OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro Review: Surprisingly Good
06.10.2023 - 07:43 / gadgets.ndtv.com / Pro
OnePlus does not just make smartphones anymore and over the years, it has experimented and expanded its range of products. It now has a fairly wide ecosystem of devices, which recently also saw the addition of a tablet. From an ecosystem point of view, it is only missing a computer. Adding to this long lineup of smartphones, TVs, monitors, smartwatches, audio gear, clothing accessories (which also includes a fanny pack), is a mechanical keyboard called the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro. OnePlus tied up with the mechanical keyboard specialists at Keychron to design it.
While I will explain in detail as to why this keyboard is a bit different, like many others I also assumed that it was a rebadged Keychron Q1 Pro. The Q1 Pro is a unique offering as it offers the best of two product lineups — a premium full metal keyboard merged with the ease and convenience of wireless connectivity — giving one the best of both worlds. All of Keychron's Q-series premium lineup was only offered with a cable until then, which meant that buyers had to choose between a premium-looking and great sounding customisable keyboard, versus a plastic-bodied keyboard that's focussed more on connectivity and customisation.
After using the OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro for more than two weeks, here's what I think of it.
The OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro is available in two options which basically comes down to the type of what switch you prefer. There's the Winter Bonfire option which comes with PBT keycaps and tactile switches that oddly have red-coloured stems and is priced at Rs. 17,999. The Summer Breeze option is priced a bit higher at Rs. 19,999 and comes with a rather unique Marble Mallow keycaps (which are supposed to be flexible) and linear switches with stems that are strangely blue in colour. The option you choose is basically the name of the switch, which is a result of OnePlus' collaboration with Keychron.
The OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro comes with usual cable, keycap and switch puller along with extra tools and spares, which is a nice touch
The colours chosen for the switches are a bit odd as the red colour of the Winter Bonfire switch is usually used to signify silent linear switches, while blue colour of the Summer Breeze switch is normally used to signify linear but clicky (read: noisy) switches. Switch makers usually go with brown for tactile switches. So, be careful what you select when you pick one as the colours are very misleading and are different from the standard colour coding for basic mechanical switches.
Apart from the usual keycap and switch puller, OnePlus has a quality braided USB Type-C to Type-C cable which can be used to connect the keyboard to your system for a much higher 1,000Hz polling rate (compared 90Hz with

Scuf Envision Pro Review
If you’ve invested even a little into the competitive shooter community, then you’ve probably already heard of Scuf Gaming. Among console gamers its high-end gamepads have been a go-to choice for years; now, with the Envision Pro, it’s finally entering the world of PC gaming. And thanks to its new ownership by Corsair, it comes fully equipped with all the utility of iCUE and Slipstream Wireless, making it the most programmable gamepad I’ve ever laid hands on. In fact, it might just be the best controller Scuf has ever made. At $179, it doesn’t come cheap, but if you’re looking for something with significantly more programmability than the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2, this is a great option.

Oppo Enco Air 3 Pro Review: Unbeatable sound at its price!
Remember the good ol' days of Sony Walkmans? You could find people walking down the street with cassette players clipped to their jeans. Soon, the Walkman was phased out by CD players which offered superior audio quality with less noise intrusion. Then came Apple's iPod, which became a sensation and took over the world with a physical scroll wheel, a digital display, and 5 gigs of onboard storage. Several iterations of the iPod arrived, but the goal remained the same - to make listening to music more accessible, and affordable.

The RAINBOW 2 Pro controller: Elite performance without breaking the bank
PC gamers have long embraced RGB lighting schematics as part of their set-up, and it has even been a recurring joke within the community that the additional lighting in your build can improve the frame rates of your favorite games. While frames do win games, the idea that RGB lighting can affect your frame rate has no merit. A more effective way to win your matches is with an elite controller like the BigBig Won Rainbow 2 Pro controller.

Das Keyboard 6 Professional Review
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.
