Cougar 200K gaming keyboard review

Jon Martindale February 24, 2015 Featured Announcement, Keyboards

Rating: 7.0.

Mechanical switches are not the only option available for the enthusiast user. Along with the traditional membrane keyboard that everyone graduates from at some point, there is the middle ground. The scissor key, (which is used in almost all laptops due to how low profile it can be), offers an improved experience over a membrane board by shortening the travel distance of the key with a scissor like design. This is what Cougar has opted for with its 200K keyboard. It is built with gamers in mind, but is it any good?

    £30 for a glorified membrane keyboard? There’s so many better things I could do with that.

    This is the only “gaming” keyboard I have ever seen with a double height return key. Is there a reason the rest don’t have one?

    It’s the only gaming scissor switch keyboard with anti ghosting features. If noise and lower key profile is what you’re after you’d be hard pressed to find anything better.

    Yes, its not standard in the american keyboard layout. Are you from the UK? You need to look up the various ISO standard layouts. There are some gaming keyboads that come in the UK ISO format.

    That it may be, but to me it’s still a glorified membrane keyboard.

    I use a mechanical keyboard on a daily basis but I do genuinely enjoy scissor switches, Thinkpad and Avertech keyboards are my golden standard for scissor switches, never mind that nobody will read this as this article is almost 2 years old

    I’ve been looking for a good desktop scissor switch keyboard – give me more details on this Avertech.
