Thermaltake X1 RGB Gaming Keyboard Review

Final Thoughts and Conclusion

Thermaltake has managed to make one impressive keyboard. From the smooth feeling Cherry Silver switches to the smooth looking and insanely customizable lighting there’s a ton to love here. It also manages to come in at a fairly impressive $120, while this isn’t cheap when you consider the price premium of genuine Cherry switches the X1 offers up an experience normally found on $150 and up keyboards.

I was also impressed because I had absolutly no issues with the keyboard itself, even when trying to specifically find things I didn’t like I managed to come up empty.

But the same can’t quite be said about the software that goes with the keyboard, while the issues were minor there’s deffinitley some glitches that need to be worked out in a future update.

Overall I rate the Thermaltake X1 keyboard a strong 5/5. Pretty much every aspect of this keyboard managed to impress me. From the build quality, lighting, key feel and everything in between this keyboard managed to outdo my expectations all while coming in about $30 less than I would expect a keyboard like this to be priced at. While I did have some issues with the software I’m not docking points since the keyboard itself didn’t have any issues.

If you’re looking for a keyboard in the $100-$150 price range this is the keyboard to get. While $120 isn’t cheap you’ll definitely get your money’s worth.

Pros:

Impressive build quality.
Great feeling keys.
Shorter key travel is great for gaming.
Thick braided cable that helps prevent tangling.
Mouse and headphone pass through.
Great looking lighting.
integrated media buttons.
Rubberized volume wheel.
Removable magnetized wrist rest.
Realitivly good value.
Gaming mode button lets you have two separate keyboard configurations at the press of a button.
Tons of customization.
Plus a few extra that I’m sure I missed.
