ProtoArc MECH K300 Mechanical Keyboard Video Review January 2023

 

Video summary

A first-impressions video on the MECH K300, built around the shortcuts and the macro recording rather than the shell. The reviewer runs it wired over USB-C first, then demonstrates the wireless modes: FN plus one of four keys switches between wired, 2.4G and two Bluetooth channels, so two computers plus a receiver connection are available without re-pairing.

The shortcuts he highlights are screen brightness, window tiling, desktop display, search, select all, copy and paste, keyboard backlight brightness and speed, clearing Bluetooth pairing history and locking Windows. He also covers volume and play/pause controls, and the macro recorder, which he suggests for repeated formulas or game actions.

Hardware notes: a three-mode mechanical office keyboard, 2.4G or Bluetooth, a number pad, separate Windows and macOS modifier keys, an on/off switch, charging, caps lock and number lock indicators, and a battery rated at 2000mAh in a space grey and black finish.

The MECH K300 has been discontinued. For a low-profile mechanical feel today, see our backlit keyboards, or browse the full keyboards collection.
