Updated July 2024, Phantom+ Elite Orange Switch

-Pics posted are my original Phantom keyboard- July 2024 update: This is now my 4th Techware keyboard. I have had two 87 key, a low profile version and now this newest Phantom+ Elite with orange switches that I just received yesterday. The only mechanical issue I had was with my original Phantom where one switch LED got stuck on the color blue after about two years of consistent use. This new Phantom plus Elite model is such an incredible value! I've owned $150 Corsair keyboards that don't feel as good to type on as this thing. There is absolutely zero ping when typing. The sound dampening is outstanding and you get a solid bottom out sound like very expensive custom built keyboards have. The orange switches are extremely smooth with a suttle tactical bump. I can instantly tell they are lubricated well. No scratch on the way down. Build quality easily rivals that of Corsair, Cooler Master, Ducky etc.. I'd give this new + Elite model/Techware only one critique. In 2.4ghz and Bluetooth mode, the keyboard goes to sleep after about 2 minutes at idle to save battery. When you press any key it wakes back up. Issue is, there is a 2-3 second delay between waking up and your PC recognizing it again. There is no option in Techware's software to disable this feature. Nor does Windows Device Manager allow you to adjust it's power settings. So you're stuck with it. For gaming, this likely isn't a huge problem because you're constantly pressing keys but for general web browsing, it gets annoying quickly. For example, when you've been using your mouse for a while then coming back to type something, only to realize the first couple words you typed, didn't register while the keyboard is slowly coming out of sleep mode. It happened to me about 5 or 6 times the while I was testing it in 2.4ghz mode over the course of a couple hours. Again, it is annoying and there should be a way to disable it. If you're using this on a PC just use the USB connection as not only will it NOT do this, you are also most likely getting lesser input lag. Everyone's use case is slightly different but for most PC gamers this is a non-issue. For say, sitting on your couch wanting a seamless wireless keyboard experience, this will effect you. TECWARE, IF YOU READ THESE REVIEWS, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE WITH A FEATURE TO DISABLE THE SLEEP POWER SAVING FEATURE! Conclusion: The simple answer is, YES! Its a great high-end feel mechanical keyboard with all the bells and whistles as keyboards 2x the price. It is NOT to good to be true! It really is that good. If you can't pony up the $80 for the wireless + Elite version, the Phantom+ is the non-wireless version for only $55. I'd actually argue that that one is the best bang for the buck. Skip the entry-level one all together. For like $15 more dollars you get literally everything the Elite has except BT and 2.4ghz wireless and the plastic shroud/cover thingy which is just for looks. The keyboard looks great without it. Stop shopping around now and just buy one and thank me later. ... show more

This keyboard rocks and doesn't cost too much
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
Thanks Tecware for making such a nice keyboard for this price! I just switched from a nice compact chiclet membrane kb (Perrix), and this one feels MUCH better, both on my actual fingertips and with my fingers' whole movement and delivery of keypresses. I'm using the brown switches, which are silent, but there's still a satisfying sound from a real keystroke. The braided cable is nice, and I was pleasantly surprised to notice it has some heft to it so a strong wind won't blow it off your desk. RGB effects are great! I settled on one I like the most (reactive ripple) and it's easy to cycle through the colors directly on the kb. The software is useful, and there are some interesting possibilities with the custom lighting configuration (samples available for fps, mmo, etc). The software displays what the keyboard is doing in real time, neat! It *almost* looks scriptable even, opening some possibilities of using this as a real output device. I'll get hacking with autohotkey and see how it goes. Maybe they can have an api or something in the future for people to take this idea and run with it. Three profiles to swap around, nice I think you can do macros with this? That seems useful and good for people who want that It comes with 4 extra switches and a puller, which is great because I love playing with one to see how it feels by itself Can receive firmware updates! (There's one for a tiny bug with the color in hurricane mode) I can't say that there's anything I dislike or any downsides to this keyboard. It's super ninja dark when not lit up, except for the white printing on the special keys for lighting and media functions, which is a good thing, but I might try to remove it later. The only other thing I could ask for is some convenience for hacking the RGB lighting output through a clean api or something. It would be really cool to use this for an indicator while my screen is off and I'm not using the computer. ... show more

