MageGee Portable 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, MK-Box LED Backlit Compact 68 Keys Mini Wired Office Keyboard with Red Switch for Windows Laptop PC Mac - Black/Grey

We bought this keyboard for my son since he likes to play his PS5 with a keyboard and mouse and it has worked out really well. He was excited as soon as he plugged it in and started clicking away. The keys feel responsive and have that nice click sound you expect from a mechanical keyboard. The LED backlight gives it a cool look without being over the top and the compact size makes it easy to fit on his desk alongside his other gaming gear. He has been using it a lot and so far it has held up with no problems. For the quality you get the price was actually really good. It feels sturdy, not flimsy or cheap like some budget keyboards, and the overall build makes me think it will last. Even the cable feels solid and not like it will fray after a few weeks. I am even considering picking up another one for my husband since he also plays on PS5 and liked the feel of this one. Overall I think this keyboard is a great value. It looks good, it works well, and my son is really happy with it. For gaming or even for a smaller setup where you do not want a huge full size keyboard taking up space, this one is a winner. Definitely a 5 star from us.

Nice little thing, for its price I really can't ask more. But I can't give it 5 stars because it entirely was missing the Tab keycap, and had nothing to replace it with. Meanwhile, I had a vertical Enter key, vertical + key, and a 0/Ins key all from a tenkey set, no replacement right shift in the orange color. So I currently have the replacement W key in orange on tab space. All in all, replacing a keyboard that didn't work with a keyboard that is 1% janky is no issue, as far as I'm concerned. Happy with my purchase. Size is nice and small, looks cute on my desk. Keys are responsive. Sound is meh: not loud, which is good, but it's also not going to win any major awards for impressive sound. I didn't buy it for "thock" so I don't mind that it's a bit mediocre in that regard. Honestly it's just the lack of that tab cap that takes it down from five stars. It's exactly what I expected it to be, though QMK would have been nice, but for the price point I really can't expect a miracle. Also, buyer beware (?), the keyboard does not come set up as it is in the picture. You have to manually switch out black keys for the orange shown. Also included, at least in mine, orange WASD keys. Update: Five minutes later I was able to find the tab keycap on the carpet on my floor and replace the silly orange W key with the proper keycap. It now looks absolutely normal and is comfortable to use.

[60%, blue/white key caps & blue switches] Extended use update: after about 4 months of use (approximately 2 hours a night gaming and 5 hours a week normal typing) the J key has started to be intermittent, with normal or firm pressure making no difference in function. One star deducted for poor reliability. Keyboard was retired for a full sized board, rather than repaired, since being without a num-pad was more of a disadvantage than the larger size of a full keyboard. TLDR: ...great mechanical keyboard for cheap, better with o-rings installed and probably not a good match for folks with big hands, or anyone who needs full functionality with non-gaming apps. Full-ish review: All plastic top deck and recessed key bases aren't as "gamer" as higher end keyboards with flat aluminum top decks, but the switches have great action and you can turn the LED backlight down to useable levels , or off if desired (the brightest settings and demo modes are distracting, even in normal room light but the key symbols are hard to see without any backlight). The keys caps are actual two part co-molded types, rather than clear keys with paint masking (like my basic Logitech mechanical), though the cap thickness is a bit on the thin side. Key spacing is slightly cramped compared to many other keyboards, even some laptops and compacts. As received, the keyboard is *very* "clackety", but adding o-rings leaves a distinct "click" with each key press, but none of the resonant clatter from the key caps bottoming on the switch base. Adding the o-rings reduced overall key noise by about a third to my uncalibrated ear... Sufficient weight and decent rubber feet keep it from moving around too much during intense gaming and dual height feet on the back give a good range of angles. The size of a 60% board is awesome for clearing desk space for mouse movement, but if you're also using your gaming machine for general purpose computing, you may want to have a full sized keyboard to swap in for running any apps that benefit from dedicated F-keys, or a num-pad (the F-keys are doubled up with the upper row number keys and require a second keystroke to access). Honestly, I wish that gaming boards with just a num-pad delete were more common at this price, as they're much more useful, even for gaming, where having F-keys that are directly accessed is often a benefit. **This review is based on the first week of use, if there are any quality issues I'll revise the review and ratings!

For a pretty cheap mechanical keyboard it comes with a lot of customizable features. You can change the backlight pattern and speed. The full detachable usb is nice. I gor the red switches and the sound and feel was just right. I heard the blue switches were too loud. I really like the keyboard. My son got this on and im probably going to order one for my next keyboard.

I don't have much experience with gaming keyboards and I really just bought this to have a little more room on my desk at work, but I think it's pretty good. It's very clicky and while I do think it sounds just a little bit cheap, it's still satisfying to type on. I wish the lights were a bit brighter, but otherwise the variety of patterns it produces are fun. I haven't noticed any lag or connection issues, although I will mention that occasionally the @ and # are replaced with " and £ seemingly for no reason. I assume I'm hitting some kind of hotkey that changes 2 and 3's special characters, but I've yet to figure out what I could be doing and it's JUST those two keys. At no point does anything else change what it types. It might even be a weird glitch, but it's rare it happens and it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about. That aside, I've been happy with it and I'd recommend it as a stepping stone for someone not looking to spend a ton on a mechanical keyboard. I think it makes a great starting point. It also came with additional red keys so you can swap them out if you don't want it to be the default color.

Purchased back in 2023. USB port is now failing causing intermittent connections. Not the most robust keyboard, but what you'd expect at this price. Also, the keys are really loud.

I don’t think you could get a better keyboard for the price. The key actions are nice, it looks good and it’s very portable. Sure you could spend ten times as much and get more specific switches, etc, but this is a really great option if you don’t care quite that much but still want a nice keyboard.

I bought this because i wanted a secondary portable keyboard to use with kids SteamDeck. Compared to my logitech keyboards its a little light and cheap feeling but for the price its a great little keyboard. I went with the red switches and i do prefer my blue clicky switches(its what im used to) but these feel good and they are much quieter than my blues so great for shared spaces. Its the exact same width as a SteamDeck so it fits nicely in a messenger bag next to the deck in its case for easy transport! 100% would recommend, i didn't even know i wanted one for myself and will be buying another to use with my ROG ally because at this price why not!
