Qisan Mechanical Keyboard Gaming Keyboard Cherry MX Speed Silver Switch Wired Backlit Mechanical Mini Design (60%) 68 Keys Keyboard White Magicforce

I wanted a compact mechanical keyboard to use with my gaming laptop. I looked at several 60% boards, but didn't really like the layouts. I especially wanted a more natural position for the arrow keys, which are either missing from or squashed to fit in 60% keyboards. I stumbled across the MagicForce 68 on MassDrop and was intrigued. A backlit mechanical keyboard with a real aluminum faceplate, genuine Cherry MX Brown switches and doubleshot ABS keycaps (albeit not the best/thickest doubleshot I've seen) is just crazy for this price, especially with Prime Shipping.The keyboard itself is sharp-looking. It can be hard to tell from the photos, but the faceplate is a brushed Aluminum. The MagicForce logo is engraved into the keyboard and is a shiny silver in color. The beveled edges on the faceplate are also shiny silver in tone. One of the many things I like about this keyboard is that has an "exposed" plate, which makes it easier to keep clean - a huge bonus if you have cats (their fur gets everywhere) or like to eat at your keyboard and spill crumbs. The keyboard has a "standard" bottom row, so you can easily buy third party keycaps if you want to personalize your keyboard. The only con is you lose the "FN" row labeling.I'm typing my review on the MagicForce 68 and I very much like the feel of this keyboard. While switch preference is a matter of personal taste, and more switch types seem to crop up all the time, Cherry MX Browns are a fairly safe bet if you're new to mechanical keyboards and don't have the opportunity to try the various switches prior to purchase. They are a tactile, non-clicky switch with a low actuation rate. They're considered a nice compromise between tactile, clicky blue switches (slightly higher actuation force, considered somewhat better for touch typists, and also very loud), and linear red switches (considered better for gaming and the least noisy switch). If you're looking for a keyboard to use at work, you definitely want to avoid blue switches unless you have your own office - you could drive your co-workers crazy, otherwise.So, if you're looking for a compact mechanical keyboard with backlight and enjoy or are curious about Cherry MX Brown switches, this is a terrific option!UPDATE: I mentioned that I bought this to use with my laptop. Well, it's a 17.3" MSI GT72 Dominator Pro (which I love), and discovered I could actually place this keyboard directly on top of the palm rest/touch pad section - it fits PERFECTLY. I use the laptop with  Fellowes Tilt-n-Slide Pro Keyboard Manager (8060201)  (minus the padded wrist rest), and with that setup, resting the keyboard directly on the palm rest area of the laptop works great from an ergonomic standpoint. Since I always use a gaming mouse, obstructing the touch pad isn't a hindrance. Makes me love this laptop even more!

Excellent keyboard - solid build, genuine Cherry MX switches, perfect size. ANSI layout, and since it uses Cherry MX switches, it's very easy to change the keycaps if desired.Wish it was available in black with Cherry MX switches (you can get it in black with Gateron switches). The logo on the front of the keyboard is annoying and should not be there.I chose this keyboard after reviewing many candidates - I wanted a keyboard that:- was compact (making it easier to transport), with dedicated arrow keys, but not a 60%/compressed layout- used Cherry MX red switches (wanted quiet keys that are light to the touch)- was aesthetically pleasing- was not wireless- was not outrageously expensiveI compromised on aesthetics a little since I wanted a keyboard that was black, dislike prominent logos such as the one on this keyboard, and didn't like the font on the keys (too edgy/'gamery').I was willing to make a few compromises on aesthetics as noted, in order to satisfy the other criteria mentioned.When the keyboard arrived, I immediately tested it, and was very satisfied. It felt like a premium product, excellent build quality, and the Cherry MX switches are genuine.As shown in the photos attached to this review, I swapped out the keyboard cable, and replaced all the keycaps.After ten days with the keyboard, all of a sudden when I went to use it, it was dead. I contacted the seller, who suggested I try a different USB cable. That was it! As soon as I swapped out the USB cable, everything was fine.So to anyone who suspects their keyboard has died, I suggest you try replacing the USB cable as your first troubleshooting step.The seller was very polite and helpful, even promised to forward my feedback regarding the logo and black colourway to the tech. team for future product development.I highly recommend this keyboard: excellent, premium quality for a very reasonable price!

I wanted a good quality mechanical keyboard with Cherry Blue switches but i didn't want to pay a small fortune. At just over $100 this keyboard is a bargain. It feels great, sounds great and the blue adjustable back lighting is perfect for me. I would have preferred a wireless option and the key font isn't the best but overall this is a great buy. I type at about 70 to 80 words a minute and have largish hands. If you are a super fast typist of 120 or more or if you have giant hands, the compact size of this keyboard might be a bit cramped for you.

Clavier solide et qualitatif mais avec un seul point noir : très bruyant à cause de touche et base métallique.

I mainly use this keyboard for gaming and apart from the keys being a bit unstable, it is a solid keyboard.
