HAVIT HV-KB366L, Mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting



Rating: 5/5


Build Quality: 
The built quality of the keyboard it top notch.
The whole keyboard is made out of aluminum which makes it durable and quite heavy (1.3 KG).
The top panel has a matte/textured finish, while the sides and the back side is anodized back.
There are two spring-loaded feet which provide an elevation angle of around 4 degrees.
Four rubber pads keep the keyboard from slipping, while the 2-meter long braided cable is a great addition to the overall build quality.

Key switches:
As it is expected, the keyboard uses the Blue Otemu switches, which are considered as clones of the Cherry MxBlue switches.
The feedback from the keys is tactile and the click is loud. As a matter of fact, this keyboard is louder than any other Blue Otemu keyboard I have ever used before. I believe that the loudness of keyboard is the result between the thin keycaps that are used as well as its all metal construction.
I myself find the clickiness of the keyboard satisfying, but others you might get annoyed by the constant noise generated.
Lastly, the keycaps are double shot, meaning that the lettering is not printed on them but rather injected as a different layer to the mold of the keycap and as a result they should never fade.

Features: 
The keyboard supports both 6-key Rollover and N-Key Rollover modes and in order to make gaming even more comfortable, the window key can be locked by the user.
I tested the keyboard both on Windows and Linux. No additional drivers were needed to get the keyboardfully working.

Lighting:
All the keys are RGB backlit. There are 7 different lighting modes that the user can select.
The user can also adjust the brightness intensity (4 levels) and the speed of the different effect.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer hasn't provided any software that allows the user to create custom modes or control the existing ones.
