UK Matias Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Silver

Product Information

The Drop CTRL comes in two versions. The standard CTRL has a “floating key” design, where the switches and keycaps rise above the frame. We prefer the High-Profile version, which has a more traditional raised body that covers the switches and only leaves the keycaps standing proud. For those of you that are looking to build a custom keyboard, finding a hot-swappable PCB can be quite difficult. The Polycarbonate plastic offers a sturdy build quality with a pleasing deeper sound than ABS plastic cases. In addition, if you live in an apartment and don’t have a good area to work, soldering may not be feasible or be too much of a hassle for you.

The Q1 Pro is 75% in size, so it has all of the function row, arrows, nav keys (sort of), and if you’re feeling spunky, you can get a knob. Whether you want to lubricate and film your switches or swap them out for something entirely different, you can do so with ease by choosing a board with hotswap.The A80 and L80 share the same list of features, and differ only in the design of the case, as well as the angle at which the Function-row is presented. The L80 features a larger forehead, while the A80 has a taller forehead which angles the Function-row and is more reminiscent of “battlestation” keyboards. Both keyboards have Vintage inspired designs in fun colorways.

The Q1 Pro delivers on a flexible and bouncy typing experience. It’s so much easier on the hands and finger joints. And it sounds spectacular. Your keyboard isn’t going to be producing that nasty ringing ping when you type fast, like I know you do. Like tenkeyless layouts, a 75% keyboard does not have the number pad which makes the keyboard much smaller. A More Efficient Layout Built with a brushed aluminum top plate that curves over to form the sides, the design is strikingly minimalistic. As there is no top piece, the frame reveals the switches as well as floating key-caps. Unfortunately, the switches are not hot-swappable, like you might expect with this kind of design. The most common types of aluminum used for keyboards are 6061, 6063, and 5052. Less common types you may still see include 5053, 7075, and 6053. Using a USB extension is recommended when choosing the 2.4ghz mode, but the availability of all 3 modes is a rare convenience on an entry-level keyboard.The added case and plate foam improve the typing sound by dampening and eliminating metallic resonance and hollowness that may otherwise be obvious when your switches are lubed and stabilizers modified. Now that you what to look for in a good wireless keyboard, we’ve taken all the guesswork out of the equation and put together a list of the best ones we’ve reviewed. Whether you’re planning to use the board for work, gaming, or just everyday computing, it isn’t hard to cut the cord without compromises. There are also a few features you’re unlikely to find. Though a few keyboards on our list come with a wrist rest, it’s less likely that a wireless keyboard will include one. Also, without a wired connection, it would be impossible for a keyboard to offer USB passthrough ports on the body, so that’s not something you’ll find, either. Pre-lubed Glorious Lynx switchesso you don’t have to lube it yourself, but you still get that smooth and nice typing feel

Well, this might the solution to the daily wear-and-tear we experience sitting at our desks all day typing, gaming, and programming. The MD870 Sleeker is solid and functional, aluminum mechanical keyboard. It has a standard TKL layout with 87 keys and just the right amount of spacing on the board. Despite having no software, it supports secondary FN functions and is compatible with both Windows and Mac layouts.There are very few keyboards that require no modifications. And the ones that do exist out there cost more than double what the Q1 Pro costs. Weighing 6.8 lbs, the AR87 is one of the heaviest keyboards on the market. Unlike many other inferior boards that use a combination of materials, the AR87 is 100% aluminum. As a result, you can expect a ridiculous build quality with absolutely no flex whatsoever.
