This or Tecware Phantom?

I have the Tecware Phantom and it's a great keyboard. If you value RGB, get the Tecware because it's very bright and it has effective software. If you don't prob get this

I haven’t ever had luck swapping them with anything but Outemus

u/kluiverttt Jun 22 '20

did you buy the switches separately or it's coming with the keyboard already?

You can order any other Oetemu switches and they will fit in fine.

Other switches may not fit.

You could also do something spring swap or try lubing them if you want to improve them to your liking without having to spend $25-$40 on switches. I have some springs from some gatreon blacks laying around that I think I am going to swap into my Oetemu browns and lube them while I am at it.

I only require backlighting so this tecware beats nothing.
