Mechanical Keyboard Gaming Keyboard GATERON Brown Switch Wired Backlit Mechanical Mini Design(60%) 68 Keys Keyboard

I have used this keyboard nearly every day for the last 2.5 years in my job as a software engineer. The reduced number of keys take a short time to get used to, and once you have sorted out your mappings it is super easy to use. I love the brown switches; the key travel is really satisfying and I can't tell the difference between these and cherries. I haven't noticed any press delays, but since I am not a gamer I probably can't speak much to this. The keyboard is easy to clean because the keys are raised off the plate and the caps are easy to remove.Overall this is one of the most comfortable keyboard I have ever used, and if it ever dies I will probably just go get another one.Update for 2022: Still going strong, still love it. My partner (also an engineer) borrowed it briefly and was immediately sold. Can't go wrong with it tbh.

If you are looking for a solid enty-level mechanical keyboard and can live without the numeric keypad then this is about as good as it gets.No fancy disco flashing LED backlighting either. Just a simple backlit keyboard.For a while I started regretting buying such a small keyboard because I thought I had lost out on access to some major characters (such as \).Then I discovered pressing Left Alt + Shift switches between character sets, So its a nice compromise.If you are into programing you might struggle with missing the HOME and END keys. This keyboard requires that you to learn certain key combos like FN+Page Up and FN+Page Down to perform the same function.The tabs under the keyboard are hard to lift out without using a small tool but its not its not often you need to worry about these.To conclude, the keyboard is very sturdy with positive mechanical feedback and very little wobble.

I got the one with Gateron Browns. Switches are good, better than Cherry Browns, build quality is very good. It small, doesn't move whilst in use, very happy with the layered keytable (I got used to this quickly). The only thing I don't like about the keyboard is the Gamer font on the keycaps. Everything else in happy with.

Brown switch increases your typing speed if you are coming from traditional gel hard feedback keyboards. I switched from "Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600". In my specific situation, I can tell that it is much easier to press keys than 600 which is what helps me to type faster. This is very noisy keyboard so beware.The light color is white and it has 10 levels (including 0 no light and maximum brightness).Problems:1. Now the most annoying thing is that some keys have different response sound on release, for me particularly 'o','l', 'k', 'f' on release echoes with a metallic sound, which is when you type can be annoying. I haven't reached annoyance level to return it but I am on my way.2. The keyboard legs retractable only with finger nails or a pencil - not a big deal, but i would leave more space in the legs compartment so people don't have to struggle.

Nice, sturdy keyboard with a great price point. I don't care for the LED stuff but overall this is simply great. I've added O-rings to mine as it's not very quiet (I thought it would make less noise than my old MX blue keyboard) which works pretty well (but still not really quiet).

gateron browsn are amazing. in my opinion they are smoother but lighter than mx browns and have a more tactile bump. the small keyboard is great for taking around places. I have tried browns blues and reds of gaterons and they have better reds and browns than cherry. but still cherry mx blues rock. I have a corsair k70 lux with cherry mx blues and they are still my main keyboard but this one is for school and for my surface pro while revising and studying for my gcse's as at my school the keyboards are disgusting and are never cleaned and I cant stand membrane keyboards now after I got my first mechanical keyboard. All around amazing keyboard.

After 2 months of use, the keyboard doesn't work as it should do. It is sad because I loved this keyboard

Dunno about them better switches and stuff as this this is my first mechanical board, but compared to any membrane i ever used is good. Feels nice, plays nice typing is nice. Also can take a good beating very sturdy

I have this keyboard for 6 years now I think, still using it, I am typing this from it. Great purchase.

Je viens de racheter ce clavier (le premier je l'avais acheté en 2017 et il fonctionne toujours parfaitement).Les deux sont identiques, il ne semble pas y avoir de variation dans leur fabrication et la disposition des touches est toujours aussi parfaite pour travailler avec Qt Creator.Je mets toujours l'éclairage des touches à l'intensité minimum mais pas désactivé, parfait pour travailler.

