Chillkey is a brand new brand and is debuting with the Paw65. It’s a cute mechanical keyboard with a ton of potential to transform into one of the most unique keyboards you’ll find at its price range. Most importantly, it has the satisfying sound and soft typing feel that the best gasket mount keyboards offer, in addition to tri-mode wireless for high-speed, wire-free gaming. Starting at only $79.99, it’s a high value keyboard kit that makes for a great onramp to the custom mechanical keyboard hobby.
Das Keyboard 6 Professional Review
04.10.2023 - 17:19 / mmorpg.com
The Das Keyboard series has been one of the gold standards for mechanical keyboards for office use. The Das Keyboard 6 takes things to the next level with a refined design with simple aesthetics, solid build quality, and a USB Type-C hub for charging devices and connecting peripherals. It also features genuine Cherry switches and a simple white backlight for typing and gaming in the dark. At $199, it’s expensive but will be a great match for users interested in trading RGB backlighting for a more elegant design, dedicated media controls, and extra connectivity options.
Das Keyboard has been making some of the best mechanical keyboards for professionals since 2006. We’ve looked at several of its models in the past and have always been impressed at the level of build quality and the typing experience they offer. They’re understated but high quality, embracing minimalism without skimping on build quality.
That’s exactly the case with its latest release, the Das Keyboard 6 Professional. Retailing for $199, this keyboard features a full 104-key layout with dedicated media controls and an oversized volume wheel for easy adjustments. Follow those media controls upward and over the edge and you’ll find a dedicated sleep button for your PC and a two-port USB Type-C port for connecting and charging devices.
This isn’t a keyboard you turn to for flash. It’s made to blend in, to be a sleeper keyboard. Your cube-mates may not see much difference at a glance but once they go hands-on with it, they’ll immediately be able to tell how much better of a keyboard it is than the simple membrane keys they have at their own desk.
Let’s go top down. The keycaps are a simple black with laser-etched legends. Simple white LEDs illuminate them for use in the dark with a very clean, elegant aesthetic. The top half of the case is aluminum for extra sturdiness and weight. Beneath those keys are genuine Cherry MX switches, available in Brown or Red, rated for 100 million actuations. These keys are louder than most membrane keyboards but feel much nicer to actually use.
Flip the keyboard over and you’ll find a glossy Das Keyboard logo and four non-slip feet. There are no channels for routing cables because this isn’t a gaming keyboard where use with a headset is expected (though it will obviously work fine for gaming). Interestingly, there are no tilt feet built into the corners. Instead, there are threaded inserts where two red feet can be screwed into place. This is the sole bit of color on the keyboard and it looks quite good, though the typing angle remains pretty low and I miss the old ruler on past models. Still, it looks nice and is very functional.
Which is the story of the Das Keyboard 6 Pro: refined looks, functional

Mega Modz PS5 FPS Professional Gamepad Review
The PS5’s DualSense controller is easily one of the most technically advanced console controllers we’ve ever seen. Besides all of the necessary buttons that have been standardised by the passing of multiple console generations, it packs in a speaker, microphone, touch panel, and some of the most advanced haptics we’ve ever had. It’s a feat of engineering – that is, other than the battery life – but the Miami-based Mega Modz have asked one simple question: “what if we could make it better?”.

Drop CSTM80 Mechanical Keyboard Review
Drop, now owned by Corsair, just announced its latest custom mechanical keyboard, the CSTM80. I’ve been testing it for the better part of two weeks to see exactly what it has to offer in comparison to Drop’s other keyboards and the wider keyboard market. As you might have guessed from the name, customization is the name of the game, including a configurable typing experience, magnetically swappable cases, full programmability, and more for only $99 barebones or $149 for the fully built kit.

When it comes to affordable mechanical keyboards, few companies do it better than Epomaker. As both a storefront and a manufacturer, they have a wide array of keyboards available across just about every price point and have the resources to release new models that respond to user feedback regularly. That’s exactly the case with the Shadow-X, a FRL (function row-less) TKL keyboard with an OLED screen and tri-mode wireless for cable-free gaming.
