My review here: th-cam.com/video/rsJDL2G3xd4/w-d-xo.html
I've since learned to love the 60% layout, and I can now say that this layout is perfect for me! :)
lmao i might get one myself now
How much wobble do you say the keys have? Is it noticeably annoying?
Amazing video dude! Super clean and minimal ;)
Thanks, means a lot! :)
NexusTech okok
so sick one of the best keyboards I've seen for not a bad price and keep up your fantastic video's 🤗
Thank you very much, yeah it's a pretty cool keyboard! :D
Sweet video bro, Clear and consise along with your setup
Thanks a lot! :D
Awesome video!! nice review!!
thank you very much! :)

Nima Y did you receive it? How is it till today?
Very nice review!!! :D
Thank you very much! :)
High quality content :) wish your channel grow up fast :)
Thank you very much! :D
Nice video man! If I had not seen you're subscriber count I would have though you have at least 100,000 subscribers! keep up the great work dude!
Haha thank you, means a lot! :)
I'm trying to focus on high quality content and I'm hoping I'll reach those numbers someday! :D
minimalistik So good man keep it up! :D
I got myself an Anne Pro 2; initially ordered the Kailh Box Whites from Banggood.com however the delivery time was delayed MASSIVELY and I settled with the Gateron Browns; to say going from Razer Greens to Gateron Browns was a massive improvement is an understatement. The best way to describe them is a smooth and chunky and they feel great; the sound as well is just so smooth I love them. Would definitely suggest browns over reds however I've only tested Cherry MX Reds not Gaterons but brown is certainly the choice to consider :D
One thing I did to mitigate the loss of the arrow keys was to map them to the keys in the bottom four corners (after swapping the alt and fn and doing appropriate remapping in the app). I've found that it works surprisingly well, but only if you don't use those particular modifiers in that corner.
Wow, that's a great idea, will have to try that!
Thanks a lot!
Nice video. More like this to come?
Hey thank you!
I modded my keyboard a bit so I might make a video about it to show off what I did to it, but other than that, I will not have keyboard-related content soon I think. I will focus a bit more on clean setup tips, audio gear and stuff like that. But keyboard reviews will be back someday whenever I get tired of that one haha! :P
Great vid, subbed
Thank you, appreciate it! :)
also btw I decided to buy the same keyboard because of your video, so thanks! ;)
Hey Minimalistic I Really Like The Anne Pro Because For One It Has Good RGB Lighting. For Two It Has Good Clicking Noise With The Blue Switch And For Three It's White
Just ordered this in black with blue switches. I'll re-comment once it's in my hands and I can have a go at it, but as a more casual user, I think I'll be okay. Good video and nice channel btw.
Thank you very much! :)
Hope you'll like it!
I ordered blank black keycaps and it looks phenomenal, really tempted to buy the black bottom case (it can be bought off aliexpress for 15$ shipped) but it's only for aesthetics to I'm on the edge haha!
Have you or anyone found a aluminum case, pref matte black that would work with this? Seems screw holes are different then what I can find. Thanks in advance.
+Minimalistik do you recommend this one over the Master keys pro S as I'm a very serious gamer and I don't want a low end or a low quality keyboard, and as usual keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment! :)
I'm pretty sure the Master Keys Pro S will be a better quality keyboard (pricier though).
The Anne Pro is a really special product (RGB, mech, bluetooth and wired) so it's really meant for people who want to deal with the slightly unstable behaviours it can have.
As a gamer, the bluetooth mode is useless as it will introduce too much lag.
For a more "stable", always working keyboard, the Masterkeys Pro would be better I guess.
I also have a CM Quickfire TK Brown and the quality is amazing for the price, so the Materkeys should be on point.
Ok thanks but I don't wanna go for something like the TK cause its a single color LED and im looking for a cheap and good quality keyboard i've seen the masterkeys pro go down to a pretty good price in sweden where i live so thats why i asked you :) but i've also gotten alot of recommendations for the anne pro instead cause of the price and better keycaps and better rgb and case and so on and i heard that the gaetronn switches are superior to cherry mx so idk what i wanna get it's a difficult choice XD but thanks again if u change your mind of what i should get for my suitability then tell me atm im using a devestator II
Wish there was a keyboard using the same technology as your wireless mouse is using... The wireless gaming mice from logitech are AMAZING! Using the G403 Prodigy Wireless myself, and LOVING it.... if only Logitech could make a mouse keyboard wireless gaming combo
Thank you for your comment! :D
Yeah, I'ld love that as well!
