesn't retain its backlight settings after the computer is turned off. Perhaps while the older versions of this may have had this problem, the 2023 version does not - I can confirm it retains the backlighting preferences even after the computer is shut off overnight.
What I would love to see with this model: A version that just offers solid color backlighting with selectable colors along with the 8 levels of brightness and none of the silly effects. I would even settle for just plain old white backlighting with the brightness controls, personally.
This is quite possibly the most comfortable keyboard I have ever typed on - at the very least it ranks pretty high up in my own experience (and I have literally typed on hundreds of different models over my lifetime). The keys are soft to the touch and feel quite smooth - there is no evident friction on keystroke releases and the thing is literally silent. Even tapping hard it still won't be very audible. The keys also have little or no wobble to them and I would say there is almost zero chance that a key would get stuck on one of its edges in the keyboard chassis.
One thing to note however - when one first types on this keyboard they may get the sense of the keys feeling sticky or mushy - and this is especially true if you are coming from a mechanical style keyboard. If one needs the clicky sound/mechanical feedback then this probably isn't the keyboard for you.
If you prefer low noise laptop style keys and need a very quiet and responsive keyboard to avoid annoying coworkers in your office or sleeping roommates or whatever else - then this keyboard is a MUST HAVE. Bar none, this is the quietest keyboard I have ever used and easily in the top three most comfortable keyboards (and yes I have used much much more expensive keyboards in my day) as well.
One oddity about this keyboard are the lock lights - while the CAPS LOCK and NUMBER LOCK indicators are present there is no indicator for SCROLL LOCK. Instead the last lamp for this is actually for WINDOWS LOCK (lights up as a "W"), which basically locks the windows key up to prevent microsoft menus from being accidentally popped up. This is not an issue for me as I do not use scroll lock very much, but it may be for people who do use this feature a lot.
Also this keyboard sports flip out stands, so it can be run completely flat or at the standard angle, and the build quality overall is quite good considering this keyboard sells for around $15-$20. The addition of 13 dedicated quick keys is also nice and the plastic used in the casing of this keyboard is quality enough and heavy enough that it is a bit less prone to sliding around on smooth surfaces than lighter keyboards
If I had any initial concerns, it would be how well the keys hold up from wear over time. Since this is a pretty cheap keyboard there is the possibility of the letters getting worn off over time or possibly keys start getting stuck and stuff like that. I've only had mine for a few days so I cannot comment on this.
I was very skeptical about the Acebaff CK230UL when I first came across it. But even if this were to only last 2-3 years - it is still an absolute steal at this price. There is a lot to like about this keyboard. Definitely recommended.
The issues I have are the RGB Lights are fixed in place, their are not changing the patterns and it does not have any wave or other effects short of 'Breathing' and Keystroke flash. For this price point I was just amazed it even had any light effects at all, so it's not really an issue just an observation. They are VERY bright as well, so glad I can turn the brightness down without having to turn them out.
I am happy with the Keyboard, it feels much nicer than I had expected out of this price point and does not feel hollow or overly cheap. Glad this entry level purchase was a good one I can recommend.
Gave it 5 Stars overall, because it's a very good entry level 'Cheap' Keyboard that feels higher quality than it should.

I'm docking a star because while I do like it, it didn't feel right for me while gaming. Particularly the F1 - F12 keys were not spaced apart like I'm used to and I do use those for hotkeys sometimes. I had to look down at my keys sometimes to try and figure out where my fingers were and I couldn't do it just by touch alone. Might be a learning curve thing but my hands just know my fatter, deep, full keyboards feel and I'm not going to mess with that muscle memory. On an old keyboard I can put my hand down on the WASD keys without even looking but this one took some adjusting for me.
Anyways, I have a Pudding Key keyboard, which was fun until my team mates were making comments how agressive I was with my keyboard. I have had a wireless, Bluetooth keyboard but that was annoying to remember to charge it all the time. This time around, I knew what I was looking for. I really thought that some of the name brands would have something that fits the bill. After reading review afer review, I was about to give up until I came accross this one.
First off, I thought it was too good to be true. How can an inexpensive keyboard have so many great reviews? Once I plugged it in, I began to realize why it is so highly rated. The keys are like typing on pillows. If you are a heavy typer (like me), the keys are still really gentle. I can hardly hear myself type.
Win #1!!
The keyboard is a standard size with all the numeric and F keys that you may need. There really arent too many bells and whistles with this one but I am okay with that. The lighting funtionality is limited to contstant or breathing, which I found distracting. You can also brighten or dim the backlight. So far, this keyboard has hit all of the things I was looking for.
Win #2!!
Downside (if there really is one). The keys are a little slippery and it took me a while to figure out my hand placement when typing. I attribute this to formerly typing on a mechanical keyboard. I have had it a few weeks now and I have found my groove.
All in all, this is a good bang for your buck kind of keyboard!
