Pictek PC305

Can a cheap keyboard play with the big boys?

- DAVE ALCOCK

IN THE LAB, we often get the latest and greatest keyboards available to use and review, but what about the other end of the scale? We decided to scour Amazon to find the cheapest mechanical keyboard available on Prime that had over four-star reviews. We ended up with a $30 Pictek mechanical keyboard, which, unlike many cheaper models, is a legitimate mech-board, rather than a “mechanical feel” keyboard, which you tend to find listed slightly cheaper.
