Doesn't say what switches are in use, but £30 and a 3 year warranty, if it's a mechanical board, you can't really go wrong.

Is it actually mechanical though?

Not a mechanical keyboard. Besides, you can find one under £30 for a real mech TKL on Amazon.

Anker Outemu (could be Gateron, doesn't matter) Blue switches. No back-light. TKL. £28.99. Good and cheap but the keys can feel heavy and the lettering does wear off. Though if you can touch-type, there's no problem. I got mine for £25 and it comes on sale quite often.

I purchased a Drevo Gramr a couple of years back. Been a fantastic keyboard and still going strong. Bought for £36 but its going for £28 on Amazon now.

6th Dec 2018

To save the frowns, I've edited the title to remove 'semi-mechanical'. I don't know what is meant by semi-mech. either.

What did attract me more was the RGB for £30, that and the numerical keypad

Just like in normal circumstances... a semi isn't as good as the real thing. pay the extra 20 and get the msi with mx speed silver switches. If a key goes wrong out of warranty replacements shouldn't be to hard to find

Keep your receipt. You'll be returning it in a few months, no doubt.
And the description only says the keys are "semi-mechanical" - which to my mind means NOT mechanical.

You're suggesting to pay 60+% more. Wouldn't that apply to everything else?

Oh you got a cheap phone? Pay more for a better one!

2/3 or 6.66666666667% to be exact and yes. And yes again, it applies to almost everything. With the MSI, you get the fastest switches Cherry has to offer and a decent designed keyboard vs fake switches probably designed by a sweat shop worker in China who gets a 2p a day. Using your phone analogy, you are saying buy a £180 flip phone because it is cheaper vs buying a £279 poco phone which has way more features, has actually been designed reasonably well, actually practical and up to date with current tech. Or another one, a £60,000 Reliant Robin with bare bones vs £100,000 deck out High-end brand like Merc, BMW.

Absolutely right. Many people do not understand or cannot calculate value correctly. I see it all the time with just about every product on the market. "Oh but I only want this bike for casual use, I'm not a professional cyclist". Yeah, well done paying over the odds of a piece of junk bike that will be landfill in 2 years because you had some arbitrary number in your head when it came to budgeting.

Some products you should get right the first time and keyboards are one of those things. If you are really skint then get one for a fiver on ebay, at least you'll get value for money.

Ah but you bought an actual mechanical keyboard, not some £5 keyboard in a party dress that they are charging £30 for by slapping a "gaming" moniker on it. You got good value for your money.

6th Dec 2018

I just bought the keyboard, mouse and mousepad as I am about to build myself a gaming PC. The mouse is great and definitely worth it for the money but they keyboard is so so. They "semi-mechanical" keys don't have a great feel to them. I use a Coolermaster Master Keys keyboard with cherry browns at work and its miles better.

I will probably return the keyboard but am really happy with the mouse.

I read the box, and it seems to have only one DPI setting and that's at a fairly low (for gaming) at 4000.

amazon.co.uk/dp/…EU/

I've used these for years, almost £10 cheaper, has all the same lights, an extra button and a selectable DPI that increments in 1000's up to 7000.

I saw the keyboard and interestingly the cursor keys are exposed (oo-er madam) to allow you to test them. If you are saying it's "so-so" I'd say that was the similar feeling I got just from those keys alone.

It feels quite nice though, I wouldn't swap my cherry brown logitech for it but it clicks and has a very distinct actuation point, it also felt very solid when I tried in in store. I'd say for £30 it's a steal, with added bonus of easy cleaning.

I would be more convinced by that mouse's quality if the vendor could spell Professhinal

8th Dec 2018

Ive just purchased this keyboard and i am truly impressed. It feels great for gaming, clicky like MX Blue switches but bottoms out to a rubber feel hence the semi mechanical description. Build quality is really good, for £30 its far better than the cheap ones for a similar price on amazon. I normally use a K70 RGB.

Went to buy this at Cardiff Leckwith Lidl yesterday, nothing about the layout was mentioned on the box but opened it up to check and was disappointed to see that it's US layout with @ on the 2 key. Can't live with that, but the keyboard did feel quite good (for £29.99).

Genuinely intrigued to know what 'semi-mechanical' means...

Thought about this as well and found the answer here: reddit.com/r/p…dl/

The term semi-mechanical keyboard could refer to any of the following:

A keyboard where a portion of the keys have mechanical key switches and the other have not (rubber dome switches).

Example: Corsair Vengeance K90

A keyboard with key switches that some would describe as being "semi-mechanical" or "half-mechanical". These often have a mechanism over a membrane (See Category:Membrane switches) or rubber domes integrated into individual switch modules. This usage is not common and would in some meanings encompass many keyboards that are otherwise widely considered to be mechanical, for example the IBM Model M. Tai-Hao use the term in reference to their former APC semi-mechanical series, which is spring-over-membrane with click leaves.
A marketing term for a rubber dome keyboard with individual sliders. This usage is relatively new whereas rubber domes with sliders are not. It has occurred as a market reaction to the recent resurgence of mechanical keyboards. The keycaps and sliders often have Cherry MX mount.

Interested in the mouse.. looks like it could be quite comfortable.

19th Dec 2018

Most important to me. Can you switch the mouse and keyboard lights off. I like to sleep without having to witness a light show in my room.

23rd Dec 2018

I own the keyboard, i really like it very nice lots of options for colours and the keys feel mechanical which is really good, this keyboard is much better than my corsair k30 raptor. The quality for the price is really good and the wrist rest is comfortable, now i am looking to get their headset and mouse as the keyboard has impressed me so much.

'Semi mechanical' i.e. it's a membrane board that's made to 'feel' like a mechanical board.

Is it actually mechanical though?

No, semi mechanical means a membrane with a clicky thing on it.

30th Dec 2018

One word of warning it is a US keyboard layout not UK

12th May

To be honest, if ypu take off the rubber domes, then look carefully then you can actually see that it has a membrane which is RGB however saying that it sounds mechanical makes it even better so even though it is semi-mechan ical, it is still better than some keyboards like a blackweb one. If this had a rating bar out of 5, i would definitely rate it a good 4 because the wrist rest is also very comfortable and it is magnetic so it doesnt come off easily. If you read this then thanks.

Thanks for your input on this keyboard, you seem impressed with it.
I bought my son this keyboard & the matching mouse for his birthday next month.
Do you know if these work on the ps4?
Thanks
