Penclic MK1 Professional Typist
Posted: 08 Jul 2021, 22:30
Here's very first impressions (after about two hours of use) and how it compares to my older non-RGB Cherry G80-3000 S TKL.
At first touch Kailh brownies feel "cheaper" than brown MX Cherry switches. But when I switched back to Cherry, it felt a bit hard and unwelcoming compared to this Penclic.
It's quieter (I purchased it for used in the open-space office and this feature was advertised). Small keys clack sound is quite muffled but larger keycaps rattle when released.
It's backlit (compared to Cherry) - not important to me.
Media player controls through Fn.
Weird font and Win key symbol - Penclic logo instead.
