    It's a membrane keyboard for those who don't read the entire page.

    • What does that mean?

      • +10

        It is not a mechanical switch keyboard. Instead, it uses the old membrane-type keys, like you would find on a cheap $10 keyboard. You could find a better quality keyboard with mechanical switches for $10-20 more and be glad you did. It is a very different typing experience.

          Thanks

          There are good and bad membrane switches (those bundled HP ones are incredibly mushy, while the Dell ones are quite good IME), and there are good and bad mechanical switches (a common failure mode of cheap mechanical keyboards/switches is registering double keypresses). Unfortunately there's a fair bit of intersection between good membrane and bad mechanical price-wise so it's not quite as easy as "just get mechanical".

          • @elusive: Great advice, which is why I went with this one for the great price, I didn't want to spend more than $100.

            Redragon mechanical keyboards are pretty much the only ones near this price point (of the well known brands) and they get mixed reviews. All the "good" mechanical keyboards are usually $150+.

            • +1

              @sm3004: It's possible to find cheaper mechanicals but yea, it's a bit hit-or-miss. Especially for full-size (TKL can be cheaper).

              Of the known-good brands, there's a Keychron for $100 at the moment. Looks like it drops to $85 occasionally, so it's not at a low point right now.

              There's a nice Corsair membrane for $50. Their cheapest mechanical right now is $109 (linear switches). I use a Corsair mechanical that was $239 5 years ago, quite happy with it but certainly not cheap.

              For cheap, there's the Kogan mechanicals (known to have poor QA but decent if you get a good one), and currently there's a $35 MSI one (clicky blues) that seems to be reviewed okay but not that much info on it. At that price though I'd give it a shot!

              I've actually sworn off Logitech mechanicals. Their older Romer-G switches had terrible design, the keycaps were held on by thin posts that would snap off after heavy unbalanced usage. Can't really comment on the newer ones (except very pricey) or their membranes as in this post.

              • @elusive: The problem with the keychrons are they look like something out of the 70s. Just let me order it with all black keys. And a volume knob with dedicated media keys wouldn't go astray either.

                • @blade1981: You can always swap out the keycaps for whatever colour you want, keycaps are cheap…

                  You can find a volume knob on Keychrons, but they mostly reserve them for their more expensive boards and 75%s. Consider Epomaker/Ajazz/Aula as other options if you really want a knob.

                  Just use the software to remap whatever key you want to media controls? There's a reason why customs don't have dedicated media keys, because when they break you can't (easily, if at all) replace them.

                  And Keychron doesn't offer the same value proposition they used to, other companies have caught up and offer more features for less $$$. Granted, if you're after a 100% layout, then Keychron's probably your best bet.

            • +1

              @sm3004: @elusive For $50 AUD you can get an Aula or AJAZZ board from AliEx that has the majority of bells and whistles you get with customs; a screen, hotswap capability, volume knob, triple connectivity… the list goes on.

                @CrispyChrispy: Not for me personally, but possibly not a bad option for others.

                I very much want a full-size keyboard, I can't stand any of the compact form-factors. The full-size options on Ali are $75-$100, which isn't far off the Keychron.

                At least hot-swap would give you more options in the event of bad QA/faulty switches.

                I do wish Qmk firmware support was more common though. Would be nice to not have to install yet more shoddy peripheral software.

  • We have two of these at home, probably closing in on five years old, and they work well (hence purchased a second) as an upgrade on budget Dell keyboards.

    One is that the RGB cycles colours unless you install the app and select just one or just press the light off button on the keyboard everytime you restart the PC.

    For this price get an actual mechanical off Amazon or AliEx… stabs on this board are super rattly and it's not even per-key RGB, and all the other problems i.e. non-detachable cable, proprietary keycap design, etc.

    Granted, my mum's been using one for the past 6+ years straight and it still works without issues. It just doesn't feel or sound very nice to type on.

    If you're a prodigy you won't buy this for $60.
