Thermaltake’s Challenger Edge gaming keyboard seems to have all the elements that mechanical keyboard fans desire. It has a new floating keycap design, delivering an array of colors under each keycap. All this is based on a beautiful black brushed aluminum faceplate with laser engraved keycaps.
The floating design allow the keycaps to not rub out the font while offering a brighter backlight. There is a pleasant glow across the keyboard because of the aluminium faceplate. The keyboard comes with 8 RGB colors and 4 lighting effects. You can customize the 8 lighting colors and effects on the keyboard itself.
You also have the option to lock your keyboard. Just imagine you’re eating chole bhature while playing and you dropped some gravy on the beautiful black brushed aluminium faceplate. You can lock your keyboard and have your mum come and clean it up without commanding unintentionally.
You can press upto 6 keys at the same time and it will be registered simultaneously at keystroke to ensure a fluid gaming session. The keyboard isn’t a mechanical-switch keyboard, instead is a the Challenger Edge employs membrane switches which create a very short travel distance to actuation on each key. And overtime, I’ve come to like this better than the mechanical keys. It gives me similar response without the clicking sound, which is quite a relief for my ears.
I’ve used this keyboard for about a month now and I have to say that I am quite impressed with it. It’s taken a decent amount beating as well on the various gaming road shows I’ve taken it on. It’s been chucked into boxes, dumped into the back of a car. Not to mention the number of hands that have been on it. If you’re new to the gaming sphere and can’t shell out a lot of cash, then this might be the one to go for. You can get your hands on this keyboard for about Rs. 4,250.
