I have dozens of mechanical keyboards, but for much of 2024, I just used the Cyberboard.

So when Angry Miao announced it was coming out with a new keyboard, I was obviously interested.
Distinctive pixel art and USB-C port styled to look like the D-Pad of a Game Boy? This is where Angry Miao excels
This review was made possible thanks to a review unit provided by Angry Miao.
The company did not see the contents of this review before publishing.
The keyboard is sold in three color options: Cyber Grey, Cloud White, and Violet Fury.
This is a 65% keyboard, but the dot matrix panel takes up a lot of room.
Overall, Angry Miao did a fantastic job with the design of the AM RGB 65.
The differentiator with the AM RGB 65 is the dot matrix panel, and it is highly customizable.
As the panel sits above the keys, I was able to get much better use out of it.

The assembled modelcomes in at $199, and that’s a great value all things considered.

There’s even a mini-game.
Thanks to new switches, the AM RGB 65 is outstanding in daily use.
These may just be one of the best linear switches around.(Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Windows Central)

If you don’t need a flashy design, the Q1 Pro is still great. The Q2 Pro is the go-to choice if you want a 65% design.
The AM RGB 65 is Angry Miao’s best keyboard yet.