First mechanical -- came from Logitech K740; Update - great customer service
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
My 5 year old Logitech K740 has been a great keyboard. Backlit, extremely low profile, scissor keys with some tactile feedback. But it is hard to keep clean and recently the key images have started to wear on a few. Wasn't all that sure about wanting to replace it but after doing some research I decided that maybe a mechanical would suit me well. I'm retired, not a gamer, and a decent two finger typist (~30wpm). Ordered the brown flavor when it was offered with a 12% discount coupon. Figured the price was right! :) I found I prefer using the TKL board with a thick wrist pad I got years ago from grifiti. I don't use the hover and peck old typewriter hand technique preferring to have the balls of my wrist supported by a wrist pad. The combo works quite well for me ergonomically. As an aside I'm still using a Microsoft Trackball Explorer 1.0 which again is indicative of my preference for ergonomic input devices. The brown key switches I choose after reading a lot about the options and am quite pleased with them. Not a huge fan of all the RGB modes, I'm sticking with a single constant color which I'm thankful is available. Works for me. :) The only criticisms I can offer are with regard to the software. I would have really liked to have been able to customize / reprogram the function keys just like Logitech's SetPoint software permits. Guess I'm spoiled. I did install Digola's Door Control 4.4 (freeware) to allow me options to have the function keys control the opening and closing of my DVD/CD Optical drive. I went with what I had been used to FWIW, the F8 key. All in all this is a very nice KB well worth consideration. The price point is an additional plus in that equation. Highly recommended! UPDATE: After 11 months of usage the LED under the right Shift key became very dim compared to all the other keys. I engaged Tecware support who requested pictures which I supplied. Two showing that area of the keyboard. One with keycaps in place and one with keycaps removed from the problem key and some next to it exposing the LEDs showing the disparity. They responded that it appeared my unit had developed a faulty LED unit and confirmed my address so that I could be sent a replacement. I am most appreciative that Tecware stands by their products and their one year warranty. Big :thumbsup:! ... show more

Buy this keyboard you fool!
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
Review Image by Emanmich
Okay, I gotta start this off with the cons/con, but so far its just one thing. I've been using this keyboard for like 3 or 4 months now I believe and several of the LEDs have already gone dead as seen in the pic I included. The "5" and whatever the key is just to the left of the "1" key.. otherwise I love it! The ergonomics are good, feels good when I'm typing et cetera. The sound quality is super satisfying if you like a clickity clackity keyboard like I do. Good compatibility! Worked great from day one and still does, and I'd say its a great value for your money if you're looking for your first RBG gaming keyboard! One other thing I guess I should mention is that you gotta download the Tecware RGB software to actually mess with the colors but its really simple to do, took me about 10 minutes from the download to setting up 3 different color profiles and effects I liked. Makes a great gift for the gamer in your life or the gamer in your own heart lol Id give 5 stars if those LEDs didnt poop out so early! ... show more

