Title: Chicony KB-5161C review (Amber Omrons)
Post by: chyros on Sat, 26 September 2015, 10:20:57

Hi everyone, I'm back from holiday!

This week, something a bit more exotic (and very, very clicky); an undocumented variation of KB-5161 with amber Omrons. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Sounds like a solid piece of gear!

I imagine this would be very nice to type on while wearing headphones.

Haha actually it's not THAT great to type on xD . The switch feels kind of like they didn't really think about what they were doing when they made it.

They're also loud enough that it's hard to hear things through them. They're well funny though xD .

Thanks for the review, and all of your other ones!  Only bad part is now it makes me want to get some of these boards/switches to try out...  :))

Haha cheers, happy you like them :) . Hopefully I was at least able to make you decide which ones you should and shouldn't try ;D .
