CMKB Profile: Velocifire TKL78

Velocifire TKL78

Velocifire TKL78 is an unique layout in that it's actually a "60% w/ arrows + function keys" rather than a "compact TKL", but due to similar number of keys it is regarded as a 75%.  You can clearly see that it has arrow keys in the lower right, but the right shift key had been shrank down to 1U and seems to be in an odd place. But otherwise, the layout is fairly standard.

Before You Buy

The small right shift key may be problematic for some typists.

    I bought one of these with "brown" switches as a gift for my downstairs neighbor. He likes it and has zero problems. Before I gifted it, I did open it and test all the switches and LEDs. No problems, all lights work, no chatter, no dead switches.

    The board had minimal torsional twist trying to twist it by hand. The light modes are a little goofy with on, breathing, and a few full row scrolling modes. Ascetically it looks okay, the space between Row 1 and the Function row makes it look a little goofy. The cable is braided which is a nice touch, but non removable as is expected in this price range. The switches are a bit mushy for me, but I am a Blue / Green / Clear switch fan. These have very minimal tactile feedback, but there is something there if you are a lighter typist.

    Overall for the price it makes a good back up board or starter board. I paid 28.99 for this board, and wouldn't pay more than 35 - 40 for it.

Resource: Visual Guide to Mechanical Keyboards by Size

Mechanical keyboards come in all sorts of sizes and shapes. Here we'll go over them by size: Full-size  (about 17.4 inches) 96 / TK (about 15 inches) TKL (about 14 inches) 75% (about 12.5 inches) 65% (12-14 inches) 60% (11.5 inches) Mini (varies) Please note that dimensions are approximate only, depends on bezel size, gap size between key groups, as well as whether there are additional key groups like macro keys.  Full-size ( recommendations ) A full-size keyboard is the 104 key keyboard that has been the “standard” since IBM PC AT back in the 1980’s. It has function row, alpha area, cursor cluster with arrows, and a numpad.  There is a variation called 108 key that added 4 keys on top of the numpad for other purposes, such as macros, volume control, and so on.  Below is an example of 108 key, a Keycool 108 (photo courtesy of IigerImports and Keycool) Some keyboard makers add an additional group of macro keys to make the keyboard even wider.
