Tecknet's Budget-friendly Contender
Priced at $21.99, the TECKNET Wired Silent USB Keyboard is Tecknet's entry in the keyboards category. With 4,259 buyers rating it at 4.4 stars, it currently sits at #2 of 21 in our rankings. Sitting in the top 3 means it's competing directly with the BOOGIIO Large Print Keyboard ($16.23, 4.4★) for the category lead.
Construction & Key Action
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 $21.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.

Owner Reports

Final Take
