The spring mechanical keyboard shootout: four great value options put to the test
Reece tests four fantastic value mechanical keyboards for Digital Foundry. Which are worth taking home?
They're quite responsive as a result of the lubrication, light actuation force and the 3mm total travel, although seem to lack the entirely consistent keypress found on other low profile options I've tested. The design includes a translucent plastic case straight from 2001, a compact 60 percent layout for gamers and space-savers, Windows and Mac compatibility, support for QMK/VIA for software customisation, and a straightforward wired USB-C to USB-A connection. As these are now MX2A switches (much like those inside the KC 200 MX Will reviewed), you also get the benefit of factory lubrication, a centered spring and ribbing on the stem for less key wobble, while also utilising the brand's 'Hyperglide' tooling for even smoother inputs.
