I went to look at pretty much reviews on mechanical keyboards and this actually caught my attention due to the relatively affordable price with a pretty well built quality. Most people who game may like their keyboard to be smaller so that they can reach for their mouse better, and this is one of the ten key-less keyboard that able to provide this convenience. However, it may not be for those who needs to do a lot of numerical data entry due to the lack of num pad.

To me, I consider this keyboard suitable for my everyday uses. I don't do much data entry and most of the time, I navigate just using the arrow keys.However, I have never tried one personally before so I am not sure if it would really improves one's typing.

Besides it's well built and great to type on, it also has laser-marked key caps which retains the printed alphabets better. They are less likely to fade off as time passed. For gamers, this keyboard also had a window locked key, which disable the window key when you are gaming. Thus, you wouldn't accidentally pressed the window key and get switch out of your game which may cause devastating results.

There are three types of switches available for this model: blue, brown and black switches. For the blue switches, its for those who loves to have a tactile feedback of their keys with clicky sound when you depressed them. However, it would be your preference whether you like the sound or not. Personally, I have never tried typing long period with blue switches, hence, I am not the one to advise. But do consider the environment that you will be using your keyboard on. In the case where there are others close to you most of the time, you might need to consider if they are able to withstand the noise the keyboard is making. Then, for the brown key switches, they generally provide tactile feedback, however, they are less noisy compared to the blue switches due to the absence of clicks. Do note that if you tend to bottom out your keys, it will still produce a rather loud cluck sound, it may not be a quiet as you may imagine it to be. For the black key switches, I don't really know much about them, so I wouldn't comment much here as well. It will be good if you can go to the store personally to try and feel the different key switches and choose the one that suits you best. Everyone has different typing habits and therefore they will have different preference in the switches they choose. No one switch is better than others, it all boils down to one's preference.

Well, if I really want to try it, I might have to find a second hand one so that I can afford the price of it. It may aid in relieving my stress when I type on it, who knows.

There are more mechanical keyboards around, no harm giving potential ones a consider. It's always good to do a bit of research before we buy things, it will tend to reduce overspending due to unsatisfied purchased products. :)

Then for the time being..Ciao~
