> 24 hourI recently purchased this gaming keyboard and have been very impressed with its performance. The compact 60% design is perfect for gamers who prefer a minimalist setup, without sacrificing functionality or performance. The 68 keys are all highly responsive, providing a tactile feel that is perfect for gaming. The LED backlighting is another standout feature of this keyboard. The lighting is highly customizable, with a variety of different color options to choose from. The brightness of the lighting can also be adjusted, which is a nice touch for those who prefer a more subtle lighting effect. The build quality of the TMKB 60 Percent Keyboard is excellent, with a sturdy construction that feels durable and long-lasting. The keycaps are made from high-quality materials, providing a satisfying typing experience that is both accurate and comfortable. The keyboard is also easy to clean, with a simple and straightforward design that is easy to maintain. Overall, I highly recommend the TMKB 60 Percent Keyboard for anyone looking for a high-quality, compact gaming keyboard. Its responsive keys, customizable LED backlighting, and sturdy construction make it an excellent choice for gamers of all skill levels.

> 24 hourFor those that love mechanical keyboards, this is a solid little device. Tactile feel is great, noise is minimal with the brown switches. Yes it is wired, but that is super common with mechanical keyboards in this brice range (sub $100). All in all I am very happy with it!

> 24 hourI am a Senior Software Engineer. My entire career I have always used a major brand ergonomic split keyboard. Non-mechanical of course. A while back a couple of my teammates were saying how much they liked their mechanical keyboards. Whenever we were on a Zoom or Teams call I could always hear them typing; clickity click clickity click. The mechanical keyboards they had were pretty expensive. At the time I thought oh I will just stick with my ergonomic QUIET keyboard. Well I had the opportunity to test and review this TMKB T68SE Mechanical Keyboard and remembered the past conversation with my teammates. Now I know what they were talking about. Using a mechanical keyboard is freakin wonderful. I am totally digging the feel and sound of the clickity click clickity click TMKB. So much feedback it makes typing fun again. Did I mention that I am writing this review using the TMKB. Wonderful! So I ended getting the Red Switch. I really enjoy the feel of the keys depressing. The feedback is amazing; feedback in both feel and sound. Now I am curious on how the Blue and Brown switches would feel and sound compared to the Red switch. The size of this keyboard is awesome. A lot smaller than my name brand ergonomic keyboard to say the least. For a software developer the keys that are included on this keyboard are perfect. Some keys require the use of the Fn button but those are keys that are not used all that often with the exception of the End key. Serious, that is the only key but I can live with it. This is the first funky back lighting keyboard I have owned. I like it but I wish this keyboard had the ability to set the back light color to all the same color. The standard is a rainbow color. Not really my style but I can live with it. Oh and you also get kind of feedback with color as the keyboard kind of strobes as you are typing. The standard colors from left to right using darker to lighter shades of Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Pink. Yes Pink. But again, I can live with it. The Caps Lock button is a light intensity of Red but when engaged is a higher intensity of Red. I like it! There are like 19 different color settings you can use but none of them are are just one color. Ugh. But I can live with it. I have used this keyboard on a Windows machine and MacBook Pro. Works awesome in both environments. Still need to test it in a Linux environment but would expect it to work just as good. So what dont I like about this keyboard? I wish it was wireless. Oh how I wish it was wireless. Being wireless would be absolutely amazing. If they start making this exact keyboard wireless I will sell this one to my Son, who is trying to steal this one, and I would purchase the wireless version. So this may very well be the longest review I have ever typed. Hmmm I wonder why. If you want an amazing keyboard who even a Senior Software Engineer can love, get this one. And oh save a chunk of change as well compared to the price of other mechanical keyboards. You will love this thing almost as much as I love it. OK I am taking my fingers off these marvelous mechanical keys now.

> 24 hourIt’s not often you find a full on mechanical keyboard for this price. It’s fully backlit and it’s kind of gorgeous. The build quality definitely gives the impression of $100 keyboard and so far I haven’t had any issues at all with it. I have the blue switch model and I love the tactile clicks and feedback that it gives you. It comes with a few extra pieces but I haven’t had any issues with it whatsoever. Very impressed with what you get for the money here .

> 24 hourPositives: Nice quality keycaps Cheaper LEDs tend to have a flickery look to them if you move your eyes quickly or wave your hand in front. This keyboard barely has that Switches arent name brand Cherry MX Browns of course, but they imitate them fairly well Satisfying to type on Has 19 lighting modes Has Windows Key lock if desired Negatives: No way to raise the keyboard Wired only Review: This is a nice keyboard! I say this having tested quite a few mechanical keyboards now, including name brands and other generics. I dont *love* this keyboard like I have with some others, but given the value its great, and even has less shortcomings than a lot of higher end keyboards Ive tested. Some noteworthy things: * A lot of functions youd expect for a full size keyboard rely on the FN key, such as Home, Print Screen, and the entire F row of keys. * Theres no included way to raise this keyboard up for a better typing angle * Backlight can be disabled if desired Overall this seems like a great keyboard for someone looking for a cheap entry to mechanical keyboards! It compares handily with most $70 mechanical keyboards Ive tried

> 24 hourI ordered the version of this keyboard with brown switches, and right out of the box the board has a good heft to it. The housing is plastic, but it doesnt feel cheap. The keycaps are ok, but it does come with a keycap puller if you want to swap them out. The switches feel decent, and the overall sound isnt bad. The board is slightly high, so I would suggest using a palm rest if you plan on using this keyboard for longer periods of time. The only few gripes I had with this keyboard were that the switches were soldered in (not hot-swappable) and that there are no adjustable legs in the back to adjust the angle. But overall, for the price, this is a great keyboard for someone who wants a mechanical keyboard without the hobbyist pricetag.

> 24 hourThe keyboard I had prior to this one was a 60% and very clacky, but very good, my main issue was that it didnt have dedicated arrow keys. When I saw this (I would say, 62%) keyboard with arrows and quieter red switches, I thought what the heck, lets give it a shot. I have to say Im pleasantly surprised. Im not a huge lighting effects guy, but these are subtle enough and easily controllable that it doesnt bother me, and having it backlit is nice. Comes with a little instruction page and a keycap remover tool so you can swap keycaps or clean the keyboard.

> 24 hourI like this keyboard. It is indeed as advertised - ultra compact. If you are used to a full size keyboard, this may not be for you. As a mechanical keyboard, it does have that great tactile feel and a rather loud click (blue switches) -both of which I found to be pleasant and not annoying . It is quite colorful when in use and lit ranging from left to right the keys are grouped in orange/green/blue and purple backlit light sets against a white base. The keyboard sits raised from your desk surface and has a slight (very slight) slope towards the user. It is very responsive to any input and does include a useful set of arrow keys. Given its compactness, you may find that it takes some getting used to as some keys are not where you might expect, but with some practice, it works great. Note that it is a WIRED keyboard (as mechanical keyboards are), so you will have a USB cord stretched across your lap or desk. The keyboard did sit flush on my desk surface and therefore was very stable and did not rock. As for the aforementioned lights, they can be turned off but, at least in my time with it, they did not turn off automatically after any period of time of non use. Lastly, there are numerous (dozens) of keystroke combinations to control media, invoke a calculator, control volume, brightness and other lighting effects as well as invoke the function (F1, F2, etc.) keys. A card with all of these keystroke combinations/functions listed is provided in the package. I had the blue switches to evaluate and the key covers were removable, albeit with some careful effort. No drivers were required and it was surprisingly and completely plug and play installing to fully functional in less than 30 seconds.
