Review on HAVIT RGB Backlit Wired Gaming Keyboard with Kailh Latest Low Profile Blue Switches - Mechanical Keyboard HV-KB395L (Black) by Mahmut Ojeda

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great, but last-mile fixes are needed in the next generation.

This is a review of the 104-key HV-KB395L. The build isn't bad, but they used an aluminum backplate, which is too thin and flexes a lot. If you press too hard in the center, the chassis will flex itself and smack the table. But I don't foresee anything broken. Stiffness issues can be solved with a bit of manual chopping but that keeps me from giving this product 5 stars. All switches fit together and look great. Very quiet, if a bit high when clicking. The thing types well, much less typos than the brown K70 I've had, much better key travel, but that's personal preference. Overall I'll probably stick with it until something better comes along, low profile, short travel with super clicking switches. The only thing I think I need to do is add a mid rubber foot and something to stabilize the back center and just add more rigidity to the structure. few dollars. Thus structural problems are solved to 99%.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Expensive
