It doesn’t have a number pad, for instance, and that saves on real estate. The reason for this is simple: it is designed to be portable or not take up much room. Simple enough, right? When it comes to size and dimensions, the VISSLES V84 is a 75% size keyboard which means it is a little smaller (25%) than traditional keyboards. The variety of auditory feedback, tactile feedback, and force to activate the switch define your typing experience. They register every single press of a key. And I got along just fine.īut here’s a quick definition of “switches” via VISSLES: Mechanical Keyboard Switches, known as Keyboard Switches, are the mechanisms under the keycaps on a mechanical keyboard. I didn’t bother learning about things like switches and Cherry Profile PBT keycaps. I bought the Keychron V2 because it was the most recommended option.

I had no idea what “switches” meant in relation to mechanical keyboards when I first bought one. Words that might not make a lot of sense to you – things like switches, for instance, and while you do need to know what these words mean, it isn’t essential for making the switch. There’s a lot of weird terminology in the mechanical keyboard world. So when VISSLES sent me its V84 to review, I was hesitant to switch out my daily driver. It hasn’t missed a beat in the entire time I have used it. My daily driver for the past couple of years has been the Keychron V2, a wireless mech keyboard designed for use with Macs, iPad, and iPhones. They also make a wonderful clicky-clack sound that I really enjoy. Mechanical keyboards are more comfortable to use, are far kinder to your joints and fingers, and, once you’ve got the drift of using them, a hell of a lot faster to type on. I switched to a mechanical keyboard back in 2018 and since then I haven’t looked back. I tend to do around 2000 to 3000 words every day, so I need a keyboard that is both comfortable to use, good on my joints, and fast. If you run a Mac and you type a lot, you’ll know that Apple’s keyboard design, while decent enough, leaves quite a lot to be desired.

Is it the best option on the market for Mac users right now? Let’s find out… The VISSLES V84 is a modern, wireless mechanical keyboard with a retro design that ticks quite a lot of boxes.
