Google Translate:
The keyboard is very high quality, only the fixing of the palm rest has something unstable if these often now and then builds, you should be a little cautious. Furthermore, the gold-plated connectors to mention and an integrated USB hub along with connectors for a headset. The multimedia keys and lighting is a good addition for a gaming keyboard. The Cherry MX Blue switches are reliable and accurate, however, is that not everyone has the quite loud click rejoice. When you write after a short familiarization a huge difference from a conventional one keyboard to remember is. Even in games you realize this. The palm rest provides perfect grip for the hand, as it is not too smooth.

Original:
Die Tastatur ist sehr hochwertig verarbeitet, lediglich die Befestigung der Handballenauflage wirkt hier etwas labil, wenn man diese öfters ab und an baut, sollte man etwas vorsichtig sein. Weiterhin sind die vergoldeten Anschlüsse zu erwähnen und der integrierte USB Hub samt Anschlüsse für ein Headset. Die Multimediatasten und die Beleuchtung ist ein guter Zusatz für eine Gamingtastatur. Die Cherry MX Blue Switches arbeiten zuverlässig und präzise, jedoch wird nicht jeder über das doch recht laute Klicken erfreut sein. Beim schreiben ist nach kurzer Eingewöhnung ein riesiger Unterschied zu einer Herkömmlichen Tastatur zu merken. Auch in Spielen merkt man dies. Die Handballenauflage bietet perfekten halt für die Hand, da sie nicht zu glatt ist.

Qpad MK-80 benämns i alla avseenden som ett gamingtangentbord, och det är alldeles excellent för ändamålet. Det är hållbart, det dryper av kvalitet och känslan att använda mekaniska tangenter ställer din preferens på sin spets

Fördelar:

• Kvalitativt bygge
• Oerhört skönt att skriva på
• Effektiv bakgrundsbelysning

Tech Power Up

The QPAD MK-80 keyboard is feature packed compared to the recently reviewed gaming keyboards on this site. Most of the additions are very welcome and the back lighting system works well except for the lock indicators.The key caps themselves are unique to the QPAD MK-80 due to the rubber coating employed. This makes the buttons feel softer than usual. Ergonomics wise the QPAD MK-80 keyboard is ahead of the pack, it has height adjustment and comes with a well-made albeit not great looking wrist wrest.

FRAGBITE

Så visst, man kan tycka att QPAD MK-80 är dyr, men i jämförelse med konkurrenterna just nu så framstår den snarare som kungen av mekaniska gamingbord och är i dagsläget min naturliga favorit.

Positivt:

• Full N-Key Rollover
• Känslan
• Hållbarheten
• USB-hub, ljudportar och LED-bakgrundsbelysningar av tangenter
• Stilren design

BrutalCS

Det är nu dags att summera alla fördelar samt nackdelar jag upplevt med Qpad MK-80. Efter en stunds betänketid kommer jag fram till att det inte finns några direkta nackdelar eller fel på tangentbordet. Det enda jag kan anmärka på är att bakgrundsbelysningen kunde haft ett läge som inte är fullt så ljust då jag tycker att det "sticker" lite i ögonen, men det är ingen "dealbreaker".

I slutändan handlar det hela om smak och tycke. Antingen kommer man gilla det eller så gör man det inte och det är just Cherry MX Blue brytarna som avgör det hela. Gillar du klickljudet kan detta vara ett utmärkt val utav tangentbord. Ogillar du klickljudet bör du kanske leta vidare.

Score 9/10

Qpad MK-80 er ment som et spilltastatur, noe det med sin svært god presisjonen og tydelige tilbakemeldinger egner seg godt som - gitt at du i holder deg mest til skytespill og spill som ikke krever mengder av ekstrataster.
Vi mistenker imidlertid at det tross alt relativt enkle tastaturet kan være vel så godt egnet for de som skriver mye. Dette er nemlig vel så mye et skrivetastatur som et spilltastatur. Qpad MK-80 har en tastefølelse og tilbakemeldinger som er langt foran selv avanserte membrantastaturer. Det gir en herlig nostalgifølelse, og fungerer ypperlig, å taste i vei lange artikler på det.

Qpad MK-80 Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard er et stilrent og ved første øyekast enkelt tastatur. Men det har en solid utførelse og noen overraskelser på lur. Integrerte lydporter og to USB-kontakter gir deg praktiske tilkoblingsmuligheter på en armlengdes avstand, og blått bakgrunnslys hjelper både med stilen og mot mørket.

REVIEW CENTER.de

Durch ergonomische Elemente wie den beiden Aufstellern oder der Handballenauflage lässt sich die Höhe der MK-80 von rund 2,5cm angenehm ausgleichen. Auch die Funktionstasten wussten zu gefallen. Mit einem Preis von rund 110€ befindet sich die Tastatur im normalen Preissegment für mechanische Tastaturen - andere mechanische Tastaturen sind teils deutlich teurer - beispielsweise die SteelSeries 7G mit 130€ Die Verarbeitungsqualität der Tastatur weiß zu überzeugen und dank der gummierten Oberfläche der Tasten ist ein Abrutschen nahezu unmöglich. Zudem sei darauf hingewiesen, dass man die QPAD-Produkte direkt von der deutschen Website des Unternehmens beziehen kann. Die aktuellen Trends lassen sich auf der deutschen Facebook-Seite verfolgen.Alles in Allem hat uns die Tastatur auf ganzer Länge überzeugt, weshalb wir an dieser Stelle einen Kauftipp für die Tastatur aussprechen möchten.

Mit der MK-80 ist QPAD definitiv eine gute Tastatur gelungen. Optisch kommt die Tastatur in einem dezenten, aber doch auffälligen Design daher und wird im Betrieb zum Blickfang. Anders als man es von vielen anderen Tastaturen kennt, sind die Tasten der MK-80 absolut gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet - 108 LEDs sprechen hier eindeutig für sich!

Score: Gold Award

PCWORLD.fr

Un clavier méca avec des switchs bleus, qui utilise de bons plastiques, a un design sympa et un hub pratique... Du tout bon ? Sauf que niveau bruit, c'est un cauchemar. Et qu'il est cher, très cher. A condition d'avoir les moyens, d'adorer ce type de switchs et de jouer avec un casque, pourquoi pas. Parce qu'il est quand même efficace et très agréable une fois maîtrisé.

8 Mechanical keyboards in round up by UK.Hardware.info

This keyboard feels very solid and is not easy to bend. To improve ergonomics it comes with wrist support. The keyboard has blue backlighting, with four different settings. Avid FPS-gamers can replace the WASD-keys with orange keys to make them more noticeable. The F1 - F6 function keys can be used to control media and sound, in combination with the FN key that replaces the right Windows key. In all, the MK-80 is a pretty good keyboard, and actually one of our favourites of this round-up.

Wir sprechen für die MK-80 eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung in Form unseres Kauftipps aus, denn solange die Nachbarschaft nicht unter der recht vorlauten Geräuschkulisse leiden muss, ist es ein mittlerweile erwachsen gewordenes Produkt.

compared to regular keyboards this one is a killer. It feels so great that I almost find myself typing on the keys just to feel and hear the keys. I've played Rage and Dead Island with the keyboard and it is just smashing for FPS games. I haven't tried any MMO or RTS games yet but I think it will work well despite what the expert says.
