About this deal

It would have been nice to only have a single USB-C cable on our desk, so this is pretty disappointing. With such low battery life, we wouldn’t recommend trying to use the keyboard in wireless mode full-time. In terms of typing it’s actually pretty good if you like a lot of noise and feedback in your keys…but if you don’t, you’re out of luck, because this board does not feature hot-swap switches.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. If you would like to use the CK721 keyboard as wired or to charge the keyboard, simply plugging in the provided USB cable and switching the keyboard to wired is all that is needed. There is some light bleed from the Caps Lock and status indicator on the CK721 which is noticeable when the RGB lighting is turned off and in a semi-dark environment. But if you can't fit a full-sized keyboard on your desk, yet still need to use things like the function keys, it can be hard finding a good one that fits your needs.When you’re in a groove, the last thing you want to do is Alt+Tab out to adjust your keyboard settings.

Removable Aluminum Top Plate – Offers ease of routine maintenance combined with understated aesthetics for maximum durability. The CK721 wireless mechanical keyboard is a hassle-free workhorse, a no-fuss keyboard for both work and play.

Looking back at this month-long swap from my membrane Razer Cynosa V2 keyboard, this first, in-depth experience with a mechanical keyboard was really fun. Using the sliding switch to switch the keyboard from wireless to wired was simple and took a second on average to connect to the device. The keyboard also works without issues with games like Final Fantasy XIV and Planet Coaster: Console Edition for PS4/PS5, and games like Halo Infinite and Bright Memory for Xbox Series consoles. With the lights on full blast and animation I managed a little over two days of work and gaming on it, while I’ve yet to exhaust the battery at all with the lights out.

Connecting through Bluetooth was probably the fastest and easiest way to connect the keyboard, strangely faster than a wired connection. All three keyboards have a lot of the same features and build quality, but CK721 offers features like swappable aluminum faceplate(s), PlayStation and Xbox support, and the ability to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or over a 2.

Like building one’s own PC, mechanical keyboards are fully customizable with so many various options, with the boards themselves, switches, to key caps. As with any keyboard that is smaller in size compared to a full-size, you will lose the number pad, however. If you want the most bang for your buck and don’t mind charging your keyboard every two to three days when used wirelessly, check out the CK721. In fact, while testing over the wireless dongle, my keyboard went through mixed usage of just under six days before it needed a recharge, leaving it to sleep when I was not using it.If you have a Samsung phone, you can take advantage of its DeX mode, or Samsung's desktop mode, which allows you to navigate your phone via your computer through emulation.
