****4 stars down to 3 stars, see edit at end of review**** I just received this less than an hour ago, so this is a very early first impression. Im typing this review out on the keyboard using blutooth with my ipad as a test. I have already tested it with my windows 10 PC using the 2.4ghz receiver that comes with the keyboard (and is stored below the keyboard foot. I would have prefered a more secure storage location, but any storage location at all is still a plus. Many keyboard dont give you a place to store the receiver when not in use. PROS -Excellent connectivity options is the highlight of this keyboard. -Nice concave keys with an almost hard jelly like feel. -Very nice colouring on the black and lilac version (ombre effect with black at the bottom and the function keys full light lilac. Very pretty. I should say the black is more of a very deep purple. -Deep/long keystrokes which is a personal preference of mine. -Dial for volume and backlight level (although there isnt enough granularity on the light levels. Only about three or four levels, and no real dim option) CONS: -I would say the biggest con is just a slight bit of key lag. It’s not terrible. It’s barely perceptable. But it is there and is probably the most frustrating aspect. It is apparent in blutooth and with the receiver -A bit too much resistance on the keys -No dedicated pairing key (Escape - Q to pair which is the oddest pairing Ive ever seen and very unintuitive. And there is no indication on the keyboard that this is the pairing combination. Im so purplexed why manufacturers of the cheeper wireless keyboards arent adding a pair button. -“LED screen” is not LED at all. I guess maybe there are led light that light up behind the cutout symbols for about seven different indicators (blutooth, charging, 2.4Ghz , and some sort of percentage that doesnt seem related to anything I can determine yet. Doesnt seem to be power level. This makes this keyboard feel more like a kids toy than a higher end keyboard. For the price, dont call it an LED screen if it really isnt. -No light through the keys. Only between the keys. -There is no click feel to the keys which is a personal preference. Well, there is sort of a click, but it’s a soft muchy type of click. Not a true click like a good mechanical keyboard. I have a silent mechanical keyboard that is the best of both worlds, but it is quite expensive. So this one can be forgiven, and it does have somewhat of a mechanical keyboard feel. -There seems to be a problem with my power switch. It doesnt have enough play, is opposite in direction than expected (left is on, right is off), and it can slide to off too easily. -The battery indicator on my keyboard doesnt seem to work. If the percentage is indeed the charge level, then it is stuck at 85%. And the battery symol isnt lit, and only shows one bar. It hasnt moved even though Ive been charging for half an hour with a good usb-c cable and charge block. -The right side of the keyboard feels a bit squished. I wouldnt want this for my everyday keyboard or office keyboard. The overall size seems similar to a standard keyboard, but for some reason I have slightly more miss-strokes / wrong letters with this keyboard which I can only attribute to an odd feel on the right side. But this is an okay compromise to have a more compact keyboard to use with my entertainment devices. -The usb-c cable cant be used as a wired keyboard. Only to charge (according to the instructions) So this is clearly a cheep low end keyboard that is more toy than serious keyboard. But that doesnt take away from how useful it is. And the typing experience is fine. I just hope over time the key resistance will decrease/soften up. Where this is extremely useful is in it’s 3 connection options. 2.4GHz and 2 bluetooth. That is extremely useful for my needs, so I will definitely be keeping and using this keyboard regularly despite its drawbacks. But I wouldnt pay more than $35 CAD for this “toy” ****edit*** So I have come across a more than a minor fault. Im reducing my stars to encourage the manufacturer to rectify this. Charging time. This keyboard only draws 1W of power to charge. This is insanely low. 5W would be low. A modern device should draw at least 10 to 15 watts. And some of the fast charging devices on the market now even more. Wireless charging can exceed 10 watts these days. For a wired charging device to charge at 1w is very poor. The digital display I mention above is indeed % charged. But it was so slow to charge, the numbers took for ever to climb just 1%. After several hours it raised by 5%. I cant imagine how long this device would take to charge from 10 or 20 percent. So dont expect this to be useful for travel. And the battery symbol doesn't seem to have any purpose. It is permanently stuck at 1 bar. Something fishy here. Read more

