About this item

  • LIGHTNING FAST: Optic Switch technology gives you a true competitive edge with optical detection for keys that react at light speed. The continuous optical beam delivers zero-latency, with a 0.2ms response time versus the 30ms of mechanical. Each key is full NKRO and engineered with a calculated shallow stroke. This ensures each keypress can register simultaneously regardless of how many keys are pressed at a time, while also increasing active return rate and decreasing finger fatigue.
  • BATTLE TESTED DURABILITY: The LK Libra is manufactured with weapons-grade anodized aluminum, providing a lightweight frame that is smudge- and fingerprint-resistant. This keyboard has been engineered to withstand over 100 million keystrokes per switch, with a stabilizing bar that reinforces every key for tighter control and a premium, uniform key feel. With features that resist oxidation, water damage, spills, and intense gaming, you and your gear will be able to outlast the competition!
  • WATER RESISTANT & DIGITAL SENSORS: Engineered with nanocoating, a water-resistant barrier, and strategic drainage holes, this keyboard is well designed to ensure you're never out of the fight when accidents happen. The optical sensors are completely digital, freeing them from mechanical failures caused by metal friction, liquid spills, oxidization, and more. These sensors ensure extreme precision actuation and true 1:1 raw input.
  • RGB BACKLIGHTING EFFECTS: Switch between 3 default RGB LED backlighting animations or download our exclusive software for 16.8 million customizable color options and schemes. Change the color and effect to match battle intensity during game play or to represent your squad, guild, or clan. Our intuitive design incorporates easily adjustable dimming or brightening options so it won't distract from your gaming experience.
  • ERGONOMIC DESIGN: This gaming keyboard has a detachable ergonomic wrist rest and additional keys that are comfortably within reach for crucial bindings and macros. The design is ideal for strenuous gaming sessions as it helps to reduce long-term shoulder strain by allowing more neutral mouse and keyboard positioning. The wrist rest comes with two swappable wrist rest faceplates in black and red, and has been engineered to deliver total comfort and quick, convenient stowing and portability.

33 customers mention33 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the response time of the keyboard. They mention that the speed and responsiveness is no joke, the switches in this model are very fast, and super smooth for fast actuation. The distance of each key is great for fast-passed gaming, and the performance is top notch. The construction is simple, efficient, and sturdy, and it has increased their workflow and efficiency tremendously.

93 customers mention41 positive52 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the keyboard. Some mention that it has good build quality for the price, feels solid, and is the best quality product they've used.

46 customers mention17 positive29 negative

Customers are mixed about the noise of the keyboard. Some say that the keys are not too loud or hard to the touch, and the action/sound of the keys is perfect. However, others say that it's a bit loud, has a weird vibration sound every time they click it, and that the switches are very clicky but lack some of the deeper sound.

"...down, but even if you just rest your finger on it and jiggle it they make some noise...." Read more

"...(though they are still plenty loud, which I like)...." Read more

"...The keys are louder than my ducky shine 5, I presume to a higher propensity to bottom out and the aluminum plate not being sound deadening like many..." Read more

27 customers mention15 positive12 negative

Customers are mixed about the lighting of the keyboard. Some mention that it's great, has lighting options, and functions well. However, others say that the back lighting doesn't fully illuminate the text on the keys with more than a single number or letter. The LEDs are bright enough to use in a brightly lit room and can be dimmed with the switch. However some customers also mention that the legends suffer inadequate illumination. However there is zero light bleed from under the keys.

"...The LEDs are bright enough to use in a brightly lit room and can be dimmed with the Fn+up/down keys for night time use...." Read more

"...All the legends suffer inadequate illumination. However, there is zero light bleed from under the keys...." Read more

