While many peripheral makers are currently chasing down the RGB trend, there is still plenty of room in the market for a standard mechanical keyboard. Today, we are taking a look at the Speedlink Ultor, a mechanical keyboard offering up red switches, macro support and more, all wrapped up in a frameless, 10-keyless design.

The Speedlink Ultor sits at the £80 price point, which is fairly close to mid-range for a mechanical keyboard. Under the caps, you will find Kailh Red switches which offer faster actuation compared to Blue or Brown switches. This makes them quite a popular pick amongst gamers, though typists will miss the lack of tactile feedback.

• Customisable LED keyboard illumination.
• Freely configurable key/button functions.
• Progressive Gaming Mode with 5 profiles, 6 macro keys, swappable WASD and arrow keys, remappable keys plus Windows key deactivation.
