User experience and functionality
Visually and haptically, we had already evaluated the keyboard. But how does it write and play on it? If you are used to a full-size keyboard, you will have to get used to hand-setting first, no question. You don't miss a palm print, on the contrary. Whether set up by means of the swivel lingable feet or not, the buttons are all easily and safely accessible.
Even the flat keycaps are not something to criticize. You don't slip off and the side guidance is actually sufficient. You have also quickly got used to the shorter stroke and the much more likely feedback through the button and even the blue buttons are not really loud at the fullest writing euphoria.
What could perhaps be improved would be an increase in the angle of attack by a few degrees. Otherwise, the almost borderless keyboard makes a consistently good figure, even if the blue LEDs really won't be everyone's taste. We would have preferred white LEDs in any case. But perhaps Sharkoon still has mercy and at some point understands that blue light just annoys you, because you perceive it in a way that you don't really find it pleasant. Learning process and so…
The built-in lighting effects are selected and stored on the keyboard, so you don't need any additional software, which we also liked. Above all, the intensity should be taken back a little, the rest is a matter of taste and probably also a question of age.
Summary and conclusion
For just under 67 euros, you get a fully-fledged and above all well thought-out and full-fledged mechanical keyboard. The Kailh buttons used, which are currently only found in Sharkoon, make almost everything better than the Cherry ML, which at the time was inclined to bend. So if you can and want to do without frills, but are looking for a timeless and space-saving keyboard, you can access it almost without hesitation. It is hard to get such a TKL much better.
