Chillkey ND75 Affordable Custom Keyboard Review
Chillkey is back with its latest mechanical keyboard and it’s a doozy. We were impressed by its first product, the Paw65 but this is of a whole other caliber. The Chillkey ND75 comes in a full aluminum case, pre-lubed switches and stabilizers, tri-mode wireless, tons of foams for sound tuning, an OLED screen, VIA programmability, and more. At $99, it offers a complete custom keyboard experience, well-exceeding much of the competition, including the Keychron Q1. If you’re looking for a quality keyboard for typing, gaming, and everything in between, it should definitely be on your wish list.

Chillkey ND75 — Design and Highlights
Great keyboards just keep coming. We’ve seen so many stellar options come out with enthusiast-level quality, pushing the prices lower and lower: the Epomaker x Feker Galaxy80, the WOBKEY Rainy75, Chillkey’s own Paw65, each of these keyboards challenge what you should expect for around $100. I’ve found a new favorite: the Chillkey ND75.
While each of the above keyboards and the more expensive options you can buy have their merits, sometimes you find a keyboard that just clicks with you. That’s the ND75 for me.
