TECWARE Phantom 87 Key Mechanical Keyboard, RGB led, Outemu BROWN Switch (US Layout)

Product Information

Wired Gaming Keyboard and Mouse - Both keyboard and mouse with RGB lighting effect, 14 backlit modes gaming keyboard and 7 color effect gaming mouse, creates a cool and colorful game atmosphere to. The RGB is underneath the keys, which are elevated up on the switches and the keys are built on a dark transparent material which really allows the light to shine through clearly. I've had problems with that in past keyboards, and I'm very glad that I didn't have to spend fifteen minutes finding why things weren't working as they should. If you want a massive gaming keyboard that more resembles the console of an airplane, this maybe isn't the keyboard for you.

And for those who want to venture into custom keyboards, we recommend checking out our brand reviews of Novelkeys, Cannonkeys, and KBDFans. As a mechanical keyboard, the Tecware Phantom comes with mechanical switches underneath the keycaps (see below for more info on this), and this particular keyboard is hot-swappable, meaning you can easily remove and replace the switches without having to solder or desolder anything. It does mean, of course, that you won't find any dedicated media or macro keys on the Phantom RGB, or anything fancy like a volume knob or USB passthrough. OUTEMU SWITCHES - The gaming mechanical keyboard comes with Outemu mechanical switches for precise gaming and comfortable typing.

I have here the 104-key version, and the numpad aside, this review should help provide a better picture for both keyboards as a whole. But you can still swap in Outemu switches (sold separately), and this is additionally handy if something HAPPENS to one of your switches, and you just need to replace one or two! My problem with this material is that if the RGB is turned off, it's tough to tell which button is which.

of course you can replace the keycaps on ANY keyboard, but it’s nice to have some options out of the box! It also has 100% anti-ghosting technology, as well as N-key rollover , to ensure that every key hit is registered. Yes, the Tecware Phantom is good for gaming, especially if you get the Outemu Red Switch version (red switches are linear and general preferred for gaming). That's not to say this sort of thing won't happen again in the future, of course, and I'll admit I was disappointed that I was having to fiddle about with the key caps so quickly after I'd started using it. Even though this is really common these days, even with budget keyboards, it’s still a nice feature to have.As a result, I was able to pop off the key cap to check it was all right and then instantly reattach it without any problem. She's very partial to JRPGs and the fetching of quests, but also loves strategy and turn-based tactics games and will never say no to a good Metroidvania.
