If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard that won't annoy your co-workers, this is it. The Plugable Compact 87-Key's red switches offer a buttery smooth feel that's ideal for rapid-fire typing and gaming. Its compact size leaves room for your mouse, and the included keycap puller makes customization easy. Step up from mushy membrane keyboards without sacrificing your peace and quiet.
No, the switches are soldered in place and not designed to be replaced. However, the keyboard is built to last.
Yes, it works with macOS. The keys are standard, and you can use the Option/Command keys as per your OS settings.
It's significantly quieter than clicky (blue) switches, but not silent. It produces a soft 'clack' that most find acceptable in shared workspaces.
This keyboard is exactly what I needed for my office. The keys are quiet but still tactile, and it feels great to type on.
Coming from full-size keyboards, I had to adjust to the tenkeyless layout. The keys are smooth and the red switches are indeed quiet. I appreciate the compact footprint. The only reason for 4 stars is the lack of backlighting – I wish I had known it wasn't backlit. Otherwise, it's a solid keyboard.
I have limited desk space, so this 87-key keyboard is perfect. It feels premium with its aluminum top plate. The switches are smooth and quiet, making it great for both typing and gaming. I've been using it for a month, and I love it. The build quality is impressive for the price.
The typing experience is nice – the red switches are smooth and quiet. However, the keycaps feel a bit thin and wobbly. They have a slight rattle if you tap them. I might replace them later. For the price, it's a decent keyboard, but not excellent.
This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I'm enjoying it. The red switches are quite and have a smooth keystroke. The tenkeyless design saves space on my desk. It took a week to get used to the layout, but now it's natural. The only issue is that the cable is not detachable, which would have been more convenient. Still, a fantastic entry-level mech.
I use this keyboard for both work and play. The red switches are responsive and quiet enough not to disturb others. The build is solid, and the compact size is ideal. The stickers for the switches are a nice touch, though I didn't use them. I've tested other keyboards, but this one wins on price and performance.
I've used gaming keyboards costing twice as much, and this one is comparable in quality. The switches feel consistent across all keys, and the stabilizers are decent. The keycaps are a bit glossy, but they're okay. I wish there was a USB passthrough, but that's a minor complaint. Overall, highly recommended.
I like the size and the quiet operation. The red switches are indeed quiet, which is great for a shared office. The build feels solid, and the key layout is standard TKL. However, the lack of backlighting is a downside for dim environments, and the rubber feet don't provide much grip on a smooth desk. But for the price, it's a great keyboard. I've been using it for two months without issues.
