Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's not flashy, and the keys aren't backlit (-1 star) but function keys do a decent enough job of replacing them though. Extra wasd keys are included (with different design) also included is a tool, a key puller.

Build quality is surprisingly good with a nice weight to it. It's much heavier than it looks due to being reinforced with steel. The unit itself is extremely sturdy and rather heavy compared to the standard keyboard today. Pride in product durability ...  Read More

Spacebar has even uglier impact 500 written in huge letters. It does take a bit of getting used to though, some of the keys are smaller than a regular keyboard, but in general it is something that a decent typist can get over in a fairly quick timefra...  Read More

This keyboard is an absolute joy to use. All function. It's super handy.



Cons

Smart guide keycaps are a gimmick. Not compatible with windows xp, windows vista, windows 7/8 or later.

Price


That price is unbeatable for genuine cherry mx key switches.


Works great so far and for this price i expect it to last forever.


This is a very bare bones keyboard and because of that that price is just not justifiable.


There's no way turtle beach is making money selling these at that price!

Shipping


You'll be hard pressed to find a plain, non-gamery tkl keyboard with genuine cherry mx blue switches at this price point ($50 +...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Right out of the box, you can tell its super premium.


Now then with that summary out of the way, don't buy this keyboard, at least not at full msrp.


[meaning the color of the lettering is a whole other layer of plastic in the keycap, not just a painted on letter which can wea...  Read More

Competitiveness


This is now my go to keyboard and it wiil be even better when i get the decent keycaps for it.


Extra wasd keys are included (with different design).


(if that's your budget, get a filco or cooler master.


Silly gripe:- the function layer, while arguably much better than a filco camo's in terms of layout, doesn't have a calculator shortcut.
