EvoFox Fireblade TKL Semi-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Rainbow Backlit& Breathing Effect, Floating Keycaps, 19 Anti-Ghosting & 12 Multimedia Keys, Windows Lock Key, Braided Cable (Black)

I have bought a new laptop and started feeling that the in-built keyboard might start to malfunction if I use too much (majorly because of gaming and typing keystrokes). I shortlisted two keyboards for my needs.1. HP K500 Gaming Keyboard (which was priced a bit more above than Rs. 1000, but was quite affordable);2. The Amkette EvoFox FireBlade Gaming Keyboard.I decided to go with the Amkette EvoFox FireBlade as I had bad experiences with HP products in the past (I have a 2nd laptop which is from HP and has keyboard and GPU issues; I got a HP mice and it died within 6 months of usage; and then there are more HP products I've used in the past which had given me pain).I got this keyboard and have been using it for quite a while now, and it is excellent for me at the price I got it for. The keyboard would be an excellent choice for people of both the worlds i.e., for someone who needs it for typing or for someone who needs a gaming keyboard to get started with in the gaming world. For a gaming mice to begin with, you can go for the Logitech G102 Light Sync. Back to the keyboard - The keys are really sturdy. The USB port is very well built. The braided cable (alongwith a magnetic ring) is fantastic too. The keys give an excellent tactile feedback while typing and gaming (as I type and game a lot). It is a TKL keyboard which results in a compact form-factor. You can bring up and down the brightness of backlighting of the keyboard with the Fn + Page Up or Page Down keys. There are shortcuts for multimedia (which is the least used feature for me).I assume it would survive a nuclear disaster or a zombie apocalypse someday (LOL, the keyboard is really good, to be honest). I remember, I accidentally poured a full glass of water and it survived and still works as brand new (LOL, seriously).What could've been a bit better:1. The backlighting. Don't get me wrong, backlighting is bright enough and lights up every key (but don't expect LEDs under each key) but the keyboard has only one mode of backlighting (breathing mode) which is kinda boring and might feel a bit cheap. And then, the right arrow key's backlighting is a bit lower than all the keys' but I am fine with it because of the pricing of the keyboard.2. Now, I would be really nitpicking here considering the price is really cheap but, the keycap of the spacebar is removable and scares me a lot, i.e., I fear it would come off some day if I stress it too much by typing or doing gaming (but thankfully and luckily, still hasn't come off. LOL)Overall feeedback :For someone who is looking to buy a gaming keyboard under Rs. 1000, this is certainly a better buy. The performance and features it offers surpasses over the things that are needed to be improved. For me, it is a 4.5-star rated keyboard out of 5-stars (0.5 star deducted for the improvements this product needs).

Ok so this is a review after 3 years of usage.1. It was a great keyboard it has a really good mechanical feel.2. Really good anti-ghosting keys and good response time.But there are a few downsides here:1. The build Quality is ok ok for the price it's all plastic.2. The shift and enter buttons lack stabilisers which result in key rattling3. Quality Control issues. My keyboard's shift button stopped working after 3 years and now I'll have to replace the keyboard.

Rating: ★★★★★I've been using the EvoFox Keyboard and Mouse Combo for a while now, and I'm genuinely impressed! Even though it's not a true mechanical keyboard, it delivers a satisfying mechanical feel with every keystroke. The keys are responsive, tactile, and great for both gaming and typing. The build quality feels premium, and the RGB lighting adds a stylish touch without being too flashy. The mouse is equally impressive—smooth tracking and comfortable to use for long sessions. Overall, this combo offers fantastic value for the price. Highly recommended.

This keyboard is the best keyboard I have ever used in my life. It is the most budget friendly mechanical keyboard. I recommend this keyboard to all the gamers and keyboard lover out there.

Decent Keyboard. 7/10Value for money.(I tried to Tea B@g an enemy in-game and I realised the keys dont register if you press too quickly.)

Waste product, don't even buy this. In between usage the keyboard will not work, then we need to unplug and then plug again to work. For cheap price this is what you get.

The item advertices semi-mechanical type, and I don't have idea how is it. The keys are normal like membrane keyboard and just makes the typing sound loud and kinda weird. My typing speed is 60 WPM and I feel annoyed with space key sound. It just has weited loud sound not mechanical or semi-mechanical keys. Rest all looks good and I liked because of TKL.

Impressive Keyboard with Key FeaturesEMI / RFI Noise Suppression:- Genuine ferrite bead to suppress RFI and EMI noise.Typing Experience:- Despite being a membrane keyboard, it offers a slight mechanical feel, which is a plus for me.- The keyboard is a bit noisy, especially the space bar, which makes a slight screeching noise.Design:- Floating key design for an enhanced typing experience.Linux Compatibility:- Works flawlessly on Linux (tested on kernel 6.8.8).- Detected as "Bus 003 Device 021: ID 1a2c:4c5e China Resource Semico Co., Ltd USB Keyboard" in LSUSB.Lighting:- LEDs can be static or breathing; no moving rainbow effect or gradients.- Fixed LED colors with no memory for brightness or effects.- Brightness adjusted with FN + PG_UP or FN + PG_DOWN resets after removing the keyboard or restarting the PC.Wire:- Thin with a nylon mesh, potentially more resistance and more ohmic losses.- Genuine ferrite bead ensures better noise filtering capability.Overall, it's an impressive keyboard that works really well under Linux. The wire is a bit thin with a nylon mesh, but I don't mind as long as it has a genuine ferrite bead!
