PICTEK Gaming Keyboard – Keyboard

Great product i use it for typing mainly but also fine for gaming. I’d looked at the expensive ones but the premium for led lighting seems a tad silly. This is a very solid feeling quality product. The sound of mechanical keys is also strangely satisfying.

Fantastic keyboard; very responsive, feels really nice, looks stunning, and is built like a tank.

This keyboard has blown me away. For the price of this mechanical keyboard the build quality is absolutely amazing not to mention it is water resistant. The blue switches are an absolute please to type on. For only £40 you are getting a truly amazing keyboard no need to spend £70 on another when this mechanical keyboard is just as good. The only thing is that the keys are not back-lit which i think is a great add on but not necessarily necessary. This keyboard lacks the back-lit keys but the style is on point and in my opinion looks great. Conclusionif you are looking for mechanical keyboard but not looking to spend the £70 for one this is a great choice. It does not lack the quality or style you would get with more expensive keyboards. I would highly recommend this mechanical keyboard.

I was a bit concerned about whether it would be a good or not keyboard. I actually like it a lot, the only downside is that the enter botton is not the big one but the slim one which i hate but you get use to it.

This keyboard came well packaged in a cardboard box with an inner polystyrene sleeve. Included in the sleeve is a small instruction booklet and a key puller. Upon unpacking this keyboard the first thing that struck me was the weight, this is a solid keyboard that weighs significantly more than a normal standard keyboard. The second thing that struck me was the build quality. This really is a well-built unit. The included key puller is a handy tool for removing keys to allow cleaning etc. The keyboard base plate is matt black metal, it has a standard usb cable with a length of 1. Modern windows based pc’s (running vista / windows 7/8/10) don’t require any drivers for this device, it really is just plug and play. (i cannot say if this is the case for other devices like apple products / linux based devices etc but i suspect it is)the keys are mechanical.

The keyboard is amazing except one thing. The letters on the keys started dissapearing after just a few days. Not sure if my item was defective but it was easily resolved with the help of the weetop support team and for that i give them 5 stars overall.

The clickiness of the keys is very satisfying, and it has even survived an accidental fluid spill and it drained the liquid out of the drain ports at the bottom no problem. It even has some useful key functions. You can lock the windows key as well as fully lock all the keys. Verry useful for gaming, as well as for getting the key caps off without having to unplug it from your computer. The only downside is that it is the us layout, not the uk layout. But you can pick up the us layout rather quick, as the special characters are just mostly switched around in reverse. If you are looking for a character on the keyboard. Look for where it used to be, look at the character on the key, look at where that character was usually found and you will find the new home of the character you want.

Best mechanical keyboard for windows out there for a really low price. This is a brilliant mechanical keyboard for such a low price, the keyboard itself came in a brown box that’s exceedingly heavy, it’s made from high quality stainless steel with a black tint to it. The keys themselves are plastic but feel really nice on your fingers when typing and have little dips to accommodate this. In the box you get:- 1x mechanical keyboard- 1x keycap puller- 1x user manualthe keycap puller is extremely useful for removing keys from the keyboard (although they can be done easily with just your fingers) it makes it just that bit easier, in a nice red colour it’s hard to lose. The response from this keyboard is great, i’ve had no feedback lag and i haven’t experienced any issues yet after just a week of use. The function buttons at the top of the keyboard allow you to control things such as the audio, open applications such as your browsers, calculator, email and more. As in most keyboards there are three lights in the top right hand corner to indicate if the number lock, caps lock or scroll lock is on – these are very bright and stand out in all light settings when needed. As for the way this keyboard is put together, i’m very pleased – it’s a high build quality, but one slight let down for me is the fact there are two silver screws visible at the top corners of the keyboard on the front, although not a huge issue some might find it a bit off putting. Other than that, it’s a great keyboard. This keyboard goes well with the victsing range of mouses, they look great together.

I want to start off by saying i like this product, i’ve never used a mechanical keyboard before and really it good for its price. I’ve been using it for about a month now. It is rather compact, even with the number pad. The keyboard is rather heavy, which is a good thing, it has a really high quality feel to it. This thing is not moving, with the strong rubber feet and the heft of the keyboard. Things i like good response from the keys has a key pad (i need it to enter data) the fact that there is fn key the sound of the keysthings i don’t like no uk layout no led option (i like a simple white led, it would go with the simple look of this keyboard) wobbly keys (it’s not that bad, but. )if you have any questions i’ll try to answer them as best as i can.

Anti ghosting keys are working perfectly. Open notepad and push with your palm on the keyboard and see how it works it gets every button. Non slippery bottom with rubber. I play dota 2 with this and it is perfect gaming. (it might good with hard core gaming i am just playing dota2 )for this price dont miss it.

I was kindly sent this product at a discounted price in exchange for my review, which is my unbiased, honest opinion. When i first opened this keyboard, i was very surprised as to just how heavy this keyboard is. This not only stops the keyboard from moving around on your desk, but it adds a premium feel to the keyboard. Although it may not look like it in the promotional pictures, the base plate of this keyboard is made out of metal, this gives this keyboard a sturdy feel, and doesn’t have any gimmicky lights on it, which i feel take away from the typing experience on a mechanical keyboardit came well packaged within a little box within the amazon box. The keys are very easy to read, and are big enough for medium sized hands. They are very loud when pressed, and i personally love it. They are mechanical, so they have a very satisfyingly click to them. This can not be shown properly through a video, and you really have to use it to admire it. The only bad thing about it being so loud, is that it may not be the best for late at night.

