TECWARE Phantom+ 87 Key Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with RGB Backlight - Compact 75% TKL Design, Wraith Red Switches for Thocky Sound | Perfect for Esports, Office Work & Typing Enthusiasts

I recently purchased the Tecware Phantom RGB TKL keyboard and downloaded the accompanying software. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality, attention to detail, design features, and user experience.TL;DR: If you can afford it, buy it. well-designed, well-made, user-friendly, great hardware/software features, outstanding valueThe keyboard's quality and features are phenomenal, not to mention the great price. It's the perfect complement to my recent gaming PC build. The keyboard is well-manufactured and has many 'little' features that really polish the whole experience (the keycap puller clicks into a cutout underneath, the braided USB cable has a cover for the connector on a rubber leash, 4 extra switches and a switch puller are included). The switches feel as expected, and the keycaps are well-made. It's a sturdy board, and has a very clean look. As advertised, it's plug-and-play, though the software (available at Tecware.co) allows for more customization. The TKL size is great for freeing up desk space.The software is user-friendly and allows for complete key reassignment, including Fn functions and macros. The RGB is uniform and high-quality. It comes pre-programmed with 18 different modes, as well as complete color options in the software with the ability to create and save profiles with customized key settings and RGB effects/layouts. There's Fn functions on the keyboard to quickly change RGB features (change static color, select one of the 18 preset modes, set to the default moving rainbow, change direction of movement, increase/decrease speed of effect, increase/decrease brightness). There's indicator lights that blink when you've reached a maximum or minimum speed/brightness.Only a few minor gripes: Though there are 3 channels to route the cable out of the rear (left, middle, right), the braided cable is too thick to fully settle into the cutouts (however, it's really only a narrow part of the molded plastic on the keyboard that prevents this, a little filing of the plastic would easily solve the issue). Also, there's a slight 'tinny' sound after hitting some of the larger keys (space bar, backspace, enter, etc.), but it doesn't occur with the standard 1x1 size keys (might be fixed with o-ring dampeners on those larger keys). Some users may find it more ergonomic to use with a wristpad, but that's somewhat of a personal preference, as a built-in wristpad would take up more deskspace.Note: the backlit keycaps are manufactured much better than my camera makes them look.
