Tecware has done it again. The company best known for making incredibly affordable peripherals has created a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard for just under $100, and still managed to include almost all the features nearly anyone could want. The Tecware B68 mechanical keyboard sports a compact 65% form factor, with an all-white, minimalist design that gives it a sleek look that fits in any setup.

I’m rather glad that Tecware hasn’t gone with a floating key design here, and I enjoy the more business-like aesthetic. Build quality is solid, and there’s no noticeable creaking and flexing. The 65% form factor leaves more space for your mouse movements, and it’s also easier to keep centered for better ergonomic alignment. I find the 65% layout to be the sweet spot when it comes to keyboards — you still have plenty of space, while retaining the arrow keys that so many people are reluctant to do away with.
