I needed a new keyboard to replace my old Keychron which was failing me on the Bluetooth side. After a very long search, I settled on this one based on internet recommendations everywhere. It was a great choice:
1. The sound is great. It’s almost like a low volume version of hitting two very solid rocks together.
2. The Bluetooth is rock solid. It connects super fast and stay connected without problems so far.
3. VIA works flawlessly.
4. Great battery life (I got the Pro version).
5. Bright RGB leds.
One problem which almost was a deal breaker for me is that the keyboard doesn’t support the full range of QMK functionality. In particular, I really wanted a keyboard that supported Mod-Tap, and this one doesn’t have it.
Since the keyboard can be noisy for a office environment, I changed the switches to AKKO V3 Fairy Linear Silent. It’s super silent and feel like typing on a cloud which for me is satisfying too.
Overall, great keyboard. You probably won’t regret it.

I absolutely love this keyboard. It sounds wonderful to type on, very responsive keys, a little firm but not too firm. Great weight to it. I haven’t gotten the Bluetooth or wifi to connect as it’s a bit finicky for some reason but it’s better plugged in anyways
Edit:
It’s November 9th, I received the keyboard September 21st. Today the keyboard stopped charging and will not connect to my computer via the usb-c. It seems like there is no real solution in sight since it is outside of the return window by about 20 days. Don’t get this.

The video reviews with typing tests on this keyboard doesn’t do it justice. Its not “quiet,” though, it sounds like raindrops on a car from the inside. The first thing I checked was the spacebar which is solid, and no rattle on any of the keys. It feels like awesome quality. I don’t have experience with higher end custom keyboards, but I didn’t want to mess around with disassembly and stuff, so I got this and feel happy so far. VIA works really well to program any keys, its easy to set your own keys to change volume and more. Its hotswap so you can experiment with different switches easily. The wireless is alright as with anything. RGB is south-facing, but still nice. Its compact and hefty. All in all, its a solid entry to custom keyboards for $140.

This is the best keyboard ever! I’ve used it now for months and it functions perfectly! I use it for work a lot of gaming. Weight and the sound it all bonuses!

Everything about this keyboard is amazing.
Build, it is metal, it is heavy, it does not move when you use it. It FEELS like a product that will last years, no questions. They keys are REALLY quiet compared to like Reds, but still have that perfect mechanical feedback. If you stream and do not want CLICKCLICKLCIK all over your stream this is the one.
Typing on it is fast and accurate. Latency, I use mine plugged in but it has remote, is super fast and I have no issues on hair trigger games. Lighting is bright and there are a decent amount of pre-sets, hope they allow you to make your own soon. You can control the brightness and speed as well. The keys look nice, but expect to replace them as these do not have see-thru letters, so in the dark they can be slightly hard to see sometimes.
This is just a really great keyboard, I am totally enamored with it.

Having owned many keyboards, the Rainy75 has unparalleled build quality and the most unique and pleasing sound out of the box. Typing is such a pleasure, I’m actually writing a review about it just so I have something to type! Very heavy, high quality aluminium build. This is the best sounding keyboard in my small collection of keyboards. Highly recommend

I am not sure what the keyboard from apple is called but I have the one that came with my 2024 iMac and I decided to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard and I am so happy that I did. This keyboard is amazing and really does sound like raindrops falling. The keyboard was easy to connect to my iMac via bluetooth. It also works well wired and I’ve had no issues with the keyboard so far. It’s very fun to type on and its very responsive! I highly recommend this keyboard if you’re coming from an iMac keyboard or if you want to get a mechanical keyboard.

Love this keyboard!
The quality is very good!
Aluminum case, on the heavy side, which is what I want!
The sound is amazing, the typing feels great, I use it at work and get compliments. The sound is on the loud side but no one has complained to me, matter of fact, they know I’m working hard when they hear my typing.
5 stars, you get your money’s worth.

