   It’s not often that a product from a new player in the market leaves us with the best possible impressions but that’s exactly what happened with the MXX Tenkeyless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard by Rantopad. Sure it may not have RGB key illumination, macro keys and a removable wrist rest like the majority of keyboards we’ve reviewed lately but it has a top made out of durable magnesium aluminum alloy (which as we mentioned earlier both looks and feels great), it offers backlit illumination for the keys with several effects, it’s small, very easy to clean (since the keys are basically outside from the housing) and has a removable braided cable. As for the Gateron Red mechanical switches well Rantopad has done a great job mimicking the Kailh Red ones (not surprising especially if Kailh is indeed behind them) but these are actually quite louder as you can see from our chart (something that may have to do with the material of the keyboard as well) and thus are quite good even for typing. All that’s left is for us to see just how much Rantopad asks for it.


   Luckily Rantopad seems to be doing very well here as well especially since our model with the Gateron Red mechanical switches currently retails for just USD65.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 71Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Of course you can find other tenkeyless models at around the same price range but I doubt any of them will offer the build quality of the MXX (at least in terms of housing – the switches are another story, one which only time can tell). Overall Rantopad has a winner in their hands and although it may not get to become a best seller still it comes highly recommended by us and that’s why it gets our Golden Award.
