Crane of Lure 108

A complete, solid and above all beautiful keyboard to look at! The proposed theme can tell us a lot about Chinese culture, also appreciating the study that was made on us, thanks to the well-known illustrator and designer Li Huan.

A traditional model in all respects, especially at a functional level: wireless power supply with AA batteries, no LED lighting, no desktop software, soldered switches.

I can therefore say that it is a keyboard purchased mainly for aesthetics, because for the proposed list price, the functions mentioned are also present on much cheaper products. In general, however, I feel like promoting it, and with my 30 minutes of video you will be able to understand it thoroughly!

I'd originally owned a full-size Panda Version 1, but got mine stolen, so I was looking for another full-size replacement. This beautiful design caught my eye, but unfortunately, there were no variants with the switches I'm used to. I settled on the Daisy L's, the only one left in stock over Black Friday.

Coming from Cherry MX Silvers, the Daisy L's turned out to be an upgrade! They're even lighter, with a more smooth linear feel, and I can tell the travel distance is shorter, since I tend to bottom out when I type. They have a pleasant "thocky" sound when I type. The keycaps have a smooth (instead of grainy) surface. The reaction time seems to be good! I was able to pass a fast rhythm test on Lost Ark on my first try LOL.

The English font is straightforward, which is the biggest reason why I chose this keyboard over other featured aesthetic designs, like the Beijing Opera. The teal, ivory, and red are the perfect combination, and I spend a lot of time simply admiring the keyboard. It's more beautiful than in the photos, like other reviews have mentioned.

The keyboard itself has a very thick and weighted board, and it feels very premium. Absolutely love it!

One con I do have to mention is that I had an annoying initial setup experience where my computer detected the keyboard, but I was unable to type. I had to hold down both WIN keys (unsure if this was necessary), then left WIN+ESC for a few seconds until the CAPSLOCK key flashed, in order to start typing with my letter keys. No drivers were needed. I hope this can help someone else who ends up buying the keyboard.

Crane of Lure 108

I purchased the Crane of Lure with Kailh Prestige Silent keys. It is absolutely stunning, even more so in person than the online pictures depict The details are amazing, and I've received so many compliments on it. I am THRILLED with my purchase, especially the way it complements my office space as my accent wall is the same coloration as the teal of the keyboard. It makes me so happy to see.

The Kailh switches are fantastic, great response. I'm not in development or coding, but do like a good keyboard feel and this delivers. The low/deep tone of the switches is exactly to my sound preference. I prefer some reaction and the mechanical switches also provide that wonderfully.

This is the second keyboard I've purchased in about roughly four or so years and after buying this keyboard, it has by far become my favorite out of the boards I've had in the past and the one I bought from varmillo before.

Never believed that mechanical keyboard could be that good
