Anne Pro

Heads up this keyboard uses clone switches!

Switches:

MX Red, MX Brown, MX Blue

About:

The Anne Pro is probably the cheapest %60 RGB keyboard in this list or maybe the world. In order for it to be this cheap it has to use Gateron switches which are clones of the Cherry MX switches. Despite using clone switches you can use any Cherry MX key-caps with them. The keyboard is wireless and can be paired with 4 devices at the same time. It utilizes a plastic case in order to cut down on costs. The keyboard has 12 hours of claimed battery life with no back lighting however some users have reported much longer. But this is quite low, think how often you leave a computer on for more than 12 hours! Sadly the keyboard has no battery indicator, beware as according to Murphy's law your keyboard will run out of juice at the worst possible time! Luckily its possible to use the keyboard via a wire. Comes with a Bluetooth dongle in the box. Some users reported that the Bluetooth can be flaky, surprisingly it seems more stable when connected to a phone or tablet than to a computer. Some user complained about massive input lag. The key-caps are actually dark grey and not black. The space bar feel bad due to loose stabilizers its loud and raddles. Some users reported failures/ QC issues. One user couldn't get the keyboard to work on FreeBSD but that's probably just user error or BSD not supporting it. I don't even understand why a FreeBSD user would pick this keyboard as to get a “~” you need to use the FN key making this a very bad choice for system admins or anyone who uses a terminal often. Linux Support seems to be spotty, some users say its fine, others say it doesn't work at all, MORE JUST WERKS FUN! I wish these guys would include what Distro there on because of course your super custom hack3r ultra light weight alpine install might have some issues with it were as Ubuntu would probably be fine. In order to change the lighting profile you have to download an app of the app store, some users have complained about the app being buggy and having to hunt down the correct version of it, also the app seems poorly translated. NOT TO MENTION THE APP REQESTS ALL KINDS OF PREMISSIONS INCLUDING MICROPHONE PREMISSIONS, infer of that what you may.
