    I think the TKL (ten key less) trend is starting. Especially now that brands like Cooler Master and Razer are producing mainstream mech keyboards of this type.

    I have to admit, if your not in need of the numberpad, or just are ok with using an external one via usb for the times you do need it, the extra space is very very nice to have.

    Today I wanted to review an underdog product, one of the China clones its just like the PLU or Filco and built extremely well. Infact the build quality puts my much more expensive Razer Blackwidow to pure shame, and to boot it cost way less and has more mechanical switch choices.

    I tried to keep this review short and sweet, so if I didnt cover anything you would like to know be sure to ask and I will be happy to answer.
