 The people at Banggood were kind enough to supply us this BlitzWolf BWKB1 mini wireless RGB keyboard with mechanical blue switches. Phew, that was a mouthful. For someone who always used wireless keyboards growing up until the RGB craze happened, I was very excited to try out something which reminded me of the familiar and the new at the same time. While this may have been provided by Banggood, our loyalty is first and foremost to you guys. And so this is an honest review from a keyboard enthusiast. I'm Rafale from Hardware Sugar and I'm going to nerd out on the product so you won't have to when deciding on what to get your loved ones and friends this Christmas. The first thing you notice out of the box is that this small keyboard feels substantial for its size. It is heavier than it looks and clocks in at 20 ounces. But I consider this a plus because the weight is there to remind you that it has presence even before you begin using it. The design of the keyboard is made up of two parts, a premium plastic black finish and a metal plate where the keys rest. In the industry of keyboards nowadays, people associate plastic finishes as being cheap. Thus, all flagship cell phones at present have shifted towards metal builds. This, however, isn't the case if the item is constructed correctly. I mentioned this in my other video that my Razer Black Widow Chroma keyboard was made of similar black plastic to that of the BWKB1 and I think if plastic is engineered in this manner, it really does create a premium experience. The metal plate is not something you can really see or touch because the keys cover most of it. Thus, what you will be really be touching for the most part is the matte plastic finish. The keyboard comes in black or white options, but because I have a dog, I always choose black peripherals because a white finish doesn't work well in my room because of all the dog fur, which eventually get inside my keyboards. However, I mentioned this because I bet the white finish will be just as premium looking based on my experience with this black one. The small form factor makes it a very small footprint wherever I am using it and as some may already notice from our other videos, regarding my work table and my choice in gear, I really do prefer a more minimalist look to my work areas and the Blitzwolf does not disappoint. The bottom part of the keyboard is equipped with rubber pads underneath its belly, which prevents it from scratching the table when you are moving it around from place to place. The height adjustment legs are also rubberized. The keyboard does not come with wrist support, which may appear as a downer, but to be honest, this is still a good move by Blitzwolf because a lot of people like to customize their wrist support, especially when it comes to the miniature keyboard breed. Also, our wrist support will detract from the goal of the keyboard, which is to promote mobility. It is IPX4 water resistant, which means it can handle splashes of water, but no submersion or sustained water hits. In short, you'll have no problem if you spill your coffee or water just as long as you don't swim with it or leave it under the rain. And who does that anyway? Connecting it to a laptop, mini-PC or a full-fledged desktop is easy and it works on both Apple and Microsoft devices. It is as simple as flicking a switch underneath and pressing function and either Q, W, E, R or T. Each letter corresponds with a specific device that you previously paired it with, so that syncing is automatic the second time around, and you don't need to go through the process of manually encoding it each time. One very important downside of the wireless keyboard is that it syncs via Bluetooth. Thus, the response time is slower than, for instance, my Corsair Wireless Ironclaw, which has an option for Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz. It is thus not meant to be a keyboard for a pro gamer. There are, however, benefits to this, which include a longer battery life and no need to worry about losing an external sensor. The heart of the keyboard is that it's portable in nature. We are all grounded until COVID-19 is gone, but that doesn't mean you don't want a change of scenery for your workspace. Whether you have a balcony or a pool at your apartment, or whether you need to keep an eye on dinner as it cooks but can't leave your workstation, the option to quite literally pick up your workstation along with your keyboard is a lot of fun. It is true that if you own a laptop, then it already has a keyboard. We are, however, living in the renaissance of customizable keyboard switches. My Surface Pro 4's keyboard, while handy for being magnetized at a laptop, has keys which aren't clicky and not nearly as satisfying as the Blitz Wolf. If I am going to be working on a project on my computer for a long period of time, I want to be able to have some fun while working like this. The keyboard comes in blue, red, and brown switches. I opted for blue switches because I get high hearing that clickity clang. As far as the satisfaction for the blue switches go, I really dig them. I have used the blue switches with the Corsair K70, ASUS TUF K3, and the green switches with the Razer Black Widow Chroma, and I can say with extreme definitiveness that if you like any of those keys, then you're in for a fun time with these. Blitz Wolf markets the battery life to be 10 days with RGB OFF and 18-20 hours with RGB ON. To be honest, I don't work longer than 6 hours a day, and so far the keyboard has yet to die on me. I charged the keyboard after I finished working for the day, and so haven't gotten around to emptying the battery in full. You can charge the keyboard via USB-C by using a charger, or just simply plug it into a PC. Plugging it in will allow you to use the keyboard while it charges up. So if you tend to use this for a laptop, just as long as you bring the cable, then you don't need to worry about it being out of use. The keyboard has an automated battery-saving function which turns off the RGB if it is idle for 30 seconds and suspends the Bluetooth if it has been idle for 30 minutes. So you don't need to worry about wasting energy or forgetting to turn it off. The RGB lighting are what you would expect from a premium keyboard. The lights are colorful, diverse, and reactive. As I said in my ASUS K3 review, I am not one to spend too much time on customizing my lighting and I usually just stick with one or three favorites. The rainbow profile or the randomly-scattered colors profile add just enough character for me to be completely satisfied with regards to lighting. The BWKB1 retails for around $2,355 on Banggood. We will leave a link and a coupon code in the description below if our review has sparked your interest. The closest comparison I can think of is the Corsair K63 wireless mechanical keyboard but that retails for close to double the price. That, however, has a 2.4GHz function meant more for programmers. However, for us normal people who just want to have fun and type, I think the BWKB1 is actually priced cheaper than what you get. I wouldn't have been surprised if I was told that this keyboard costs $3,500. It feels and reacts that well and it more than earns its price tag. Affordable mechanical wireless RGB keyboards are rare. We haven't seen more options from companies like Corsair and Razer because it is difficult to deliver RGB lighting which doesn't drain a keyboard too quickly and razor fast speed response time. If, however, you are a casual gamer or are looking for a keyboard which you can enjoy typing on without the hindrance and ugly nature of having to be restricted by a wire, then I really think this is a unique contender. To be honest, I'm stubborn when it comes to trying different brands because I don't like being let down. So, thank you to Banggood for providing us a review unit and for introducing us to the BlitzWolf brand. Check out the coupon code down below and save an additional 200 or so on the BWKB1. Personally, I know a lot of people in the writing industry who don't hardcore game and would be ecstatic to work with this keyboard. As I said earlier, it's the little things that are available nowadays.
