Tiny screens, wild colours and magic knobs - digitalfoundry tackles the mechanical keyboard trends of 2023
, while delivering the mechanical feel and wide OS compatibility that makes them an easy upgrade for people that wouldn't have considered a gaming-spec keyboard. Their latest effort, the Field75, takes a less minimalist tack - with a handle, volume wheel, macro keys and eye-catching colourways.
The volume wheel isn't the best, as it's plasticky and on the left side of the keyboard rather than on the right as I typically prefer, but the second wheel to adjust the backlight brightness and the three-way DIP switch for selecting connectivity modes work nicely - and are far better than reflecting the current mode using subtle shifts to the backlight as many other keyboards do.
Internally, the DK65 hits all of the new trends - gasket-mounted and hot-swappable switches , a 4000mAh battery providing a choice of Bluetooth, 2.4GHz and detachable USB-C wired connections and 50 days of reported battery life, RGB backlighting to reduce that battery life, n-key rollover and legs that allow for elevated or flat keyboard profiles. The DK65 is heavy for its small size and feels extremely well-built too.
Regardless though, this is a cracking little keyboard and at $99 it's good value too - I'd certainly take this over a cookie-cutter mechanical gaming keyboard any day. I'm always on the lookout for more interesting keyboards to test, so feel free to get in touch via Twitter or via the comments below if you have any suggestions.Eurogamer welcomes videogamers of all types, so sign in and join our community!
