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 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.

Its a good keyboard and feels quite nice and the keys are sturdy. The thing I have to say about it is the lack of led colors. Idk if Im just stupid but its only blue

This keyboard works well. I needed a more compact keyboard to pull out and put away when needed, which suits my needs. Its not going to have all the customizability of a known brand, but there is a decent amount of customization on the keyboard itself. Another flaw I noticed was the lack of a keyboard kickstand in the back to change the angle, but the keyboard still sits high enough that it wasnt terrible. Overall this is a solid keyboard with some flaws that dont completely ruin the experience.

Good

Bought this for writing compact and I love it.

Great for gaming and web surfing

This keyboard is compact, keys type fine, and the light up feature is pretty cool. There are two issues we had with it, but both were relatively minor. One is that the cord it comes with is the only one we found that actually fits into the port. This meant we had to get an adapter to use it with an iPad because the cord we already had that should have worked with that port didnt work because it wouldnt fit with the way the port was shaped. The other issue is that the keyboard doesnt have its own power source. So how well the lights work depends on how much power is put out by the device its hooked up to. For example, when we hook it up to a desktop computer or even a phone, it works great because the power source is strong. But when it was hooked up to an older iPad that my son got from his school, the functionality of the lights was reduced. Not a big deal, but enough to make it less than perfect in our rating.

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.

The keyboard has a nice hefty weight and feels sturdy. Its the width of a portable/compact keyboard, but its much thicker and heavier. The clicks on this model produce a soothing sound while typing, reminiscent of old electronic typewriters. A USB-C cable is included to connect to your computer, and it has a single-color backlight with adjustable brightness. The key caps come off, but the switches can not be replaced as in some mechanical keyboard models. All in all, this is a great compact mechanical keyboard for the price.

This is one of the best keyboards Ive ever had! Would 100% recommend if your on a budget.
