PowerPlay E-Blue Mechanical-Sense Gaming Keyboard reviews

After a while, I've realised that this keyboard is very similar to the razer ornata. They are both the same texture and are both mechanical(half membrane half mechanical) which than makes it a bargain. You should definitely get this if you are a budget gamer.

Exactly what I needed works well satisfying click

It's got a really solid feel…the heavy metal base means it stays in place well, and the action is great too. Quality keyboard for a good price.

These appear to be some kind of blue switches and are actually quite nice to game and type on. The lighting however is a bit disappointing. This is not adjustable RGB. It has a rainbow effect as pictured and is static. It looks nice and has a breathing or wave effect but the characters on the keys are not well illuminated. Aside from that, it is heavy, sturdy, great to game on and way cheaper than the competition. Maybe not an alternative to real Cherry MX Blue Keyboards, but at this price point it is definitely a better buy than its membrane keyboard competition.

Very easy to type and game with. Only thing is the RGB colours don't change, its as is. You can only change the strobe or brightness of the colour but not the colour order (if that's what you were hoping for). Overall for the price its really good.

Really happy with this keyboard. The backlighting is really pretty and isnt bulky so leaves lots of room on my desk. The font on the keys took a little getting used to at first, so maybe not the best for people that need to look at the characters to type, but after a while you get used to the font. Nice and stylish for a cheap keyboard.

When I was looking for mechanical keyboards that shipped to Australia, this came up as the cheapest option at $35. While it did not promise RGB, which is fine, the keyboard itself feels very nice and responsive and has the click-y feedback a blue switch would have. Aesthetically it looks nice as well with aluminum top and separated colours, the breathing effect isn't great and sometimes the space bar gets stuck. It is however ‘mechanical-sense’ meaning that it is ‘semi-mechanical’ where it uses a key layout similar to mechanical switches however it is membrane, which is disappointing.

I love my new keyboard. So clicky!!

The only problem I have with it is the keys on the bottom sides can be a bit sharp if you're not careful you might get a tiny poke on the Ctrl key if you're unlucky, though other than that the lights work well and it seems to have a metal plate under the keys to stop it from sliding, the font is a little bit out of the norm but that's not an issue, overall this is a really nice mid-tier gaming keyboard

This pretty much does what you would need it to.

I also got the mouse, both perform fine. Keys can be a little loud (according to other people-) but the sound eventually gets a little let snappy and loud as you use it.

But if you truly want to customize the RGB you need additional software which E-Blue no longer provides, while the stock RGB is fine it's separated into sections and you can't change it. Feels good, sounds good and is very sturdy. Would reccomend

This is a cheap keyboard that I think is pretty good value for the money. Mechanical switches are suitably mechanical, and are built into a metal keyboard base that gives the whole thing a nice heft.

At first I really liked the sound and colors of the keyboard. But once I winked my teeth into it I realized that the keys can occasionally unresponsive and you really have to push down yo get a response instead of just tapping. That didn't really bug me too much, but when the keyboard went into this weird mode in the middle of a competitive shooter game I was unimpressed. The lights started flashing and my character could only walk forward, this happened about 3 times before I stopped using the keyboard all together. I could move the mouse but the keyboard was stuffed. SO here I am scrambling around for a keyboard in the middle of the leviathan raid in destiny 2. I would not recommend this keyboard for competitive gamers. Overall I liked it at first but was disappointed when it started bugging out

Good quality, good sound and feel. Keys themselves can be a bit slow and very very, occasionally unresponsive. Overall great for the price Recommended

The keyboard itself has a really satisfying feel to the key-switches themselves. Layout is nice – Although, the caps have a “gamer-font” on them so if you're not too fond on that this keyboard isn't for you. As well as the RGB lighting not really coming through the key caps. They claim they are double shot injection molded, the build quality is nice, just not enough light comes through to make this a 10.

Switches are E-Blue's take on MX Blue's or something similar. Nice actuation weight.

I've had this keyboard for about 6 months now and while it feels fantastic to type on (similar to a mechanical keyboard), the keys break so easily and fall off. Then there's no way to firmly re-attach them. I currently am missing about 6 keys.

I really love this keyboard. Does its job for gaming so well and it definitely delivers in quality typing. My only want from this is tht I wished it had more customisation in terms of the lighting but that's not really needed haha!

Love this keyboard. RGB lights are static out of the box, you cannot change them. Great product for the price tag.

A thoroughly solid keyboard. The keys are those weird raised ones, but they're still easy to type on, and respond well. The lighting effects are also kinda neat.

The only downside is the clicky sounds more like a chiclet keyboard, it's kinda weird. I miss the satisfying tap of an old skool board.