I have a G900 and the lag can't be perceived, I'ld love if Logitech made small mechanical keyboards with the same wireless technology!
Someone in the comments linked to a reddit thread where people have found a way to minimize the lag to an almost perfect way, so I will probably try that soon to see how it performs. Maybe I didn't have that setting on when I tested the bluetooth function.
As of now, I've been using it wired as it's 100% reliable.
if you try out that wireless "lag free" method make a video, I will watch the shit out of it! :P Because if it actually works well I will order it assap
this keyboard is like being design by an angels! the white one have some angelic feeling!
It's pretty awesome, yeah! :)
is this the Obins Anne Pro CK101 ?
or ajazz ak33, magicforce 68, teamwolf zhuque X05 as well as the other ones mentioned below
I haven't tested any of these, but I'ld like to try the Magic Force 68, since it has many switch features and seems to have a pretty good build quality!
However, only the Anne Pro has the wireless (bluetooth) mode, all the other ones are wired only if I recall correctly.
minimalistik I finally bought the magicforce 68 and feels really good definitely would recommend it
Cool, might be my next keyboard then! :)
minimalistik love your vids btw ahaha
I'm pretty sure you can game on this keyboard. I've read that even with wireless mode, there isn't any noticeable input lag even at 5 meters. I've done some research and apparently this is an issue which you can fix by enabling/disabling some weird feature by pressing some key combinations, I saw a thread on reddit.com/r/AnnePro about it.
Here's the thread if you haven't seen it. www.reddit.com/r/AnnePro/comments/5npkms/laughably_bad_bluetooth_is_my_unit_defective/
dude i might get dat, thanks bro
Omg Its Sloth Gaming I got it for 55 usd in Indonesia
Yosua Nangin How did you get it soo cheap 😭 I want it so bad
I use the groupbuy.id it actually 65 usd, my bad
Cool! No problem! :)
When i click the link it sends me to a black keyboard
Where can I buy white keycaps that have clear letters on them so I can use it on another keyboard with LEDs?
These seem to be what you're looking for : www.banggood.com/White-Dual-Injection-ABS-Translucent-Backlit-104-Keycap-For-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-p-1075695.html
Shipping might take 1-2 months though from sites like banggood or aliexpress.
Hope it helps! :)
I don’t have a pc but I still like watching these videos
haha thanks!
Im about to buy this keyboard and wanted to game wirelessly is there any thing i can do to reduce lag.
You could try various bluetooth adapters.
I think the one that comes with the keyboard is probably not the best out there.
And you could try having it as close as possible to the keyboard without objects interfering.
I can't say if it will be enough for gaming though.
Right now i have CK108, I'm tottaly fine with it but sometimes i want to have that witeless mod. Maybe my next mech keybord i will buy in next 2 years and it will for sure wireless. Maybe companies like corsair will introduce their wireless rgb, mechanical keybord. But nowadays if i had a chance to buy new keybord, it would be anne pro rgb for sure!
It's a pretty cool keyboard!
The wireless mode is not good enough for gaming imo, but it's getting there.
Corsair released their first wireless mech keyboard I think! (K63 ?)
Yeah, you are right. But K63 doesn`t have rgb lighting and for me it`s downside. If Anne had TKL size, then it would`ve be the best mech keyboard in my opinion.
Question : Can I use bluetooth option while wired? If so, how is the switching between cable and not cable and how fast is it to connect? I'm mainly asking this because I think I would find it awesome to game on a cable, and to reply to messages on my phone, which sits on a charging dock!
Hi, I just tested this feature, and it doesn't work.
The keyboard can be connected to a phone over bluetooth while connected over usb to a PC, but I haven't found a way to type on the phone that way, it only sends a signal to the PC. The only way it can work is if both devices are connected over bluetooth, with the wire unplugged, and then you can quite easily switch between both.
hope it helps! :)
Thanks for trying it!
