MOFII AK96 Mechanical Keyboard Review

Priced at $17.99, the MOFII AK96 Mechanical Keyboard is Unknown's entry in the budget mechanical keyboards category. With 81 buyers rating it at 4.4 stars, it currently sits at #44 of 54 in our rankings. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 57% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.

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 $17.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
