Cooler Master SK630 Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Low Profile Switches in Brushed Aluminum Design

Preface: I've never worked with mechanical keyboards before and I prefer chiclet/laptop keyboards so my opinions are likely very biased. The Cooler Master keyboard has a lot of issues and I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a 2nd-gen revision for it. There are a lot of things to like about it but the main issues I have with it is the functionality.When pressing down on a key, the actuation happens maybe 1-2mm down. If you slightly push down on a key, it will trigger. This *sounds* great but the key doesn't bottom out in the same way. Instead, the key travel is SO much that it ends up being frustrating. For ppl who've worked on laptops or chiclet keyboards all their life, the "low-profile" is definitely not low enough.That said, I've specially ordered 2.5mm o-ring switch dampeners hoping that they will reduce the key travel; I really want to like the SK630 so I hope this will alleviate some of my concerns. For now, I will repeat the same talking points as most reviewers: Build quality is great. The LEDs are bright and very visible; lots of options. Feels sturdy. Easy to clean.Is it good for gaming? Not really.Is it good for work? Very questionable.

No puedo recomendar este teclado, es de precio elevado pero su calidad no esta alta en general, tiene varios detalles.Se siente "barato", las teclas son muy gruesas y se propician muchos errores al escribir, creo que es un buen intento de cooler master pero tendran que hacerle muchas mejoras, uno de los problemas mas grandes que tengo con este teclado es que las teclas tienen mucho juego y hace que se vean chuecas, si compras este teclado por su estetica (cosa que yo hice), una vez que hayas notado la asimetria, se acaba su encanto.Es una pena porque este teclado tiene casi todo lo que estaba buscando en un solo paquete, tal vez si costara la mitad entonces se podria entender la falta calidad en los detalles.Buen intento CM pero se quedaron cortos.

I love the way the keyboard looks and that's the primary reason I bought this one. Overall I would say it's a really good keyboard but I have to take a star off because there's just something about the spacing and shape of the keykaps that have made it very difficult to type accurately on. I think because of these three things combined...1 - flat keykaps2 - close spacing of the keys3 - keys are easy to press from any point on the cap... it means that it's very easy to accidentally hit the very edge of a neighbouring key, and any contact at all seems to register the keypress. I find this happens all the time and I spend a lot of time deleting the extra characters.It also feels like it's harder to feel your way around the keyboard.But still, I love the way it looks so much that I can easily look past that. But if what you're after is more so the typing experience, rather than the aesthetics, I'd recommend my other keyboard, the Master Keys Pro with Cherry MX brown switches.

I had a hard time tracking one of these down, but I don't know what all the bad press was about. Some people were complaining that the keys weren't 100% perfectly aligned, but it may have just been a small sampling, or else I was lucky. The keys aren't that difficult to type on, like most new keyboards, there's typos at the start, but with practice they disappear.No keyboard is 100% perfect or else we'd all own that one.

I've used this keyboard for a couple of weeks and I had to return it. The RGB is great, but the feeling of the keys and its distance between keys doesn't feel right. Often times I would find myself pressing the keys beside it or pressing the keys twice for it to register.After a while your fingers start to hurt the longer you type because of the hard material the keycaps are made of. Since there is no incline your wrist start to feel strained. It would be nice if there was a kickstand to raise the keyboard in an angle. Overall it's a good experience for gaming, but for word processing, you're better off with another keyboard.
