Product Information

The keyboard itself is extremely well packaged and tucked away by QPAD with plenty of foam padding and a plastic covering to ensure it arrives on your doorstep unspoilt. Secondly, due to lack of a dedicated side array of keys and the rather limited key nature of the MK-85 (compared to other larger gaming keyboards), assigning gaming functionality comes at the cost of losing a default key.

For those interested in extra information, a good run-down and comparison of switches can be found hereand anyone considering a mechanical keyboard should check it out.

The switches are exceptionally smooth on this keyboard with just enough clackety-clack to satisfy the ASMR I need from a keyboard without being annoying to those around me. While I know after claiming rewards it's tied to Steam Profile, so SteamDeck's serial number is tied to it, I wonder how it does work on first run.ABS is the plastic used to manufacture the caps and is cheap to produce when compared to other materials. With matte-coated surfaces and rounded edges, they provide a pleasant feel as well as accuracy regardless of where you strike the key. Its compact width enables a better position of your mouse or pen resulting in a more natural and comfortable posture. Granted that would increase the cost, but man, would it ever make this thing the perfect beginner’s mechanical keyboard.

Upon picking it up, one may notice that there is a considerable weight to the MK-85 that instills confidence in the product suggesting the MK-85 is a well built and solid offering. The software may not be up to the standards of the hardware but nevertheless there is no point in further delaying to see how the Mk-85 performed in actual usage. If this had a trackball where the numbpad is, similar to where the joystick/d-pad on the original HB-101 and 201, this would be my ultimate CAD workhorse. The past week or so has also included a move towards ‘smart/self-casting’ my abilities when playing LoL, which generally means you’d always have the Ctrl or Alt key pressed in addition to your usual key presses.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.
