BLACKICE Trailhead 65% Mechanical USB Wired Gaming Keyboard, TTC Linear Custom Switches, Programable RGB, Hot-Swappable, Deep Thock Creamy Sounding PC Keyboard, Pre-lubed, 100% Anti-ghosting

The Higround Trailhead Black Ice is my 4th gaming keyboard (previously using the Keychron 81 Pro) and my 1st Keyboard from Higround! From right out the box I know this keyboard will be a game-changer in both my gaming and work setup! I’m a travel Filmmaker/VFX Compositor so I edit a lot on the go, and most of the time editing on a laptop built-in keyboard is quite frustrating. I really like how the Trailhead is small, which makes it so easy to take it with me everywhere I go. Yes it’s very compact but still has everything I need! A must for creators/gamers who travels non-stop! About the design: I really love it. The build quality is solid! It’s very sleek and premium, making it aesthetically fits into my PC setup without taking too much space. I can tell Higround really puts a lot of thoughts into creating this masterpiece. When I was messing around the different RGB mode (specifically customizing my own RGB style), I noticed the colors are very vibrant and bright which was very pleasing to the eye. It provides variety of colors to choose from, and when mixed together, the colors just transition to another very nicely. I also really enjoy the hot-swappable feature. Thats a huge plus for me (who loves to change themes) and especially for other people who love to customize their keyboards overtime. I also love that it’s pre-lubed! It feels godly whenever I typed, it gives that satisfying creamy and thocky sound that’s not too loud, making it more fun to type. It also makes it easier to use in a quiet environment like the library, cafe, or office without distracting any people around. For $99? Say less, take my money! It’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for a high-performance, compact, aesthetically pleasing customizable keyboard!

I picked up the Higround Trailhead Mechanical Keyboard, and honestly, it’s become my favorite part of my setup. The build feels super solid, and the design adds this really clean look to my desk. The hot-swappable switches are such a cool feature too – I love being able to mix up the feel of the keys whenever I want. Typing on this thing is just satisfying. Every keystroke feels responsive and crisp, which is awesome for both gaming and just everyday use. The RGB lighting is vibrant without being distracting, which is exactly what I was looking for.

My first introduction to higrounds line of keyboards and it really does type well. Feels really good to type on and sounds even better. Only complaint is that the keycaps don't really seem black they seem more navy blue when you really look at them. It was one of the first things I noticed when i opened it but it really does type well.

Good quality for the price

there are two things I can say need to be improved on in the short time I have had it First is the lettering on the keys I would like if the contrast between the letter and the key was more it is difficult to see the lettering especially in darker lighting Secondly the foam they do have in the keyboard needs to be of a greater thickness while it is in there it doesn't do anything as it sits about an eight of an inch under the board if the foam was actually touching it would make for a much better sound quality Overall I am happy with this board and only minor things I feel would take this to the next level
