MAMBASNAKE X60 HE Wireless Rapid Trigger Keyboard Magnetic Switch

This keyboard is an absolute beast! The adjustable actuation lets me customize every keypress just how I like it, which makes gaming and typing feel incredibly precise. The tri-mode connectivity is super convenient. I switch between Bluetooth, 2.4G, and wired depending on what I’m doing without any lag or hiccups.The 8KHz polling rate really shows in fast-paced games. Inputs feel instant and smooth. Plus, the black and red contour design looks sleek and modern on my desk. It’s solidly built and works perfectly on both Windows and Mac. Couldn’t ask for more in a compact 60% keyboard!

This is a great keyboard with simple colour options and switch options. I have the white one. These magnetic switches are unique and I was blown away by the software to customize the actuation....this is seriously cool.The keycaps are fine, the switches feel fine, the LED lighting is fine, thouigh the caps are not pass through. It's a good mix of value.The USB-C port is nice to see, and BT/wireless options may make this my portable keyboard option.One complaint is that there is no height and angle adjustability. It took me a while to get used to (I don't think I can though) on my desk due to desk and chair height limits. This is a thick keyboard.I tried multiple USB to USBC cables and none of them other then the provided USB C cable, which is fine. I don't use the RGB features so I can't comment on them. I toggled the modes of lighting and they seem ok.

STYLE: Star White - 4 Stars- The lighting is background only, it does not backlight the key labels. So, in a dark environment, you cannot read key labels.- Included a white USB-C cord, and a white 2.4GHz dongle.STYLE: Black and Red Contour - 3 Stars- The lighting is mainly background; but, there's slight backlighting of the key labels. In a dark or lighted environment, you cannot read the key labels unless a key is backlit. Making all the animations useless during use. *- When key labels are visible, the keyboard has to be set further away from you to read the labels because they're on the front edge of the keys. *- The contour lines overlay the letters, making some of the key labels difficult to discern in certain dark lighting conditions; I, E, for example. This is improved with maximum brightness. **- Included a black USB-C cord, and a black 2.4GHz dongle. ** Likely the same with the Moon Night style** Specific to Black and Red Contour styleBOTH STYLES:- Did not come with a coiled cord as indicated in the product description. Coiled cords remind me of growing up when my sisters would stretch the extra long cord from the wall-mounted, dial, telephone all the way down the hall into their bedrooms, for privacy. My mum hated that. In general I don't like them, so this isn't a great loss.- The old-school higher-profile shape of the keys is not as good for fast typing. Low-profile keys are better in this respect.- I hate the concept of labelling things with text the same color as what the text is on. I see this with black on black very often... but white on white I now know is even worse. This is a factor with the connection mode switch on the back of the keyboard, which I had to use magnifying glasses to read... Left to right from back... 2.4GHz, USB cable, bluetooth.- If the keyboard moves out of range (2.4GHz or bluetooth), the R key will flash green. Took me awhile to figure this out... it's not documented.- I had to research why anyone would want a hand strap on a keyboard. I still don't get it. AI suggested it provides improved stability, ergonomic support, and enhanced control. I'm not sure how.CONFIGURATION SOFTWAREThe "cloud-based software", which I'm not sure has anything to do with cloud, is not documented in the manual - surprising given that its probably the most interesting part of this product. It gives access to full customization (color and animation settings, macro creation, etc). It makes use of the open source firmware Quantum Mechanical Kit (QMK), it's worth researching. Had I not looked again at the product listing, I would never have known it was implemented on this keyboard. To get to it, in a browser, navigate to qmk.top. To use it on Windows requires installation of a driver (iot_driver) which is provided thru the browser access. QMK is very powerful, and adds the flexibility of future firmware updates with new features. I added an additional star for this functionality.CONCLUSIONThese keyboards have a very high quality feel. The keys have very smooth action and there's an obvious improvement over plastic/spring action keyboards. The keyboards have a good weight to them, and sit firmly in place. The flexibility of 2.4GHz, bluetooth, and USB cable connections give you plenty of options to suit your needs.There are expert features for gamers, which I'm not. If you are, maybe some of the concerns I've mentioned don't matter to you. For me, I can't type as fast, and I can't read the labels; so, not too useful a design. But, I am not the target user, and I've taken that into consideration with my rating.If there was an update to this keyboard that had backlit key labels, low(er) profile keys, and it was available in an extended keyboard version (navigation, arrow, and numpad keys) I'd give any of the styles 5 stars and I'd use it regularly when I move away from my main computer and relax on my recliner to watch movies/shows at night.Completely unrelated to the keyboard... the Mambasnake logo/text isn't easily readable... the 'B' looks more like a square with a 'c' in it (like a stylized copyright symbol), or at quicker glance like a 'G'. The box is beautifully designed though.

I've owned and used this keyboard for about two weeks now, and I can say that this keyboard is something different. My previous keyboard was a Attack Shark K85, so I've switched from a 80% or TKL to a 60%. I've used a 60% before, and the amount of space that you free up is really nice. The actuation adjustment on this keyboard is better than my previous as well. The quality of the keycaps are decent, and the frame is pretty nice too. There's a handy little hole that the 2.4ghz wireless dongle can sit in, and it's next to the mode switcher as well. The one thing that I did do some adjusting to is removing the foam that's in the keyboard for a more hollow sound.

It sounds amazing and I love how the switches feel. Its lightweight and the cable it comes with is super high quality. I really like that it has bluetooth, dongle, and wired connections! It's such a great value and super nice that I can use the same keyboard for my computer desk setup and then walk over to the tv and use it wirelessly at a high speed. It's better than my more expensive keyboards I've built myself which shows how far these value keyboards have come!
