Is A $35 Mechanical Keyboard Any Good?

2016-11-11
when I heard about budget mechanical keyboards that didn't crack $50 I reached out to a company that I already had experience with vilasa fire and asked them if they had anything on hand when they said they had the new VM o1 keyboard that had teal backlighting interesting and brown mechanical switches for $35 I almost lost myself let's take a look at this little bad bland also their accompanying Mouse the v9 to see if these gadgets are indeed worth the $35 asking price what was the tech city this is Brian coming to you guys today with a budget entry-level keyboard and mouse review though the word budget sticks to mind the keyboard which will focus on first features a mechanical Brown switch from a company called Zorro which i've never heard of though the switches did feel consistent even though the feedback wasn't as pronounced as I would like especially compared to that of a Cherry MX brown it did feel a little softer however it was very comfortable type on especially for long sessions and with that let's have a quick listen to what this keyboard sounds like the keyboard itself has a unique capital font on a matte black coating across both the caps and the keyboard itself the logo is featured above the arrow keys and features that fireball that's kind of indicative of another tack channel and with this particular model you'll have six different styles of backlighting lip breathing scaling down with or without holding and scaling up with or without holding you can disable the Windows key from the keyboard itself by pressing the function Windows key looking at the weight of the keyboard it feels solid since they have used the metal back plating with the VMO one weighting it at almost 1.2 kilograms the cable is 1.6 meters long and there are no clips to adjust the height which if it was only one thing to critique about this keyboard it would be just that I'd like to see the clips there so you could adjust the height of this keyboard there is no wrist rest or key cap puller included and the boxing was minimalist though this price I really can't expect any of the aforementioned to be included so for 35 bucks it's a solid little option that I can recommend to anyone who is on a budget but still wants something consistent to type and game on now under the v9 Mouse getting straight into business here this is a palm grip style Mouse that weighs in at 104 grams without the weight it has three adjustable weights that interestingly enough can be screwed into the mouse itself very easily and quickly to add an additional 12 grams in total or roughly 4 grams each very awesome way to add weights might add onto the bottom of the mouse there are also six teflon feet which made this Mouse glide very well on my razor goliath control edition mouse mat the Vino itself features the Abagail 9800 sensor and has on run switches on the four buttons of the mouse which all have a solid click to them there is also an on-the-fly dpi button and a red LED light to indicate what level of DPI movement you on stock settings use 800 1630 280 200 increments though you can download the software and make your own adjustments to the four levels if you like you can also change the polling rate from 125 Hertz all the way up to a thousand Hertz in the software the main LED light can also be changed to an array of different colors so to pick and choose which you'd like to match your setup the surface of the mouse is matte dark gray and the mouse has a cable that extends to 1.8 meters long which is also braided the software allows you to program the buttons on the mouse for a total of eight different configurations with the buttons in the scroll wheel the scroll wheel is awesome stiff and not too hard to move you can reliably use the press as a button without having to worry about scrolling up or down whilst pressing the software allows you to program the macros as well but what about the input lag testing this against my Razer Taipan I found them to be virtually identical in terms of input lag which is great for vilasa fire since this mouse also has 128 kilobytes of onboard memory - all the specs are great on paper how well does this mouse perform in games when I loaded up counter-strike csgo of 4k just to test for any skipping or erratic movement I was happy to report that there was none this mouse was very smooth and playing games like csgo I found that this mouse was just great if you're a palm grip enthusiast I found myself fragging with these having a great time and also not noticing any noticeable input lag or stuttering so there we have a two products that come in at entry-level pricing and offer extremely good value for money the mouse was impressive having all the features that I'd want from a palm grip Mouse yet coming in at 35 dollars the keyboard was pretty awesome for 35 bucks - featuring mechanical browns and although heavy and looking a little bit budget it is great for someone who doesn't want to spend lots of money on a keyboard but still wants the comfort the mechanical switches have to offer there we are hope you enjoyed this review today if you did hit that like button if you have any questions about the mouse or keyboard featured here today then be sure to drop a comment in comment section below I'll get back to you as soon as I can also let me know in the comment section below what kind of mouse grip do you use at the moment the lot of your comments as always and I'll catch in the next tag video very soon he's out for now bye so here's the final test is it cowboy proof
