Packaging and Accessories

Fantech has a relatively large box for this 65% keyboard, which was made all the more obvious next to the smaller packaging for a 75% keyboard that had arrived alongside. This is otherwise a box designed for retail purchases owing to all the Fantech stores in Asia, with the company logo, product name, and render of the lit up keyboard on front. Salient marketing features are found, too, as is the exact switch on this sample, and this continues on the back. There is a very subtle logo on the sides, but of more interest is the double flap that keeps the contents in place during transit. Opening the box, we see the keyboard inside a plastic wrap that keeps it free of dust, as well as cardboard packaging all around for further protection.


A lot of accessories are packed in, including some paperwork under the keyboard, with the rest in a separate compartment at the top, including a welcome note from the Fantech founder and CEO Fandy P., warranty card, and multi-language user manual (online copy here) that is worth going through for the various pre-programmed functions. It also acts as an actual guide and walks you through removing and swapping keycaps and switches, as well as using the keyboard in either wireless connection mode. Fantech also includes the 2.4 GHz USB dongle and handy two-in-one metal wire-style keycap puller and switch remover.


Rounding off the accessories is a detachable black USB Type-A to Type-C cable to match the keyboard, as well as two sets of replacement keycaps. The first is a macOS set for the bottom row in the same gray color scheme as the stock keycaps, and the second set a light orange color for the space bar, Esc, and Enter keys. These are PBT plastic keycaps with dye-sublimed legends, and we will examine them further later on in this review.
