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

This company makes some exceptional keyboards at the price. If youre looking for a small form factor keyboard with mechanical switches that wont brake the bank, these are the keyboards to get. They can be a really good starting point for people looking to get into mechanical keyboards in general.

This is a true mechanical keyboard with backlighting, all for roughly the cost of a membrane one. The tenkeyless design makes it compact and maneuverable, and the backlight makes it easy to see at night. I prefer Blue switches for typing so I tried the Red version of this for gaming. Red switches have no tactile bump or feedback but allow you to hold at the actuation point for rapid actuation (unlike Blues which need to be lifted above the actuation point) which makes them the better choice for gaming. Dont expect hardware macros or other fancy features at this price but its a solid no-frills keyboard with some cool lighting effects.

Bought this for writing compact and I love it.

So good the brow swiches are the best to by so just get it!!!

the keys are nice and smooth and isnt that loud when typing. i was really surprised how small this keyboard was but other than that its really Awesome!

I had not tried a brown key keyboard prior to this one, and I like the way it feels. It might be a bit clickity-clackity for the office, but we shall see. Most people have headphones on, anyway. The size is nice to take if I sit in a space that doesnt have a keyboard around, and it feels better than your standard generic keyboard. The LED is nice to have as well. Im easily entertained.

I like everything about this. Its cost is very reasonable. This is my first mechanical keyboard on this size. The next section of this review consists of my thoughts on this KIND of keyboard, features I mightve paid more for if I knew this one didnt have them, etc. At the end are the surprising GOOD parts; things I didnt expect but really appreciate. First thing is that the keys and spacing feel a little too small for my giant hands. Im a 511 mesomorph kinda guy. Size L to Xl gloves. The next thing I noticed is that the RGB lighting is fixed in terms of color. I was expecting each key to be an individual RGB light, programmable, etc. I have since learned that this exists, and it costs more than I am willing to spend on something that I WILL eventually spill coffee over. HOWEVER, the rainbow is very nice looking; more on that later. I bought the version with the red switches. They have a surprisingly light touch and seem to activate sooner than I am accustomed to. People talk about liking clacky keyboards. This has some clack to it, definitely louder than my old Microsoft Natural, but its not crazy. Yes, I have been using an ergonomic keyboard for most of my 30+ years of computer use. My first job gave me one as a 1st anniversary gift and I REALLY learned to touch type on it. So... this feels weird. My wrists are bent oddly. If I start to write my memoirs, I will have to find another ergo-keyboard. RIP my 15 year old Microsoft Natural... sigh. And Im old, so if my joints really start to complain, I will just have to gift this to someone and get another ergo. I got this 60% keyboard because all of the Kids seem to love these. I did not notice that the F-keys are not separate from the numbers at the top. I dont use those very often, but when I do I use them a lot in a session of document editing. So, Ill get used to the Fn key doing more than adjusting volume and such. Perhaps I should have gotten a 75%? I already miss the 10-key to the right and may get a separate one of those for spreadsheet work. I mouse left handed, so mouse on left and 10-key on the right makes me a whiz at anything to do with numbers and editing. OK, now the good parts. The RGB animations are really fun and some are actually useful. The ones that light up or dim the keys that I have struck are helping me with touch-typing correction as I get used to this small and non-ergo layout. For gaming, the ones that react in bigger ways are just extra fun and feedback in my lower peripheral vision. Great stuff. Never knew I wanted this. The feet on this thing are very grippy. I can really hack away at the keys and it never moves. Its also a rather heavy unit, I suppose there is just weight added to keep it stable for wild gaming sessions. The placement of the Fn key. is exactly opposite the Win/Cmd key (Yes I use both OSes. I am a professional and UNIX is amazing shutup.) Anyway it feels natural to use it for some key combos in the same way I use the Win/Cmd key for other combos. Kinda wish this had always been a thing, like CMD and FNC should have always been the left and right primary key combos. Ctrl and Alt? Who cares! So, now we have Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Cmd, and Fn. I feel like I could boil that down to Shift, Cmd, and Fn for everything. ANYWAY, I have seen other Fn placements and they are all dumb compared to this. The keyboard cable is removable! This makes wiring up the desk MUCH easier. It is also really long. Too long for my setup, but thats ok because I can hide the coil no biggie. THAT SAID, because it is replaceable I can find one of those nifty coiled springy wires. I just think they look neat, like an old phone cable. REMOVABLE KEYS!!!! So, I am a very fuzzy guy. Big beard. Which means beard hairs in the keyboard. Now I can just remove keys and blow them out. No more tangles. If I were to shop for this new keyboard again, I would look for a programable lighting per-key profile. Like I said the animations are all really cool. But I would like to set up a profile or two for things like editing, gaming, photo editing, etc. Just light up a few important keys and make them react to being struck. I guess I MIGHT look for individually lit RGB per-key. Maybe that price will come down some day. I would get a 75% keyboard. I would sort by the largest of those that fit my criteria, hoping that the keys would me larger and spaced better for my big hands. (I did see a 200% keyboard; seriously considering trying it.)

He was os nice give him a raise

I like the feel of this keyboard. Im old school and like the mechanical style. Colors are nice but I dont need them. Only knock I have is there isnt a way to tit it like yoiu an with many keyboards. Other than that, nice and solid

It’s not often you find a full on mechanical keyboard for this price. It’s fully backlit and it’s kind of gorgeous. The build quality definitely gives the impression of $100 keyboard and so far I haven’t had any issues at all with it. I have the blue switch model and I love the tactile clicks and feedback that it gives you. It comes with a few extra pieces but I haven’t had any issues with it whatsoever. Very impressed with what you get for the money here .