Nailed it
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
Zero actual complaints. Lighting options are great, brightness has 5 steps but you can adjust RGB color to make it darker, so full spectrum effectively. No light bleed from underneath keycaps if you're on lower brightness levels. Letters are perfect, easy to see. Feels solid, pretty heavy. This is one of the only keyboard on Amazon with Brown switches, and I believe the only RGB one, at this price range. Blue is so common but the Browns are either non-existent or way more expensive (like 35 vs 55). At least when I was buying this. I just previously got a different one that I had enough of and I'm happy to say this is a step up (albeit I can't speak to their RGB so I'm not comparing apples to apples). Oh and it has a braided cord and USB cap/cover - nice touch if you're carrying yours around. The spare switches are also considerate. Instructions are more of a cheat-sheet, and I don't see a reason for anything different, but I did have to deduce some things (the questions on this product page are helpful). I'm sure they will respond if you ask them. To change solid color: you want [FN]+[Ins/M1] a few times to get solid. Then [Fn]+[=/RGB] to get the keayboard to light up rainbow. Now press the key that has the color you want. Or just install the software; it's a tiny footprint and you can pick from a color wheel. OK now for the nitpicky stuff: -The number row's letters are more faint than the rest of the keyboard. The symbols especially. I kind of like it because it makes the letters stand out more. I'd rather too dim than too bright. But at any rate it's not that bad. -The spacebar. It clicks like a Blue. I checked and it's a Brown. But it clicks. I think it's from the support-"switches" on either end of the bar, jiggling. I'm gonna try a rubber O ring. The Right shift, and less so Enter, has the same issue - all of those keys have the supports. It's worst on the spacebar though. -Slight cosmetic thing: Under those support-"switches" for the spacebar are 2 pieces of metal... wire? Like a thin metal coat hangar. They're supports for the plastic things that look like caps but aren't. So you've got this deep black keyboard with alien spaceship-like lighting, and then there are these 2 pieces of shiny bare metal that you can see. Kinda ruins the shot. To put this into perspective, though, you're seeing about 1/8" of each. This is the nitpicky section, after all. OK that's it. Good product for an awesome price (~$40). I'll update regarding clicky spacebar and O-rings, if I remember. ... show more

Best Budget Keyboard I've Seen Though Has Some Minor Keycap Issues
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
Review Image by KC
Review Image by KC
The Tecware Phantom 87 is probably the best budget RGB mechanical keyboard I've found in terms of features and aesthetics. I have been using the Outemu Brown version of this keyboard for about four months now. The keyswitch quality, feel, and sound is very good and consistent across the board, and the extra included keyswitches are an appreciated bonus. I've seen in video reviews a ringing sound when keys are pressed but it must have been in earlier versions because I have not come across this issue. The clean aesthetics of the board set it apart from other boards in this price range. It doesn't scream "gamer" and it doesn't have to. Lighting is uniform and bright enough for my tastes (I've never owned an RGB keyboard before so I'm not exactly sure how bright a more premium board is). It comes with a wide array of backlighting modes and effects with intuitive controls. Very easy to control the lighting with or without the software. Speaking of which, the software is not amazing but it does the job. You can create and save multiple profiles (you cannot create any per-game / per-application profiles) with macro support and customizable per-key lighting. As far as I have figured out you can save 3 separate profiles for macros and can save more lighting profiles than that. Having any software at all is still much better than most boards in this price range however, so I give them a pass on it not being perfect. I don't use macros much so I find myself just using the on-board controls for lighting most of the time anyways. The only minor issue I have with this board is the keycap quality. The typeface is SO much better than other boards in this price range with a pretty minimal aesthetic that doesn't scream "I'm a gaming keyboard, please notice my hideous typeface." However, the printing quality on is not the greatest. I'm not sure if this is intentional but some of the characters have seemingly random lines in them as you can see in the included pictures. The O, 8, Option, and many of the non-single character keys like home, pg up, etc. have this issue. Additionally the black plastic on some keys is not thick enough to block all light so on two or three keys there are small portions where the lighting "leaks" through if you look at it closely. This is even less noticeable than the typeface lines but it's something to note. Some of the keycaps edges could have been smoother with some of them having some extra plastic left on the bottom sides, but again this is very minor. It's still not glaring and you don't notice it unless you're looking closely. I'm not sure if my unit came with a poor batch of keycaps because these issues, especially the lines in the typeface are not present in the promotional material. Overall, don't let my minor gripes with the keycaps fool you, this is a very good budget mechanical keyboard. I will be recommending this product to any of my friends who are looking for a budget mechanical RGB keyboard in the future. The only improvements I would suggest would be 1) Adding per-application profiles to the software and 2) the keycap finish could be just a *little bit* better. Fix the lines in the typeface, it's quite ugly. ... show more

