The Taro Shake was given the name because of its purple color. It's a Magegee MK-Box 65% with 68 Keys. It's on red linears and the switches are rather smooth to use. This is my second Magegee Keyboard and I did like their Membrane TS91 60% keyboard, and the both of them are surprisingly well-built.

Description
A 65% mechanical keyboard with soldered switches. What drew me to it is the Purple color it comes with. The board is a tray mount and is really cheap. It only supports wired connection, but that is fair for the price. The keyboard supports NKRO and the Stabilizers are decently lubed on it too. There's only white backlighting on it though.

Personal review
The Magegee MK-Box is a really well-built keyboard for the price I got it for. It's quite responsive and it even came in the color I wanted it. The small size is kinda something I gotta get used to because the arrow keys are right beside the shift and right ctrl. Unlike Project Darling Or the Rakk Pluma which has some spacing on it. The backlight on it is quite decent, and I'm actually glad that it's white instead of rainbow or fixed colors so It's a plus, and besides, Most high end custom keyboards don't even have backlighting so the rgb isn't quite as imoportant, But backlighting is a plyus when I am working in the dark.
The purple looks good beside my purple 8BitDo Ultimate 2C wireless controller though and the shades of purple do match as seen on the photos

Future build plans
Might theme the keyboard after Oshi no Ko or maybe off some game characrter, But as of now, I am satisfied with the look and feel
