TMKB 60 Percent Keyboard,Gaming Keyboard 60 Percent, LED Backlit Ultra-Compact 68 Keys 60 Percent Mechanical Keyboard with Separate Arrow/Control Keys, T68SE, Red Switch

I 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.

This is a very nice and durable product, it was quality made and its functions work great. Very nice and will be used daily.

This is a nice mechanical keyboard. Its not the best Ive used so far, but it is probably one of the most affordable, which would probably be the decision factor for a few people. This is a 65% keyboard, featuring the usual RGB light effects most similar keyboards offer these days (and I personally love) and it makes noise its a mechanical keyboard. If youre looking for a silent full keyboard, with a numeric keypad and no lights, this is definitely not for you!

For 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!

Best keyboard I’ve ever owned

If you are limited on space and are not looking for a fancy fully customizable LED keyboard then this would be a nice option. it is small lightweight and has very nice tactile feedback from the keys. be aware that the LEDs on the keyboard do not change colors just the different types of effects that you can do. I dont make keyboard so Im not sure how difficult it is to have LEDs throughout the keyboard that can be changed to whatever color you want but I would rather them just make the keyboard one solid color and the ability to change the colors for the entire keyboard as I have several other keyboards that do that. I have other expensive keyboards that you could change the color of each individual key to a certain color so I was not expecting the same functionality for half or a third of the price. but I think it looks cheaper than what it needs to when you use multiple colors throughout the keyboard that you cannot change the color of. for me I prefer to have a wrist rest and a full size keyboard with the number pad and if I need one to travel with I have some others that are half the thickness of this one so I wouldnt even say this is something small that you could put in a laptop bag. it would fit without issue its just a lot thicker than what you would need if you were using it for travel. I do like that the USB cable is detachable though so it is easier if you were to put it in a bag. for the cost you do get a nice mechanical keyboard if the clicking and tactile feedback is what youre looking for at a very reasonable price. A few other things to note is Im not a big fan of the font or text that they tried to use at the top of some of the keys such as the number keys especially the ampersand sign. it look like an eight with the top and bottom cut off as the printing of a lot of the keys look like it was cut off or limited. I dont know if that was by Design but I would prefer just something that is clear and indicative of what Im trying to select. it does have a lot of shortcut and function keys which is nice such as opening the calculator play pause skip stuff like that. but to use function keys you have to have their little cheat sheet as its not clearly labeled if you need a F4 or F12.

The clicks of the keys sound satisfying and the lights do not dim. Love this keyboard

I tested a handful of cheap gaming keyboards. I can recommend this one without any caveats. Its not particularly fancy, I found it pretty easy and enjoyable to use. I think its great for the price. As far as the look of this keyboard, I like the simple all white keycaps with. It is backlit, but only in a blue-ish white color. I like the aesthetic because its not trying to look like an *xtreme gamer* keyboard. I could take this into my office and use it without feeling silly. In fact, this would totally work for the cozy gamer aesthetic. I found the keyboard to be a pleasure to use. I like that it has dedicated arrow keys (the other 60% keyboard that I tested did not). The red switches feel responsive, and arent noisy like blue switches. It actually felt as good to type on as another keyboard I tested that was 3 times the price. I was impressed. This, of course, is the most important feature of the keyboard: typing. It connects via a USB-C cable that is included. Its not a coiled aviator-style cable, which is a little bit of a bummer. However, it should be compatible with any USB cable to fit whatever look youre going for. I think its a fine trade-off if this is how they keep the price low... as opposed to cutting corners on the keyboard itself. The question with budget gear almost always ends up being the longevity of the tech. As always, Ill update this review if the keyboard fails over time.

Bought this for writing compact and I love it.

I like everything about this. Its cost is very reasonable. This is my first mechanical keyboard on this size. The next section of this review consists of my thoughts on this KIND of keyboard, features I mightve paid more for if I knew this one didnt have them, etc. At the end are the surprising GOOD parts; things I didnt expect but really appreciate. First thing is that the keys and spacing feel a little too small for my giant hands. Im a 511 mesomorph kinda guy. Size L to Xl gloves. The next thing I noticed is that the RGB lighting is fixed in terms of color. I was expecting each key to be an individual RGB light, programmable, etc. I have since learned that this exists, and it costs more than I am willing to spend on something that I WILL eventually spill coffee over. HOWEVER, the rainbow is very nice looking; more on that later. I bought the version with the red switches. They have a surprisingly light touch and seem to activate sooner than I am accustomed to. People talk about liking clacky keyboards. This has some clack to it, definitely louder than my old Microsoft Natural, but its not crazy. Yes, I have been using an ergonomic keyboard for most of my 30+ years of computer use. My first job gave me one as a 1st anniversary gift and I REALLY learned to touch type on it. So... this feels weird. My wrists are bent oddly. If I start to write my memoirs, I will have to find another ergo-keyboard. RIP my 15 year old Microsoft Natural... sigh. And Im old, so if my joints really start to complain, I will just have to gift this to someone and get another ergo. I got this 60% keyboard because all of the Kids seem to love these. I did not notice that the F-keys are not separate from the numbers at the top. I dont use those very often, but when I do I use them a lot in a session of document editing. So, Ill get used to the Fn key doing more than adjusting volume and such. Perhaps I should have gotten a 75%? I already miss the 10-key to the right and may get a separate one of those for spreadsheet work. I mouse left handed, so mouse on left and 10-key on the right makes me a whiz at anything to do with numbers and editing. OK, now the good parts. The RGB animations are really fun and some are actually useful. The ones that light up or dim the keys that I have struck are helping me with touch-typing correction as I get used to this small and non-ergo layout. For gaming, the ones that react in bigger ways are just extra fun and feedback in my lower peripheral vision. Great stuff. Never knew I wanted this. The feet on this thing are very grippy. I can really hack away at the keys and it never moves. Its also a rather heavy unit, I suppose there is just weight added to keep it stable for wild gaming sessions. The placement of the Fn key. is exactly opposite the Win/Cmd key (Yes I use both OSes. I am a professional and UNIX is amazing shutup.) Anyway it feels natural to use it for some key combos in the same way I use the Win/Cmd key for other combos. Kinda wish this had always been a thing, like CMD and FNC should have always been the left and right primary key combos. Ctrl and Alt? Who cares! So, now we have Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Cmd, and Fn. I feel like I could boil that down to Shift, Cmd, and Fn for everything. ANYWAY, I have seen other Fn placements and they are all dumb compared to this. The keyboard cable is removable! This makes wiring up the desk MUCH easier. It is also really long. Too long for my setup, but thats ok because I can hide the coil no biggie. THAT SAID, because it is replaceable I can find one of those nifty coiled springy wires. I just think they look neat, like an old phone cable. REMOVABLE KEYS!!!! So, I am a very fuzzy guy. Big beard. Which means beard hairs in the keyboard. Now I can just remove keys and blow them out. No more tangles. If I were to shop for this new keyboard again, I would look for a programable lighting per-key profile. Like I said the animations are all really cool. But I would like to set up a profile or two for things like editing, gaming, photo editing, etc. Just light up a few important keys and make them react to being struck. I guess I MIGHT look for individually lit RGB per-key. Maybe that price will come down some day. I would get a 75% keyboard. I would sort by the largest of those that fit my criteria, hoping that the keys would me larger and spaced better for my big hands. (I did see a 200% keyboard; seriously considering trying it.)
