Review on Mechanical Keyboard Gaming Keycaps Computer Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Jeff Hall

This is my second mechanical keyboard and I love the extra keys in a very unique format. I'm not a gamer or an expert in the world of mechanical keyboards - I'm a beginner. I want a compact, affordable, and functional keyboard to increase my productivity while working from home. Why did I choose this keyboard? First off, to be honest, that would be a $39.99 price tag. I couldn't find any other mechanical keyboards in this price range with my requirements. Second, this keymap is what I (almost) need. I work a lot with numbers, compile spreadsheets, use VBA and of course email a lot. I've used a 104 key keyboard all my life. All those short keys, combo keys, etc. I started using the 68 keys and felt great with a few caveats: basically no number pad. After careful monitoring, I need not only dedicated arrow keys, but also page up/down, home/end, 10-key numpad, delete key. There have been a few 99-key tuned competitors, but for me they're too fancy/expensive. First of all, these buttons are firm, which I cannot accept. Then I found this - an almost perfect match. Third, it's its compact size. It has 89 keys, six keys from the top center of the full keyboard are replaced by 10 number keys. Its size can resemble a TKL keyboard (ten keys). It's slightly larger than my first mechanical keyboard, the Qisan 68-key keyboard, and smaller than the outdated Logitech K750 (for Mac). My small desktop at home needs a smaller keyboard with the trackball on the left and the regular mouse on the right - an odd setup, but very ergonomic. Fourth, I fell in love with the ability to type on a mechanical keyboard. It has "Jixian" red switches (I have no idea how good they are). Not having used switches from other brands, I couldn't clearly see the difference from a professional point of view. It felt like the feel of a Gatron Brown (which I already have) plus a heavier spring response (it takes a bit more force to press a key). Due to my aggressive writing style, I always hit rock bottom, which makes a lot of noise. At least one thing is clear: it doesn't click. The following is cumbersome: First, it is somehow strange to activate the "number blocking" via Fn + Backspace. After activating the digital lock, the red light under the backspace button lights up. You can then use the numeric keypad. When disabled, you can use Home/End/Page Up/Down/Arrows/Insert/Del. Well, that would be the price to pay to get more benefit. It will take time to learn the new button layout. Second, the PBT keycaps seem to be pretty good (can't comment on the quality as I haven't used expensive models). However, it appears to be 0-PL-. Keys from a different set of keys (see picture for details) - they don't match a bit. If someone is obsessed with quality results, this may not be the one. For me I don't care. As long as there's something I want to work with, I'm spot on. Overall, this reasonably priced ($39.99) mechanical keyboard is almost perfect for my needs. If you're looking for a cheap, entry-level mechanical keyboard, this might be the one to consider. Happy printing! For your health!
