Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Punkston TH61 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact Mini Mechanical Keyboard, Full Keys Programmable - Black (Optical Black Switch) by Kevin Pirlet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Incredible value for money. A hidden gem in a sea of โ€‹โ€‹mediocre gaming keyboards.

I don't even know where to start with this keyboard. I was looking for a 60% gaming keyboard and came across this one. It looked good on paper, but there are so many gaming keyboards out there now that I wasn't sure it would get any better. The first thing that caught my eye was a true RGB keyboard. You can change templates. The program for changing is easy to use and intuitive. LEDs can also be very bright. Even in a well-lit battle, the RGB keyboard stands out. If you increase the brightness, the colors in the images are displayed perfectly. As for the hardware, there are a few things I really like. Being USB-C is really nice as I'm trying to get rid of all my micro USB devices. There's not really a good reason to have anything with Micro-USB, but you still see other keyboards still using it. The cable that comes with this keyboard is excellent, high quality, braided. The body is solid and practically does not bend. The keycaps feel good and the sound of the board is really nice. I'll be lubricating the switches soon for that extra nice sound, but right away it's great. This keyboard is perfect for gaming. Just having more room for my mouse is great. Being able to sit in a position where my arms are in a natural position and not stretched out as the 10 button takes up valuable space where my mouse is. My only minor gripe with it (and I had to be really picky to notice) is that the keys wobble a bit. It's not bad at all to be honest. I also wish they offered PBT keycaps, but that's such a minor complaint. Didn't read the version for too long - great keyboard for gaming and productivity. If you're looking for a 60% keyboard, try this one. It has all the modern features you would expect and it works great. I'm a keyboard snob, I have LOTS of keyboards and I would still rank this one as one of my favorites.
