Feels nicer to use than a $20 basic office Logitech keyboard but that's really it. I have a Chinese HE keyboard (jazz ak820 pro max he), it feels and sounds much better than my old basic keyboard but I can't say it really makes any difference in game performance wise. On paper there are some gains response time, polling rate, max number of simultaneous inputs, actuation point, etc all are better but the difference is very minor.

I got one(ajazz ak820 HE max) to replace my generic 20 bucks Logitech office keyboard. The keys feel so much nicer but I can't say it made any difference in game. The keyboard is more pleasant overal to use though. Sounds more satisfying and not clacky at all but I don't think gaming keyboards provide any real competitive edge.

This Aula 60% is probably the cheapest I can recommend, its hot swappable. https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/aula-61-keys-hot-swappable-rgb-backlit-mechanical-keyboard-detachable-type-c-wired-gaming-keyboard-f3261-i3455301445-s17746401716.html? If you stretch your budget a bit though Ajazz AK820 is selling a 75% KB for 1300 PHP (without vouchers), which is a pretty great board for the price. I highly recommend getting this one https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/ajazz-ak820-wired-detachable-mechanical-keyboard-cnc-knob-control-75-gasket-mount-gaming-keyboard-i4785899854-s27583306856.html?

Nope, I bought a Chinese-brand AJAZZ 65% Hall-effect keyboard with no RGB a year ago for only 16 bucks, and it still works without issues. No ghost inputs compared to mechanical keyboards in its price bracket, and it does pretty much everything an expensive Hall-effect keyboard can do.

The Ajazz AK820 Max is already wireless capable. There is a BT/USB/2.4G selector switch on the back of the keyboard next to the USB port. That selects between Bluetooth, USB wired, and 2.4GHz wireless modes.

Hello everyone, I have 2 problems with my AJAZZ AK820 MAX HE and I'm hoping if someone can help me. I have bought this keyboard recently and i'm overall quite happy with it, sounds nice, feels good. I just can not get the keyboard to connect with the software/driver for it. It just won't work at all. Also, when i press a key, my pc often does not register it. For example -> I press D while playing a game and my character won't move. It does work when I almost slam my finger on the key, only then it will register. Please help me with this. I really want to use it more often, but because of these problems, I can't use it.

It's more than good enough for $30. If you want something better then it's available, but even something as basic as the ak820 is more than good enough to not be the thing holding you back. I would just get the more cheaper $35 instead of the one shown here that's marked up for no reason.

If you need for gaming get HR keyboard like ak820

Nah, wouldn't recommend the AK820. For the price, it looks nice, but overall, it's a realistically 20-30$ keyboard with cheap knob (so god knows how fast it'll break) and is full plastic, so build "quality" isn't really there.

I mean I have one (non HE) and it’s acting up. Now, I bought it for fun, but the knob is skipping, sometimes working, sometimes not, and recently, the whole board started to be problematic, like keys freezing, not wanting to type certain characters, etc

Oh yeah, hot swappable, but this issue seems to be on the board level, due to random keys (while typing) deciding to type out 10 characters instantly