Very happy with this purchase, absolute pleasure to type and game on. Keys are a joy and can be replaced with custom caps if you so please.

I really like this keyboard, i think it is great value for the price. It’s us layout which i don’t think is made clear in the description but that doesn’t really matter to me. Here are the specifications for the PICTEK Gaming Keyboard:

All round the best mechanical keyboard foe the money.

Excellent keyboard, keys are very comfortable and smooth. I’m a software developer and i’m using it in my working day, this is a good choice for programmers.

Amazing keybord for the price. It feels so good to type on.

I changed the keycaps and it looks awesome.

Great keyboard for the price. It’s fully mechanical and uses outemu blue key switches. A uk layout would have been preferable but for £27.

It’s ok, but the return key is too small and takes getting used to and the ctrl key on the far left can easily be pressed which messes up what your doing.

Reviews from purchasers :

I love this keyboard
Excellent Keyboard!
It aint no Razer but it’s a godsend after having to use a pcworld advent special which felt like sticking your fingr into old po

A good quality keyboard, very responsive for gaming and has a nice solid feel to it. Picked up easily by windows and was completely plug and play. As an avid user of both pc and mac systems, i am used to having the @ sign in two different places on a daily basis. It is worth bearing in mind if you purchase it that the @ sign is on the ‘2’ key just like a mac / us keyboard. Not a problem for me, but some users might find it a bit odd to get used to and you will need to change your keyboard layout in windows to make it work correctly. Receiving this item free for the purpose of review and this does not affect/bias my review of the product.

It has been a long time since i used one but this mechanical key board is very nice. It is a solid metal base that stays put and is great for gaming, very positive. Be aware it is a us keyboard but no problem to me, also it does sound quite loud (clicky loud), but i like that. So if you do not mind the weight or the clicky sound buy it.

Incredible purchase for the price. High quality for such a low price.

Typing this review on the keyboard right now. It is fantastic, even with the us layout. Full metal body with amazing build quality. The keys are just what i wanted, they are high quality cherry mx blues that are satisfying and easy to press although quite loud but this isn’t an issue for me at all. The keyboard is nice and heavy, it doesn’t slip while typing and it is pleasure to use. I would arguably say this beats many more expensive alternatives.

I bought this as i was looking for a mechanical keyboard, all i can see is that this is a very good mechanical keyboard and the blue switches seem that they are a good copy of cherry mx, i’ve used t in game and they seem great.

Got this as i had a blackwidow and due to children and bubble mixture, i now don’t have a blackwidow. For the price this is outstanding. It aint no razer but it’s a godsend after having to use a pcworld advent special which felt like sticking your fingr into old poo. Five stars for me even though there are a couple issues. No bezel or anything, just a flat peice of steel and you can kind of see the switches when looking at it from the sides. Not really bothered by this but some people might have an issue. A problem for all i suspect. As it’s a us layout you might consider changing pc language to use. The biggest problem with this is that if you don’t, there was no (for me) backslash key. The one above the ‘enter’ corresponded to ‘#’ until i changed it and there is no other backslash on the board unless you use an alt code. If i bought a 100 quid board and had these issues then i would have a different opinion.

Very good keyboard, and very fast delivery.

Good quality but there is a noticeable ringing sound from the springs but can be fixed with o rings.

Very good quality keyboard with very nice feeling cherry mx blue clones. Pros:- solid metal and plastic construction (amazing for the price, considering many other keyboards more than 3x the price *cough cough* razer *cough cough*- solid feeling cherry mx blue clones- minimal design and only a very small and inconspicuous logocons:- the keycaps can get a bit mucky after only a short time with the keyboard (see photo)- there is no uk layout option which is a con for a uk user like me (i solved this by creating a custom keyboard layout to use with the keyboard.

Good- clicky mechanical keyboard with a heavy solid basebad- the keyboard is configured for usa, so the ‘@’ is keyed by pressing shift-2, the ‘£’ sign is missing (it’s shift-3), etc. Apart from these annoying quirks, it works fine. Would probably not had bought it if i knew it was a us keyboard.

Excellent keyboard love the switches.

Nice solid construction – i did purchase an o-ring set which has made the key action even better and quieter, but still maintaining the precision action.

For a cheap entry level mechanical keyboard it is amazing. The keys feel really nice and are really nice to type on, and if you don’t like the style of the keyboard the caps are fully replaceable. Arrived in a rather underwhelming card bored box, with a very small instruction manual and a key cap replace tool, but it works plug and play so really no instruction is needed. It is a us layout, so be warned when using it in the uk. It works fine, and i used a keyboard layout tool on my pc so everything is in the right place. It looks really nice, with a small little logo above the arrow keys not being too intrusive. It has a nice feel to it and a nice typing experience. I would definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone who is looking to try out a mechanical key board, or who wants an nice feeling and looking keyboard for their desk.

Great quality for price easily the best available for this price, feels so good to type onupdate: after a few months of using this keyboard my w key has stoppedworking hopefully i can get a replacement because i’ve had no issues until no and i’ve kept it cleaned etc waiting on a response to my email and yes i copy and pasted all these damn w’supdate 2:contacted them and got a replacement free, still very happy with this keyboard after 4ish months of use best money for value.

This is a really good mechanical keyboard which i have enjoyed and throughly used for gaming as well as school work after receiving it for christmas. However, i have noticed that some of the letters have already started to fade and i fear that this may happen with the whole keyboard in the near future. If anybody has any ways to fix this or can offer me another solution (at the moment, i’m thinking of purchasing keyboard stickers or making my own with washi tape) i am open to suggestions. Otherwise a really good keyboard.