How quickly does it switch between each device if one decides to actually game without a wire?
what keyboard is the one you show up at 2:40??? the black one
CM Storm Quickfire TK
Does the rgb lights look better on white keyboard or black keyboard
A white plate would reflect better RGB lights
Quality video, thanks for the review. Ended up buying this keyboard, lets see how it feels and works! :) Also subbed, really liking your style of doing videos, keep it up mate!
Thank you very much, hope you'll like the keyboard! :D
Odd question, do you know the type of keys are on the keyboard. I know that they're similar to cherry brown's, but I'm talking about the key caps...if that makes sense.
Not sure I get your question..
You mean the key switch or the actual key cap?
They're tactile, but not clicky, if that's what you mean.
purpleecho1 I think they are advertised as PBT Doubleshot..
no gaming? please expand on that part. please i want to game with it.
Gaming is not really possible using the bluetooth mode, as there's too much input lag, and it's inconsistent.
However, using the wired mode, it works well for gaming! :)
Hope it helped!
Is it possible to use this keyboard wireless to play League of Legends? Or will it lag too much?
The lag varies depending on multiple factors (bluetooth receiver, location, etc.) but I would advise you to use a cable if you want to use it for gaming. In my tests, the lag factor was variable which made it unsuited for gaming. It was pretty intense some times, and unnoticeable at other times. Hope it helps 🙂
what was the mouse the you were using ?
I'm using the Logitech G900 wireless mouse! :)
It would be nice if you lower the volume a little bit
Yeah, I learned from that and I turned down the background music a bit in my newest videos. Thank you for your suggestion! :)
Hi man, you seem to have experience with chinese online stores, and im about to buy a mi mix but not sure about the reliability of these sites. Any thoughts about gearbest.com, trading shenzhen and banggood? (the phone is cheapest in gearbest, but your thoughts?)
but regardless, good video, keep it up!
Only ordered from banggood yet.
I think it's really similar to buying from chinese sellers on eBay.
Shipping can take a month or 2, an stuff might get lost in the mail, but prices are pretty good.
Don't know about gearbest.com, but I feel it's probably the same :)
Hey, I just got this keyboard in - I noticed it sometimes randomly stops working via Bluetooth. I'll be typing and it will stop responding, then a couple seconds later work perfectly. Any ideas?
Not sure what the issue is, but since I reformatted my PC, the bluetooth performance has gone done a bit, with unwanted repeated keys and a bit of lag as well.. :/
Ayy new video :)
Est-ce que t'as un Twitter ou juste YT? Bonne video en passant
Juste une chaine TH-cam pour l'instant.
Merci! :)
Hey, t'es francophone ? (Et si oui, tu utilises souvent du ansi ?)
how long is the USB cable provided?
The included cord is flat and not that great, I think it's 4-6ft long but I don't remember exactly...
"it would be perfect if it had arrow keys" lol then don't get a 60% keyboard layout
Yeah, it's quite ironic to have a complain like that with a 60%
Some 60% keyboards have arrow keys, the matias 60% keyboard as an example.
I wish there was a 60% bluetooth RGB mech keyboard with arrow keys.
Nothing ironic in there as it's only a matter of putting all those features together.
With the Anne Pro, you can still remap the bottom right keys to arrow keys, but you loose some keys that can be useful.
that's a 65% keyboard then.
the matias isn't 60%. 60% keyboards don't have arrows. I think the matias would be considered a TKL keyboard or a 66% since it only has 66 keys.
60% boards are boards that have the standard layout between tilde and the numeric numbers. + alphabet and standard keys. Also thanks a lot for this review, I was considering on buying this board but decided to just go with the poker 3 because of the input lag you mentioned. I'd rather just drill a hole to hide the cable than to be wireless and have input lag.
ultra late reply, but matias call it themselves a 60% keyboard : matias.ca/60/pc/
Also, I got used to the lack of arrow keys (using Fn + WASD instead) and I love it that way!!
Can the anne pro keyboard be turned on azerty ?
You can map keys to whatever you want using the bluetooth app, so while I haven't tried it, I'm pretty sure you could! :)
What's the mousepad you are using?
minimalistik thanks
is there a 10keyless versiion of these?
