Review on Havit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: 89 Key Wired Keyboard with Red Switch & PBT Keycaps - Ideal for PC Gamers (Black) by Marco Habersham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's good. Damn, that's good. This keyboard is good.

Bought his board because I wanted a smaller keyboard layout but because of my wife's work we couldn't turn down the 10 key board. I managed to find this board and thought "hey looks good" but I was skeptical about brown switches as I usually like something tactile or even clicky. Linear switches took a little getting used to, but the more I used them, the more I liked them. I love love love this board. It's solid and has a chunky, retro-style body that gives the keyboard a confident weight and ZERO flex. I'm very happy with the overall quality and the fact that the cable is braided feels very comfortable. The 10 key is a little odd and not as intuitive as that of a full size keyboard, it's quite comfortable to use and great. Compromise as I don't have much desk space. The keycaps that come with it are very good, they look like PBT and the color scheme is super cool. I almost felt guilty about replacing them but I have a set of side printed PBT caps that I really like and went with these instead. If you're looking for a 60% fee but don't want to give up your 10 keys, this is a great option.
