Title says it all!

I purchased the RG40XXV and overall, I'm very satisfied with the product itself. The build quality is excellent, and it works just as described—perfect for retro gaming enthusiasts. The price was very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality you get.

The only downside was the delivery time. It took a while, but I expected that as it probably came from mainland China. It was worth the wait however and I would likely order from here again. Cheers!

Reason I chose this business:

A friend recommended it to me.

Shipping was pretty fast. Have to be patient as it does come from over seas. BUT, its worth the wait! The keyboard has such a good clockiness to it and the response is great for a wireless keyboard. Let me also say that this thing is like 6 pounds, doesnt sound like much but i love it..

First, my credit card was getting error coded so many times that one purchase took like 20 minutes of finagling PayPal, then, as soon as I got the payment down, the delivery address automatically changed to be the same as my billing address, so with one button click, which was fairly careless on my part, but I've never figured that the site would change the address of deliver like that. Also, I thought I'd be receiving the Dock Stand with the WIN 4 2024 PC. That may have been a misreading of the description on my part, but from what I read, it Read like it came with the dock. Either way, I'm just glad it came in.

I sort of only contacted their discord... But I never once got a response on discord. Not sure what to expect.

Reason I chose this business:

Because the Amazon dealers were shady and the official seller was out of stock.

Reason I chose this product:

They look like they fit my purposes for power and portability and they fit well together

I paid for priority shipping and processing however had to follow up and email over a week later as my order status had not updated. Once I chased it it was sorted but can't say I was impressed with paying extra for priority which I didn't get.

Had an issue with delayed delivery but it was resolved however I paid for priority shipping which I didn't receive.

The keyboard I ordered was a Rainy75 which is a great keyboard. It was shipped from China so it took about two weeks to arrive. Which would have been good to know prior to purchasing but that's ok.

First time mechanical keyboard buyer: had hope this one would go along with some custom keycaps I had for awhile and it does! The light baby blue surface is in this pleasing matte application. But of course, the typing experience was what stood out more, I can't go back to regular keyboards. The sound is so creamy and marble-y out of the box and the switches feel so smooth! I had to switch them out on the letter keys tho since I prefer the typing experience on tactiles. Overall I'm glad I made this choice for my first keyboard. Now I just have to figure out if I can customize the knob as well since it looks like it can be easily swapped out. The lights are fun too but I usually prefer to keep them off.

Reason I chose this business:

Had the best deal for this keyboard.

Reason I chose this product:

For the color, layout and knob inclusion.

Item when received is fantastic, does everything you would want and need in a retro Handheld, item took a little over 3 weeks to arrive and considering it is coming from China don't to bad, BUT when paying for priority shipping for £6.99 and it comes the same time as normal shipping seems a little bit of a scam and not worth the money.

Reason I chose this business:

What very competitively price for item I wanted to purchase.

My keyboard is very nice for the price - $55. The color scheme is nice if you like plain colors. I don't generally but I got an ergonomic keyboard for work so it's fine. The keys are smooth and I've gotten a lot of compliments about how satisfying the typing sounds and the rgb lights (which I didn't know they had!)
Might have to buy one another one in the future or a different set of keycaps

Reason I chose this business:

I wanted a custom keyboard with nice colors choices

I always find what I'm looking for and the best deals. The customer service is the best! Super fast response and willing to help with any questions or doubts you may have, especially someone like me who doesn't understand a thing of mechanical keyboards (extremely patient as well!). Shipping fast and secure to Chile tracked from door to door.

Excellent buying experience. It's as many reviewers say. It's a great console and really good for on the go retro gaming. N64 is hit and miss but anything below that is no issue at all. Would recommend upgrading the Micro SD card ASAP.

Great offer for a great price.

Great reviews elsewhere and easy to use!

At the beginning of searching for the keyboard, I was kinda afraid to order something from Whatgeek, but decided to try and find out. The appearance of the website gave me a bit awareness, due to similarity with Epomaker. But I was very surprised about detailed tracking of my order and how fast my order was processed. Product was well packed, no damage, no worries.

1 thing that I noticed is the spam of discount codes to my email while I was selecting keyboard. And the funniest thing is that I received a -15%(?) code, while there was active "birthday" code -10%. So double-check email to get most valuable deal:)
Overall, great order experience. Not a scam = W

Reason I chose this business:

Mostly because of the prices (fair and cheap enough) and because of the keyboard's choice. Had much more to discover than on the amazon/ali/epo

Reason I chose this product:

Answered all my preferences and wishes. I was really excited when I finally found keyboard that satisfied me 100%

First off I really liked how easy it was to order from WhatGeek and the price was perfect for me, secondly the Ambernic 406V plays like a dream and it's well made and brings so much nostalgia back from when I was young playing these games, it can play a lot of higher end stuff as well as older retro games. I'm not supposed to have it until Christmas as it was a present from my wife but she let me test it out and so far it's worked perfectly, now it's got to go away until the 25th December, Definitely recommend this handheld.

Reason I chose this business:

I choose WhatGeek because the price was really fair and one of the cheapest online and because I heard that it was a reliable and trusted company.

Reason I chose this product:

I choose the Ambernic 406V handheld because I like retro gaming and this handheld is powerful and plays so many games for the price and you can add your own games easily as well.
