WASD V2 vs Azio Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

This keyboard is greatly customizable. Things like layout, keycaps, home button or switches, can all be modified.

It has DIP switches that can be used to implement settings like changing the layout to Colemak or Dvorak, swapping the function keys to be like on a Mac or disabling the menu functions.

This thing is built like a brick. You can use it for years without any issue.

For those of who type all the time on Colemak, it is nice to have keycaps that match. It is especially nice for those just trying to switch.

While the RGB model costs $80, it provides full per-key RGB lighting complete with different effects. While this doesn't offer any extra functionality, it adds some flashiness to your build.

The base model of the keyboard offers a white backlight (no RGB), and the brightness of the backlight can be adjusted to suit the ambient lighting.

There are two switches to choose from: Kailh blue or Kailh brown. The blue switches offer a bump at the activation point as well as a click, while the brown switches offer a bump without the click. These switches are slightly heavier than the corresponding Cherry MX switches, but are similar in the way they act.

The bezels of the keyboard are small, and the design of the board is minimal instead of gaudy gamer-focused designs. It has a volume roller in the top right accompanied by the mute button which makes the board feel more premium than it's price point would suggest.

The keys also appear to be floating - while most keyboards have their keys recessed behind the casing, these ones aren't. this leaves their side exposed, and makes for a more unique design than other boards.
