Today we are going to take a look at a budget mechanical
keyboard again and this one's pink this is the Motospeed K82 10 keyless RGB
mechanical keyboard that could quite possibly be the best budget RGB mechanical
keyboard I've ever seen so let's take a look .
So first of all what do you get in the box! ,well you get
the typical motospeed box with the keyboard inside a key cap puller if you want
to change the key caps and of course the manual.
The K82 comes in two colors being pink and black I chose the
pink version but the black version does look super clean however I hadn't seen
a budget pink evil before so I went with that one.
Following this is the build quality the Motospeed k82 feels
pretty well built with solid abs key caps of a moderate thickness a rose gold
backplate and the keyboard itself overall has minimal flats, some I don't
really like though is the cable the k2 has a non-removable unbraided USB cable
and compared to the Motospeed ck62 which has a removable braided USBC cable ,this
is kind of disappointing.
The case is plastic but honestly at this price point that's
to be expected and it actually sits pretty nicely with the backplate if a
little different in color.
Next is the RGB lighting a key selling point for a lot of
people ,the Motospeed K82 features real RGB lighting that can be controlled by
other function keys which I will say isn't the most intuitive and there's still
no software on Motospeed apart to properly control this ,the LEDs can be set to
pretty much any color except weirdly white and that is a ton of fun modes if
you enjoy that sort of thing I personally like to keep mine in either a solid
ice blue or a slow RGB wave as a thing these are both a really amazing look on
this keyboard ,the colors are nice and vibrant and are consistently bright
again they're built into the PCB so this does make it difficult to replace them
but for such a low price I really can't complain that much.
Moving on to the switches these are again red linear switch
with 45 grams of actuation force and a clone of a cherry switch meaning that if
you want to replace these key caps with something custom as long as they fit a
Cherry MX switch they will fit these ,simply put the switches mean that this
keyboard isn't clicky and the key presses feel fairly light I've spoken before
how I think that out of all the cheap mechanical switches Alton we were
probably the best and in my experience I found them to be better than other
clones such as Kale notoriously scratchy but not quite as good as Cherry or
Gatoron so if I've actually found me out in Moretz to be pretty decent and
there's somebody who uses Lib gator on blacks on their main board he's honestly
aren't far inferior ,I have found the switches to be a little bit wobblier than
the cherry and Gator on alternatives but it's not to the point where it becomes
unusable speaking of stability the stabilizers on this keyboard are still clip
on which I have found to be more fragile and more rattling than other styles
such as screw ins ,they also do make installing custom key caps more difficult
but on the last Motospeed keyboard I tried which also have these they lasted
over four months with no issues.
Next we have the key caps again their abs a moderate
thickness which I personally prefer over PBT purely due to sound reasons
they're pink on my model and match really well to the case but I would have
honestly like to see them and why for that traditional mechanical keyboard
Sakura look that just looks so crispy.
So now I think we've reached a point in the review where we
should be hearing what this keyboard sounds like ↓↓ .
Overall for $40 I really do think that this would be a great
first step into the mechanical keyboard market for a lot of people and to those
people who want a real mechanical keyboard in a TKA layout with RGB for $40 I
totally recommend it.
If you don't need RGB then I would strongly recommend the
magic14 68 is it's got better stamps and a removable cable and if you're
willing to spend a little bit more than I suggest checking out the Motospeed ck6 - it has a removable cable and can be used wirelessly.
I had reviewed the magic14 68 before you can check it out Here.
