65% FORM FACTOREvolution of keyboards for increased desk space. The numpad, and part of the home cluster has been removed. No functionality is lost because all inputs are easily accessible through the secondary FN function layer and shortcuts |
SUPERIOR BUILDSolid Aluminium metal build whilst weighing a featherlight 14.8 oz equals durability and portability. USB-C port is the new modern standard. Positioned in the top-left, it will never obstruct your mouse movements. |
IMMERSIVE RGB LIGHTING16.8 million colours to choose from. Customisable in OP software, and saved directly to on-board storage. Custom FNATIC-designed keycap profile expels more lighting out of the side of the switch, and spreads it across the whole keyboard to brighten your desk set-up. |

THE ULTIMATE ESPORTS KEYBOARDOur custom-moulded stabilisers come pre-lubricated, reducing rattle and inconsistencies, improving keyboard acoustics. Illuminate the whole space bar with two extra LEDs flanking either side of the switch. |
LOW PROFILE KEYCAPSThe low profile FNATIC switch is 35% lower than traditional mechanical switches. The height of the keys is reduced, allowing for a healthier, more natural wrist position, even without the use of a wrist-rest. |
LINEAR AND SILENTLinear travel paired with a perfectly weighted 1.5 oz spring and a balanced circular stem. The switch is smooth and quiet without the need for any dampeners. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I also went down a rabbit hole with mechanical keyboards and modding them. In the week I have owned the Silent Red miniStreak, I have added foam to the inside of the bottom plate, lubed the switches and stabilizers, added foam to the spacebar, and added a set of the Glorious PBT keycaps.
I have never used a truly premium custom board, but I imagine this is a taste of what that is like. If you are thinking about getting one of these, I would snap one up now. Best Buy also has a few left for around $75. At that price, you are getting a great feeling keyboard, relatively small, and very durable.
Last point, my old MX Brown is still kicking. I gave it a really thorough deep clean, performed the same mods, did a function test and put it in the closet as a backup. I really really hope Fnatic gets back in the peripheral game with some vigor. It seems like they make great gear when they put their mind to it. Fnatic Clutch 3 Ultralight mouse would be top on my list lol.
Update 3/16/2021: I have been using this keyboard since May 2019. Since March 2020, I have been using this keyboard all day long for work, and lot of times in the evening for gaming. It has not skipped a beat, never lost programming, no dead keys. It still works like its brand new. I also have it hooked up to a KVM switch to go between my work laptop and my gaming PC. It never hiccups when I switch it over and it has probably been switched at least 500 times in the last year. I think I am going to keep using it until something breaks just to see if/when that happens. Side note: I do clean it with an air compressor and alcohol wipes about once every six months.
Let me start by saying that I love this keyboard. This is my second TKL keyboard (I also have a Cooler Master CK530 w/ Gateron Reds). This is probably my 10th mechanical keyboard as well. So I have used quite a few over the years and I have a pretty good idea of what I like and don't like.
I am just going to hit a few bullet points on what I really liked and add a little tip at the end:
Pros:
+Great software! It is really easy to use and doesn't need to run all the time. Setting up my lighting scheme was easy, and it was easy to setup different profiles as well. You can easily switch profiles on the keyboard too.
+Removable cable. Very handy to have. I can move the entire keyboard out of the way quickly and easily if I want to use my entire desk. Alternatively, you could get a second USB-C cable and easily travel with it.
+Low profile body. This makes for a very comfortable keyboard. I didn't think it would matter at first, but it really is a game changer for me.
+Very compact. It's a TKL keyboard, so it is already freeing up some extra space for your mouse. However, it doesn't have any extra fluff around the edges, so you get just that much more space for your mouse.
+Amazing stabilizers. Any stabilized key, especially the spacebar, are a joy to use. This is another thing that I noticed early, but didn't put much thought into. Now, I really don't want to use a mechanical keyboard that doesn't have this level of stabilization.
Cons:
-Caps lock indicator is kinda hard to see. Maybe move it up a few millimeters?
-Doesn't seem like there is a way to dim the keyboard other than going into gaming mode. Maybe this can be fixed with a software update?
-While there are media keys when using the FN button, I would really love to see a dedicated volume up/down key.
-I couldn't find a comfortable position to use the wrist rest. It isn't really necessary anyway, and your mileage may vary.
Pretty good right? I think so, easily the best keyboard I have bought since the original Logitech G710+. Next time I feel like I need a full size keyboard, I am just getting the bigger version of this.
I would suggest you shop around though. Certain other blue and yellow stores have this keyboard for $90 at their regular price (or less if you go open box). Just something to keep in mind.

