Now, this is one of the most exciting things in the office right now. The Marvo KG901 is a fully mechanical keyboard for bargain prices. It comes hard-wired with a USB cable, and it is as simple as plug and play. It does have a few extra features, but they can all be adjusted from the keyboard easily enough.
It’s not a bad looking keyboard either, and despite being “cheap” it doesn’t really feel it. It’s quite compact, has a slim bezel and a rather sturdy weighted feel to it. It’s not all plastic either, like any good mechanical, it has a steel plate running through to provide a stable mounting platform for the switches.
The branding is nice and minimal too, with just a little model number and slogan on the space bar.
Everything else is where you would expect it though, and there’s even a Win Lock function here.
Upon the top, you have all your multimedia controls, which is fantastic. Of course, you access them using the Fn-Shift key.
I do love my multimedia buttons though, they’re great for controlling music while you’re gaming. Plus, there are a few basic work shortcuts here too, which I don’t use, but I’m sure some others will.
The coolest one is the bank of macro functions. They’re a little out of the way to be practical for most gaming needs. However, for editing shortcuts, long addresses, that kind of thing, they’re perfectly usable.
The RGB LED lighting is pretty basic, however, you can change the pattern and brightness a little with these. I really do mean it’s basic, but to see some control added is a welcome bonus indeed.
I won’t lie, I can’t make out who makes these switches. It’s not a name I’m familiar with. However, they actually feel pretty decent. I mean, they’re obviously built to look, feel and sound like Cherry MX switches. I’d say they’re a little lighter on the touch, but as good as any other out there and at this price, they’re bloody brilliant.
The RGB isn’t half bad either, it’s not exactly a world of dynamic and vibrant colours. It’s like RGB before RGB was a thing, which technologically speaking is likely true as I suspect it’s built on older (and more affordable) hardware. That being said, it looks alright and even if you choose to turn it off, it’s still a nice looking keyboard.
