ErgoDox 76 Hot Dox V2 review

The ErgoDox Hot Dox is another reinterpretation of a classic design by Alpaca Keyboards. What was once the go-to DIY split kit with a hallmark thumb cluster, comes now pre-built, in a refreshed hotswap version and in a stunning acrylic case.

MelGeek Modern97 review

The Modern 97 is one of the recent models in a family of gorgeous keyboards designed by MelGeek: a prebuilt three-mode wireless 90% board.

Irok ND75 review

The IROK ND75, sold by MechKeys, is a genuine little gaming board with compact layout, nice magnetic switches, and plenty of RGB.

Whitefox Eclipse review

The WhiteFox Eclipse by Project Eclipse is the latest take on this classic model: a prebuilt 68% board with magnetic assembly and a whole ecosystem of modular cases. (Now with 10% off!)

Kemove K98 1980 review

This week I tested the Kemove K98 1980, a fully built three-mode wireless hotswap mechanical keyboard with 1800 layout.

LYNXware CAT review

The CAT by LYNXware is an incredible input device with a great potential. That said, you'll need some time to get accustomed to the custom software, the terminology, 22 thumb keys – and mouse switches!

Ergohaven Velvet 2 review

My thoughts about the Velvet 2, a small 40% prebuilt split by Ergohaven - with hotswap switches and keywell.

Luminkey80 review

The Luminkey80 is a TKL with gorgeous look, personality, and some crazy features like an F13 key.

Weikav Record Alice review

The Weikav Record Alice is an ultra-affordable kit if we consider the anodized alu case and the neat leaf-spring suspension.

DaringRun DR-70F review

The DR-70F by DaringRun is a great and affordable 70+5% keyboard at the same time – with an XT-style F column and clever two-in-one layout configuration à la TENET70.

8BitDo Retro keyboard

Here are my thoughts about the fun 8BitDo Retro Keyboard, a wireless TKL, hotswap, with dials and super buttons for the win! :D

Bancouver40 (minipeg48, kowgary16)

This is my review of the Bancouver40, this cool little pre-built ortho keyboard in a premium CNC aluminum case – designed by Sporewoh and sold by Chosfox.

M4CR0Pad in action

I tested the M4CR0Pad by Ergohaven and thought it would be interesting to demonstrate the ease of setting it up, along with a typical use case.

Ergohaven Planeta review

The Planeta is a clean and simple monoblock split keyboard by Ergohaven – with piezo speaker.

KBDcraft Adam0110b

KBDcraft now offers the LEGO-compatible Adam0110b, along with merging and upgrade kits to combine the 60% Adam and the Addams numpad.

Kemove P10 switch puller

Kemove sent me their P10 switch puller, which is a very handy little tool. And for just $12* it's a no-brainer.

Standard Keys TWS review

Keebmonkey sent me a TWS, a fully wireless split by Standard Keys with some nice features and twists. I've been using it for a week now and here is a quick review of this cool board – to be released in a couple of days.
