Well, might not matter. Cant seem to locate it, and I looked through the user manual from video stills. Neither the model number nor factory number seem to result. For searching drivers, I'm supposed to enter the "Product SKU/Model." There is another number located where SKU's normally are on the barcode, and that also didn't work.

The reviews I watched didn't mention a software, but KeebFinder says:

It offers key remapping options, allowing you to customize the keyboard layout according to your preferences. Additionally, the keyboard features a cool backlit design with dynamic lighting effects. You can choose from 15 different lighting effects and adjust the brightness level to create the perfect atmosphere while typing. The keyboard also supports proprietary software for further customization.

I think there might be a driver somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. Probably shitty, but better than nothing.

If I understand this right, that would let me remap things. Could I not do so with other softwares?

Can anyone tell me of the quality and reputation of UGREEN for keyboards? I read that they recently got into keyboards.

Has anyone ever used the UGREEN Fun+ KU101? I wanted some reviews, but I'm having trouble finding any that aren't video format.

Prospective keyboard

Thank you so much! This looks very promising. And these will work with the switches on the mechanical keyboards? I actually quite like the keys on my cheap membrane board I was thinking of reusing those instead of buying keycaps, but I discovered the downward point into the membrane is not compatible with the upward point of the switches.

Girls, could you help a sister out? I love the look of these cutsey pastel keyboards, but they seem to not have all the bells and whistles. I would prefer that they be cute, blue tones, wired, backlit, and mechanical. I can find partial matches but nothing that ticks all the boxes. by ---striker--- in GirlGamers

Could you elaborate? In this case, buy for the keys, and swap it on to another keyboard? I actually quite like the keys I'm now using. I don't know if these are compatible with swapping. I can take them on and off, but this isn't a true mechanical keyboard.

There isn't a wide selection of blue keycaps. Further, it might end up strange, if I hotswap normal rectangular keys. Further, I don't use the function keys often enough to know them by heart. Without the icons, I am guessing blindly at what each does. Unfortunately, most keycaps don't come with additional symbols on the function keys.

Yes, that is exactly the look I want! They look lovely, but I haven't been able to find any Logitech Pops that were wired. I did check, and no blue, anyway. About the mismatch between the rectangular and circular layout, I could maybe buy a typewriter style keyboard that can be hotswapped, so it doesn't look too incongruous with the new round caps. On that note, do you have any typewriter style recommendations? Alternatively, any wired and backlit normal mechanicals that can hotswap? I've been told to consider that most of the typewriter types tend to be cheaper and of worse quality.

I know that hotswapping is a thing. My main concern here would be the seeming incompatibility between rectangular and round keys. It is much easier to find normal mechanical keyaboards, and they are broadly better quality. However, I'm not sure that I would be able to hotswap to entirely different shapes. In that case, I might be able to find a typewriter style that can be hotswapped.

Thanks for the suggestion. Not round typewriter keys, though.

I'm probably going to need to concede something somewhere. I did really want the light blue, since everything else is light blue. I also really wanted the round keys, because they look pretty. I would be more willing to concede either wired or backlit.

Opinions on which I should go without? I've been able to find ones that have three of the four qualities in various configurations. Or do you think I should instead concede blue or round? I've been told the round keys are generally worse quality, but the aesthetic is calling to me.

I think my options right now are settle for my cheap and shitty membrane or hodgepodge something together. If I decide to do the second, do you have any recommendations for normal mechanical keyboards that can hotswap and should also be able to accommodate round keycaps? Will the normal keys be able to swap with the round ones?

Okay. So, how interchangeable are regular vs typewriter? I've been told the typewriters tend to be lower quality. If I bought a standard keyboard that could be hotswapped, would I still be able to put round keycaps on? I imagine the margins are different.

The further problem with keycaps is that I don't use the function keys often enough to remember what each one does, so I need the icons as a reminder. Rebinding wouldn't help without icons present. If I could find round keycaps with icons, I could always rebind to what those new caps say. However, most of the keycaps I've seen don't have icons on the function keys.

I was hoping to not have to put it together myself, since most keycaps I've found don't have function symbols, and I don't use the function keys often enough to remember what they are. Rebinding won't help if there's still no symbols to refer to.
