TECKNET RGB Gaming Keyboard UK Layout, USB Wired Computer Keyboard with 15-Zone RGB Illumination, All-Metal Panel, 25 Anti-ghosting Keys, 105 Keys, IP32 Water & Dust Resistant, 90% Quiet Keyboards

Purchased 12 Jan 2024.. Really liked it especially the metal structure and the LED functionality. However just over 1 year later, it has stopped working, tried vaious solution inclduing removeing the device via Device Manager in Windows, different USB pots, no joy. Luckily I still have my old keyboard that this replaced and that works perfectly in all of the USB ports. Really disappointed. Have given 3 stars due to the keyboard`s current status / not working after 1 year noting that it has been well looked after, no spills, drops etc. Have sent an email via the Tecknet Portal via Amazon 30/1/2025. Will update further once they have responded, hopefully with a solution. UPDATE 11 January 2025 - I have updated my review 5 stars. The TECKNET support team has been fantastic. My query was responded to without delay and they arranged to deliver a replacement keyboard once I tried their initial solution to reactivate it which unfortunately was unsuccessful. The team kept me updated at every stage of the process. I am so happy to receive another as I really love the construction of the keyboard, its functionality and the quietness of the keys, no clickety clack. The price of this keyboard and the excellent customer support from TECKNET means this company is highly recommended, great customer support is very rare these days. Thank you TECKNET support team.

This has a semi-mechanical feel but is also very quiet - only the spring-loaded spacebar makes any real noise. While the default lighting is absolutely hideous, this is very easily controlled rather ingeniously from the keyboard itself - no additional software to install, which also means no need to set it up across multiple devices. I suspect the see-through glyphs on the keys will wear out over time, but this has been the case with the last two keyboards of this type I've had. It sits nicely on the desk thanks to rubberized grips in key places, and has a nice solid heft to it - it feels like a quality piece of equipment, despite the low price (I paid £24). Looks the part, too, on my all-black desk -the soft purple/blue lighting matches my Steel Series mouse almost perfectly.

This feels like a good quality keyboard, especially for the money. Metal case, heavy and solid feeling and all the light ing bling you could hope for. It loses a star for a couple of niggles. There is no way to make the backlight stay on. It turns off after five minutes of not touching it. This annoys me as the keys are difficult to see with the backlight off. It is also worth pointing out the I've had this keyboard about seven months and the up arrow key is already losing its paint. To be fair though, this is an issue with all the backlit keyboards I've had. I've now replaced it with a red dragon which doesn't seem to have the niggles but only time will tell on the durability of the keycaps. EDIT:- I have to alter this review as the issue with the double tapping CTRL was not the fault of the keyboard. It was me being an idiot, I had it plugged into a KVM which was causing the issue. So apologies to Tecknet for thaty misinformation. My only real gripe now is the backlight switching off after five minutes. If that doesn't botheer you then this is an excellent keyboard, especially for the money.

Received this keyboard today so can't comment on the longevity however, on first use, I'm extremely happy with it. The keyboard itself is quite weighty and feels well made. The keys have a gentle clack to them which is pleasant and typing for an extended time is comfortable. It's pretty much plug and play with no need to mess around with software or driver downloads. The back lighting is simple enough to set to your own preference with brightness adjustments etc. It doesn't fully illuminate behind all the keys, noting that the top half on the numbers and part of the function keys are missed by the lighting but it doesn't make it unusable if you need the lighting in a dim/dark room. Honestly, for the price, it is a fantastic purchase and I'm glad I got it. It is on a par with some of the much more expensive options out there.

Pros: Keyboard has metal frame - something that you don't always get with more expensive options. Keyboard has a lovely, tactile feel. The switches aren't heavy nor need excessive pressure. Has the perfect balance of "clicking" when typing. I only use for writing, spreadsheets, data, etc. I don't play PC games, so cannot comment on the responsiveness in that regard. Back-light options are great and easy to control Cons: Key cap paint does not last, especially the A and S. Paint has completely worn away on multiple keys, but A and S went first. Caps Lock LED light is temperamental and only switches on when it wants to Does not specify which switches you need/ can use to replace key caps. If you accidentally bump a key when the pc is shut down fully, the keyboard will switch on.
