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

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!

Love it BUT I cannot see the letters at all in the dark hours, probably a skill issue, but seriously, if I move my hand off of the W while gaming I have to STOP and look for it, I even took a sewing needle, got it red hot, and melted a tiny hole on the W so I could feel it without looking. When I got it, I was seriously hoping the letters would glow through, they do not, for that reason, 4 stars otherwise 5 stars in operation of everything else!

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.

Want to start by saying the keyboard is amazing in the way it functions. The sound is amazing and the feel of the keys is great. The reason my review is low is because of all the issues with the product itself. Within the first week of having the keyboard 3 keys stopped working fully. This fixed after I swapped the switches but I shouldn’t have to do that on a new keyboard. Now I have had this keyboard for a few months and half of the rgb is out on it.

Good quality for the price
