Is the TECKNET RGB Wired Keyboard Worth It? My Take
After finally deciding to upgrade my gaming setup, I bought the TECKNET RGB Wired Keyboard a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, I was drawn in by its sleek design and the promise of customizable RGB lighting, which looked perfect for my aesthetic. However, I ran into a few issues that I didn’t expect.
First off, the key switches feel a bit inconsistent—some keys register presses late or double, which is frustrating during intense gaming sessions. Also, the RGB lighting, while vibrant, tends to flicker randomly on certain zones, and I can’t seem to find a way to stabilize it. I’ve tried updating firmware and resetting settings, but no luck.
I’m now wondering if these issues are common or just my unit. Should I get this keyboard despite these quirks, or would you recommend looking elsewhere? Would love to hear the community’s honest opinions or tips to fix these problems.

I've been using the TECKNET RGB keyboard for months, and the keys are pretty reliable for me. Could be a defective unit?

The inconsistent key registration sounds like a switch problem. Did you consider replacing the switches or trying a different model?

For the flickering, make sure your drivers are up to date. Sometimes Windows updates can interfere with RGB controls.

Morgan, good point. Also, check if the keyboard's software is properly installed. Some features might need dedicated software.

I had a similar experience, but after disabling some background apps, the flickering stopped. Might be software conflicts.
Is the build quality decent? I worry about durability with all the reported issues.
Casey, mine feels solid, but I've only had it for a few weeks. No signs of wear yet.
Would you recommend this keyboard for gaming or just casual use? I'm mainly into FPS games.

Taylor, I think it's okay for gaming, but those key issues might be distracting during fast-paced games.

Have you looked into other options? There are some budget RGB keyboards with better reliability.
If RGB isn't a must, maybe consider a mechanical keyboard with better reviews. The TECKNET is a bit hit-or-miss.
Would you say the price justifies these issues? Or do you think it's overpriced for the quality?
Morgan, for some, the aesthetics might outweigh minor issues. But if reliability is key, maybe wait for a sale or try another brand.
Anyone know if TECKNET offers good warranty support? That might influence my decision.
Jordan, from what I've heard, their customer service varies. Some users had to be persistent.
Would you recommend trying to fix the issues yourself, or is it better to return it?
I've had the same issue with flickering. Updating the firmware helped a bit, but sometimes it still happens. Maybe try a different USB port?
Alex, I haven't experienced flickering, but I agree that firmware updates can sometimes fix lighting issues. Did you contact support?
