Tenkeyless Size

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Goes from no, all the way to RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: There are several different models with different prices. The only differences are the price, and the backlighting options. There is a non backlit model ($27), a red backlit model ($30), a rainbow backlit model ($33), and an RGB model ($43).

For $27, you're getting quite a lot of bang for your buck, even though the switches are Cherry clones and the keycaps aren't amazing. That's honestly not much more money than a cheap rubber dome keyboard costs.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Double-shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Like the Redragon, pretty decent for $27.

Switches: Likely Outemu

Keycaps: ABS Double-Shot

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit, or RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: One model has just regular backlighting ($28), while the other model has RGB ($38).

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit, no RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Velocifire has several different TKL models released, and they all appear to be fairly similar, and fairly similarly priced.

I would like to note that they do make a wireless option as well, just know that these are not as responsive. Every keypress will take longer to register. Although it won't take much longer, if you plan on gaming competitively at all I would highly suggest against a wireless model. If you will just be typing, they will be fine.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: ABS, aftermarket replacement recommended

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB with 10 Presets

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: The right shift key is not a standard size, this will make replacing the ABS keycaps harder to do, but not impossible. The switches are hot-swappable, so changing the switches can be done without desoldering and soldering. Note that not all switches are compatible with this feature.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: ABS Double-Shot

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: The switches are hot-swappable which could be useful for some. This means that the switches can be changed without desoldering and soldering new ones in. Note that not all switches are compatible with this feature.

Switches: Outemu

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This is a 75% layout keyboard, which makes it difficult to replace the keycaps. You can read more about layouts in the Home page. This keyboard looks like a solid option for the price point, but only if you can stand the keycaps.

Looking at this board, it appears that the arrow keys are a nonstandard size. If you plan on changing the keycaps, I recommend skipping this board, as it would be nearly impossible to replace the arrow keys specifically. The shift key appears to be the same way, it would be hard to find a replacement cap.

Switches: Gateron

Keycaps: Laster Etched ABS with Clear Legends

Case Material: Plastic with an aluminum plate

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: Seems like a fairly solid board for the price.

Switches: Kailh ML

Keycaps: Laser-Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: The switches it uses are Kailh ML switches, which are low profile switches. Essentially think about a laptop keyswitch, except that they are mechanical. Note that with that kind of switch there probably aren't too many keycap options. Definitely not anywhere near as many as there would be with the standard switches.

Switches: Gateron

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: Qisan Magicforce boards are often recommended. This board is a 75% layout, but the manufacturer considers it an 80%. To each their own.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: PBT Double-shot

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Varies (None to Backlit to RGB)

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: There are three different models of this keyboard. The varying price is due to this fact. There is a nonbacklit version ($80), a backlit version ($100), and an RGB version ($140)

Switches: Greetech

Keycaps: ABS Laser Etched

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This keyboard has a 75% layout, and the keycaps are not amazing. I'm sure they would be okay, but I would recommend replacing them. The problem there is that many sets are not accommodating of the 75% layout, so generally you have to spend more money on a higher quality keycap set because of this. Just something to consider.

I don't see too much reason to get this over something like E Element's Z88 or the Redragon K552 to be honest.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Doubleshot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None (on this model)

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: They do have an RGB model and a blue LED model, but they are more expensive ($100 for backlit and $140 for RGB). This would be a nice board for $90, and if you were really interested to save the $10 compared to the One 2, this would still be a good option.

Switches: Cherry MX, or Kailh, Or Matias

Keycaps: Laser Etched ABS (Aftermarket replacement recommended)

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None on this model

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: There is a model that has Blue/Red LEDs, which work similarly to RGB except the only two colors you can have are blue and red.

I would probably recommend a Ducky One 2 over this. Not saying that the board is bad, but considering you could get some nice keycaps with the ducky for the same price, it might be a better option.

Switches: Kailh or Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: Pretty standard backlit board

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlighting

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Seems like a reasonably priced backlit keyboard.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Thin ABS Laser-etched, aftermarket keycaps recommended

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: http://www.elitekeyboards.com may be a good place to check for these.

Like the KBParadise V80, I would probably recommend a Ducky One 2 over this. Not saying that the board is bad, but considering you could get some nice keycaps with the ducky for the same price, it might be a better option.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None, there is a model with backlighting though

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: The image depicts the Skyline model, but all that refers to is the keycap colorway. Other models may have different keycap material, so be careful. I would say this is a pretty great board for the price. If you are interested in RGB, I would suggest looking into iKBC's f87.

Switches: Cherry

Keycaps: Double-shot PBT keycaps

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: This has a lot of bang for your buck, and is a great competitor with the Ducky One 2. If RGB is something you would like to have, this would be a great option. The MF87 V.2. is basically a premium version of this board, and it is listed down below.

Switches: Topre Clones

Keycaps: Laser Etched PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This keyboard is similar to Topre boards, like the Realforce 87u that you will find further down the list. They are not mechanical, and they are not for everyone. I suggest researching Topre and Plum keyboards heavily before you decide to buy this board.

Switches: Gateron Brown

Keycaps: Doubleshot ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This keyboard is hot-swappable, so the switches can be changed out without desoldering and soldering. Note that not all switches are compatible with this feature.

