Such a great budget keyboard
The media could not be loaded. EDIT: I was concerned that the RGB light on the keyboard was quite dull the hue was very poor but it was only due to the switches it came with! I ordered mine with the cream yellows which gave the RGB lights a weird tone - I have since replaced them with Akko pre-lubed wine red switched and the RGB shines through beautifully and it's a lot more vibrant.This keyboard sounds great out of the box, but you can buy prelubed Akko switches to make it sound even better. The stabs are surprisingly good too especially for the price! The whole set up is super easy and the manual is easy to understand. You can use the Akko app to set the RGB to your liking (even the side LED strips). Very happy with this board.I read one of the comments complaining not knowing what the 3 LED light meant on the right hand side of the board. It can be found online in the manual - top one to indicate CapsLock, second is Battery Health and the third is Lock Win.

PRETTY LIGHTS
I absolutely love this keyboard!!! Upgraded it with the best switches from the company (I think the fastest ones I could find without being super fast) but the sounds!!! Are amazing!!! It’s got a good reaction time if you upgrade the switches thoughUsing the switches it came with would of been a little too slow for gaming so I swapped out all the most used keys on keyboard with the new switches

A great keyboard spoiled by terrible lighting.
This review refers to the 5075B Plus in Black with Cream Yellow switches.The 5075B Plus is a good looking keyboard that mimics the style of the much more expensive GMMK Pro. It also feels great to type on and use for your everyday keyboard needs. However, it suffers from some very poor design choices that put a big dent in the overall package.Pros:- Has a great style, though you could argue that this is simply a case of copying homework from the GMMK Pro as they are almost identical in layout and the use of side light strips.- A good value package overall (when on sale at sub £100). You get a lot of extra keycaps, some extra switches, keycap and switch pullers as well as a cable etc. (Though I would say the cable is simply average quality as its not braided).- Sounds great. It has a good level of "thock" to it and none of the keys wobble or rattle. I think that Epomaker edge Akko out on this one with their keyboards, but its still very high quality overall.Cons:- A terrible design choice was made at some point to tint the upper plastic housing of the switches, and in the case of the Cream Yellows, this means any backlighting is tinted yellow. For someone like myself who often uses white or very light colours, this was unacceptable as the tint meant that white backlighting was impossible to achieve. Any use of white would come out more like beige. This can be remedied only by buying a whole other set of switches that have not tinted the housing, but a pre-built keyboard should not be requiring the user to spend more money to fix a design flaw.- The green battery indicator light which is located to the right of the Enter key is far too bright when its plugged in, and as far as I could tell there is no way to alter this. The light is so bright that it will bleed into the surrounding backlight area.- The side strip lighting is not contained or separated from the main board. What this means is that if you were to use a different colour of lighting for the side strips than your backlight, the light strips will noticeably bleed in around the edges.- The keyboard itself is generally quite light when compared to similar styles of board. It could have benefitted from some weights being added.Overall I do think this is a good keyboard to use, especially for a sub 100£ pricetag. However, I do feel that if you have any care for backlighting and styling the apperance of RGB on your keyboard, steer well clear unless you have other switches to replace the tinted ones.

Disgusting
The 1 star I'm giving this board is mainly for its build quality. The poor materials used are not just something that "oh it could be better, it's still a good keyboard" - it's so bad that I'm amazed this product has any positive reviews. The plastic housing is no better than a takeaway box, switches that come with it are very cheap and "scratchy" on press. When you grab it on either side you can twist the plastic and hear it creak. The PCB has no back plate. It feels like a £15 budget keyboard you pick up for your gran at Tesco, and the "mechanical" and "RGB" aspects of it are just lipstick on a pig. Absolutely disgusting what you get for £116.

5075B
Bought to replace my old Razer that became unreliable. Half of what I paid for the Razer and first impression is as good if not better build quality with the added bonus of being able to get rid of Razer's software! Will probably buy a 2nd one fairly soon to use at work as well tbh! The switches themselves are personal preference but I'm happy with the cream blues (a touch heavier than my old Razer oranges and more noticeable tactile feel) and the cherry profile on the caps is spot on - for those of us that are older, it brings back the days when we all had mechanical keyboards as the normal! Overall, very happy and price is fair too! Oh and literally everything you need is included in the box too.

Great keyboard *HOWEVER* be prepared to swap switches...
Probably one of the best value for money keyboards you can buy as entry level to the mechanical keyboard world, especially if you are particularly interested in that 75% w/ volume knob form factor. Unfortunately, the Akko switches are extremely prone to breaking. You can find other people talking about this, but after a month or so of using the keyboard some of the keys either start double-pressing or don't register at all.I'm not sure if this is a problem unique to the Cream Yellow switches (the variant I purchased), but every time I'd replace a switch with a spare, a different key would start misbehaving pretty quickly. Probably why they give you so many spare. Upon swapping to a completely different set of switches, the keyboard works perfectly with zero issues, so it may be worth considering what kind of switches you'd like to swap to in case you start having this issue. Save yourself a bit of headache.

I love this keyboard!
It looks really nice with my white and pink setup! The keys can be changed and the whole aesthetic is really cute. Wouldn’t go back to a gaming keyboard after using a custom small one like this.
