> 3 dayThis is a nice mechanical keyboard. Its not the best Ive used so far, but it is probably one of the most affordable, which would probably be the decision factor for a few people. This is a 65% keyboard, featuring the usual RGB light effects most similar keyboards offer these days (and I personally love) and it makes noise its a mechanical keyboard. If youre looking for a silent full keyboard, with a numeric keypad and no lights, this is definitely not for you!

> 3 dayI wanted a mechanical keyboard that did not include a number pad. This fits the bill perfectly. The cord is a USB-C cable so if you need a longer cord it is easy to replace.

> 3 dayOne color, blue, on white keys. Wired only. Works great with my series X for chat. Blue switches are clicky and responsive. I cant complain. Simple wired mechanical keyboard. Good stuff.

> 3 daySave some cash and get into a mechanical. It may not be full sized and lacking some customization features but it looks and feels good and comes and a low price point.

> 3 dayThe keyboard has a nice hefty weight and feels sturdy. Its the width of a portable/compact keyboard, but its much thicker and heavier. The clicks on this model produce a soothing sound while typing, reminiscent of old electronic typewriters. A USB-C cable is included to connect to your computer, and it has a single-color backlight with adjustable brightness. The key caps come off, but the switches can not be replaced as in some mechanical keyboard models. All in all, this is a great compact mechanical keyboard for the price.

Greater than one weekI havent used a mechanical keyboard since the mid-nineties, so I cant compare this to current mechanical keyboards. All I know is that I like the sound and feel of this one! On my membrane keyboards, every stroke feels like a question - Did it work? - but on this one every stroke feels confident and decisive. This might be a gateway keyboard for me, because I bought the one with brown switches but Im already curious about how the other colors would feel. The size is perfect on my desk, and I appreciate not having space taken up by a number pad that I never use. It took a few minutes to get used to a new layout for placement of controls like the sound volume, play/pause, and print screen, but Im happy to report that theres nothing essential missing. Im keeping the cheat sheet of commands under the keyboard for now. This is my first true white keyboard, and it makes a nice backdrop for the colored LED lights. The color order from left to right is red-orange-green-blue-purple, and that cant be changed, but it is possible to control brightness and pattern of movement. Im not a fan of moving lights when Im trying to type so Im happy with the nice even glow of backlit keys at medium brightness.

Greater than one weekI am a Senior Software Engineer. My entire career I have always used a major brand ergonomic split keyboard. Non-mechanical of course. A while back a couple of my teammates were saying how much they liked their mechanical keyboards. Whenever we were on a Zoom or Teams call I could always hear them typing; clickity click clickity click. The mechanical keyboards they had were pretty expensive. At the time I thought oh I will just stick with my ergonomic QUIET keyboard. Well I had the opportunity to test and review this TMKB T68SE Mechanical Keyboard and remembered the past conversation with my teammates. Now I know what they were talking about. Using a mechanical keyboard is freakin wonderful. I am totally digging the feel and sound of the clickity click clickity click TMKB. So much feedback it makes typing fun again. Did I mention that I am writing this review using the TMKB. Wonderful! So I ended getting the Red Switch. I really enjoy the feel of the keys depressing. The feedback is amazing; feedback in both feel and sound. Now I am curious on how the Blue and Brown switches would feel and sound compared to the Red switch. The size of this keyboard is awesome. A lot smaller than my name brand ergonomic keyboard to say the least. For a software developer the keys that are included on this keyboard are perfect. Some keys require the use of the Fn button but those are keys that are not used all that often with the exception of the End key. Serious, that is the only key but I can live with it. This is the first funky back lighting keyboard I have owned. I like it but I wish this keyboard had the ability to set the back light color to all the same color. The standard is a rainbow color. Not really my style but I can live with it. Oh and you also get kind of feedback with color as the keyboard kind of strobes as you are typing. The standard colors from left to right using darker to lighter shades of Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Pink. Yes Pink. But again, I can live with it. The Caps Lock button is a light intensity of Red but when engaged is a higher intensity of Red. I like it! There are like 19 different color settings you can use but none of them are are just one color. Ugh. But I can live with it. I have used this keyboard on a Windows machine and MacBook Pro. Works awesome in both environments. Still need to test it in a Linux environment but would expect it to work just as good. So what dont I like about this keyboard? I wish it was wireless. Oh how I wish it was wireless. Being wireless would be absolutely amazing. If they start making this exact keyboard wireless I will sell this one to my Son, who is trying to steal this one, and I would purchase the wireless version. So this may very well be the longest review I have ever typed. Hmmm I wonder why. If you want an amazing keyboard who even a Senior Software Engineer can love, get this one. And oh save a chunk of change as well compared to the price of other mechanical keyboards. You will love this thing almost as much as I love it. OK I am taking my fingers off these marvelous mechanical keys now.
