Review on Cooler Master SK650 Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Low Profile Switches & Brushed Aluminum Design in Black Layout - Full Features by Jennifer Madrid

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great keyboard with some issues

This keyboard is absolutely beautiful to look at. The buttons, base and backlight are visually stunning and the minimalist design looks flawless. I drooled over this keyboard until I used it. Cherry MX Red switches are responsive and feel very light and produce no tactile feedback other than pressing the bottom. This, combined with the narrow key spacing, makes this setup prone to accidental keystrokes. After my first cup of joe in the morning, this seems like a good setup, but as the day progresses and I get tired, the tight, responsive keys start to show flaws in this design. The most stylish and beautiful keyboard I've ever had, but unfortunately it's relegated to the second row due to narrow key spacing. Also, this is not a low-profile board, even though it uses low-profile switches. The overall height of the keys is about the same as all my other full-size keyboards. Not necessarily bad, but if you really want a low-profile board, this isn't it. The switches and keycaps aren't that easy to swap out (most keycaps can be swapped out, but not all as stabilizers aren't standard), so this keyboard is what it is.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Anything I can add
