However, it’s just not a good gaming keyboard. It’s ok for typing, if you don’t mind that constant annoyance of the wobble and the squeaks and experiencing wrist fatigue within an hour of using it. I’m not saying throw a wad of cash on the table for a premium gaming keyboard, especially if you’re not a collector like me, but the Yindiao K500 Luminous is proof that a bargain-basement keyboard is not the best route, especially if you take your gaming seriously. Save your money for a better option is my recommendation here. It certainly pales in comparison to the original, not just in build but also in speed and comfort. And I honestly wouldn’t count on its build to last all that long when you’re button-mashing. While Yindiao makes no mention of its polling rate, I’m pretty sure it’s not ideal for fast-paced, especially considering that you do have to bottom out every key for presses to register. It’s also not really the fastest keyboard either. And don’t even get me started on the spacebar, which makes a squeaking noise every time you press it – and I mean every single time! Like a little mouse getting tortured. Speaking of typing, the keys are wobbly, so wobbly that every single key makes a sound at the slightest touch. I immediately experienced wrist and hand fatigue within 30 minutes of using it, which may be ok for a lot of people but is definitely not if you’re in the know. Combine that with the fact that it has a deep actuation (you do have to bottom out the keys for responses), and the experience is really not all that comfortable. But, seeing as it is a wired keyboard, that’s kind of the bare minimum you can expect really – although it does experience a bit of lag when you first plug it in or when you’re waking it.īecause it is a membrane keyboard, you’re getting squishy keys. What did you expect? Yindiao K500 Luminous: PerformanceĪdmittedly, the Yindiao K500 delivers good performance, and by that, I mean you can type with it all day long and not experience any issues or delays. And, like the original Razer, it has three light indicators at the top right corner to indicate power, Caps Lock, and backlighting (which is unnecessary because you don’t really need an indicator to let you know whether that backlight is on or off).īut that’s pretty much it. It is a USB wired keyboard so it’s essentially a plug-and-play.