Purchased the pro in e-white. The other models are more reasonably priced, but I prefer the textured back plate.
Build quality feels really nice. The aluminum doesn’t feel cheap and the e-coating was almost perfect (1 small imperfection, not a big deal). Case is perfectly balanced with no wobble and has hidden screw design so looks very clean.
The e-white isn’t really white, but more of a cream. Similar to the color of some retro keyboards, but not cheap looking… Other than the little coating chip I have 0 issues with the color coating.
The jwk wob linears that come pre installed perform very well. The factory lube is great and they sound fantastic. More stem wobble than most high end switches in 2024, but it isnt bad. They aren’t particularly special in any way, but they are really good. Some switches you rip off a board and throw away, these aren’t those switches.
The keycaps are pretty standard, and sound ok. They are a little thin but it is not a real problem. High quality aftermarket keycaps did not seem to change the sound of the jwk switches enough to make it worth the cost to upgrade.
The pro comes with a nice looking FR4 plate, though you probably won’t see it much. And it has extensive flex cutting all over, but you probably won’t notice when typing…
*the other models have a PC plate(I think?)
This board is very rigid because of the various dampening layers inside and lack of “high end” gasket mounting. While there is a tiny bit of flex, it isn’t really noticeable while typing.
The gaskets are fine, there is no bounce while typing like you’d get with leaf springs. The foam sandwich is packed so thick there isnt much room for movement. The gaskets in the rainy serve more to try and isolate the case from the rest of the assembly for a better sound.
The stabilizers are plate mount, but rock solid. Very impressed at the quality and performance of the included stabilizers.
While the housings are snug in the plate, and the stabs function well, the factory lube was extremely excessive (Or sloppy? The stab stems werent overlubed…). It was spread all around the stab housing and seeped down from the plate on to the pcb.
Provided the board checks out I plan on doing a couple mods, so the stab lube problems are not an issue for me, it could be an annoyance for others.
My main issue with this board is an annoyingly placed on/off switch under the caps lock key, which may be a bonus for some people? The wireless dongle also comes loose in an accessory bag, and has no storage area in the board. One more issue is that while it supports via, there is no qmk support.
With regards to the performance, the 2.4 is quite good. Same with wired. Surprisingly this board was found to have very good latency despite only being 500hz polling rate.
If curious, check youtube for rainy75 latency tests. This keyboard has lower latency than many popular 1000hz custom keyboards. This isn’t a gaming keyboard, but it works well enough as one.
IT WORKS! Time to mod…
The rainy is super easy to take apart, the screws are hex which is amazing.
The batteries are easy enough to replace should you ever need to. And there is more sound dampening than any one keyboard needs.
Did not encounter any major issues tearing this down, though with all the layers it is a little time consuming. Thankfully the issue with the factory lube didn’t cause any serious problems, it just made a mess.. Really, it’s everywhere… On the back of the pcb, between the dampening layers. Ugh what a mess…
Force break mod and teflon/poron stabilizer pads do basically nothing to the sound profile of the base board.
With the foam removed the keyboard sounds better than expected and the case sound isn’t too high pitched (with force break/teflon stab pads). The flex without foam is weird and uneven due to the amount of cuts in the pcb and plate. Could apply UHMW tape on the flex cuts to mitigate some of it easily enough if set on no foam.
For stabilizers tx ap 1.2mm screw-in fit perfect and work great. Probably not worth the upgrade as the plate mount stabilizers were really good. The stock stabs in the fr4 plate also produce a deeper sound than the pcb mounted tx stabs. This probably holds true for the pc plate as well.
There is a possibility that the tolerances of certain stabilizers like tx ap might not play nice if running the rainy all flexy without foam. There isnt a lot of wiggle room in some new stabs. With as much uneven area flex as a foamless rainy has, there could be problems.
Tried a few different linear switches with the rainy. Because of the way the keyboard is set up they all wind up sharing a very similar pleasant base sound. If you want to notice a little more pillow/flex with the stock foam setup try higher weight switches.
TLDR:
Does almost everything extremely well, but nothing perfect. Small issues can be found but no deal breakers for the price. Mods/upgrades not required to sound/feel good.

To begin with, I love mechanical keyboards, I have a Keychron that I used for years, but then felt that I wanted something different. After watching a review online, I discovered this keyboard. I love the build quality. It’s built like a house.
You can feel the weight and overall quality of the aluminum frame. The design of the board is also beautiful. The back plate and mirror reflection give this keyboard a uniqueness that is hard to compare. The typing experience with the Violet switches is very smooth and linear, it took some time getting used to it since my last mechanical -keyboard had brown, gateron switches that required I believe, 55 grams of force to actuate, this is much smoother. I feel that with these linear switches, my typing speed has increased. The experience typing with this keyboard is hard to describe, but I’ll describe it as smooth and snappy. I don’t make too many mistakes, the keys feel very comfortable when I’m pressing on them. One of the main reasons why I went with this Keyboard was the acoustics.
The sound I would describe as marbly and creamy. It’s very pleasant on the ears and very soothing. If you’re in the market for a mechanical keyboard, or you’re an enthusiast, this is a great option. There many great options for about 100 dollars, and this is could very well be the best keyboard for the money. For me, the selling point was the color, and the build quality, this is not a cheap plastic keyboard with weight, this is Aluminum and has a premium feel to it. Similar to an Apple product. It feels premium.

Fantastic quality. Tough to find a good keyboard like this at this price! What impressed me the most was the stabilizers.
