This isn't a mechanical keyboard. Rather, it gives you a feel like mechanical one.If you in a dilemma to choose between these and TVS Gold, here are some of the things you may need to consider.• The backspace key in this keyboard is wide, whereas in the case of TVS one it is the same size as that of other keys.• There are media functions that you can use in this keyboard with the help of dedicated "Fn" key.• This keyboard has wrist rest pad which is removable if you are tricky enough. But TVS keyboard doesn't come with rest pad. As a two finger typer and also due to lack of space in my desks keyboard holder, I removed the rest pad.• Both keyboards have uplifted keys to feel the typing feedback.• TVS Gold is mechanical whereas this feels like mechanical. The mechanical keyboards are definitely durable. But does it mean this is less durable? Not at all. It seems very durable.• This sounds less loud than TVS Gold keyboard.At a half price of TVS Gold keyboard, this is a keyboard to buy.

This is a normal membrane keyboard with unusual raised and tiered keys, a bit like typewrite, but keys are not raised high like on a type writer.It is written on the carton of the keyboard that it is "inspired by mechanical keyboard". The part of heaviness is caused by the metal plate put on the top of membrane inside the keyboard. There is also the weight of the palm rest.I bought just because it looks different.The rows of the keys are arranged just like seat arrangement in cinema hall. The function keys are raised highest, followed by number keys, and then the first row, second row and third row of letters. The third row of letters and the last row of spacebar is about equal. Under spacebar button, there are 2 springs that are visible. There are no tamper-evident stickers on the top of any of screws under the keyboard. There are 8 screws on portion of the main keyboard, and 4 screws on the palm rest portion. Now think about some cheap keyboards that are littered with many small screws.Palm rest is detachable. However you must be careful in removing it. First remove the screws for easy detachment of the palm rest. I disassembled the keyboard for review purpose. However I strongly recommend you not to disassemble. After disassembling and re-assembling, keyboard was not working properly and I had to spend 3 hours assembling the keyboard several times to make it work.Build quality is undoubtedly tough. But I haven't felt particularly comfortable using this keyboard compared to the Rs 250 Amkette keyboard that I had earlier. However it is good for long hours of typing because of the spacious palm rest.If you want to use multimedia keys, use them with FN key. There is no rupee symbol key.

Bought in July 2018. Looks good, feels good while typing but keys bounce back in a too sensitive way that almost every keystroke is repeated and I get double letters causing spelling mistakes all over a page. I had to spend double the time it takes for typing for just correcting the double keystrokes. I have used the good mechanical TVS keyboards till now but it died on me and I bought this stupid thing. There seems no way to turn off this thing touted as "anti-ghosting".Maybe it is good in gaming, but bad for typing in MS Word. At first I thought it was due to my habit of typing on TVS, and I would get used to this new keyboard. But even after two months it is the same story. And the noise it makes when typing at some speed is too distracting! It is different kind of sound, not tapping sound of a mechanical keyboard, but some friction kind annoying noise. Throwing this thing away and buying the good reliable TVS again. (PS: this review typed on a borrowed cheap membrane keyboard)

Pros:1. It feels great to type on this keyboard2. Typing speed is significantly faster compared to other cheaper keyboards3. Love the palm test, very helpfulCons:Paint on keys fade after few days and this is true. If you want to keep you keyboard safe keep reading.I read few reviews which said the paint will fade eventually, so I coated all the keys with a very thin layer of transparent nail polish after two days of purchase. I have attached the image you can zoom in and see the nail polish there.Tip: wipe your keyboard with a clean clothes before applying, also apply a very thin layer, if you make it thick then the paint will look dull.After coating a layer of nail polish dry it for a few hrs before using it.There you go! No worries now!Cheers!

Rubber dome, NOT mechanical. Good feel still. well built for the price. And the design is good for easy maintenance and cleaning . FN keys are a good add on. N the strip blue indicator light for lock keys are not bad to look at, rather impressive at this price i'd say. wrist rest is tiny and gets in the way slightly but can be removed with some prying. the lettering will start fading away in a couple of weeks of intense use.
