HP GK400F Mechanical Gaming Keyboard,dust & Spill Resistant,RGB Backlit Keys,Metal Panel,Full-Sized Keyboard Design

its great but need to get accustomed to the layout/ meanwhile there is no option for completely turning off the led lights. this seems to be an annoyance in making since the power consumed by the keyboard with leds nurning would affect the battery life of the laptop.

the key travel feels comfortable and gives a pleasant feel of pressing something unlike the recent chicklet design that often gives you a feel of not want to type anymore. for a person who has a work that has to deal with the documents creation and publishing them, this feels real good for making the decision to buy this piece of keyboard/

even though the keybiard layout is little bit of mess in the start as the position of some keys getting changed from an average 14″ laptop keyboard, and the muscle memory of typing in that piece of chicklet design for over 2 years now, this feels a sort of discomfort in the start. But for a person coming from a regular full sized (108 Key) style keyboard it defenitely offers a great experience during the keyboard usage.
is this keyboard worth the money? YES. Defenitely a worthy buy. the long-term experience will vary witht the life span of the keys. the keys used here are outemu based blue switches. the feel of key press good. not sure about the key sound as it is my first encounter with the mechanical keyboard, i personally couldn’t have an immediate review. but the feel it creates while typing is nice personally.

will i recommend it for others> it depends on the person who is into creating more documents and creates them by having a permannent place for work, yes i would. i would not recommend it for people who often switch their work environments and travel, because the keyboard feels bit heavier. understand, the keyboard is mechanical. so every switches add more weight to it comparing an ordinary membrane keyboard. size of the keyboard falls on larger side, which makes it good for people who are doing either work from home or permanently work from office. for the people who shuffle between the two finds it difficult to carry it daily and would obviuosly afect the typing experience and your muscle memory as it has key layouts different from regular laptop chicklet keyboards.

It’s an amazing deal if you are getting it under 1500. The keyboard is sturdy and waterproof. It’ll give an amazing feel during fast typing and coding.

I previously used the Ant Esport MK1000, and while the keyboard itself performed well, it was far from being value for money considering the features it offered. The real disappointment came with the warranty support—it was terrible. The staff were unhelpful, rude, and lethargic, taking an entire month to repair my product, and even then, the repair was poorly done. I had to escalate the issue by contacting the main manager to finally get the product replaced, which was the only positive outcome. Unfortunately, after a few months, I accidentally spilled coffee on it, causing half the keyboard to stop working—a fault that was entirely mine.

Now, I’ve moved on to the HP GK320, which came highly recommended by a friend, and I must say, after using it for a week, I’m thoroughly impressed. The typing experience is a pleasure, thanks to the entire keyboard being pre-lubed, resulting in a soft key press. Though it took me a little time to adjust, it has made typing more comfortable and effortless.

One minor drawback is the lack of specific key printing for functions like volume control, but compared to my previous experience, this is hardly a dealbreaker. The keyboard also comes with a 3-year warranty, and my friend had no issues with getting his replaced recently—unlike my previous ordeal with Ant Esport. This was one of the main reasons I decided to switch to the HP GK320.

Advantages:
The entire keyboard comes pre-lubed, enhancing the typing feel.
Soft key press for a quieter, more comfortable typing experience.
Effortless and comfortable typing overall.
Sturdy spacebar for durability.
Nice LED variety for customization.
The keyboard has a permanently attached faceplate for added stability.
It comes with a 3-year warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind.

Disadvantages:
The soft key typing can cause minor errors until you get used to it.
There’s a small amount of flex in the build.
It’s a bit bulky and takes up a lot of desk space.
It lacks a braided cable for durability.
Overall, the HP GK320 offers fantastic value for money, especially with the included warranty and excellent customer service. A thoughtful touch is the Velcro strap for easy cable management, making it even more convenient for laptop users.