This average star-rating for this listing is meaningless, because the the reviews for different products are all mixed together.
The very least you could expect from a list of customer reviews is that they're for the product that they're listed with.
And even if reviews for different products are all mixed together...
Maybe there could be a "filter" option where the user could select the product of interest?
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
Buyer beware: Pay attention to what product the reviews are for. Apparently the job of determining relevance has been out-sourced to you.
***Update***
I took it upon myself to remove the cable and splice the passthrough port directly to the board connector.
Now I can use any USB cable I want.
(See attached photos of my modification.)
***End Update***
I have the brown switches, because they come recommended for work/general-typing usage cases. I don't game anymore, so I can't give any input on that application.
The build quality of this keyboard is excellent; and in my opinion, the price is justified.
It's durable, 100% responsive, and visually remarkable.
Having a built in scroll wheel that defaults as a volume control is awesome. I find it so useful, that I'm of the opinion that this should be a standard feature in all keyboards.
There is only one thing that I don't adore about this keyboard: The cord.
In fact, I detest it.
There's nothing wrong with it per se, it's just that it's obnoxiously bulky.
It's completely over-engineered for me. I acknowledge that it's enormous size and industrial-strength build may be exactly what others are looking for.
For instance, it probably holds up well in gaming scenarios where emotions run high and the equipment may be subject to extreme physical forces. (E.g. Rage-quit tantrums)
But for me, it's just a ridiculous albatross attached to the the neck of an otherwise sleek and efficient HID.
The fact that I still use this keyboard exclusively is a testament to its quality.
(I'd never tolerate the insanity of the cord in anything less than fantastic.)

Die einzigen mängel die für mich diese Tastatur von der 5 sterne bewertung zurückhalten sind die Härte der Tasten und die Verarbeitung der PBT Tastenkappen.
Am anfang waren die schalter für mich etwas zu hart was dafür gesorgt hat dass ich nach längerem spielen etwas finger schmerzen hatte. Jedoch nach einer bestimmten nutzungsphase von einer woche sind die Tasten dann etwas lockerer geworden was dann für ein angenehmeres spielerlebnis gesorgt hat.
Die zweite sache ist dass die pbt Tastenkappen sehr gut verarbeitet sind aber jedoch an der oberfläche etwas rau. Ich bevorzuge glatte Tasten die sich wirklich fein an der hand anfühlen und hier hatte ich das gefühl als ob ich eine leichte raue oberfläche an den fingerspitzen fühle.
Die mängel die ich aufgezählt habe ist wirklich nur meckern auf hohem niveau und jeder der eine esports tüchtige oder einfach eine schnelle und zuverlässige Tastatur sucht ist hier genau richtig.
Meine Vorschläge um die Taststur zu verbessen an das Fnatic Team wären falls sie das lesen:
Die Tastenkappen aus dem selben Material herzustellen worauf das alulinium oder Metall brett basiert was an der oberseite der Tastatur verbaut ist weil diese metall fläche war extrem geschmeidig und dieses Material hätte ich mir wenns geht auch für die Tastenkappen gewünscht also glatte tastenkappen.
Zweitens würde ich die Tastenanschläge etwas geschmeidiger machen. Das würde für eine leichtere eingewöhnungsphase sorgen und man hätte auf dauer dann keine leichten fingerschmerzen am anfang.
Was ich mir wünschen würde:
Die Tastatur in schwarz mit DE Layout und 100% Layout.
Das würde ich extrem feiern und dafür gäbe es dann sofort eine 5 sterne bewertung für mich persönlich.
Fazit
Team Fnatic ist aufjedenfall auf dem richtigen weg und wenn die kleinen mankos die ich aufgezählt habe beseitigt werden würden,
würde ich zum zocken keine andere Tastatur kaufen 👍
Qualità, robustezza e feedback dei tasti tra i migliori provati (in questa fascia di prezzo).
