Havit Mechanical Keyboard HV KB378L Review

This is cheap for a mechanical keyboard and to be honest when I received this I did not expect it to this good. I was expecting a decent keyboard but the Havit really surpassed this. You would expect a budget keyboard to be flimsy, the Havit is definitely not. It has excellent build quality, is a very solid unit and even the wrist support is well made (which is where most budget keyboards suffer).

Some other reviewers have mentioned that this keyboard is loud, but it is a mechanical keyboard so that is a given. It has blue switches, now these are not Cherry switches but I have not been able to notice a difference. They are lovely and responsive while both typing and gaming and the keys have a nice amount of resistance.

The RGB lighting on this keyboard is amazing, there are countless possibilities. As this is a plug and play keyboard there is no option to save profiles, but the overall lighting definitely makes up for this. There are numerous modes with lots of little quirky lighting effects I haven’t ever seen on any keyboard before. Havit have been fresh and inventive with their lighting patters and customisation options and it is really refreshing to see.

This is a budget keyboard, but its performance is up there with the best of them. People often say once you try your first mechanical keyboard you can never go back to a regular one – well I would highly recommend this – it’s cheap and really a pleasure to use.
