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.
- adjustable height.
- tough design.
- Cherry MX Black switches will last a long time.
- Two USB ports.
Cons:
- Not ideal for typing.
- key layout could be improved.
- missing windows key.
- 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.
£80? wow thats a lot of cash for a mini keyboard design. think id rather go for the razor one, even if it is a little extra.
Its overpriced for what it is, sorry.
Well at least someone agrees with me. MX black cherry switches are the worst feel in their whole range,
Shame it has lost all the audio connectors etc.
I like it.
However I wouldnt buy it.
This is for a clan member who wants a small, capable gaming board.
For £80 I want something full size. the latest razer with blue switches seems the best typing keyboard. or DAS.

Too expensive, pointless red LEDs, right shift is tiny, lack separate Ins, Home, PgUp/PgDn,End block. Working for ages on SFF keyboards. This one have a lot of design flaws. And price is completely prohibitive for what it is.
A bit expensive for what it is, but I don’t understand these guys saying MX Cherry Blacks are terrible? They’re soooooo smooth.
