The Speedlink Ultor is a compact keyboard, so it also comes in compact packaging. On the front of the box, you will find a picture of the keyboard itself, along with a long list of supported software. The back of the box goes into a bit more detail on features in a number of languages.

The Speedlink Ultor immediately catches the eye thanks to the bright red aluminium body. As you can see, Speedlink as taken some inspiration from Corsair, opting for a frameless body, much like the K70 RGB keyboards.

I have grown quite fond of the frameless design myself as it makes cleaning the keyboard a much easier task.

 

This is a ten-keyless board too, so there is no standard Numpad on the end taking up additional space on the desk. All of the key caps are standard height and key spacing doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary either. The arrow keys and WASD have been given some additional flair, though.

 

Pulling off a keycap will reveal the Kailh Red switches underneath. These are linear switches, so they are quick to actuate and offer no tactile feedback. These are not as satisfying to type on but they do offer faster response times for gamers, on paper. The real-world difference will be negligible.

Unfortunately, you won't find a USB passthrough port on the back of this keyboard, though that is a fairly common sacrifice made when it comes to ten-keyless boards.