Primero que nada están lo switches, unos Gateron Brown con retroiluminación, consistentes todos ellos, con un peso perfecto y un feedback ideal, notablemente mejores que los Romer G de logitech, y a gusto los colores, con un funcionamiento más limpio que los Cherry Mx Brown. Ideales tanto para escribir como para jugar.Distribución y estética:El teclado en si tiene una distribución de 68 teclas, prescindiendo de teclas de función, teclado numérico y de alguna que otra extra, por supuesto todas ellas accesibles mediante combinaciones con la tecla FN, pero ahorrándonos a los que no usamos dichas teclas con frecuencia dicho espacio.La estética es de lo mejorcito que se puede encontrar, es muy sólido, rematado en metal, switches transparentes que dejan pasar la luz, una disposición preciosa y leds para darle ese toque extra de utilidad y buen acabado. Por lo demás, es compatible con teclas par Cherry Mx de modo que se puede adaptar a los gustos del usuario y con unos cobertores de leds llamados DayDream, baratos (3€ por 108 teclas) y funcionales que nos permiten cambiar los colores de los leds, pudiendo tener la retroiluminación a nuestra medida.Programación y escritura:La distribución para programar es inmejorable (siempre asumiendo que no necesitas las teclas de función a todas horas), es un teclado pequeño y con todas las teclas necesarias a mano, en mi caso, imprescindibles las flechas e insertar/suprimir, de ahí que una distribución de 68 teclas me parezca mucho mejor que las de 60, donde tendría una curva de aprendizaje muy superior.Como se puede apreciar en las fotos la distribución es la americana, para programar ideal, pues los lenguajes de programación fueron diseñados para esta distribución, pero para escribir tildes y ñ tendremos que recurrir a programas como AutoHotkey, en mi caso, uso Ctrl+ tecla (a,e,i,o,u,n,4) para producir áéíóúñ€, la verdad es que a todo se acostumbra uno, ya ni lo noto.Juegos y multimedia:Para juegos es magnifico, esto mayormente se debe al tipo de switch pero tambien a detalles como el permitir bloquear la tecla de windows y evitar confusiones, o el ajustar la cantidad de teclas que el teclado envía por segundo, de modo que en algunos juegos puedas aprovechar alguna que otra ventaja extra.Para multimedia tiene las flechas (imprescindible en mi caso) y algunas teclas extra ubicadas desde la z a la <, muy útiles y muy accesibles.Resumiendo, extremadamente recomendado y con una relación calidad precio magnifica.

Ne ho comprata una per lavorare da casa la sto usando da due giorni e ne voglio un altra da usare in ufficio. Switch fantastici, retroilluminazione fatta bene , il layout è geniale, ed ha anche un sacco di funzioni built-in usando il tasto function che windows ha riconosciuto senza fare nessuna configurazione.Consigliatissima!!!

Nach einem Artikel in der Computerzeitschrift c't (Ausgabe 21/2018) wollte ich mir eine kleine Tastatur mit mechanischen Switchen holen, die einen taktilen Anschlag haben (also spürbar) aber nicht ganz so "laut" sind wie blaue Switche. Die magicforce mit dem kleinen Layout kam mir da genau richtig. Ich hatte erst wegen des geringen Preises Bedenken, war dann aber nach dem Auspacken restlos begeistert! Es ist eine sehr wertig verarbeitete Tastatur, die Tasten fühlen sich gut an und die Helligkeit der weissen LEDs lassen sich leicht über die Tastatur einstellen. Das abnehmbare USB Kabel gefällt mir auch gut da man das gegen was buntes austauschen kann. Das US Layout macht mir keine Umstände (ist eher Geschmackssache ob man damit klar kommt). Demnächst werde ich noch die Tastaturkappen austauschen, aber auch mit den originalen Keycaps mit dem leicht futuristischen Stil sieht die Tastatur gut aus. Ich kann die magicforce uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
