3 ounces (1200g) Colors: Cyber01 (black and green) Take a look at MelGeek’s website and you’ll be struck by the outlandish keyboard designs. There’s a ‘wasteland’ themed keyboard which has “THIS IS PLASTIC” plastered across the spacebar, and they’ve even got a Lego style keyboard — you can actually stick Lego figurines onto it. Then there’s the CYBER01 magnetic switch rapid trigger gaming keyboard, in a black and green colorway, which might catch your eye, although not necessarily for the right reasons.
The CYBER01 doesn’t have traditional mechanical switches. Instead, it has magnetic switches which, as MelGeek says, ensure significantly faster response times and can last longer. This is an excellent gaming keyboard that comes in clutch when you most need it.
It’s comfy to use, and has a user-friendly companion software that makes remapping keys and customizing RGB lighting a breeze. But its companion software feels unpolished, leaving a lot to be desired. The keyboard also doesn’t have any feet so you can’t adjust its height.
I’m also not sold on its design. Whether the CYBER01 is one of the best gaming keyboards for you is the all important question. For the full breakdown, read my full MelGeek CYBER01 revi.
