The Thermaltake MEKA keyboard is well built. The inclusion of Cherry MX Black Switches give it a much improved feel when directly compared with a membrane board.

The compact design will appeal to people who have limited space on their desk. The inclusion of two USB ports and adjustable height feet will prove popular with gamers.

As a pure typing keyboard there are too many flaws for us to recommend it. The keyboard layout is unintuitive, it is missing a Windows Key and the keyboard functionality is very linear and non tactile, until the end of each key press. I wouldn't be happy using this is a general all round keyboard and would replace it immediately with either the Cherry MX3000 or DAS Professional Keyboard. For the gaming audience however it is a well built, durable compact design, easily portable to lan parties.

UK pricing is around £80.

• small physical size will suit desks with limited space.

• tough design.
• Cherry MX Black switches will last a long time.
• Two USB ports.

Cons:

• Not ideal for typing.
• key layout could be improved.

• no way to disable lighted keys.

Kitguru says: a well made keyboard which will appeal to gamers who don't want a full sized board to lug around.