There is a customizable option, which includes other Gateron/Kailh switch options and the option for white keycaps. If you do the customizable option, you will be required to install the switches and keycaps (extremely easy and hard to screw up, but tedious and time consuming) and the price may fluctuate some. You can even order it without switches or without keycaps or both and then purchase your own elsewhere.

Switches: KBT

Keycaps: Double-shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: I would probably recommend the iKBC f87 over this board simply due to it being $20 cheaper, and it uses Cherry MX switches.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: PBT Double-shot keycaps

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: There are several different options in regards to colors etc. Make sure to look into the keycaps being used on whatever model you go for.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps:

Case Material: Appears to have an aluminum plate, and an acrylic bottom/case.

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit, RGB Underglow

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Beautiful board, solid construction.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Dye Sublimated PBT keycaps

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: There are multiple different colorways available similar to some of Ducky's boards.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Pad Printed ABS keycaps (would recommend aftermarket caps)

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No, but yes on the convertible model

Other Notes: The standard model of this keyboard is a nice keyboard for the price.

The convertible model is essentially the same keyboard, but it is a bluetooth model. The cable can still be used on the bluetooth model. The bluetooth model uses consumable batteries. One perk of the bluetooth model is that it can easily switch between computers, so if you have to operate many different computers but want a clean desk, this might be for you.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-Shot PBT

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: Backlit

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: Pretty Standard, for the money I'd probably recommend something else.

Switches: "Light-Strike" Optical Switches (linear or clicky variants)

Keycaps: Laser-Etched ABS

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: The point of this keyboard and the other current models (B975 and B945) is to almost entirely eliminate input lag. These keyboards utilize optical switches which do in fact eliminate input lag compared to standard metal contact mechanical switches, but although the difference is fairly substantial looking at response times, it's not a difference that is easily noticed. Along with using optical switches, the actuation distance on the keys is shorter than on other mechanical keyboards, which also technically benefits "input lag" but only because it actuates the key sooner within the keypress. I'll leave it to you to decide if the difference is worthwhile, technically it could give you an advantage in competitive gameplay, but personally it seems to be mostly placebo. This keyboard is designed for gamers, and that's apparent aesthetically as well. I suggest if you are looking at purchasing this keyboard, consider the B975 instead. The B975 has superior keycaps (Double-Shot ABS rather than Laser-Etched) and the overall build quality is superior. At this price point, you're really paying for the optical switch technology more than anything, so know that other keyboards at this price will likely be preferable in most areas. Note: The B945 model is very similar to the B930, except that it has a numpad on the left side. More detail can be found in the "Optical Switch Keyboards" page.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: DSA Dye Sublimated PBT keycaps

Case Material: Aluminum

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: The keycaps for this board are top notch, however the shape of them is different from a standard keyboard. They are all uniform height, compared to most boards having the keycaps increase in height from the front to the back of the board. They are also shaped differently. Look up the DSA keycap profile for more information. The main problem with this is that the keycaps would be hard to replace since it is a 75% layout, finding an accommodating set may become expensive. The keycaps are very high quality though, so if you don't mind the profile there is no reason to replace them.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Double-shot PBT keycaps

Case Material: Aluminum

Backlighting/RGB: RGB

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This is a great option. Even though this board may seem expensive, you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. If you want an RGB TKL board that is pre-built and aren't super worried about the price, this is an excellent option.

Switches: Cherry MX

Keycaps: Dye Sublimated PBT keycaps

Case Material: Aluminum

Backlighting/RGB: White Backlighting

Detachable Cable: Yes

Other Notes: This is another high quality option along with the iKBC MF87 V.2.

Switches: Topre

Keycaps: Dye Sublimated PBT keycaps

Case Material: Plastic

Backlighting/RGB: None

Detachable Cable: No

Other Notes: This keyboard along with some others use Topre switches, and that is the general reason for the price tag. These switches are technically not mechanical, and are essentially very premium rubber dome switches. Don't let that scare you off though, the keyswitches are very pleasant to type on for most. You can find more information regarding Topre and other Topre keyboards here: Link

This keyboard comes in either white or black, and there are several different models with different weighted switches. Some models are silenced as well, those are more expensive.

Switches: Options from Gateron, Kailh, Cherry, Zeal, and Aliaz

Keycaps: NONE, will require purchase of keycaps separately

Case Material: Aluminum with an acrylic layer for underglow

Backlighting/RGB: Underglow, Backlighting LEDs can be added as well

Detachable Cable: Yes (does not come with the cable pictured)

Other Notes: This board can be purchased from KBDfans.cn

As a side note, there is an option to select GMK Stabilizers, these stabilizers are superior to the ones that come with the board otherwise, but are not necessary. They are something to consider though.

LED's can be added by adding LEDs to your cart and then requesting in the comments for them to install them. Also, I would recommend that you also request for them to clip and lube the stabilizers.

This keyboard will be found as a DIY kit, but in the Assembly Service section, you can pay for them to assemble it. The DIY kit will require you to solder all of the switches onto the PCB. If you do the DIY kit, make sure to purchase switches.

Don't forget to buy keycaps, and since this is a 75% layout, you will have to find a set that is accommodating of that. They have some keycap sets on their website that would work well.
