May recommend this keyboard to everyone, with its flaws.
What I didnt like is:
- no MACOS rgb software!
- Key surface area is slightly less.
- Only 1 model with num keys? See how many of other models you have for other ones. While buying I felt like I am stuck with just one and didn't have any option or I didn't look at other brands enough, but I saw the founders before checkout.
It's not all bad—you guys are doing God's work. Your company's existence is paramount; do not ever give up....Thanks.

Hive98 Full-Size Wired Gaming Keyborad
This is amazing product... I used it for Gaming as well as office work and it very smooth typing experience.. But cost is somewhat expensive compared to other Gaming Keyborads.
09/30/2025
Good product! But the cost could've been better!
I've been using it for two weeks, and I must say it performs beyond my expectations.
Now the only question is longevity! I hope it performs reliably in these conditions for at least 3 years.

Blue switch all black keyboard need
I need a blue switch all black keyboard I am waiting for it from long time but I didn't get it
05/07/2025
Keyboard is good but...[OLYMPUS-530], Livewire/Laravel doc read.
But their latest batch of product have print issues on keys. which means on some keys you will not see clear font or pass through RGB.

Kreo hive is the final keyboard I have found to be able to use as my daily driver
I have been absolutely frustrated from keyboard selection as all those straight out of chinese brand who are making keyboards don't give me the good vibe of typing and typing being my 100% of my daily work it is absolutely required for me. So I decided to purchase Kreo hive and never complained till now. I have got the Otemu brown switch which is giving me smooth tactile sound which is a very good experience for me. Only complaint I have from this keyboard is the keycap quality is little poor which I barely care because I have purchased hyperx double shot PBT keycaps for replacing the original keycaps. One overkill this keyboard could have been is if this keyboard had a gasket mounted keycaps like they have in Kreo swarm 75. That would have been a simply amazing keyboard.

Awesome
Hi Kreo Team,
Thanks for following up! I’ve been using the Hive Full-Size All Black Wired Gaming Keyboard for the past two weeks, and I must say—it’s been a solid experience so far.
✅ Build Quality: Feels premium and sturdy. The all-black look is sleek and fits perfectly with my setup.
⌨️ Typing & Gaming: The keys are responsive and satisfying to press—great for both gaming and daily typing.
🔇 Noise: It’s not too loud, which I appreciate since I work and game in a shared space.
🔌 Connectivity: Plug-and-play was smooth—no issues at all.
Overall, I’m really happy with the product. Keep up the great work!
Best,
Shrikant Vats

Value for every penny given
For the asking price you cant find any fault in the keyboard, It has a nice thocky ( brown switch) sound, has a nice feeling when you type and enough feed back from the switches. The switch stabilisers fell nice too. The volume knob is metal and feels nice to operate. Overall value for money. If you don't want to spend anything more than 3K, this is the one to go for.

My first mechanical Keyboard and I love it!
I decided to go with Kreo as my first mechanical keyboard. I went through a lot of products before arriving at this one. The key options and full size was what I was looking for. The customization on RGB lights are lit! (pun intended). Volume knob is sort of helpful but it cannot be reconfigured. (I would have loved if it can me made to control sliders in editing apps. The keys are pretty good. After 2 weeks of usage I'm so comfortable with its soft and low noise keys that don't make cranking sounds when pressed. I would have loved a low profile option if there was one though.

Best keyboard
I really wanted a mechanical keyboard at an affordable range with good quality, very few brands can do that. I stumbled upon Krio on Instagram and came to know they are an Indian startup, hoping to see more products in future.

Best Gift Ever
Got this as a gift for a friend. Needless to say, he loved it! The brown switches are the best ones as per him, and this is the best deal on the brown switches one can get in India.

Removing the switch
I bought this keyboard because so that in future i can hotswap the switch with other switch but it is very hard to remove switch. i would not recommend this keyboard if you want to mod. I am so frustrated that i cant remove the switch.
