Mechlands Vibe 99

There are so many options out there for keyboards these days, the choice is mind-boggling and narrowing it down to what you prefer/want is a tough job but then, that’s what we’re here for! Take this one from Mechlands for example. If you have limited space or prefer a compact keyboard, this one is ideal. Not only is it smaller than a full-sized keyboard, it has all the functional buttons you’re likely to need along with a 1.06” TFT (Thin Film Transistor – basically uses less power than an LED screen but improves image quality so is ideal for a smaller area) screen that is handy for showing battery life, the time and which connection mode you currently have. You can also load up Gif’s to help brighten your mood while using it!

Of course, part of the keyboard experience is how the keys sound and feel while you’re using them. The Vibe 99 features gasket mounted keys, providing a soft, almost cushioned feel while typing and less ‘clacking’ as a result, great for those that can’t stand the noise of typing or if you need to type and keep it quiet (like when someone else is trying to focus in the room). It achieves this through 5 layers of padding incorporating different types of foam and a bottom silicone pad. Surrounding the keys is a flex-cut PC plate with stabilisers that also helps to keep the nose signature to a minimum. All these things combined leave you with a very satisfying, smooth typing experience.

The Vibe 99 comes with 3 different ways to connect to your chosen device: wired, 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth. When using the wireless or Bluetooth option, the battery can last 2-3 weeks depending on usage and whether you have LGB backlighting active or not. Overall, this is a nicely compact, comprehensive and comfortable keyboard, really worth it for the price.RRP £67
