We've ranked it #24 out of 59 in this category. It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.
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 $26.99, 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 SABLUTE Backlit Keyboard specifically - reviews repeatedly flag "Large print keys" as a standout.

Maybe. Middle-of-the-pack on rating and price, no standout strengths. If a specific feature matches your need (large print keys or 7-color backlight), it's reasonable. Otherwise the top picks are safer bets.
