Until recently, I’ve been primarily using medium-size keyboards, ranging from 75% (84-key) to 80% (87-key). The few full-sized keyboards I’ve used have been great for working, especially for inputting numbers into Excel and adding some additional buttons for casual games that didn’t require mouse input. The 65% and under keyboard territory has been largely foreign to me. I’ve been hesitant to test...[Read More]
It’s not often I see an entirely clear mechanical keyboard. Heck, clear cases for my devices and peripherals are far too rare these days, barring a handful of PC cases that cost an arm and a leg while looking amazing when equipped with equally expensive LED-adorned internals. I remember when my old Game Boys came in crystal-clear cases, giving me a glimpse into its techy insides. That clear aesthe...[Read More]

Gaming keyboards tend to boast low actuation points (as in, the distance a key needs to be pressed down before it is registered by the computer) and ridiculously high polling rates. For first-person shooters, milliseconds matter and can determine whether or not you can take down the enemy or succumb to them. Mechanical keyboards have traditionally employed mechanical keyswitches, some of which are...[Read More]
Mechanical keyboards have become increasingly popular amongst PC gamers who’ve sought to level up their spaces while also ensuring that their inputs are registered in a tight and controlled manner. Several barriers impact players looking to switch away from typical chiclet/factory default keyboards, namely price, feel, and use case. Mechanical keyboards are pricy, folks.
