Review on iKBC CD108 V2 Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Switch for Windows and Mac, Full Size Keyboard Upgraded with Mistel PBT Double Shot Keycaps for Desktop and Laptop, Enhanced Build Quality by Reginald Pitt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The keyboard is a workhorse that is comfortable to type on. Fixed minor bugs in 2 or 3 switches (B-stock MX?)

Overall: There aren't many keyboards at this price point that offer MX clears and such great typing. Great hits, great keycaps, nice inclusion of additional keycap colors for modifiers. Problem: Do they use B-stock MX switches to keep the price down? This board has a big problem. 2-3 MX Clear switches were defective. The black case had tiny imperfections in the plastic that stuck out towards the stem (the inner square wasn't perfectly square). This was noticeable when typing. The bars would capture those tiny imperfections in the case when pressing the button when pressed at a certain angle. I fixed it by sawing them back to normal, didn't have to solder, a knife or a small pair of nail clippers did the job, took 5 minutes. This should never happen, I'm not sure if that means they use B-stock MX switches. I have never seen this issue on my blue, tan or tan Outemu MX board. Also, I only have 2/4 yellow arrow keys on my keyboard, which is fine. Also added additional colors for keycaps. really nice and gives the keyboard a great look. Typing on the MX cleaning pads is very comfortable. The stabilizers are pre-lubricated and don't rattle on my keyboard. The keycaps feel comfortable and grip fingertips well.

Pros
  • Holding my fists
