Func KB-460 Review - Introduction

Meet Da Funk (not Daft Punk)

We test and review the Func KB-460 mechanical keyboard from FUNC. It comes with a some interesting gaming features that should be appealing to you as a gamer. The Func KB-460 is a mechanical keyboard and has been equipped with RED flavored switches (preferred by many). These keys have a long life span and can withstand a severe beating bringing you the stuff you as a gamer like so much. More recently mechanical keyboards have become the norm for gamers though and as such FUNC decided to drop the good old dome based keyboards and pursued the cherry MX switch based keys as well. As such today we'll have a peek at the all new KB-460 keyboard. For their first real 'mechy', it's quite a solid product.

As stated the KB-460 is a mechanical keyboard equipped with RED flavored switches (preferred by many).

We have seen it on several keyboards before already, but the keyboard is equipped with anti-ghosting capability which means multi-key presses at the same time are an option, again something gamers are after. You can press many keys at the same time without the keyboard input coming towards a grinding halt, using my ten fingers simultaneously was not an issue.

The Func KB-460 comes with several macro-keys, some local storage for the macro profiles and quick cycling through macro-profiles.
