As a gamer I really like the feel of keyboard when you press the keys. This is first time I'm buying branded keyboard and I think this keyboard really comfortable and feels premium.
Very good build quality
Hands down the best keyboard someone can buy at this price . I love thocky clacky sound but all those keyboards ranges in 5-6k and my budge was tight. These are linear so silence switch, not expected much but this one definitely blown my mind. You won't get thocky or clacky Sound but you'll definitely feel satisfied. And you can later change the switches to get the thocky sound anyway.
I think it's one of the most amazing thing have invested on.Key press sound is satisfying and the RGB lights are completely customizable using the software.It will surely going to enhance your work experience.Initially I was skeptical about purchasing this much costlier keyboard but believe me it's worth every penny and best in this range.
It was good and silent keyboard must buy
It's butter smooth. Can be a little pricey but it's worth it.

It's my second mechanical keyboard, first was hp gk 320It is good enough to worth 3kBut the acoustic treatment could have been better but still it's sounds and feels perfectKeys are very stable and the RGB lighting is also very bright ( brighter than ho gk 320)In this price range two more keyboards are on list - cosmic byte phantom and evofox RoninBut the problem with phantom is its not hot swappable otherwise they have better acoustic treatment.
Good keyboard worth the money

Amazing sounding keys perfect for typing experience and gaming, purple switchs are proper blend of red switch and brown switch,Soft ware is very easy and lot of curtumzimg options, printing on keys are not that Great, but overall looks 10/10,
I got the keyboard on 17th August 2025First impressions -1. RGB is very bright which is good, 16 presets2. Dedicated volume knob and volume controls on the keys3. Screen brightness controls on the keys5. It's sounds very good, I wud say it's somewhere between ure normal mechanical red switch sound and modded thocky sound6. Keyboard feels very sturdy and high quality7. The mac layout keys cud have been more brighter like the silver don't is hardly visible on the purple keys8. Wired connectivity9. Overall value for money, u will not regret buying this keyboardI wud highly recommend it, these were my first impressionsI might give a detailed review later
Very nice, attractive and beautiful keyboard. My thought is the rgb should be a little more bright. 🥰
My first impression of this keyboard :It looks and feels premium, the keys are steardy and there is no flex while typing or playing games.The braided cable which comes with this is also pretty good, minimalistic design and the RGB is also pretty bright and of good quality,The keys are tactile and very responsive, there is no input lag of any kind.overall am pretty happy with the purchase.
The keyboard is great for the price — smooth and comfortable typing experience. However, the software seems to have some glitches. After closing the software, a few keys sometimes stop working, but reconnecting the keyboard or pressing FN+W usually fixes it.
It is a very good keyboard in this price, nice per key RGB option and pre lubed switches are fun to type. It's good for gaming also. Nice work kreo.
Best keyboard for in life ❤️
No problem in this keyboard RGB CONTROLLER Software is best in this price ❤️
This is an excellent keyboard for both gaming and typing. It provides premium feel while typing and the response is really great. But they should have chosen a font that is more rounded for the letters that are printed on the keyboard. The printing on the keyboard (at least for the one that I bought) is not proper. I am not sure if that is the backlight issue or the print issue. Most of the keys are half lit and the print is not proper.

The print quality could be better other than that mostly everything is good
I am really impressed by the product. I mean what else would you expect a 2500 rs keyboard. It's mechanical switch with decent sound and it's also swapable .Per key RGB is also very nice . Over all great product. Happy from the product quality 😁
Sound
Hive65 Black Purple Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Love everything about the sound and feel of the Hive65! Coming from a much smaller keyboard, the layout and key distance felt a bit different at first, but the overall feel and quality are top-notch