Thoroughly impressive keyboard
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
Review Image by Joshua Reyes
I recently purchased the Tecware Phantom RGB TKL keyboard and downloaded the accompanying software. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality, attention to detail, design features, and user experience. TL;DR: If you can afford it, buy it. well-designed, well-made, user-friendly, great hardware/software features, outstanding value The keyboard's quality and features are phenomenal, not to mention the great price. It's the perfect complement to my recent gaming PC build. The keyboard is well-manufactured and has many 'little' features that really polish the whole experience (the keycap puller clicks into a cutout underneath, the braided USB cable has a cover for the connector on a rubber leash, 4 extra switches and a switch puller are included). The switches feel as expected, and the keycaps are well-made. It's a sturdy board, and has a very clean look. As advertised, it's plug-and-play, though the software (available at Tecware.co) allows for more customization. The TKL size is great for freeing up desk space. The software is user-friendly and allows for complete key reassignment, including Fn functions and macros. The RGB is uniform and high-quality. It comes pre-programmed with 18 different modes, as well as complete color options in the software with the ability to create and save profiles with customized key settings and RGB effects/layouts. There's Fn functions on the keyboard to quickly change RGB features (change static color, select one of the 18 preset modes, set to the default moving rainbow, change direction of movement, increase/decrease speed of effect, increase/decrease brightness). There's indicator lights that blink when you've reached a maximum or minimum speed/brightness. Only a few minor gripes: Though there are 3 channels to route the cable out of the rear (left, middle, right), the braided cable is too thick to fully settle into the cutouts (however, it's really only a narrow part of the molded plastic on the keyboard that prevents this, a little filing of the plastic would easily solve the issue). Also, there's a slight 'tinny' sound after hitting some of the larger keys (space bar, backspace, enter, etc.), but it doesn't occur with the standard 1x1 size keys (might be fixed with o-ring dampeners on those larger keys). Some users may find it more ergonomic to use with a wristpad, but that's somewhat of a personal preference, as a built-in wristpad would take up more deskspace. Note: the backlit keycaps are manufactured much better than my camera makes them look. ... show more

Not the best you can get for the money. Beware of switch compatibility
Size: Phantom 87 Color: Brown Switch
Review Image by Tina
Review Image by Tina
UPDATE AS OF DEC 2024 After a year of use, I’m selling this keyboard. Honestly it’s alright if you’re new to mechanical keyboards, but I personally regret getting this. KEYBOARD QUALITY IS MORE IMPACTFUL ON THE SOUND THAN THE SWITCHES! Switch pings/squeaky noises are pretty loud/amplified on the Tecware phantom 87, the stabilizers rattle and are not tuned. There’s some issues with the plate and some switches gets pulled out along with the keycap. ALL OF THIS WAS RESOLVED AFTER I SWAPPED TO A BETTER KEYBOARD FOR THE SAME PRICE! Outemu 3pin keyboards like this one is starting to phase out of the mechanical keyboard market because they suck even for a 3 pin (you need to file the metal pins thinner to even fit into this thing) and a lot of other keyboards support 5 pin hotswap already. If you’re willing to switch to spend 10 more dollars on a better quality keyboard, go look at keychron or monsgeek. Original review: this hot swappable keyboard is okay for its price. I would only really recommend buying this keyboard to swap into other switches though, the default outemu switches suck, it’s squeaky and has a lot of spring ping, VERY HARD to pull out. Tip to pull the outemu switches out would be giving the sides some wiggle til they come off. Some websites say that the Akko switches are compatible with this keyboard’s outemu sockets - but they did not say which version, NOT ALL AKKO SWITCHES FIT! Now if you bought the Akko V1 switches, it should fit okay, but if you got something like V3 (ex. Penguin silent), it’s NOT going to fit without a ton of work to modify the Akko switches. The outemu sockets on this keyboard require the metal pins to be thin similar to fit the outemu switches and it is 3pin, so if you got a 5pin with 2 extra plastic pins on the switches you want, your only option would be to use a wire cutter/nail clipper to clip them off, then use sandpaper or filer to file the metal pins thinner. It’s a lot of tedious work and you do have a risk of breaking the metal pins off, so do this at your own discretion. ... show more
