This keyboard offers a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and functionality.Build Quality: The construction feels solid and durable, making it suitable for both gaming and typing.Typing Experience: The mechanical switches provide a satisfying tactile feedback that makes typing enjoyable. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my typing speed and accuracy.Compact Design: The compact layout, with a number pad included, saves space on my desk without sacrificing functionality. It’s perfect for anyone who needs a full-size keyboard but wants to keep their workspace organized.Value for Money: For the quality you get, the price is more than reasonable. It feels like a premium product without the premium price tag.Overall, I highly recommend the Havit Mechanical Keyboard to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish keyboard.

I need a small keyboard for my limited desk space. And I also need the number pad for excel inputting.

   Ohhh, this feels nice…
   I picked this keyboard up in January 2021 for around $50 US. As someone who loves competitive FPSs like Overwatch and Valorant, I like to try new keyboards once in awhile, and the layout on this one was unique, and the color scheme on this one reminded me of Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing jumpsuit, so I bought it on a whim.For the price, this keyboard is incredible.SWITCHES: It has Red Switches, when most keyboards at this price point have Blue Switches. If you don’t know what this means: Blue Switches have a “clicky” sound, and a bit more of a springy feel. They have fallen out of favor with most serious gamers and office workers alike, but are generally found on most budget mechanical keyboards. Gamers often prefer Red switches because they are not as springy, and easier to push down faster, whereas most office workers tend to prefer Brown switches, because they have some of the springy-ness of clicky switches without being as loud and feeling a bit more stable.SOUND: This keyboard has a nice sound to it, which I find to be more of a “thoc” sound and less of a “click” sound. I’ve uploaded a video, which gets the sound mostly right. I actually think this sound profile is really good, and have never heard anything like it on a budget keyboard.BUILD: I’m an enthusiast, not an expert, but the deck has minimal flex, and overall feels solid. It also has flip-out height adjustments which I am surprised to find on a budget board.LAYOUT: More keyboard companies should make keyboards that forego the pg and pg down keys in favor of the numpad. This makes so much sense. As an gamer, a full-size keyboard isn’t really an option as I need that space to swing my mouse and click heads. But sometimes I find myself needing a numpad, and being able to have the best of both worlds is pretty darn wonderful.KEYCAPS: I legitimately think these are PBT keycaps, and they feel leagues above your average keyboard– even some of the expensive ones. If you don’t know what PBT is: it’s a different type of plastic. Most keyboards used ABS plastic, which over time can start to feel slippery and collect oil from your fingers. These keycaps feel just the tiniest bit grippy, and they feel a bit more “matte” if that makes sense. I’ve never owned PBT keycaps before, and never really noticed any issues with ABS caps, but now that I’ve used PBT caps I have to say I’m a huge fan.CONSThese are all nitpicky, but they are the only cons I really have:1. It’s not backlit. There is supposed to be a white backlight on the numpad but I’ve never seen it light up.2. The cable is permanently attached, not a removable USB-C which the most expensive keyboards have. Again, nitpicking, but it’s really nice to have.3. The legend is inconsistent. Sometimes the letters are centered, sometimes they are aligned a bit left of center. I’m a visual designer by profession, so my brain has been trained by 15 years of experience to notice this sort of thing. On this keyboard it doesn’t bother me, because the price was good and for me it adds a bit of charm along with the retro colors.SUMMARY: If you’re a gamer on a budget, and you like the color orange just buy this keyboard.

   Best budget keyboard I’ve owned, with comfortable “squishy” feel when typing and less hand strain
   This is still my favorite keyboard because it’s the most ergonomic and I love the aesthetic, but I do have to warn folks that the paint of letters/numbers wears off of the most commonly used keys after a few to several months. (Only a couple letters in my case.) It bothered me a little, but then I realized I barely look at the keys anyway. If this is a big deal to you, don’t get it. If you don’t care like me, buy away. Removing one star because of this though.==I usually prefer a blue switches keyboard, as I dig that satisfying audible click and the ease of pressure when typing. However, when I saw this keyboard, I knew I must have it despite it being a red switches board. I bought it purely for aesthetics and thought, hey, this might be good for Halloween and maybe as a back-up. In line with what other reviewers have said this is an incredible value for the price: it feels well-built and stocky, it’s compact, and most importantly it types like a dream. My other red switch board must’ve been more cheaply made (despite it being the same price), as it was an effort to type and it was a strain on my hands. Whereas the Havit board is smooth, and there’s a satisfying and efficient “squish” feel when I actuate. It’s also quick in returning upward which is great for me, as I am a speed typer. No, the click is not as audible in a blue switch, but there’s still that wonderful typing sound I grew up with in the ’90s. I think I’ll use this board when I return to work in person after the pandemic, as it’s quiet enough for the office, but audible enough for the sound aesthetic. Plus, less hand strain!

   Mi profesión requiere que pase multiples horas escribiendo y corrigiendo textos, por lo que deseaba un teclado de mayor calidad que los existentes en el mercado regular. Había leído un poco sobre los teclados mecánicos, sin embargo, la mayoría de estos se encontraban enfocados al sector del gaming, con diseños extravagantes y luces RGB. Este teclado es excelente para escribir, si bien, quisiera que fuera un poco más ruidoso, es excelente debido a su relación calidad precio. Es importante recalcar que es un teclado americano, por lo que no cuenta con la tecla Ñ, sin embargo, uno puede fácilmente configurar ambos teclados en su computadora.Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra y recomiendo ampliamente este teclado, vale la pena invertir un poco mas de dinero, para tener un excelente teclado.

   Still working great after a solid year of use. Only visible wear is the key labels have worn off. The s, c and right shift keys are completely bare.Still a deal at less than 50$Bought this mainly to save a bit of space on my desk at home. There was nothing really wrong with the HP 104 keyboard that I have been using for 14 years, other than I never use the num-pad.pros:* smaller* white main keys easier to see in the dark to position my hands when I sit down.* position of arrow, del, pgup/pgdown home and end works well.cons:* no shock absorption – I have to learn to type softer as my knuckles ache a bit after typing a lot. The HP keystroke ended in a “spongy” bit so I got used to hammering the keys. Is this “linear” keystroke?* I think the numpad is probably useless to people who need it. There’s no ‘+’ key on the right side.* Caps locks is sensitive – keep turning it on by accident.keys are a bit noisy despite not having an intentional “click” to them. fine for home office.keys register fairly early in the travel – you don’t have to push them all the way down.

   This keyboard is very good but lacks in 1 “key” area i.e its keys are a bit loose for a mechanical keyboard. The biggest culprit is the “Enter” key which gets activated with a mere touch and without even a soft press. Otherwise the design, the color and feel of keyboard is good with sturdy structure and on the only big drawback is low activation of the keyboard keys with minimal engagement which I would say partly go against the very spirit of a mechanical keyboard, atleast for me!

   Pretty ugly but a good keyboard overall. Good value for money.

   Left shift key was faulty when I first used it. I returned it.
