TECWARE Phantom 87 Key RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | Outemu Blue Switch | 16.8M Color LED Lighting | 18 Pre-Set | Low Latency | N-Key Rollover | Software Customizable Keys | Wired USB Connection

So i have a corsair k70 rapid fire with mx cherry speed. I love that keyboard, most likely the best keyboard i have ever owned for gaming. However, i am doing a lot more coding now a days and needed something that was less sensitive. the mx speed switches were a lil to sensitive for typing; i was often times pressing unwanted keys here and there and got a lil annoyed. so, i looked to amazon for a blue switch keyboard. however, i wasn't really willing to spend a fortune. overall, i am quite impressed with the design, rgb lighting, build quality, price, and switches - they feel like actual mx cherry blues! they may be a lil louder tho. i haven't tried these for gaming yet, but i don't think they wont be as good for gaming as my k70 with mx cherry speed switches. the only thing that would really make these great would be if they last as long as my k70 - which are still very much functional. ive had my k70s for 4 years and i think it will last for another 5 to 6 years. Summary: the price is fantastic, it feels good, the visual DESIGN is amazing, build quality is impressive (it rivals my k70 in overall build quality feel), and the rgb lighting is sick af! ill update this review once i get about 2 to 3 months usage out of this keyboard.

Perfectly good, loud, clicky keyboard. The switches seem a bit less smooth than Gateron Blues, but they are good enough for me. I just want a functional keyboard for typing, I do not need gaming features. This meets my needs well at a really good price point. No need to pay more unless you are into aesthetic design or want a highly responsive keyboard for gaming or high-speed data-entry or transcription. I'm typing slightly faster on this keyboard than before, I don't know if it's because my hands are in a more ergonomic position than when using the laptop's built-in keyboard, or because the feel of the mechanical switches improves speed and accuracy. In any case I am enjoying typing. The click and tactile feedback makes for a more enjoyable experience. Cons: keyboard is quite solid and heavy, so it is not what I'd consider portable. Blue switches are loud. This is a feature for some people, but not great for people who need to type in a quiet shared work environment. This keyboard would likely drive people nuts in a quiet library!

This is my second time buying this keyboard. Not a replacement just one for my girlfriend as well. Mine is going on two years and still works like its brand new. Ergonomic: It may not be an advanced ergonomic keyboard but as keyboard standards it feels great and from standard keyboards its what I'm used to and I love the way it feels. Gaming: I do play more casual games so for responsiveness I can't speak on how it does but for games like Baldur's Gate/Ark/Phasmaphobia it works perfectly fine. Brightness: The keyboard is plenty bright without being overbearing and the RGB functions are very easy to customize with plenty of options. Durability: This keyboard is two years old on my desk with now sign of degradation or functionality issues at all. As a gamer with a full time job and not playing any fast paced games I still use it up to 30+ hours a week and it still functions and looks brand new. The HDMI cord is also in perfect shape and its a stress resistant fiber that also shows no degradation. Keys: I purchased the blue switches and they sound wonderful and clicky. The keyboard comes with an extra keycap puller underneath it and is easily customizable. You can take your basic keyboard and make it fancy with new switches and keycaps in a breeze All in all it is a perfect starter keyboard, its nothing fancy but for someone who plays often I love my keyboard. Would be again if I had a 3rd PC.

Havent had it for a huge amount of time just over a day but did a lot of typing on it in that time. Coming from a membrane keyboard it feels amazing. Ordered mine with blue switches and while they are loud the clickyness is perfect it is a pure joy to type and game with. I havent checked out there software as my internet has been down but it will be my first download once it is back. The only complaint I have is the font. keys with dual function like the colon and semi-colon keys are side by side which I do not like. That may be personal preference though. The font has an overly gamer-ish style. Both of these are addressable though because you can swap out the keycaps for any Cherry MX compatible ones. The most auprisomg part of the keyboard is how sturdy it is. Mine has zero flex when pushing near the center and no overall flex. The base is heavier than most making it feel solid and adding to the typing experience in an only positive way. If you are stuck with a membrane keyboard and want a mechanical this is a really great deal. Even those looking for a budget friendly secondary keyboard should give this one a shot.

I purchased this keyboard, in hope of finding a great budget keyboard, and let me say, this one blows me out of the water! the RGB's are bright with tons of pre-saved effects, although mastering how to control them was a little challenging, a quick look at the manual, show you how to do use them. The switches are from Otomu, which is a Cherry MX clone, but they still feel good to type and game on. (although a bit loud) The switches are modular, meaning you can swap them out with other switches, and it comes with 4 in the box. It also includes a keycap puller, a switch-puller, and a braided cable with a gold plated USB. This keyboard has a very minimalistic look, with no ugly logos. The only branding is on the side of the keyboard. The backplate is made out of metal giving it a very sturdy feel. It is gray and black, and the keycaps are not to gamer-y and look really good. Overall this keyboard is great for only 45! 10/10 would buy again, (but I probably won't need to because this thing built like a tank!)

Very good quality. Works well. Good price.

It's ridiculous how much value for money this keyboard brings. Addressable RGB, macros, pre lubed stabilisers, foam, great quality keycaps! I compared the keycaps to a razer PBT set, and the ones on the tecware are very similar, albeit only slightly thinner. Overall (and I'm pretty much repeating what everyone else is saying), this is an excellent platform to build on for any person looking to get a mechanical keyboard on a budget.

The keyboard has nice weight to it. The cable it really nice quality and the keyboard has nice routing in the back. The keys switches feel nice. Very similar to cheery blues. But are not as consistent as real ones so there is some difference between each of the keys. The caps are pretty nice quality. Only been using it for a couple of weeks and they having been holding up well. So no immediate issues. Comes with extra key switches that are super easy to swap out. Software for the RGB is downloaded from google drive which is a little odd. But small file and installs easily. Has lots of preset options and it works well. Key spacing is pretty tight but i got used it to quickly.

I got this keyboard a few years ago, was good for the price, but the config software is finicky. After playing around with some macros, the keyboard's internal storage for macros quickly maxed out and I was stuck with broken macros for a few days until I finally figured out how to factory reset the keyboard (in this case it's Fn+Esc+F1+F3+F5) I initially got this keyboard with the blue switches cuz I like a tactile feel and I thought initially that the clickety clackety sound would be pleasant, and it was great, for the first month. Little did I know it would eventually drive me, and those around me, totally nuts. I ended up ordering linear red outemu switches to replace the blues, which was like at least sixty bucks, and switching out the switches was a total nightmare. The switch removal tool destroyed half the switches I tried to take out, and it's not for lack of delicacy on my part. This keyboard just doesn't let go of switches very easily. The red switches do the job they ought to, and are quieter, but they aren't exactly silent. It's a mechanical keyboard after all I guess.

Son loves this. The mechanical audio and tactile feedback is great and quick response. No faulty keys after hours and hours of gaming. Thumbs up.
