"The typing experience with this keyboard is ... alright. It's nothing special, not worth writing home about, but it's not bad. The switches are light to type on, being tried-and-true Gateron Red switches with a 45-gram actuation weight. These are a proven design that feels smooth and has been used for years without issue, but they won't blow you away, especially if you're somewhat familiar with modern mechanical switches."
"While this $200 keyboard stands out from its other offerings, it hardly manages to sit at the same level of its contemporaries. There aren't any cut corners in this keyboard's physical design and assembly, but strange software and layout choices make the entire user experience feel disjointed."
The DeltaForce 65 presents a modernized mechanical keyboard with robust construction, including a gasket-mount assembly, flex-cut PCB, hot-swap sockets, and distinctive styling. Typing performance is competent but unremarkable; Gateron Red 45g switches offer smooth, light actuation but feel somewhat wobbly and underwhelming compared with contemporary options. Stabilizers may require additional lubrication. Firmware and layout choices detract from usability: some default key combinations fail and QMK/VIA implementation is poor. Camouflage keycaps and odd default shortcuts contribute to a disjointed user experience despite solid physical design and assembly.
