Rii's Budget-friendly Contender

We've ranked it #35 out of 60 in this category. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 56% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.
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. At $16.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
