🎮 Punkston TH61 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact Mini Mechanical Keyboard, Full Keys Programmable - Black (Optical Black Switch) Review

I bought this board after seeing an ad online. I've always used full size boards because I work with numbers all day and need a decimal key. I've always thought about getting a board designed for gaming so I decided to give it a try. I started my life with blue "click" switches and quickly got tired of all the noise, so I switched to speed switches. For that reason I ordered the closest one I could find here using RED linear switches and I have to say they are very similar. I'm very happy with…

I bought this keyboard for two main reasons. 1.) I wanted a quieter keyboard so as not to disturb people in the immediate vicinity. 2.) I wanted to try a 60% keyboard as I used to only use a full size keyboard. I went with the quietest keys, which are the complete opposite of the keyboard I had before.

Where this keyboard really stands out are the LEDs. The color

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,

Okay, here I read this: That's an insane value of $25-$30 with coupon at the time of writing this review (was $25). Optical black switches are good and have good OOTB smoothness. BUT, those switches are DIRTY on the record like crazy! This does not even take into account the rocking of the stem. Literally take a keyboard and give it a little shake and it sounds like a rattling shaker. You can also gently move the top of the switch housing and see how it wobbles around the metal plate. These…
