ThunderX3 TK25 Membrane Gaming Keyboard Review

The ThunderX3 TK25 is a basic, entry-level gaming keyboard. It has the typical ‘gamer' style aesthetically and it does boast a decent amount of key customisation. However, these are things that we would expect from a keyboard aiming itself at gamers in the first place.

If you have used a standard, membrane keyboard before, then you know what to expect here. I am in a position where I have used many mechanical keyboards over the last few years, so switching back to membrane was difficult for me personally. Keys are harder to press and things definitely feel mushier while typing.

However, I can appreciate the fact that some people genuinely do prefer membrane keyboards and for those people, this keyboard should deliver perfectly fine. I will also admit that membrane switches are much, much quiter than any mechanical keyboard I have tried, so if noise is a concern, this would be the way to go.

There are some areas that things could be improved though. For starters, some lighting controls within the software itself would be a nice touch. That way, you could set up a different colour for each profile. This would also act as an easy way to tell which profile you are currently using.

I would have also preferred a smooth plastic finish on the key caps, rather than a rough texture. However, that is a personal nitpick, others may feel differently.

This is a solid entry-level gaming keyboard but it also needs a solid entry-level price to match. The ThunderX3 TK25 can be found for £29.99 on Box.co.uk. At this price, it is worth considering if you are in the market for an entry-level gaming keyboard, though I would be hesitant to go over that price tag.