I don't think so, would be cool though!
could i get a link for this ?
Super late response, but here it is. sorry haha :

How long does the battery last?
Not sure exactly, as I use it mostly wired.
My bluetooth adapter is not that great and the keyboard disconnects from it after 15 minutes.
Also, when the battery dies, the keyboard resets.. kind of bad haha.
There was a firmware update coming to fix this, but I don't know if it was ever released.
anne pro rgb or drevo calibur 71?? the anne cost 76€ while the drevo cost 47€ I will be using the primarily for gaming
FOX GAMING drevo is awful. it uses bluetooth 3.0 while the anne uses 4.0. 3.0 has insane lag while the anne has a lot less. wired is best for gaming but the anne is probably the best bet for wireless and wired.
John Hanson thank you very much for your reply ; )
Exactly, what John said! :)
mine has no lag, your cpu must be weak, in any case gamers dont use wireless
You are wrong, DREVO use BT4.0 now. I bought both of them on armyourdesk.com, and the price of anne pro is $77.99
What type of cat is that
You wanna switch with my black? :D i want the whites.
What is your monitor model?
Hey there, it's an LG 27UD68-W 27" 4K IPS monitor!
It's pretty good, I like it a lot! :)
does this ever show up on Massdrop? not sure if i trust buying it anywhere else.
Never saw it on massdrop...
Got it from banggood, but it took more than a month for it to arrive.
Hope it helps!
If you are going to get it from BangGood, you might want to use PayPal just for the additional security.
Can someone link me to this (the all white version)
www.banggood.com/APP-Control-Anne-PRO-Blue-Red-Switch-RGB-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-p-1064055.html
This is where I purchased mine, however the white version seems sold out...
Whats the app for this keyboard called?
Not sure about the Play Store, but on iOS it's called "obins".
What game are you playing at 1:58?
Dying Light I believe.
Love your voice
Thanks, I do not get that comment often! haha :)
Do you know how i can get the backlight to stay on permanently? it turns off after some time of not using the keyboard
I fixed this by updating the firmware.
Cicada how did u update the firmware??
the firmware and guide is only available on the chinese version of obins site, so go and translate this site www.obins.net/AnneManualBook/UpdateFwByUSB.html
Mine stays on when it's plugged, but I have not found out how to keep it on when using the bluetooth mode...
Oh cool, I'll go check this out!
This may seem dumb, but in wired mode you don't have to charge it right?
Using the wired mode will charge the keyboard at the same time, so yeah, not necessary! :)
minimalistik is there any battery indikator? For charging
Someone know? Where can I get the app?
I searched for "obins" on the App Store, as that's the App's name.
Should be the same thing for Android!
I could find from playstore with android but I found download link from some random video
Do you use this keyboard when you're editing your videos? If so, don't you find any nuisance with it?
must admit thats a beautiful looking keyboard and all white, which is exactly what im looking for
Yeah, I really like its look! :)
Works well and feels great for the price!
Dude i want the cat
Haha I love him
link
Quick google search for "Anne Pro Keyboard" leads to this and this is where I bought it ! :)
www.banggood.com/APP-Control-Anne-PRO-Blue-Red-Switch-RGB-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-p-1064055.html
I modded mine with an ON/OFF switch and a 3200mAh battery
That's an amazing idea!
Thank you! :D
No typing sound test though, that's what I came for...
I haven't done any as these are standard gateron switches, and many audio tests are available online already, but I'll add this in a next keyboard review! You can check TaeKeyboard's review on it for a typing test.
Dying Light!
No typing test?
Yeah didn't include one as I feel these vary a lot depending on the skills of the typer. It sounds a bit more like a Cherry MX Red than a Brown. I think that TaeKeyboards on TH-cam did a more in depth review of that keyboard as well and I'm pretty sure he did a typing test.
Hope it helps.
I understand, but a typing test is alwas nice to see.
Edvin Landenmark yeah I understand! Will do in my next keyboard review 😊
Me liki like ;) good review by the way
Thanks! :D
J'ai comme l'impression que t'es Québecois, pas vrai?
