After establishing itself as a brand worth considering in the mini PC market, Minisforum leaps forward with its first computer peripheral, namely the MKB i83 mechanical keyboard. Its specs and features include anodized aluminum body, double-shot PBT keycaps, Kailh MX Red switches, as well as multi-device connectivity.

    Am I the only one who read the title as misinformation enters the peripheral market?

    Like the thousands of other bog standard 60% keyboards. Looks like it’s primary “innovation” is offering multi-device bluetooth for $99 without swappable switchs, which makes me doubt that it’s anything close to “a masterpiece of elegance and performance”.

    Kinda tired of random other thing manufacturers deciding to enter the keyboard market by building the same goddamn thing as everyone else. You want to disrupt a market? Try making an ergo mechanical keyboard with swappable switches that won’t kill our wrists in 5 - 10 years for less than $300.

    If it’s anything like their mini pc business, it can be hit and miss - best to wait a bit. Seems their business model (at least on the pc side) is to pump out the latest trend and move on and not really fix any issues that crops up. Also they are based out of china so you might have to eat the shipping cost for any “fix”.
