Combined with an asking price of £42, down from a usual price of £50, I think it’s well worth considering - whether you’re looking for an interesting mechanical keyboard for your growing collection (I see you there) or a first cheap mech to give the whole idea a try.

So what makes this keyboard good then, beyond the unusual (yet UK) layout and the cheap price? Well, it surprisingly comes with premium PBT keycaps in a rather fetching navy, white and orange colourway. These keycaps have a lovely slightly rough texture, which feels nice under the fingers, and it also doesn’t rub away through extended use - unlike more common ABS alternatives. Beneath the keycaps, you get MX-style Red keycaps, offering a soft linear feel. It’s not silent - no mechanical keyboards really are - but it’s not a super clicky or clacky keyboard that will get you into trouble with your flat/work/mates, probably. The keyboard also comes with multimedia keys, allowing you to control the volume or skip tracks. These are accessible via a Function key in the bottom right corner, and also provides access to various other missing keys like Print Screen, Numlock and so on.
