We've ranked it #9 out of 54 in this category. It's in the top quartile of the category, which is where most buyers should be looking.

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 $25.49, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.

Worth noting on the MageGee Portable Mechanical Keyboard specifically - reviews repeatedly flag "LED backlighting" as a standout.
