Just about two years ago Tesoro released their Gram Spectrum keyboard. This full-size keyboard offered a more low-profile design, but still gave you the quality of mechanical key switches. Since the success of that keyboard Tesoro is now offering a TKL or tenkeyless version of the iconic keyboard. This keyboard is 80% the size of the full keyboard, has the same low-profile keycaps as well as mechanical key switches. For all of those who are fans of tenkeyless keyboards this could be the perfect thing for you. Read on to see what we thought about it.

Let's face it, the world of mechanical gaming keyboards has been over-saturated for quite a while now. It makes choosing a keyboard these days quite hard and just a lengthy process. While many companies have gone over the top with lights and other gimmicks many of us just want a solid keyboard that performs. Cooler Master thinks their new CK552 is the answer, as their tagline for the keyboard is "No-nonsense, no-compromise". This full-size gaming keyboard features Gateron mechanical key switches, RGB backlighting, and a pretty simple design that will look great on any desk or setup. What's even better is the price at only $86.99 at our favorite online retailer. That price makes it very attractive, especially for gamers who want to put as much money as they can into their graphics card, memory, etc.

If you are into eSports you've probably heard of FNATIC, they currently have professional teams for some of the most popular games out there like CS:GO, DOTA2, League of Legends, Fortnite, and Rocket League. Typically professional eSports teams are sponsored by peripheral brands who supply their gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, etc for these professional gamers to use. FNATIC went a different route and has created their own gaming "gear" line called FNATIC Gear, offering keyboards, mice, headsets, and mousepads. Are these just cheap products with the FNATIC logo on them? Or are they quality gaming products designed to give you the competitive edge? Today we are checking out our first FNATIC product, the miniStreak, which is a tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard. It features an anodized aluminium top plate, Cherry MX mechanical key switches, and full RGB backlighting backed up with some pretty awesome software. Let's jump in and see what this keyboard can do.

Corsair sells a lot of gaming keyboard, pretty much everyone I know rocks a Corsair gaming keyboard. Corsair's mechanical gaming keyboards are great, but one thing they are not is wireless, until now. Corsair announced their K63 wireless mechanical gaming keyboard earlier this year at CES and we've been testing it out for the past few weeks. While typically wireless and gaming didn't go together Corsair's new Unplug and Play initiative brings with it super-fast 1ms 2.4 GHz wireless technology. We saw this on Corsair's Dark Core RGB wireless gaming mouse and it worked flawlessly. So you are getting that great Corsair design and quality, Cherry MX mechanical switches, and no wires at all! On top of that Corsair also makes a lapboard for the K63 for all of those who want to game on a big screen on the couch. Let's jump in and see what the K63 Wireless is all about!

The last keyboard from Drevo that I took a look at was the Calibur, which actually turned out to be one of my favorite keyboards of 2017. So getting a new keyboard from Drevo it definitely has a lot of live up to. Today we have the Joyeuse, which is a 96-key keyboard that features low-profile mechanical switches, an aluminum alloy housing, wireless capability, white LED backlighting, and a super-thin design. Drevo tells us this keyboard is really made for office settings and typists, so we wouldn't call it a gaming keyboard, but we are going to put it through the paces...
