Quick Overview
Priced at $29.99, the Basaltech Pink Keyboard is Basaltech's entry in the gaming keyboards category. With 1,460 buyers rating it at 4.5 stars, it currently sits at #42 of 141 in our rankings. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 53% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.
Construction & Key Action
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. At $29.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