Exact! :)
I love keyboard like this, But it have no arrow keys
Yeah, that's the main issue.
You can map the "anne", "Ctrl", "alt" etc. section to arrows, but you're getting rid of other useful keys that way, so...
CLONES not copies
I have exactly the same keyboard with the same switches and I'm not happy with it... Battery on wireless lasts 6 hours with RGB turned on (it stays on all the time for me). I haven't noticed any lag via bluetooth. Some of the keys squeak sometimes and not every key needs the same amount of pressure to be pressed down. Most of the time keyboard crashes (and i have to reset it) when it's connected via usb to my PC and via bluetooth to my phone. There's only 25 colors that you can choose from in the software and they look super ugly. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS KEYBOARD AT ALL!
Wow I'm sorry you don't like it.
I haven't noticed any crash on my side, but always turn off bluetooth when it is plugged via USB, so maybe that's why. I haven't noticed the key pressure issue either, although my switches seems to be a little loose. About that battery, the RGB might really be the issue, although that's a bit sad to hear, as I would've like LEDs on wireless with a decent battery life. Maybe we could swap the battery for a bigger one, as it's not soldered and only plugged into the board.
I found the colors pretty vibrant on my side, maybe not as good as razer's RGB models, but on par or better than my Corsair K65.
Does your model have Gateron switches or cheaper alternatives?
What The Vast Majority of the "Ooh-Aahs" have yet to realise is that current motherboard BIOSes do NOT allow for BlueTooth keyboards to gain access.
In other words, one cannot access the PC's BIOS when using a BTooth keyboard. How convenient and "Ooh-Aah" is this?
True, luckily, it also supports a wired connection, which will work in MOBO's bioses
poker or anne pro?
My Poker II Type C edition should arrive within the next weeks, so stay tuned for my review about it! ;)
I'll make a comparative video between the Anne Pro and the Type C Poker II as well.
IM SO DEPRESSED IT DOESN'T HAVE A NUMPAD 😫😫😫😫😫
Well that's the point of this thing, a 60% keyboard, I'm sure that you can find a rgp full size keyboard on the market
Haha, for my part, I'm missing the arrow keys!
minimalistik Lol, I think we just have to minimize our searches to 65%s only. 65%s dont have numpads either but they do have arrow keys and im a video editor so i need to change the shortcuts keys...
Nice video except the music. No matter what music you use 50% ppl will hate it,no point in giving it 1100% volume compared to your voice.
Thanks!
I will probably stop using music for that matter, thanks for the constructive criticism! :)
Logitech Pro
i've read books with better audio quarity...
I simply dropped down the bass in my voice using an EQ.
I'm actually using a pretty good mic (AT4040) and I can attest that my voice is clear in that video.
My accent may be the issue though!
Just so you know, comments like these don't help much!
I hope "quality" is spelled correctly in the books you read!
Wireless mech keyboard are stupid and pointless. The point of mechanical keyboards is to be faster, but when it's wireless then it travels without a wire so it's slower. pointless
Wireless can be super fast, checkout the Logitech G900, which is faster than a lot of wired mice.
Although the purpose of mechanical keyboards can be their reactiveness, most people out of the "gaming" sphere buy them for the feeling it gives. This keyboard's wired mode is using the wire to send the signal, resulting in a lag-free experience.
For what is now 80$ US, this keyboard is an incredible value, and it would be even if it was only wired. The wireless option is really interesting for tablet/phone users who have to write stuff on the go and still want to get the mechanical keyboard switch feel.
All the reviewers for this keyboard are hilarious... Oh the wireless feature sucks... don't worry just use wire. NO. That defeats the the whole purpose of this keyboard as there are wired mechanical keyboards that cost even less. Unacceptable.
It doesn't defeat the purpose as 60% keyboard with RGB LEDS alone are rare at that price point.
For the money spent, it's a good value even when if it didn't have bluetooth.
Also, with firmware upgrades, the bluetooth experience gets better (like always on LEDS, and less lag)
And it depends on your bluetooth receiver as well, some people experience no issues with it.
Oh really? Show me
Plus, there still is the option to use the board wirelessly on an HTPC and wired on your gaming rig.
