Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ VELOCIFIRE TKL02 Mechanical Keyboard TKL 87 Key Tenkeyless with Brown Switches & White LED Backlit - Ideal for Copywriters, Typists, and Programmers by Eric Aulia

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This keyboard has a lot to offer for the price.

Uses Outemu Brown switches which means it's mechanical rather than membrane keyboard. Unfortunately, I've found that some keys are a bit stiffer than others, which is a bit confusing. Official Cherry MX switches go through many tests to ensure this doesn't happen. Thankfully, that's not a major obstacle for me, so she only gets a -1 star rating for that. Otherwise it's a really good keyboard. It has a strong metal feel, so it has nice rubber feet to keep it from slipping, and it has two keycaps, meaning the keys feel solid and the writing shouldn't melt/scratch as easily. It has quite a long cord and multiple lighting effects. The keys don't wobble too much, they're easy to clean, and I like the size of the input bar and backspace. A gamer who switches from membrane keyboards to such switches will most likely notice a difference in response time. Because the trigger isn't at the bottom of the keys, key timing can be a bit premature at first, but after that the tactile elevation allows for better timing reduction. Even if you're not a gamer and just tap on paper, that feel seems to help reduce the number of mistakes I make by just knowing exactly when a key is pressed, rather than the soft feel you'd get on one have membrane. Premium stuff like braided cable and RGB is absent, but the price here makes it a winner at about a third of the price of premium mechanical keyboards. Compared to others in its price range, it's brown switches (quieter), not-too-wobbly keys, rubberized performance, and burly looks that set it apart.

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
