Tesoro changed gears from what we have seen from them in the past, and it has paid off considerably. While they are not the first to bring this sort of a design forward, they did do it very well, and in our mind, competes head to head with what Corsair i...
Available in black or white models, White version looks absolutely stunning with the RGB backlighting enabled, Feels good to type on and is perfect for gaming, Low profile design has been implemented very well, Reasonable price, Software is easy to use

Cherry MX switches were never really designed for gaming. Although they're still as popular as ever, more and more manufacturers are moving away from them, often due to an inability to secure supply, the rising cost or both. Seeing companies pursue new an...
