The Vibe75 Keyboard from Mechlands is an attractive proposition. The south-facing RGB is appealing and the metal effect case is light but great to look at. Alongside this, it has a versatile display screen and media knob. Accordingly, you can focus on key stats or control settings with ease.
On top of this, it is compact and versatile. This device is suitable for Mac and PC users. Moreover, you can use the USB-C cable for a wired connection. Alternatively, you can connect via Bluetooth or wireless with the cleverly concealed USB dongle.
Finally, if you work during your commute or you have a mini workstation, this device is perfect. The lightweight design and 75% form factor ensure it is easy to carry and small enough for the tightest of spaces.

Technical aspects.
The Vibe75 Keyboard is ideal if you love to type or adore fast-paced gaming. The 1000 Hz polling rate keeps you ahead of your competition. Though I noticed latency differences between wired and wireless connectivity, the impact was minimal and I enjoyed low-latency gaming no matter my connection.
This device has 3 unique Bluetooth profiles. These can be selected with macros and this makes it wonderfully versatile. I connected this keyboard to my PC, Laptop, and mobile phone and it connected with ease. If you wish to connect to the USB dongle or a Mac, there are 2 handy switches at the rear of the device.
Wireless gaming isn’t my go-to option. I worry about battery life, and the fear of connection problems is a turn-off. Luckily, the 4000 mAh battery lasts ages, and it can be charged with ease. What’s more, I enjoyed uninterrupted and stable wireless connectivity.
Usability.
The Vibe75 Keyboard is remarkably user-friendly. The small form factor comprises 79 keys. Moreover, the FN button allows you to work through built-in macros to overcome the missing buttons. If you must have a Numpad, maybe the Vibe99 Keyboard is a good alternative.
Flicking between settings was simple, and I liked the handy data screen. This small display highlights the Bluetooth profile and your battery life. This was great, as no one likes running out of juice mid-game. Changing your settings was as easy as remembering each macro and flicking a switch. Consequently, this is a great option for inexperienced gamers.
Build quality.
MechLands kindly sent me the Blade75 Keyboard to review last month. I adore this device as the metal case and heavy nature were a real eye-turner. The Vibe75 Keyboard focuses on a different audience. The plastic case with a metallic effect is lightweight but tough. Additionally, it mixes sci-fi and steampunk for a truly unique look.
I love the blend of black and deep reds. The keycaps look amazing and the south-facing RGB pops against the dark livery. If you love to experiment with your peripherals, this keyboard has hot-swappable 3/5-pin switches. Subsequently, no soldering is needed if you wish to use your favourite switches.
I’m impressed with the under 1 kg weight and the 3-step feet. This simple approach ensures that you have the most pleasant working and gaming time no matter your preference. Finally, the plate-mounted stabilisers create a comfortable and responsive typing experience. The mechanical edge has a nice audio profile and using this for typing and gaming was a real joy.
Is the Vibe75 Keyboard worth it?
I have tried and tested plenty of great gaming keyboards. Some are extremely expensive and unique, and others are more affordable but lack a wow factor. Luckily, the Vibe75 Keyboard is affordable but it looks incredible. Additionally, it has a great battery life and I loved its versatility. Accordingly, I love it and I recommend buying it here!
