User Experience
The box the keyboard comes in is mostly white with a full-color image of the product on the front. There are quite a few details highlighted and the back includes the main features in several languages. When you open the box, you’ll find the keyboard and its accessories safely tucked away within the packaging. The package includes the keyboard, a detachable USB-C cable, the user manual, an extra set of keycaps and a key puller.
While I typically don’t like to make direct comparisons between products, I couldn’t help but notice how similar in design this keyboard was to the NuPhy Air75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard. That’s not a bad thing because to date, that wireless keyboard has been my favorite low-profile keyboard. So the first thing I noticed was that the keyboard sits flush to the desk. There are lifts on the back that can be flipped out, but they don’t raise the keyboard too much. There is a handy attachable lift that I’ve acquired called the ESC Flip Pro. It can be removed and reattached to keyboards and I’ve swapped it between keyboards multiple times. It really helps me with the low-profile, slim keyboards.
I selected the Outemu Brown switches for my keyboard layout. I like the softer feel of brown switches and since the brown switches and red switches are listed as suitable for “Office/Gaming”, I opted for the brown ones. I have red switches in the aforementioned NuPhy keyboard and found the brown switches are a little more clicky than the red switches are. I have found the switches/keys to be remarkably responsive and very easy to type on.
The build quality is amazing with this keyboard. I love the feel of the aluminum frame and it’s very easy to remove keycaps and replace them as needed. I also really love that there is a USB/2.4 Ghz wireless connection option because it makes it very easy for me to switch between my two primary laptops that I have connected to a USB hub. With the Bluetooth connection, which still works very well, there is a lag between switching, but the USB dongle makes it possible for me to swap seamlessly between systems.
My typing experience with the Azure K652 keyboard has been quite enjoyable. The only hang-up I have is when I switch back and forth between different styles of keyboards. If I am typing only on the Azure wireless keyboard, my fingers adapt to it very quickly and my speed and accuracy with typing excel. In order to test this more accurately, I used typingtest.com’s benchmarking test. The image below shows my score in comparison to the average test scores.
Pros
- Long battery life
- quiet-responsive keys
- colorful RGB backlighting
- USB dongle makes it easy to switch between systems
Cons
- Would be nice if it had more of a lift to it
- No 10-key number pad
