Great Keyboard: Computers and Accessories

This is a thin and stylish keyboard with a professional look. Something you can own without making yourself look like a gamer nerd. At the moment there are some keyboards that use the new low profile Reds Cherry mx. These switches feel absolutely amazing - they're quiet and bottomless. The travel distance of the flat red switch (3.2mm) is slightly shorter than that of the traditional red switch (4mm), which makes typing smoother. If you are a mechanical keyboard lover, this keyboard would be a great addition to your collection. It's so different from other mechanical keyboards that it's nice to try something new for a change. Pros: - Aesthetically pleasing, minimalist design - Quiet switches - Lots of lighting and effects settings via software - Linear switches so they have no bottom. Very comfortable for long taps, no "finger fatigue" you get from other switches like Cherry mx Blues. Cons: - The spacebar makes a loud metallic rattle. Pressing the normal key sounds like "ping" while pressing the spacebar sounds like "choke". This occurs when the base that holds the metal stabilizer is not firmly attached and there is too much room, causing the stabilizer to make a tinkling sound when you press the spacebar. I put small cotton balls under the stabilizer to solve this problem. This also happens with the backspace key, the return key and the right shift key. This was a big issue for me because it was so loud and noticeable, but this issue is fixable. - no height adjustment - not really a problem for me as I prefer a low one, but a lot of people need it and should be included on every modern keyboard.

Pros
  • Well Made
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance
