Erasem EK1001-SL Silent Mechanical Keyboard (Silent Linear Switches)

Very silent, still have to get used to it , but so far so good. RGB is also nice and very customizable. Overall I am happy with the keyboard.

The media could not be loaded.  I will start of with a couple of things re this keyboard. Firstly, the downloadable software that comes with it. When I went to install it on my PC both Norton Security and Windows Defender flagged up warnings about it. Given I have a lot of very important stuff on my PC, I decided against installing it. This does not mean it is not safe, juts I am not prepared to risk it. The second thing it that these switches/keys are far from silent and the clunking noise the space bar makes is quite annoying to say the least. The backspace key is even worse. I do have a quite expensive Logitech keyboard for everyday use and those keys are silent but then these are mechanical by their nature.One of the first things I noticed about this keyboard was the weight, it is certainly no lightweight and is quite beefy. On the underside there are a couple of pop-out feet if you prefer your keyboard angled.You get plenty of colour choices and colour modes, making it quite interesting to use. You have the usual static colour choices at one end and at the other, things like raindrop and a myriad in between. You are certainly not spoilt for choice. There is also an LED band than runs around the bottom edge of the keyboard. You can also switch between bright and more pastel colours.Despite the annoying noise from the keys, the backspace one is driving me spare, it is pleasant enough to use and quite accurate.As with many gaming keyboards, there is the option to customise, set up macros and tailor it to specific games e.g., CoD. This is most probably best done using the software, should your device to go ahead and install it. You also get a wheel on the left-hand side, which can control brightness and volume +/-. Being a full-sized keyboard, you get a full-array of function keys and a separate number pad.Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and weight of this keyboard. It is just a shame it is let down by the keystroke noises, specifically the spacebar and backspace ones.I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading.NB. For a sizing guide, squares in photos are 1cm.Nice keyboard but not silent. Backspace button is quite annoyingI will start of with a couple of things re this keyboard.

Firstly this looks and feels like a really well made high quality keyboard. It's pretty heavy - solid enough to hurt someone if thrown. It's also attractive - there is lighting around the base of the keyboard - and of course the lighting itself for the keys. Strangely the one key I find a little loose and clacky (and which I use all too often) is the Backspace key. Generally keys operate quietly and have a good feel and depth to the keystrokes. Definite but not as heavy in use as some mechanical keyboards.The key lighting is quite subtle - but it's clear and looks good. The left side control wheel can be used to raise or lower volume or to increase/decrease lighting level. It works fine.One thing - as a pretty clumsy typist - I find irritating is the enter key which is wide and one key high - I prefer a more vertical "higher" key (though this is probably as much because it's what I'm used to). The other negative is that the keyboard is a U.S. layout. Weirdly not such a problem if you run it as a UK keyboard and remember that the @ symbol above the two will actually give double quote (and vice versa) and the back slash key above the enter key a hash #. All too often I'm getting a hash due to mis-hitting the enter key.Use of the Function (Fn) key gives access to a host of short cuts (media controls, explorer, calculator etc.) - Fn and a range other keys allow selection of different lighting modes - and colours. I am very happy with the associated functionality. The provided instructions give all of the information you are likely to need - and it's nice not to have to be downloading and installing software to go with it.So - it's actually a really nice, solid and well made keyboard - which feels like it. I have yet to fully investigate some of the associated functionality. If it was UK layout (there may be a version) it would be five stars.
