Speedlink Parthica Gaming Keyboard Review

Final Thoughts


Price

The Speedlink Parthica is certainly one of the more affordable gaming keyboards on the market, as you can pick one up from CCL Computers for just £34.99 +£3.95 shipping. This is pretty good value for money given the overall range of features on the keyboard.

Overview

I have mixed feelings about this keyboard, without a doubt there’s nothing wrong with it, but on the other hand it doesn’t really excite me either. However, I think Speedlink has done a very good job of packing in a lot of practical features that can be very beneficial to PC gamers, without attaching a hefty price tag and I’m certainly happy with that aspect.

The design is obviously tailored towards a gaming audience, but I can’t help thinking that it looks and feels a little cheap; which is once again perfectly acceptable, because it is priced to reflect this. If you want a better looking keyboard than the Parthica with the same level of features, then you can easily go and spend another £30 for one, but I doubt you would feel any difference in terms of performance, so in that respect, the Parthica is very good value for money overall.

Pros

  • Built-in wrist rest
  • Three colour LED backlighting
  • On-the-fly macro recording
  • Dedicated macro, shortcut and multimedia keys
  • 128kb Internal memory
  • Affordable price

Cons

  • No forward/next buttons on multimedia keys
  • LED backlighting is a bit dim

“The Speedlink Parthica is packed full of features, has a unique design and a budget friendly price tag. It may not be the most exciting keyboard in the world, but when you need a competent gaming keyboard that won’t empty your wallet, you’ll find a lot to love about the Parthica.”

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
