Thermaltake, as we know , is a very popular chassis manufacturer. But recently they have gained mass popularity in the PC budget gaming peripherals market through their popular TteSports line up of peripherals. Gaming mechanical keyboards cost a lot and for budget gamers there are cheaper membrane alternatives which don't disappoint. Thermaltake looks to dominate that budget peripherals department with their Challenger Prime Gaming keyboard.
The keyboard has a very attractive price tag of only $30. It brings a surprising amount of features which is remarkable for this price bracket. The build quality of the keyboard is good. It is made of plastic but it doesn't feel cheap. The keyboard looks gorgeous and has some gaming centric accents with an aggressive design which make it stand out. There is a built-in wrist rest which can not be detached. The wrist rest is textured on the two sides and it feels surprisingly good to use this keyboard. The wrist rest offers a great typing experience and it's better than anyone could have imagined within this price point.
At the bottom, there are anti-slip pads which are also quite functional. The membrane keys on the keyboard are quite good and they provide tactile feedback. Travel distance on the board is short and it has fast actuation. So, up until now this is a great choice. Now, the keyboard does have anti-ghosting but it is limited to 6-8 keys. There are six programmable macro buttons on the left side. On the top, there are three profile shifter buttons. Dedicated media control keys are also present on the top right side of the keyboard. There is a built-in game mode which disables the Windows Key, a handy feature in case you accidentally press it. The keyboard has back lighting and it looks absolutely gorgeous. The back light has three colors : Blue, Purple and Red. The large nob on the top center is used to adjust the brightness of the back light. The driver software is very good and easy to use. It lets you manually adjust everything inside. So, overall, the TteSports Challenger Prime is a great bang for buck keyboard and it's very highly recommended for budget gamers.
