Feenix Autore Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

A great KB with one shining flaw. I liked this enough I've now bought two -- one for home, one for work. My first Cherry MX Brown keys, and maybe that's the secret because the keys feel wonderful, just great. Typing these things is a pleasure, best feel I've ever had with a KB. No doubt a matter of personal preference but I love it. While I do use other glowing gaming keyboards, I like also having this handsome, non-garish board, feels like it's appropriate for business. Very nice looking, artistic. At first I was taken aback by how muted the lettering on the keys is ... depending on the angle of the light, "invisible" is sometimes an apt description. But then I decided, this'll make me a better touch typist. You shouldn't be looking at your keys anyway, amiright? So I'm cool with it.Now the one flaw. Good heavens, the 3 white LED lights for Cap Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock are as bright as Supernovas! It's harsh, painful, way too much. What were they thinking? Feenix, you make this lovely artistic keyboard and then you jam lighthouse beacons into it! My neighborhood browns out every time I hit the Caps Lock. It gave me a sunburn. What's with that? I now have an ugly piece of Post-It Note covering those LEDs and it's STILL shining through too bright. Obviously took some inspiration from typical Asian design there, but it was the wrong lesson. Sincerely hope Feenix fixes that one problem.

This thing is incredible. I have gone through many mechanical keyboards in my time and this one is my favorite. I recently switched to it after having a Das 4 Ultimate for about 7 months. I realized that I didn't like the blues anymore at home. I still use them at work but find the browns to be that happy medium for gaming and typing, just like so many others. Had I initially purchased a Das 4 Ultimate in browns I probably would have just stuck with it. The media keys on the Das were very nice and I have plans to use it another workstation soon.Now, what separates this from other keyboards is the slick design and solid feel. Like so many others have stated, it is absolutely beautiful in person. One thing I love is that it doesn't show oils like other keyboards do. The text on the keys themselves are subtle and sleek looking.I suppose it is like the Tesla of keyboards :) Very happy with the purchase.The reason I am writing this review is actually because of a great experience I had with Feenix's customer service. About 2 weeks after I purchased the keyboard it went on a brief sale of $99 for about 4 hours. I found out about this reading through a forum in the [H]ot Deals section. I decided to try contacting support saying I had just recently purchased the keyboard to try and get $50 back. It worked! They promptly refunded me and this keyboard felt like a better deal. As a result, I'm setting aside play money to purchase additional Feenix products. The Feenix Aria will be next.Bottom Line: Don't hesitate to purchase this keyboard. It lives up to every expectation and is a dream to type on.

It has the standard ISO layout with no extraneous keys, or keys in weird places or with weird shapes. Simple and to the point. However, the fact that it doesn't seem to work properly with my ConnectPro KVM Switch is bothersome, and makes me wonder what this keyboard is doing under the hood that is preventing the KVMS's dedicated keyboard slot from being able to read it.

Good keyboard but after a year I wish I could go back. It is beautiful but after a year I do not think it was worth the premium you pay. The keys are very difficult to see unless you are looking directly at them and in good lighting. The customer service experience is good after having them fix the one misaligned input on the keyboard. I would suggest the K70 from corsair because I always see myself wishing I had back lighting because of the hard to read keys.

this is my first mechanical keyboard and i love it. The Chery MX browns feel great compared to the rubber domes im used to and more to my liking than Cherry MX Reds. The finish on the keyboard feels great, the key caps feel great, the aesthetic is simple and minimal but thats a plus to me. As someone who has terrible typing discipline i wouldve liked a white LED backlit version to help me during the night but i dont feel thats worth knocking a star off. I cant comment on the layout and spacing of the keys in regard to pressing the wrong keys really for the fact im a terrible typist but i do feel so far it has helped me since the keys are smaller than what im used to.

This is the best keyboard I have personally ever used! I love the feel of the buttons compared to my other mechanical board and the placement of the keys is a bit closer together which is a huge plus. Another great feature is the fact that the cable is detachable from the keyboard itself which is very handy if you are very picky about how your cables look, it makes it easy to to run the cable through any type of management system you may have. I put my name down for a notification upon availability on these and I am glad I did as this is the keyboard I'll be sticking with!
