At around ₹2,299, getting a gasket-mounted mechanical keyboard with a volume knob is a fantastic deal with minimal risk if you don't mind a wired connection.
Should you buy this?
- Buy it if
- You want a budget-friendly mechanical keyboard with premium typing acoustics like a gasket mount and pre-lubed switches without breaking the bank. You prefer a compact 65% layout that saves desk space for mouse movement while retaining essential arrow keys and a convenient volume knob.
- Skip it if
- You strictly require a wireless or Bluetooth mechanical keyboard for a clean, cable-free desk setup or for easy pairing with multiple devices. You heavily rely on a dedicated numeric keypad or standard function keys for intensive office work, data entry, or specific software shortcuts.

How this rating was made
The score comes from one evaluation of the Flipkart specification table against today's cash price, calibrated so most consumer electronics land between 65 and 88. Affiliate partnerships never change a score, and no brand pays for placement. Where the store withholds a specification, the model is told to treat it as unknown rather than assume a good value.
Generated from real fetched data · Last checked 20 Oct 2026 · Price history is Flipkart only
