HORI EDGE 201 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (EGU-201)

Por 500 pesos no creo que haya un teclado mecánico al precio. Se nota que es algo viejo ya que el metal se ve rojizo y a pesar de ser switches azules son lineales. No es la 8va maravilla del mundo pero por el precio lo vale. No he podido usar el software para programarlo, si es que aún sirve, pero me ha servido para trabajar de Home Office. Recomendado si lo encuentran disponible en oferta.

At the time, I paid $29.99 for this keyboard. Honestly, build quality wise, it may surpass that price point. You definitely shouldn't pay the MSRP of $150 for it, or even $100. Hori's in house switches may be high quality, but the actual feel of them isn't very suitable for typing with. They're not very sensitive, heavy and a bit mushy. There's no tactile feel to them either. Don't let the coloring of the switch fool you, they're not a clone of Cherry Blues by any measure. Funnily enough, they feel very much like buttons on a controller, which is great on a control pad or fight stick, but not very suitable for everyday typing.What this lacks in typing feel though, style somewhat makes up for it at least. I picked this up because it resembles the Hori Fighting Edge 4 fightstick, so it's fun that it matches another piece of hardware for me. I also like the low profile keycaps/switches.

I'm a huge PC gamer and it seems like I go through keyboards like a fat kid goes through Twinkies. After many sub-par keyboards I decided to invest some money in a good keyboard and after a few weeks with this keyboard I'm loving it. I've always liked mechanical keyboards for the feel (and the sound) and this one feels just right. The keys have a satisfying pressure to them and I love the back-light. Some keys flicker slightly, however. I'm not sure if this is a power issue or something to do with my USB port, but it isn't terribly noticeable, It would be nice if you could change the color (this model only has blue) but oh well. I also like the fact that the keys are raised up from the base. This makes cleaning much, much easier. The base itself is very sturdy, feels well made and looks very slick, Overall this is an amazing keyboard. If you like mechanical keyboards and are a PC gamer this is a fantastic keyboard.

The Hori Edge is a decent keyboard, with full mechanical switches, backlight, and custom software for programming the keyboard. However, the switches are exceptionally stiff and mushy. There is none of the "clicky" feel that most mechanical keyboards have, each keystroke felt like I was pushing my finger into memory foam. I have had better typing experiences with cheap membrane keyboards. It may be that the switches that are in this board are simply not for me (I tend to prefer a very light switch), but the feel of the keys prompted the decision to return the board within a minute of starting to use it. I went back to my old Razer Tournament Stealth, which I much prefer with it's far lighter key weight.

I loved everything about this keyboard, until the lights started flickering really bad. It also started making a very high pitched sound that was the worst noise I've ever heard come from a keyboard.
