Machenike K600 Mechanical Keyboard

Today we are going to look at a mechanical keyboard with an interesting backlight and two types of connection (wired or Bluetooth).The design uses loud blue switches (mechanical switches).

In this lot you can choose between two models: “ALPHA” with blue switches and “CHARLIE” with red switches. They differ also by color of caps of letter keys white/black.
The keyboard comes to the user in a cardboard box in the manufacturer’s colors:

K600 keyboard, USB Type C cable, a couple of manuals in Chinese and a staple for removing the keys.

Good quality cable with EMI filter, the excess can be shortened with a cable tie with Velcro:

Let’s move on to the heroine of the review, the K600 keyboard:

There are only 100 keys and arranged not quite the classic way – I miss the PrintScreen.
Due to the fact that the block of 6 keys, which are usually above the arrows, is scattered here – it takes time to get used to the keyboard.
The weight of the device: 780 g.

The back part.

In addition to the feet, there are four rubber stickers.

The feet are 2 pcs. in three positions (5-8-11 degrees of inclination).

Between the key blocks there are 4 small indicators.

The type of keyboard connection is selected by a switch.

Internal battery is charged by cable, its capacity suffices for 10-12 days of work – tested.

And the connection via Bluetooth is possible to three different devices (Fn+1/2/3).

Compatible with smartphone, both by wire and without.

Since I used the keyboard for a couple of weeks, I had to modify it.

Stickers are a tried and tested topic, I had them on a membrane MIIIW.

The blue switches give a distinct and loud click. Pressing force, measured with a stack of coins, showed 62 grams.

It looks very impressive in the dark, and if you get bored, you can turn it off altogether.

Pros:

• Multivariant backlighting
• Clear response
• Two variants of connection

Cons:

• High price
• No proprietary software
