My keyboard for the next ten years
After 6 month of intensive use, it still is as good as new. At the current price (the third of the price i bought it) It's REALLY worth it.

One of the cheapest mechanical keyboards and probably also one of the best!
One of the cheapest mechanical keyboards and probably also one of the best! What I like most is the minimalist design and the lack of unnecessary features that nobody needs anyway.
Pro

- Super design that hardly takes up any space on the desk
- Pleasant keystrokes (as you would expect from a mechanical keyboard)
- Cable is easy to replace
- No useless features

This is my first mechanical keyboard and also my first product review (and only because typing with the Turtle Beach Impact 500 is a real pleasure). The workmanship of this keyboard is stunning: no flaws to be found. The design is minimalist and appealing. I thought long and hard about the layout and shape of my future keyboard. In the end, I decided to do without a numberpad (although I used it quite often) for reasons of ergonomics, space and aesthetics and preferred a CH layout to the US layout. With these specifications, MX-Blue switches and no frills like backlighting and x programmable keys, this was the only keyboard left and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely recommended!

- No unnecessary bells and whistles

Contra

Very well finished
You have to search a long time to find a keyboard in this format. Especially with CH layout. I didn't necessarily want a mechanical keyboard, but I have to admit that the typing feel is very pleasant. The clicking Cherry MX Blue switches are not overly loud. OK for home use
The workmanship and quality of the keyboard is excellent.
Addendum: when there is no music playing or other background noises, the MX Blues are quite annoying.Pro

Small but strong
This keyboard lives up to its title as the Tyrion Lannister of the mechanical keyboard. Small, simple and elegant. The key feedback is just right and the typing feel is really nice.
A real alternative to gamer-oriented products that are too blingy and often too big.Pro
- Size
- Typing comfort
- Detachable usb cable
Contra
- Mechanical key noise, especially in the evening
A real bang for your buck!
Simply the best keyboard you can get for under CHF 30,-
Cherry MX switches for this price is incredible. Highly recommended.Pro

No frills, the pure mechanical keyboard feel.
No frills with clear characteristics of a mechanical keyboard. Unfortunately, the volume is very well perceived via the headset. I myself am not bothered by the noise :-) The keyboard is very well made for this price - also feels nice and heavy. I actually only miss a backlight.

One of the few mechanical TKL keyboards with CH layout. And that too at a very reasonable price.
If you're looking for a keyboard without frills, you've come to the right place.Pro

Unbeatable for the price
If you want a mechanical keyboard without frills like lighting and macro keys, you definitely can't go wrong with this keyboard. High quality, compact and pleasant to type on. The MX-Blue switches are a matter of taste, as they are quite loud thanks to the "tactile fee", so they might be a little inappropriate in an office with a low noise level.
With the almost unbeatable price, the product gets an absolute buy recommendation from me.Pro

Good start for a mechanical keyboard
Looking to test a mechanical keyboard, without needing a Christmas tree. Robust and practical hardware. Via OSX (10.10.5) the multimedia keys work. You won't lose anything at this price.
Pro
- unbeatable value for money
Contra
- The white symbols on the keys fade after a few weeks of gaming (w,a,s,d,shift)
Buy it!
For 40 fr. and mx blue switch. but it now
What I was looking for
Very cool keyboard. Fulfils its purpose
Would be my absolute favourite if it was still wireless.
The keys feel a bit 'cheap' but for the price you can't complain.Pro
- Compact
- Robust
- Cheap
Contra
- Cheap keys
Minimal is brilliant here
I can only agree with the comments already written. This keyboard is a real pleasure to use. It is a little louder than a conventional keyboard, but it doesn't bother me. Somehow it unfolds a special charm, high-tech with rustic noises, top ! Plus the space it saves on the table... etc.
Pro
- All
Contra
- Nothing
A true mechanical keyboard MX-Blue short for a low price
Ordered for the pleasure of having a real mechanical keyboard on a Mac. No need for the numeric keypad, so you save space for the mouse or the magic trackpad. No lighting, but a real mechanical keyboard MX-Blue for this price is great. Keyboard with Swiss configuration (QWERTZ). On Mac, you just have to reverse the ALT and WINDOWS keys in the system preferences to have the same location of the command keys as on Macs.

very great and inexpensive jingling thing and can't be killed!

Anyone who has never had a mechanical keyboard should buy this one!
The typing feel is incomparable. The MX Blue switches are extremely clicky but also loud.
At a price of 40 francs, there is no longer any question of a purchase recommendation, but rather a must-buy!
Qualitatively, the keyboard is a little on the cheap side. The keys and all surfaces are made of plastic, but the keyboard doesn't feel cheap. It is relatively high at about 3.5 cm (at the thickest point) and also slightly angled, this can be increased to about 5 cm with the two feet. The (mini) USB cable can be unplugged and the grooves on the underside can be used to adjust whether the cable should come out on the left, in the middle or on the right.
In conclusion, I would recommend the keyboard to anyone.Pro

For this price just top
I am very satisfied with this keyboard. I would have expected less for this price, but the workmanship is great. It is a little heavier than other keyboards. That's a plus for me. As others have already mentioned, this keyboard is very narrow. It is therefore well suited for narrow work or gaming spaces. However, I wouldn't dare use this keyboard in the office, because it is, as mechanical keyboards are, very loud! Another plus point is the cable and its assembly. It makes a very qualitative impression when wrapped in fabric. You can also choose whether the cable should stick out on the left, right or behind the keyboard.
Pro
- Hammer price / performance
- Weight. Good hold
- Narrow. Has space everywhere
- Cable and its assembly
Contra
- A little loud
Price cracker
Super keyboard at an unbeatable price. Initially bought only as a test object, it has since mutated into my favourite keyboard.
Pro
- Original Cherry MX-Blue Switches
- Pleasant size
- Stylish
Contra
- Plastic housing

You have to search a long time for a good keyboard without a NUM pad, with mechanical keys and CH layout. This model is convincing in all respects. The best thing would be a wireless module instead of a cable.
Pro
- No NUM pad
- Super stop

Good and cheap, unfortunately only for PC.
The keyboard itself is very beautiful, robust and compact. The price is awesome.
Unfortunately, the keyboard is not Mac-compatible, as the Fn key does not work.
The Turtle Beach homepage doesn't say anything about Mac either, so unfortunately it's a bad buy because the description says "for PC and Mac".
