There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There are the cons and proes that I've found so far in this days of use.
Pros:
- Hot swapable multilayer PCB. That's something pretty rare even on enthusiast and personalised level
keyboards. Is compatible with all 3 pin style switches.
- Kailh speed silver or bronze switches. I got the bronze, and I found it clicky but pretty fast and responsive. Also includes 8 kailh silver speed if you like to swap some of your most used keys, also a rare find on a generic brand.
- Up to 4000hz polling rate. It's useful for competitive gaming, and is a welcomed feature to have over the more usual 1000hz polling rate.
- Multimedia keys with tactile buttons, and a volume wheel on a hot swapable PCB... an awesome inclusion and still... something rare to find.
- Standard bottom key row. So, if you want to swap your keycaps, it's pretty easy to find a compatible set
Cons:
- The font used on the keycaps is pretty outdated (2016 vibes) and are made of cheap printed and lasered
ABS plastic
- the EVGA logo is hideous and break the general clean aesthetic of the keyboard itself for my taste.
- It includes a wrist rest, serviceable but its made from hard plastic and that makes it uncomfortable quickly. A foam wrist rest would be ideal in this price range.
Overall: a excellent keyboard, with a not so step prize that actually has a upgrade path in case you want to test other switches without expend 350+ USD on custom PCB, switches and enclosures. It's a solid option for $120, and for $65 on sale.... is an amazing value proposition
If you want a backup keyboard, or an upgrade this is a great one.
The keys are a bit sensitive but you do get used to it. The faster activation time means that actions in games are slightly more responsive. The RGB is good.
The keys do get a bit oily/greasy, but this isn't much of an issue unless you look at your keyboard from a very low point. The arm rest is probably my only complaint; I wish it was a bit taller.
Otherwise... I love this keyboard.
Have had the keyboard for a little over a month. It's still great.
Have done a couple of mods that have improved it.
Change the keys to Outemu Purple's. Outemu's may not be the best keys, but I'm not a keyboard snob (yet). They are a little bit firmer than brown switches. So if you happen to be a brown fan but are looking for something a little different, I would recommend them., Got them on sale for 110 keys for $12.00.
Did the tape mod on the back of the PCB. Two layers worked for me.
Did one layer of foam and one layer of cabinet liner. Keyboard is much quieter now, than it was when it was stock.
Did tape mod on the big switches, space bar, return, enter and back space. They sound much better than stock to me.
It is almost a "thocky" board now.
I only notice the EVGA branding when I'm looking for it now. If I had a 3d printer I would probably mod it. I'm thinking about just painting it black and then sanding it so only the EVGA is visible.
INITIAL REVIEW:
Great value at $39.99. Software works, I've had no issues so far. I'm not a fan of linear switches at all so I got this version instead of the silver linear switches.
Love the feel of the keys, but the clicky sound will drive you crazy if you are not a fan. If I was a fan of clicky keys, these would be the one's I would choose as they do feel great to type on. No way anyone would be able to use this keyboard in an office setting without your coworkers quickly becoming angry with you.
Love that it is hotswappable as my last two mechanical keyboards the "W" key died on me.
I'm not skilled with a solder gun so I'm out of luck trying to fix them.
That's what makes this keyboard great. You can change out the switches to whatever you prefer.
PROS
- good looking and solid aluminum plate
- RGB works with or without software
- high polling rate makes it great for FPS gamers. I've tested it an haven't seen a drop in FPS.
- legs provide 2 different options for elevation
CONS
- key caps are poor quality, not abs so they collect grease and get shiny
- font on key caps is also way to "I'm a GAMER!!!"
- EVGA branding is not subtle at all. It's not really noticeable when the keyboard is elevated. Doesn't bother me buy others may notice.
Watched a great video on how to mod this board and I'm going to try that once my new key caps arrive this week.
Overall a solid buy at this price point. With good key caps this would've been a solid value at $75-$100 dollars as it has lots of high end features. Key caps and branding are distracting and lower the perceived value.
I would buy it again.
