Vortech Essential Keyboard and Mouse Set

The Vortech Essential gaming keyboard is a full-size, wired keyboard that I use for gaming and work. I grab the Vortech Essential when I want to game quickly. Because it is a wired keyboard, I only game in one place.

Quick connection and setup The box contains the gaming keyboard, a USB A to USB C cable, and a manual. I connect the Vortech Essential with the included USB A to USB C cable and immediately start playing my favorite game. I consider that a big plus. With this keyboard, I work without extra software, and it is plug and play. Everything works quickly and clearly. I control the extra functions via the FN key. That works easily and quickly. I connect the cable to my PC, start my game, and get started. This makes this keyboard great for when I play a quick game and don't want to spend time on settings or profiles first.

Handy for gaming and work The Vortech Essential has a full-size keypad. I find that handy when I type a lot or use numbers often while gaming. The keys feel smooth, and I adjust the keyboard height using the feet. This ensures I always game comfortably. I also customize the RGB lighting myself. I choose from 16.8 million colors so that the keyboard matches the rest of my setup well. That immediately adds more atmosphere to my desk.

Practical gaming keyboard I also like that this keyboard doesn't have a complicated design. I can see exactly where everything is and pick it up quickly as a result. The cable is located in the middle of the keyboard, though. That doesn't bother me much while gaming, but on my desk, it's less convenient if I want to neatly hide the cable. This keyboard only works wired, meaning I am always tethered to a cable. This keeps it primarily a simple and practical keyboard.

Gaming with fast registration The Vortech Essential features linear mechanical keys. As a result, I feel and hear very little feedback when I press a key. I find that pleasant, because my keystrokes remain smooth and steady. Anti-ghosting also ensures that I maintain control when pressing multiple keys at once. The polling rate of 1,000 hertz transmits my input quickly. I notice this especially in shooters and other fast-paced games, such as Valorant and Overwatch. My actions register smoothly and the keyboard responds immediately. If I perform multiple movements in quick succession, the keyboard continues to register well. This gives me more control during fast moments in a game.
