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 got this for my son as he’s been wanting a 60% keyboard for gaming for quite a while. He’s very happy with it. It’s aesthetically pleasing both with and without lights. The little bumps on the back that gives it a bit of a tilt is nice and the sound of a mechanical keyboard is nice.

I like the overall value you get with the dual pack. They both came changed under 50% so a bit extra work when you first get them, but for what you get at the price I am impressed. Charge well and effectively. I have the name brand competitor as well, iWalk, and these are doing just as well so far, though I will have to verify longevity over time, at first appearances a great value.

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.)

I love it so much and its smooth #recommend

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

Pros Compact Quality mechanical brown switches USB C port so the cable is replaceable Cons Very tall keys so a wrist support is required to type at a comfortable angle Kinda loud but that is expected No angle adjustments, only flat

I am a PC guy, and I am rather picky about the keyboard I use. This is the first TKL keyboard I have owned, and even though I was highly skeptical, it instantly became my main keyboard. Im not even a fan of white peripherals myself, but I would totally buy this keyboard again without hesitating. Construction does seem to be mostly plastic, but it doesnt at all feel like a cheap keyboard. The one thing I wish is that it had a longer cable, but it is a standard USB C, so its not hard to get longer cables or even extensions if your setup is kind of spread out like mine is. Spectacular keyboard for the price.

This keyboard feels quite sturdy and well-made, and none of the keys are especially wobbly. I like the feel of the Red switches, although it is only my second Red board and I usually use Blue or Brown. The switches might have slightly longer travel than Im used to as I noticed a few dropped characters early on, but it didnt take long to get used to. The rubber feet hold it in place on my desk pretty firmly. My only little gripes are that Id prefer to have the Delete key at the top position, that the feet arent adjustable, and that the USB cable is only just barely long enough for my setup, although that is easily replaceable.

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.

I 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.
