Reply to comment by AymcHD in My son’s first custom keyboard by olderbutcromulent

It’s a decent no soldering, plug and play keyboard.

Pros:

  • Easy to assemble out of the box (hot swappable)
  • Very affordable
  • Fun colors
  • the stock stabilizers are surprisingly great
  • Dongle + storage spot for the dongle

Cons:

  • Hollow sound (easily fixed if you don’t like the sound
  • No wired option
  • AAA Batteries required

It is just a wireless keyboard, that I don't know why, but it's good for trying out stuff ig.

i recommend the gas67 as a wired alternative if you were thinking about getting the tester68

And what about RK68, or akko 3068b? Which would be the best budget wired alternative for TES68?

BTW there is a workaourd to make the TES68 to be always connected using USB-C cable. The USB-C cable only feed the TES68 with power instead of AAA batteries, the USB dongle is still needed to communicate with the computer.

​

To reflect to the post. Great keeb, good job! :)

If it helps it does have 2.5GHz wireless too. It's a pretty decent budget board, well worth looking at, and it takes customisation pretty well too.

It’s got 2.4 (via dongle) that stores on the back beside the batteries.
