In fact, the keys are so easy to depress in comparison to membrane keys that I found myself moving forward on accident the first few days, until my fingers were able to adjust. In fact, I probably only have about 12 inches of my mouse cable actually out. The rest is wrapped up neatly in a velcro cable wrap, which not only reduces snagging, but also makes my desk appear much more organized than before. I love everything about the Thermaltake Meka G1, from the extra thought put into the cabling, to the extremely comfortable flow of the Cherry MX Black mechanical keys.
I am most impressed with their continued effort to provide gaming hardware that is protected from issues that can plague cheaper alternatives. For more information you can visit the Thermaltake Meka G1 over at their site.
I recently bought one from my pal. I have the black variation of this keyboard, an older model. About the typing speed, do you use any other mechanical keyboards, like with Cherry Mx Blues or Reds? I know from experience that the key switches are quite stiff 60 grams of actuation force and are not optimized for typing.
I also own a Das with Cherry Mx Blues, and the keys are lighter and faster to type with. You must log in to post a comment. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Before I even requested the keyboard to be reviewed, I was already stunned by the official product photos. It looks really nice with the black finish on the matte material with a mixture of reds.
In real life, it looks as good as the photos, if not better. The keyboard is sturdy and the matte material makes it look luxurious and non-finger print magnet. Keyboard is a bit heavy, which makes it sit sturdy on the table.
The Meka G Unit is using the Cherry Black mechanical switches which has a life expectancy of up to 50 million keystrokes and also provide a nice tactile feedback for typing read the Cherry mechanical switches differences. The keys are equipped with backlighting, though unfortunately not all keys are back-lit. There are 3 sections with back-lit keys mechanisms; they are:.
You can tweak through the software whether you want all of these 3 sections to lit up or just one of them. There are also 4 light intensity levels that you can choose from or pulsating. For example, I never use the keypad or arrow keys for gaming. The keyboard has dedicated macro keys on the left hand side, a Game mode switch which disables the Windows key , Profile switch, and dedicated 7 multimedia control keys.
I like the fact that the Windows key is located at the usual place, compared to the Meka G1 which replaces it with a Function key. At all times, you will see the feedback of these keys you press on the screen, which I really like. However, I do find that some of the keys are somewhat smaller and the positioning of ESC is not in the right place.
These might be minor as it depends on your preferences or style. I find that after using the Meka G Unit for a while, I have sort of gotten used to the keys placement already. With the dedicated macro keys and 3 profiles to choose from, the Meka G Unit provides up to 60 macro keys in total 20 macros in each profile — from 12 dedicated macro keys and 8 other keys you pick.
There are definitely plenty of macros you can make here! Having these dedicated macro keys really helps in battle, especially in an MMORPG games with tons of skills you need to manage. These macros can be saved into the keyboard itself, thanks to the built-in 64kb memory, meaning I can plug this keyboard anywhere and all of my macros will still be available as they were recorded originally.
