TERRAFLARE K762 PRO

First “Gamer” Keyboard

Im a keyboard novice, but this is by far better than my old razer keyboard. The key press feels so much nicer and quicker. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a budget friendly professional keyboard.

A decent keyboard with nice switches, but a number of problems.

I want to acknowledge what I received the K762 as a free gift from one of Redragon's contests. This isn't a keyboard that I would have bought for myself, which I have tried to take into account for this review. Before I received this keyboard I had the K618 Horus as my daily driver, but I like the key switches so much more that I have started using the K762 instead. I haven't found the LED screen on the board to be very useful. It main feature is to switch between lighting effect and modes, but I just stick with a a soft blue glow so I don't use it. It can also show a GIF, but the screen size and storage space makes this less appealing than it sounds. The one minor use I found is as a clock because I run my desktop with a hidden taskbar, and it is just easier to glance down then pull it up. I don't like that the screen also acts as the status indicator of the locking keys, I am concerned about the usability if the screen breaks. I am unhappy with the firmware. The light bar above the arrow keys can't be changed or synced with the lighting effects. They have released a patch to give you more control, but it uses the right ctrl key which interferes with my Autohotkey hotkeys, so I have chosen not to use it. I've noticed that the key lights turn off every now and then even when it is plugged in, and I have to turn it off and on to get them back. It doesn't have macro buttons. I didn't use them much on my K618, but every now and then they are helpful, so I go back to the Horus. I actually like the knob used for volume control more than the Horus's roller, I have had less issues with changing the volume by accident. I used the keyboard plugged in so I don't know how long the battery lasts, but the Horus gave me about 30 hours between charges at the lowest light level, but the uncontrollable light bar would be a drain. The build quality feels good and solid, but it is a little heavy so I wouldn't be moving it around a lot just because it is wireless. The keys are nice, but the finder indicators on the F and J are just little nubs, so I think they may wear down over time from use. All in all I think it is a good keyboard and it changed my opinion on what switches I like, but I wouldn't purchase it again if mine breaks.

I love this keyboard!!!

This is the first keyboard that I have purchased. I was drawn to it by the mint switches and the fact that it was a full size keyboard which I need for work. I thought that it was going to be a flimsy keyboard like the one I had been working with, boy was I surprised! It was sturdy and has weight to it. I love the RGB and the light and color combos. The battery life is great and I also love that it is tri-mode. I can’t weight to find my next keyboard.
