10 Comments on Thermaltake Introduces the W1 WIRELESS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Thermaltake has been an "inspired" company for some years now.
That's why they have "take" in their name
They even copied logitech's g613 disadvantages, for example the non-removable wrist wrest :D
I'd still buy it though. I wonder whether windows hello could support a wireless keyboard such as this if it had an integrated fingerprint reader (whether the relevant data can be sent wirelessly). I would buy that in an instant.
Keychron K8 would be good alternative, but its TKL and I need numpad keys. G915 GL tactile feels good, but I wouldn't pay that much for gamer garbage feature I don't need.