The ZIYOU LANG M75 Wireless Gaming Keyboard is a budget keyboard, and you get what you pay for. This keyboard attempts many of the same “budget” functions as those of keebs that are 3x the cost, but as one would expect, falls short on many of those offerings. Foremost, it features dual or tri-mode connections with multiple pairing options for Bluetooth, as well as a 2.4GHz dongle, stored under one of the legs on the back. The USB is for charging only. It has a dedicated slider switch for BT1, BT2, and 2.4G connections. It doesn’t have a dedicated key for switch functions, but you do have to press a key combination for pairing, which can be confusing. This could have been programmed into the dedicated button as a long press or a similar function. This isn’t surprising, especially for a 75% keyboard, but it’s still a pain. It has a multimedia knob that also control the backlighting brightness. The keys do not shine through the RGB, which defeats the purpose of the backlighting; however, this is not surprising and is typical of these budget boards. The LCD is more generic in this case and is simply a static segmented display, but it still effectively conveys the necessary information. It is kind of bright, and it can’t be turned off or dimmed. Similarly, like other compact keyboards, there are multiple shortcut combos, so it is handy to have a cheatsheet nearby while learning the various functions. For a compact keyboard, I also find it to be a thick board. Not a big deal, but it loses some of the portability factor. The biggest drawback of this board is the noticeable lag. It doesn’t seem to make a difference when using the receiver or BT. Likewise, the keys have too much resistance, and it feels difficult to type after a few minutes. Likewise, I pulled one of the keys, and it is NOT a mechanical keyboard. Overall, for the price, it can’t be beat since it has many of the mechanical kb features; however, the price you pay is in quality. It’s clear that components are of lower quality, which is reflected in everything about this board. Since the keys aren't mechanical, there is no way to upgrade the keys. Even if you could, why would you? This one will likely become a “lab” keyboard to use when troubleshooting equipment in the server room at my work, as long as the battery holds out. Can’t recommend this one, though. Read more

I collect keyboards and have done many reviews. Check my profile for keyboard reviews. I like to start a keyboard review of what your getting hardware wise. This is a compact membrane keyboard that has multiple connection options including Bluetooth (two profiles can be stored) and 2.4Ghz. The main standout features are a clickable jog dial and display to show keyboard mode as well as battery level. This keyboard has a combined multi-media and function key row and modified navigation cluster layout that is vertical between the primary keys and the LCD display. There is one extra key next to the F12 key which is reserved for the DEL key out of the box. There are fixed RGB lights in a rainbow arrangement backing the keys with adjustable brightness and a breathing mode that has an adjustable rate of "breathing" from a slow fade to a disco flash. Build wise the whole design is black plastic. Deck flex is almost non existent as is deck bounce. These are medium impact membrane actuated keys that are very quiet. The spacebar does have a little chatter as it bounces up but the rest of the keys are very, very quiet. Aesthetic wise the colorway I have is light to dark purple key rows. I like the aesthetic and the RGB LED's does help it stand out even more. Key layout wise I think a ton of good decisions were made here. Most of the time when you get these compact keyboards there are choices to be made at what keys you keep and what ones go --- in this case the navigation cluster was pretty much completely retained and the best of the navigation cluster (HOME, END, PGUP, PGDN) were kept as the defaults. The decision to include a dedicated DEL key is also a good move if you ask me. There is no function lock feature so if you want to use any of the media keys or modifiers you have to use the FN key of which there is just one on the east side of the space bar. There is a key map modifier for Mac and PC keyboard modes if you want to use this on your favorite Apple devices. This keyboard has a dual kick stand incline so you can choose which one you like the best. The keyboard is light on one hand but also feels sold on the desk. Rubber feet keep it form sliding around and the USB dongle is neatly held inside the keyboard leg. As someone with a collection now of 50+ keyboards I would say this color way is probably the best thing about this keyboard aside form the good picks of keys to keep from the navigation cluster. The big "LCD" screen on this is kind of gimmicky and could have been reduce to a smaller size. This keyboard is the same size as my favorite compact keyboard with a full on navigation cluster. Your giving up a normal layout for a screen your going to glance at maybe once a day. The jog dial is nice too, but again... not really that big of a deal. One of the bigger disappointments with this keyboard is the key caps not letting the RGB through, so at night your just getting the outlines of the keys, which is not helpful if your looking for a key. This would be so much better if they removed the spaces between the function keys and rotated the whole display / jog dial across the top. This should allow enough room to keep a normal navigation cluster without increasing the width of the keyboard. The switches for the on / off / modes could easily go on the side or back but to be honest, the LCD is just sort of a gimmick. Put 5 LED's instead of a blinding bright segmented LCD display that you cannot turn off with normal indicators for the mode / caps and scroll lock. It is a LCD for the sake of having a LCD.

This is a wireless keyboard that aims to imitate some features of mechanical “gaming” keyboards. See my video where I turn on the RGB lights, change the brightness, then change it to the “breathing” setting and change how quickly it “breathes”. The colours can’t be changed. It’s all the same rainbow colours. There is no backlighting through the keys themselves, only underneath and around the keys. However, being black on light grey, the letters are easy to see. It can only be wireless (the USB-C port is used only for charging). You use the included USB dongle or Bluetooth. There are two Bluetooth settings so you can use it with two different Bluetooth-enabled devices, each paired on separate settings. Even though it’s a membrane keyboard, it tries to look like a mechanical keyboard, with the typical shape and thick base of a mechanical keyboard where you can tinker with switches, etc. It has a bit more weight than a normal membrane keyboard. The keys have a lot of travel, are fairly quiet but don’t have the positive responsiveness that you get with mechanical. Basically, as a membrane keyboard, you may like the tall keys and travel, but don’t expect it to be close to a mechanical. Read more
