Review on ๐Ÿ’ป HAVIT Backlit Wired Gaming Keyboard: Ultra-Thin & Light Mechanical Keyboard with Latest Low Profile Kailh Blue Switches - 87 Keys N-Key Rollover (Black) by Andrew Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great keyboard for Mac users

I use this keyboard with my Mac laptop and it's excellent. The low-profile keys make it feel like you're using a Mac keyboard, unlike Cherry MX-style mechanical PC keyboards whose keys feel large, wobbly, and narrow-topped by comparison. Unlike other backlit keyboards I've tried, this one remembers my last settings even after the system it's connected to has gone to sleep and turned off the power. It has an easy-to-read font rather than a gaming font, so it looks a bit more professional, and the keys have a nice feel but aren't overly loud, making them better suited to general space. So far I've noticed two small downsides: One is that the USB input receiver is finicky. At first I thought the keyboard was broken, but I just didn't connect the cable all the way. Another issue is that the button cover feels a bit cheap. I've been using this keyboard for less than a week and the part of the spacebar that my thumb presses is already starting to shine a little. It usually takes a few months for the keyboard to show this. If you're using a Mac, install an app called Karabiner to remap buttons. Also, by default, the PauseBreak and ScrollLock keys are the brightness up/down keys on Mac.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Quality