It’s a bloody good keyboard, I couldn’t be happier.
5 Stars
It’s a bloody good keyboard, I couldn’t be happier.
Bloody is a relatively new, certainly lesser known name in comparison to the big names like Corsair, Razer and Logitech; but I’d argue that Bloody’s bloody good quality matches or maybe even tops the highest end keyboards from all of the aforementioned big names. To hit a home run even further, Bloody’s in-house optical keyswitches use lasers rather than traditional copper based metal switches. The difference isn’t exactly immediately noticeable, but in going back to my Razer Blackwidow; I could feel the difference was there. LinusTechTips once described the older version of this keyboard’s keyswitch speed as the difference between 144hz and 240hz monitors; the difference is there, but it’s not nearly as pronounced as the difference between 30hz to 60hz, or even 60hz to 120hz. And if you’ve gotten used to 240hz (in this case, Bloody’s optical keyswitches), 144hz just feels off and a little strange (traditional Cherry MX keys).If you’ve seen the pictures of the optical keyswitches, you’ve probably noticed they look pretty strange. I myself was wondering whether or not a (normal) custom keycap set would work with them – and let me answer that question: they will. The keycaps themselves, and the little ‘+’ that slots the keycap onto the switch, are identical to the keycaps of other mechanical keyboards. As a bonus, Bloody includes in the box TWO sets of extra keys for Q,W,E,R,A,S,D,F (the gamer layout) and even a little keycap puller tool. One set is clear with black text and similar plastic to the normal keycaps, the other is red with a noticeable slightly rubbery feel and an indent similar to what Logitech puts on some of their gamer-oriented keyboards. Strangely, each type of keycap has a different font; which is certainly interesting. While personally I’m not a fan of the strange keycap shape, I really appreciate that Bloody includes them with the keyboard; I bet quite a few people would be very happy to have them. I have no room to complain here, but I would have liked an extra set of keycaps for the arrow keys; though you can easily use any third-party set if you care about it that much (I certainly don’t).My keyboard is the “orange switch” model which is described as “tactile and clicky”. If you’re a fan of MX-blues, I think you’ll be happy here. If you’re a fan of Razer’s Razer Green keyswitches, I think you’ll be even happier. I was very, very surprised with how similar the switches felt and sound to my Blackwidow. I can’t speak on behalf of the “brown switch” model, but I really, really love how these switches feel. Before buying, I was worried I wouldn’t like how they felt; a problem I had when testing other keyboards with Cherry MX-Reds, Browns and even Speeds. At least to me, these switches feel as fast as the speeds, as tactile and clicky as blues, without being quite as loud (though they are still plenty loud, which I like).As for the rest of the keyboard, it feels very high quality. Bloody states that they use a “weapons-grade anodized aluminum” and I certainly believe that they do. I felt very little if any keyboard flex with a reasonable amount of force given to it, and I truly believe this keyboard could hold up to a lot of abuse. The plastic in the keycaps is very nice, I have no complaints about the feel of any part of this keyboard. As for design; unlike older models, Bloody has dialed back a bit on the gamer aesthetic. If the corners were in a perfect rectangle and not the hexagon/octagon-esque shape and the lights on the sides of the keyboard turned off, I don’t think anyone would give the keyboard a second glance in an office environment. With that said, I’m glad they didn’t give up on the gamer aesthetic altogether; I like my keyboards to have a little bit of flair without going overboard. The hexagon/octagon-eqsue corners are very subtle and don’t affect my placement of the keyboard at all. I’m especially fond of the lights on the side of the keyboard which read “Light Strike Gaming Keyboard”, while the words aren’t customizable; the lights behind the text are! The little feet on the rear of the keyboard, for those who choose to use them, are very rubbery and do not slip at all on my desk. Nor do the pads on the bottom (as I don’t typically use the feet).This brings me to the software and LED customizability, which isn’t perfect, but is very easy to use and I personally found the tool just as easy to use as Razer’s Chroma configurator. I use a 4K monitor, and it would seem that Bloody’s “KeyDominator2” software has a little bit of a scaling issue, but it’s minor and I imagine wouldn’t be difficult to fix in a future update. With that said, like any keyboard configurator you’ll likely only use it once in a great while; so the scaling issue I experienced is extremely minor in the grand scheme of things. I’m not entirely sure how capable the software is to do really advanced animations and the like – but I was able to recreate my custom keyboard animation that I had on my Blackwidow in about 10 minutes; I’m very happy here. If macros are your thing, I don’t think you’ll have any trouble making those either.There are two ways to change the LED effects on the keyboard; FN + F12 cycles through 6 defined/preloaded animations, and FN + any of the number keys can pick a specific animation you have defined/preloaded. Custom animations you make can be saved directly to the keyboard and used on another computer without installing any specific drivers or extra software. When I plugged in the keyboard for the very first time, it was on and ready to go seemingly instantaneously without needing to install a driver; much like how a lot of Logitech products are.The last thing that I want to touch on is the packaging that the keyboard comes in. Soft but sturdy white foam surrounds the keyboard inside the box and the keyboard is wrapped in bubble wrap in the middle. It would take a lot of effort to damage this keyboard in shipping, and the extra effort Bloody put into assuring the keyboard would be safe makes me respect Bloody just that much more. The box is also quite sturdy, easy to open and I would recommend hanging on to it if you ever intend to travel with your keyboard. I mention this only because the packaging for my Blackwidow was really bad in comparison.I really, really love this keyboard and I don’t think my money could have been better spent elsewhere. Bloody, I really hope you keep up the good work and make more gems like you have here. I’m very happy, and I think this keyboard will serve me for a very long time. I’m going to have to look into making the ‘optical’ switch to a Bloody mouse.
