What It Feels Like to Type On
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. The price range here typically gets you a sturdier frame and PBT keycaps that resist shine over time, which is a meaningful upgrade over budget tier.
