After spending a few days with the Ajazz 820 Pro, here's my mini-review. I have verified these concerns through my own experience along with others, and by contacting after-sales support.
- None of the knob's functionality can be rebinded in the software.
- When rebinding the FN layer on the software, it doesn’t do a thing as in reality, nothing changes. (This is important as the keyboard only has 4 additional keys available)
- The bottom feet don’t grip well, so you would want to use this on a desk mat, not a hard flat surface.
- The keycaps have sharp, unpolished edges at the bottom, similar to those found on the Monsgeek M1W. Of course, the printing isn't great either because for the price you just get what you paid for.
- If you turn off the Screen and RGB lighting, they automatically turn back on when the keyboard wakes up, requiring manual switching off again which is kind of annoying as I just want to use my PC when I return from being idle.
- Both variants of switches that came with the keyboard have poor housing quality. The material isn’t dense, and some switch housings may show early signs of bending when pulled.
- Using the 2.4GHz wireless connection, I experienced a random set of inputs once or twice while typing, although this has occurred only twice in the past couple of days.
Overall, much like other budget keyboards, the AJazz 820 Pro is extremely hyped up by users who love aesthetics and sound that disregard functionality and refinement, which makes them an easy target. Unsurprisingly, it shares several common issues with a lot of other budget keyboards. For SGD 47.03, I would still consider it a good value to buy this budget keyboard. Lastly, it's not much different from the other budget keyboards, you get what you paid for, and at this price, it is more about
being able to tolerate the flaws due to the low price paid, but be aware that websites like Epomaker can easily charge double the price which makes them completely overpriced.
