The Affordable Firerose Mechanical Keyboard Review

2016-11-06
this is the first player fire rose a white mechanical keyboard with beautiful LED backlit illumination and a crisp simplified design it's not in the same category as say the G scale km 780 but for less than half the price it's definitely a budget-friendly and sensible option first up let's discuss what this keyboard has and what it does not have it is a mechanical keyboard and it's sporting a variant of blue switches they're my personal favorite yes very loud but also very tactful and responsive but when these keys aren't our Cherry MX switches they're out to Moo switches as I say an out to move seems we're seeing more and more of these lately as someone who's used both authentic cherry and autumn ooh blue switches in the past I can say that differences are minimal something I do notice is that the knockoff switches are a bit heavier so it will require an extra few grams of force for actuation what's missing key wise is a dedicated row of media keys it's always a pain having to hold the function button down as well as f 2 or 3 to just adjust my computer's volume let's talk about the LEDs for a second they aren't customizable I know that can be a deal-breaker for some but in a weird kind of way I don't mind the predetermined color scheme it's difficult to describe but in my opinion these shades of blue purple and orange look absolutely beautiful and highlight the unique white frame you can adjust a breathing effect to be a function Plus home as well as turn them off completely but that's just about as far as it goes the good thing even when the LEDs are off the key cap legends are very legible even though they are semi-transparent something I can't say for many of it's similarly priced competitors and what about build quality in general this is something you would expect a keyboard with this price tag to compromise on but I'm here to say that you won't be disappointed sure there are a few minor cosmetic issues in the box whether it's the shipper or quality control to blame I cannot say but it's built rather strong without a doubt it weighs just over 2 pounds about one kilogram sports a thick rubber cable also in the white color and firm rubberized feet with incline support as far as I'm aware this keyboard model doesn't come in black from this specific brand but it seems every affordable keyboard in today's day and age is a knockoff of someone else's keyboard so I'm sure you could find something that looks very similar in your choice color the fire rose logo rests in between the navigation keys it's red and in caps but not very flashy something I appreciate in a model like this again it's no course their orgies go keyboard what it is is a compromise very clearly but that's not a bad thing look if you were already considering a $40.00 mechanical keyboard in the first place then you should have had compromises in mind no Cherry MX switches for example possibly no custom RGB functionality that one I do wish this hat so here are my three critiques it doesn't have dedicated media keys it has minor physical imperfections and it doesn't have led customization the price tag of the first player fire rose on Amazon right now however is just 45 US dollars which i think is a compelling offer if you're looking for a white mechanical keyboard with LED support that does not break the bank then this one is definitely for you I've made it a point to use only this keyboard for the past two weeks just to show you that I wouldn't mind using this as my daily driver especially considering it's only 45 bucks in a heartbeat I would buy one of these with my own money if I was looking for a budget conscious option no regrets whatsoever and that's coming from someone whose previous keyboard was in excess of 100 bucks yes it's a recycled design yes the key caps and frame are used on other keyboards but consider the price you're paying 45 bucks is a lot of bucks for a white mechanical keyboard you can find the fire roses link in this video's description leave a like subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you soon
