Havit Mechanical Keyboard Wired 89 Keys Gaming Keyboard Red Switch Keyboard with PBT Keycaps for PC Gamer Computer (Black)

This keyboard is very good but lacks in 1 "key" area i.e its keys are a bit loose for a mechanical keyboard. The biggest culprit is the "Enter" key which gets activated with a mere touch and without even a soft press. Otherwise the design, the color and feel of keyboard is good with sturdy structure and on the only big drawback is low activation of the keyboard keys with minimal engagement which I would say partly go against the very spirit of a mechanical keyboard, atleast for me!

I picked this keyboard up in January 2021 for around $50 US. As someone who loves competitive FPSs like Overwatch and Valorant, I like to try new keyboards once in awhile, and the layout on this one was unique, and the color scheme on this one reminded me of Luke Skywalker's X-Wing jumpsuit, so I bought it on a whim. For the price, this keyboard is incredible. SWITCHES: It has Red Switches, when most keyboards at this price point have Blue Switches. If you don't know what this means: Blue Switches have a "clicky" sound, and a bit more of a springy feel. They have fallen out of favor with most serious gamers and office workers alike, but are generally found on most budget mechanical keyboards. Gamers often prefer Red switches because they are not as springy, and easier to push down faster, whereas most office workers tend to prefer Brown switches, because they have some of the springy-ness of clicky switches without being as loud and feeling a bit more stable. SOUND: This keyboard has a nice sound to it, which I find to be more of a "thoc" sound and less of a "click" sound. I've uploaded a video, which gets the sound mostly right. I actually think this sound profile is really good, and have never heard anything like it on a budget keyboard. BUILD: I'm an enthusiast, not an expert, but the deck has minimal flex, and overall feels solid. It also has flip-out height adjustments which I am surprised to find on a budget board. LAYOUT: More keyboard companies should make keyboards that forego the pg and pg down keys in favor of the numpad. This makes so much sense. As an gamer, a full-size keyboard isn't really an option as I need that space to swing my mouse and click heads. But sometimes I find myself needing a numpad, and being able to have the best of both worlds is pretty darn wonderful. KEYCAPS: I legitimately think these are PBT keycaps, and they feel leagues above your average keyboard-- even some of the expensive ones. If you don't know what PBT is: it's a different type of plastic. Most keyboards used ABS plastic, which over time can start to feel slippery and collect oil from your fingers. These keycaps feel just the tiniest bit grippy, and they feel a bit more "matte" if that makes sense. I've never owned PBT keycaps before, and never really noticed any issues with ABS caps, but now that I've used PBT caps I have to say I'm a huge fan. CONS These are all nitpicky, but they are the only cons I really have: 1. It's not backlit. There is supposed to be a white backlight on the numpad but I've never seen it light up. 2. The cable is permanently attached, not a removable USB-C which the most expensive keyboards have. Again, nitpicking, but it's really nice to have. 3. The legend is inconsistent. Sometimes the letters are centered, sometimes they are aligned a bit left of center. I'm a visual designer by profession, so my brain has been trained by 15 years of experience to notice this sort of thing. On this keyboard it doesn't bother me, because the price was good and for me it adds a bit of charm along with the retro colors. SUMMARY: If you're a gamer on a budget, and you like the color orange just buy this keyboard.

Mi profesión requiere que pase multiples horas escribiendo y corrigiendo textos, por lo que deseaba un teclado de mayor calidad que los existentes en el mercado regular. Había leído un poco sobre los teclados mecánicos, sin embargo, la mayoría de estos se encontraban enfocados al sector del gaming, con diseños extravagantes y luces RGB. Este teclado es excelente para escribir, si bien, quisiera que fuera un poco más ruidoso, es excelente debido a su relación calidad precio. Es importante recalcar que es un teclado americano, por lo que no cuenta con la tecla Ñ, sin embargo, uno puede fácilmente configurar ambos teclados en su computadora. Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra y recomiendo ampliamente este teclado, vale la pena invertir un poco mas de dinero, para tener un excelente teclado.

I got this keyboard because my last keyboard with Mx blue switches broke, and I wanted to try new switches. This keyboard is very sturdy, when I try to bend it, it stays in its original shape, it has quite a lot of weight to it considering that iTs made out of plastic, I love how the keycaps feel, and how clean it looks without all of that rgb. I’ve had this keyboard for a month and I’ve been using it pretty heavily for intense gaming, and the stabilizers on the space bar, backspace, and both shifts are not bad. The stabilizer on the enter button is pretty horrible, but all in all I would recommend this keyboard to anyone on a budget!

Left shift key was faulty when I first used it. I returned it.

Pretty ugly but a good keyboard overall. Good value for money.
