So if I told you I was reviewing an ASUS keyboard, I’m sure you would think it was an ASUS ROG gaming keyboard right? If you didn’t know ASUS does sell non-gaming keyboards, although they are a bit hard to find on their website. Today I’ll be taking a look at the Jelly75, which is a 75% mechanical keyboard that makes use of a gasket-mount design, has a really unique colorway, transparent casing, taller keycaps, and get this…no RGB lighting. If you were looking for a solid mechanical keyboard from ASUS that was not all about gaming this might be the perfect thing! Let’s take a look and see what the Jelly75 is all about!

Packaging of the ASUS Jelly75 Keyboard (KD201)
The Jelly75 comes in a pretty standard retail box with a picture of the keyboard on the front and the colorway mentioned, which is Orange Meadow. Flipping over to the back there is a bit of information, but not really a lot.
Getting everything out of the box we find the keyboard itself, a USB-A to USB-C cable, 2.4 GHz USB dongle, and a quick-start guide. Interestingly there is a not a keycap or switch puller included.
