These are\u00a0linear MX switches with a 5-pin plate mount, offering smooth, consistent bump-free keystrokes. The 5 pins reduce wobbling caused by heavy typing and maximize steady typing. I&#8217;m very impressed with the transparent design of the keyboard, however, I don&#8217;t really like the look of the keycaps; They are transparent on the sides but the top is covered with a PBT layer. Somehow, it ruins the sleek design of the keyboard in my experience. Having said that, I used some other keyboards with totally transparent keycaps and they are terrible as well because I couldn&#8217;t see the characters clearly. Between the two options, the PBT top is still a better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-5.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-5-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-5-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-5-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyboard supports both wired and wireless connections, making it adaptable for various setups and preferences. It includes Bluetooth 5.0 for reliable wireless connectivity and a 2.4GHz wireless mode for a more stable connection, especially in environments with many Bluetooth devices. Additionally, it can be connected via a Type-C cable, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-4.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-4-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-4-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout features of the K81 is its dynamic RGB lighting, which adds an aesthetic appeal to any workspace or gaming setup. The lighting is customizable, allowing users to create a personalized look that matches their style or mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-3.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-3-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of build quality, the keyboard is designed with sound and shock absorption in mind. It features dual layers of noise-dampening cotton, a Poron foam switch pad, and a silicone pad. These materials work together to minimize sound distortion and provide a quieter typing experience, which is particularly beneficial in shared workspaces or during late-night gaming sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-1.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-1-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The gasket-mounted design is another key aspect of the K81. This design approach offers a more flexible typing experience, as the keyboard plate is not directly attached to the bottom case. This results in a softer, more cushioned keystroke, which can reduce fatigue during long typing sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-2.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/k81-keyboard-2-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mechlands.com\/products\/leobog-k81?variant=44376345837792\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">EPOMAKER x LEOBOG K81<\/a> is an good choice for anyone looking for a compact and comfortable transparent mechanical keyboard.
