Gigabyte FORCE K81 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry MX Red Switch Anti-ghosting
28 February 2019
Great for typing a little less for gaming due to key slope.
My first mechanical keyboard. I did get tester keys to compare different types of switches beforehand so I had an idea of the feel beforehand.
I must say it is noisier than any rubber dome keyboard Ive ever had as I always tend to bottom out keys. I got dampener rings but they seem to make no difference in noise so I just need to learn to not hit the keys so hard. It has some weight to it and good grip on surfaces so its not easy to accidentally push the keyboard.
I did think there was less of a curve on the keys it can get a bit annoying when playing games but fine for typing. The bottom row keys have a step up to the second row from the bottom which is annoying, no other row with the curve of the keys has such a step. I did know it would be taller than any keyboard I have had but it seems to make no difference or problem for me.
I am though getting keycap replacements as I want to see what its like with out curved keys if I prefer it that way.
