We tested the Aukey KM-G6 LED-Backlit Switches Blue mechanical keyboard

We are facing another interesting product from the Aukey accessories firm that on this occasion have allowed us to try the mechanical keyboard LED-Backlit Switches Blue. The truth is that I am not very fond of this type of keyboard but it is a matter of trying and insisting.

In this case, we must say that it is a blue switch keyboard, with this we want to warn that They are the keyboards that make the most noise when typing. There are several switch models differentiated by colors, black and red. In any case, this is a very good keyboard, resistant to water and also quite economical in its price. 

Operation and LED lights

In this case it is as simple as plug and play. The keyboard adds an r6-color backlight, 8 pre-configured lighting effects and 2 slots for user-configurable lighting effects. We can customize or adapt the keyboard to our style. 

The truth is that noise can be a bit annoying at first if you are not used to this type of keyboard, but once you have been for a while you do not even notice the noise that the keys make. This is a detail to take into account as the keyboard is English format, so we do not have the physical key «ñ» and neither the «,».

Configure LED lighting

Another important detail in the operation is the amount of options it offers us to record effects with LED lighting. This is done in a simple way following the instruction manual that the keyboard adds, but it is basic using the FN + 9 or FN + 0 key we will be able to show the default value or the previous custom effect. FN + Home will enter customization mode and then by pressing the keys we want we can illuminate them (for example wsad) and press FN + End to save this personalized effect.

FN offers us the easiest way to customize the keyboard and we find effects already stored in the gaming keyboard: FPS, COD, RTS, LOL, NBA and more. The best thing is to see the one that best suits us from the manual itself and always in combination with the FN + 1, 2, 3, etc. key to configure the desired lighting.

Box contents

This time the box adds the AUKEY KM-G6 105-Key Mechanical Keyboard With LED backlighting, a key extractor to add the orange color to the keyboard (indicated for gamers) and its user manual that will be great for configuring the keyboard if it is the first time we have a mechanical keyboard of this type.

Manufacturing materials

Manufacturing materials are metal for keyboard base, keys are made of ABS or highly resistant plastic and best of all, it is resistant to liquids. The manufacturer indicates that 105 Keys are Anti-ghosting which means that this keyboard will not miss any keystrokes or confuse commands in any use case, whether playing or typing, offering a truly satisfying and efficient user experience.

There are many types of keyboards on the market, in addition to mechanical keyboards that already have their own differences between them, some or the vast majority are membrane and then we have the new Apple keyboards that call their mechanism like butterfly. In all cases, it is best to get used to the use from the typical expression "chopping keys" but everyone can feel more comfortable with one of them and you should not stop trying to find the one that best suits your needs to type or play for many hours.

In the case of more experienced gamers always say that mechanical keyboards are the best keyboards, but there are also players who use normal keyboards without any problem. The same happens for those who spend hours typing text, some say that the mechanics are better and others work better the rest. In the case that you prefer mechanicals, this keyboard can be a very good option considering the quality-price it offers. You can buy this Aukey directly on the website of No products found., in black.
