Thermaltake Meka G1 Gaming Keyboard Review

Testing:

To test the Thermaltake Meka G1 gaming keyboard, I set it up for use for a one week period. During this week I did everything from gaming to typing reports for school and using it for work. I averaged about eight hours a day so I had the ability to really use the keyboard and get a really good feel for it. Since the keyboard has a built in hub, I also ran HD Tune and a file transfer to see if the hub has any speed loss compared to a port directly on the the motherboard.

Testing Setup:

• Processors: AMD Phenom II X4 965
• Motherboard: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3
• Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P SE
• Memory: Mushkin 996744 DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24
• Video Card: XFX HD 5870
• Power Supply: Mushkin 800W Modular Power Supply
• Hard Drive: 1 x Seagate 1TB SATA
• Optical Drive: LG Supermulti DVD-R/W
• OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Comparison Keyboard:

• Logitech G15

When it came to comfort and ease of use I was gratefully surprised. I have big hands and this keyboard made typing and gaming great and my hands and wrists did not tire easily like they normally do with the Logitech G15. The Speed and accuracy was amazing. I never hit multiple keys nor did I miss a key that I meant to press. For the size of the Meka G1 I am very pleased with the day-to-day use of it.
