About this deal

You also see aluminum 5052 used for keyboards. Alloying elements like magnesium and chromium give it a better finishing and corrosion resistance. However, 5052 is much harder to machine and it often isn’t worth the extra effort.

A mechanical keyboard has an individually sprung switch under every key. This type of switch is a lot more hard wearing than a dome board and doesn't have that mushy feel that a worn dome board would have. Using a mechanical board takes some practice until you really appreciate its benefits. Mechanical boards are durable too. Most mechanical switches feature a 50 million + actuation life cycles which is 10-20 times more than that of a dome keyboard. For switches, the board comes with a reliable set of Gateron Reds. These are linear mechanical switches that require a 45+15 actuation force for a very short 0.6mm pre-travel. When typing, the short pre-travel guarantees rapid keystrokes to suit a variety of different scenarios. Any mediocre keyboard can function properly as an input device. However, a high-quality option is more accurate, faster, and a lot more responsive, as well as more satisfying and more comfortable to type on. If it's a wireless keyboard, you'll find that the higher quality ones have better connectivity as well. In fact, we recommend getting one even if you don't spend all day typing away at your computer.

For the switches, the Hades 68 is available in several popular Gateron and Cherry MX colors. These include Silent Browns, Speed Silvers, and Yellows, etc. Besides having a wide range of switch options, you’ll also appreciate the excellent factory-lubed stabilizers that are both smooth and quiet. Besides Gaterons, the AK84S is also available in Epomakers own Chocolate switch. Chocolates come in similar colors as traditional switch types, including: Blues, Browns, and Silvers. In contrast to Gaterons, they have a slightly reduced operating force (45+5gf) for a smoother typing experience. Built with a brushed aluminum top plate that curves over to form the sides, the design is strikingly minimalistic. As there is no top piece, the frame reveals the switches as well as floating key-caps. Unfortunately, the switches are not hot-swappable, like you might expect with this kind of design. The Epomaker AK84S is a feature-rich, 75% mechanical keyboard with a compact 84-key layout. Optimized for ultimate functionality, it features Windows and Mac compatibility, dual-connectivity, and is fully hot-swappable with either optical or mechanical switches. Testing peripherals is a serious matter, even if most people might feel like they come secondary to everything else. That's especially true for keyboards. After all, it is your main interface for interacting with your PC or laptop, and most people use it all day long. That means that not only does it have to be reliable and to perform well, but it has to also be comfortable and satisfying to use.

Dual-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.0 and wired) is another big plus of the G61 Pro. We found that it functions just as it should, with good range, no pairing issues, and a strong wireless connection. Powering this is a decent 1850mAh battery that can last approximately 1 week on a full charge.If you are a regular computer user then it makes sense to invest in a hard wearing peripheral that will enhance your experience. There is no point having an extreme gaming system if you are using a cheap keyboard, it will be mushy and unresponsive for typing and gaming. The RK61 Pro is the upgraded version of the legendary RK61. Improved and refined, it comes equipped with a sleek new CNC aluminum case, PBT key-caps, and a slightly larger battery. Impressively, it still retains old features such as hot-swap usability and dual-mode connectivity. Attached to the top plate is a plastic bottom shell. This has two rubber feet that provide one level of adjustment. Although the case is not completely aluminum, the build quality is still high with excellent rigidity. Due to weighing 1.6lbs, it has a decent amount of weight, as well. And, naturally, since it is Logitech, there's a great system here for multi-device connectivity, allowing you to pair it with three devices at once and easily switch from one to the other on the fly. It is Bluetooth only, however, and it doesn't have an adjustable stand.

The Lofree 1% Transparent is undeniably appropriately named. This mechanical keyboard, pre-lubed Kailh Jellyfish mechanical switches that are comfortable to type on, is not just stunning, with its beautifully clean transparent keycaps, which have with a hallow center and a removable press-and-fit lid so you can customize them withtiny sequins or beads for fun, and a sleek equally-transparent top cover. The MD870 Sleeker is solid and functional, aluminum mechanical keyboard. It has a standard TKL layout with 87 keys and just the right amount of spacing on the board. Despite having no software, it supports secondary FN functions and is compatible with both Windows and Mac layouts. We can't help but be impressed her. Thanks to its Holy Panda X Switches and Phantom Stabilizers, the tactile experience is delivers is unparalleled and the sound each key is something that mechanical keyboard enthusiasts will find orgasmic – without being too loud and obnoxious. Aluminum 6063 shares features with 6061, and it also uses magnesium and silicon as alloying elements. It’s not as popular because its higher melting temperature makes it slightly more difficult to work with. An aluminum case is a good choice for a keyboard for many reasons, all of which affect the durability, appearance, sound, and workability of the keyboard.

The GMMK TKL is the tenkeyless version of the popular full-size Glorious GMMK. This board stands out for its minimalistic, raised key-cap design with almost no visible branding. It also happens to be one of the best hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that money can buy.
