As above.
There was nothing on display but the uncle very nice to unbox and let me try.

Feels like blue switch but one thing I noticed is that it is very light thus I suspect construction wise may have some compromise. Keys feel clicky. Layout wise nothing to shout about but the fonts are big. At $109, TKL and reputation of valore.. you decide.

If you willing to spend 100+ might as well get razar or something reputable .

Not sure if this is good, but the brand don't bring much confidence to the quality of the product.

In actual fact everything Made in China from OEMs.
You check the pricing of mechanical keyboards on taobao you will laugh.
Profit margin easily over 500%
A mechanical keyboard cost around $10-20 SGD there and comes with metal base.

Only the exterior and label looks different. Clearly there are a lot of brands out there, but none of them produce any keyboards.

However, the difference is that some brands emphasizes on quality, and Valore is not one brand that people associate with good QC. :s13:

Valore call the China OEM: Make with our brand sticker and ship to us, then we sell
Don't get me wrong China Mechanical Keyboards are very good and cheap but it is stupid to buy a Valore branded 1 at X5 markup.

Just got buy 1 straight from taobao, enjoy the savings and the keyboard.

If the keyboard is good to use whatever chinese word printed on it also feels branded and magical. :s13:

My experience with taobao is that when the product is good the brand name also suddenly sounds prestigious.
I was cheapskate and bought a $5 one paint job wise not gd can see unevenness paint job but it is quite nice to type on it.
For $5 what do you want to complain about?
