Functionality and typing feel
Of course, this budget keyboard can’t show off with physical features like special keys, but you replace the right Windows key with a macro key and add all kinds of additional functions via the new layer. Extensive RGB lighting control, media buttons, volume control, and profile switching are all accessible via keyboard shortcuts. The attached overview from the manual is quite helpful for the beginning, but the labeling on the keys themselves is also quite clear.
The installed Red switches from Huano have the typical linear switch characteristic without audible or noticeable trigger point. With the 45g actuation force as well as the 2.0mm travel to the switching point, one keeps to the template of MX Cherry, but has a minimally noticeable variance in the keys with ± 0.3mm. The stability could also be better, the keycaps can be “wobbled” effortlessly. The press-through itself could also be a bit smoother, with some keys scratching a bit.
I missed a palm rest a bit at the beginning, but you get used to it depending on how you write. In the long run, though, I would definitely advise buying one more separately there. Noise-wise, the keyboard is in the upper midfield, despite the “recessed” switches. Here are a few samples in the angled position on the Skiller SGP2 mouse pad.
Normal writing:
Empty tests one at a time:
You can hear the somewhat wobbly stabilization of the keycaps on the keyboard, especially with the space bar. It also sounds a bit hollow in direct comparison to other keyboards with “floating keycaps”. On the one hand, this might be due to the construction, but plastic instead of aluminum might also play its part.
