Plugable Compact 87-Key Mechanical Keyboard with Red Linear Switches - Cable Connectivity - USB Interface - 87 Key - Unix, Mac OS, Linux, Windows - Mechanical Keyswitch USB-MECH87RW

It''s time to upgrade your computing experience with a high quality mechanical keyboard. Mechanical keyboards offer more precision, improved typing feedback, and what many consider to be a more satisfying sound and feel when compared to traditional rubber dome/membrane style keyboards that can often be described as "mushy" or "lifeless". Please note that we recommend red switch model keyboards instead of our blue switch models for quiet office environments as the blue "clicky" switches may not be appropriate in an office setting. Mechanical Switches After our success with the Plugable blue switch "clicky" mechanical keyboards we decided it was time to introduce linear versions to our lineup. Just as with our blue switch models we used Gaote, a relatively well known switch manufacturer with their Outemu switch brand. Outemu switches are a high quality clone of the classic Cherry MX switches. The Gaote PG150 Series Outemu Red switch provides a smooth and lightweight linear action with limited noise pollution. The switches are rated for 50 million actuations (key-presses) and require 60±15 cN of force with 4.0±0.2mm of keystroke travel. Double-shot Keycaps Double-shot refers to a process where the keycap legend (text on the keycap) and the keycap itself are two separately molded parts. The main benefit of this design prevents the legend from wearing off and make the keyboard far more durable than inexpensive keyboards using traditional pad printing or laser etching techniques which can often start to show signs of wear in just a matter of weeks. We also include a keycap puller for easy removal of the keycaps to clean the keyboard or install your own custom keycap set. Full N-Key Rollover Each key switch is individually addressed by the micro-controller chipset in this keyboard enabling full N-Key rollover and anti-ghosting for multiple key presses to register simultaneously giving gamers an edge against the competition. Most keyboards only offer 6-key rollover or less and some keyboards have limitations of what three keys can be pressed down at the same time limiting the ability for macros and keyboard shortcuts. Anti-Ghosting Inexpensive keyboards may sometimes register phantom keypresses when typing certain key combinations. With anti-ghosting you will never get an unexpected input. Adjustable White Backlighting Backlighting ensures easy key visibility regardless of ambient light. Features full on/off control along with dimmable brightness and a "breathing" mode where the light gently pulsates on and off. No special software required. Gaming Functions Ability to swap WASD and Arrow key functions (useful for retro games or left handed users) Windows and context keys can be disabled Ergonomic Design and Compact Footprint The keyboard keycaps feature an ergonomic sculpted OEM (standard) profile to provide a gentle sloped arc preventing hand fatigue. Flip out rear feet can elevate the keyboard about 1/2 inch for a more relaxed typing position. Unlike most inexpensive keyboards the feet have rubber pads to prevent the keyboard from slipping. We know desk space can be at a premium - this tenkeyless keyboard measuring in at just under 14 inches wide and 5 1/4 inches deep is perfect for users who don''t need a numeric pad but do need more desk space.
