It is clear that Enermax are trying to appeal to a different market with the Briskie than they are with their other product ranges. The understated appearance of the Briskie keyboard may not appeal to enthusiasts or gamers but is perfect for home or office environments. Enermax has chosen to finish the keyboard exclusively in matte-black which is sure to appeal to a wide range of users.
Considering all the quality products we've reviewed from Enermax in the past, we were expecting the build quality of the Briskie keyboard to be quite reasonable. While we wouldn't say that the build quality of the keyboard is bad, we were slightly disappointed. There is some flex in the keyboard when pressure is applied in the centre and the overall construction feels a little flimsy.
Enermax have chosen to use a low profile design for the Briskie keyboard which makes it feel quite similar to a laptop keyboard. It also features very wide, flat keys which make it feel quite different to use from a traditional keyboard. The keyboard uses membrane switches which are rated for 10 million keystrokes.
On the underside of the keyboard there are a series of rubber feet which prevent the keyboard from slipping around the desk when it's in use. There is also a small battery compartment where we must install one AAA battery for the keyboard to function. This isn't rechargeable so it must be replaced when it runs out.
The keyboard connects to your computer using a tiny 2.4 GHz wireless USB receiver. This is very small so it is ideal to use with a laptop on the move. When the the keyboard and mouse aren't in use, you can store the USB receiver in the base of the mouse.
Yeah ive seen reviews on other sites, its such a dull product.
I understand its a budget product, but it does their name no good whatsoever and I cant imagine their profit margins are high at all. if they are selling it for £16. they are making it for under £5. For a mouse and keyboard? the quality will never be good.
Weirdest move ive seen them make in their history.
Wish I had read this review before I bought it. Got it for £18 in UK and I think its terrible. Not sure what I was thinking for the price, but I wouldnt recommend the product at all. My space bar is also sticking already, in the space of two weeks. will probably just bin it.
Looks nice for the money, but they cant budget anything into the quality of the product at this price. id reckon some cheap chinese knockoff are building these for $5. How can you create a good keyboard and mouse at that price? Why not create something half decent for £35? whats the point of this? bet the keyboard switches wont last either.
