Review on ๐ŸŒˆ NPET K10 Gaming Keyboard: Ultra-Slim, Water-Resistant, Rainbow LED Backlit, Purple by Genene Locson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Keyboard feels good, key conflicts make keyboard useless for my purposes

TLDR: Can't press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Shift+P, Ctrl+Shift+K or Ctrl+Shift+ J at the same time. Impossible to simultaneously press Right+Up+O, Right+Up+N or Right+Up+P and many other three key conflicts. Otherwise, the keyboard is pretty good for the price. I took this keyboard to replace my previous keyboard which broke during a move. This keyboard looked nice and small, it doesn't have a lot of useless plastic like my previous keyboard, the keys are much quieter than my previous keyboard, the typing screen is a separate key, overall I liked the keyboard and felt like it is an upgrade over the previous keyboard. I had before. The downside is that it has serious problems registering multiple key presses at the same time. I haven't had any problems with 2 buttons, but as soon as I try to press 3 buttons at the same time, there are a bunch of conflicts everywhere that cause serious problems. The biggest one that makes the keyboard unusable for me is ctrl+shift+enter. The text editor I use has many Shift + Control related features. and I use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER all the time. I also found that I couldn't jump or sprint while moving down + right in a multiplayer game where cards jump to a comma and cards dashed to a dot (weird mapping, but this was done to you playing with 2 players) on 1 keyboard). You also can't press N while holding down the right button. You cannot press O, P, N, Comma, or Period by holding Up + Right. You cannot press Y, O, or P by holding Up + Left. You cannot press Y, left parenthesis, or right parenthesis while holding down the down + left keys. You can't press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + U, K, or P at the same time. I've had a keyboard with key conflicts before, but I've never had combinations that really caused problems in normal use. Obviously these conflicts probably won't cause any problems if you're just writing documents or browsing the web, but when you're playing a game that uses arrow keys, it's not uncommon to have to move in two directions. at the same time and use the third. Letter key to perform the action. In my opinion, with such conflicts, this keyboard does not have the right to be called a gaming keyboard. In my case, I'm a programmer using a series of long key combinations in a text editor, so anything that constrains any combination of ctrl/shift/alt keys and letter keys is unacceptable to me.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
