The Turtle Beach IMPACT 100 is not your everyday gaming keyboard, there's a beast under the keys! Neither mechanical nor traditional membrane, this hybrid uses smart-guided keycap sleeves to emulate the sensation of a mechanical keyboard, but at a fraction of the cost. Patented 30-key rollover with full anti-ghosting means fast-moving fingers can control games without the fear of missed moves and dropped instructions. And steel reinforced construction ensures long-lasting durability and the high-quality PBT keycaps wont wear down over time.

Price keeps jumping up and down between £12-24 on amazon but the eBay link is still £12.99 delivered!
The backspace key on mine is twice the size of the one in the picture (it's wider than the enter key) - this is due to the backslash being in the right place... rather than next to the backspace!
I couldn't find an image but this image is of a different keyboard in the range that uses the same layout as the one I received.

Tiny backspace key puts me off. Good price though.

Just received mine - UK layout :smile:
edit: And so far I am extremely impressed.

Hope so, it's only a slight annoyance as I've had a few US keyboards in my time.
I'm currently using a German one (got it for £20.32 from Warehouse!) amazon.co.uk/gp/…ON4 , had to pull/move a few keycaps :smile: X)

I think the Amazon picture is wrong as their listing on eBay confirms the keyboard as "UK QWERTY layout", but mine comes today so I'll check.

These cheaper keyboards are interesting, though, and it's a great price. I have a "half-mech" that I bought from Amazon Warehouse for about £9. http://invisioncommunity.co.uk/2016/01/25/azolt-greformer-review/
Ended up I never used it, as Logitech had my (worn away keys after 18 months, sigh) gaming keyboard replaced under warranty.

Unless the Amazon picture is wrong, it looks as though it's US Layout.

Full anti-ghosting was what sold it for me.

I had mechinical keyboards but couldnt get on with them, went back to membrane and couldnt be happier (and richer) for it.

I disagree. Although you don't need a mech kb to be a "pro-gamer" it can certainly help to a degree. I find reactions are generally just quicker than a membrane keyboard due to less key travel.
You know what they say though, once you go mech, you never go back.

Why would anyone complain that a keyboard that costs £12 is not mechanical?

It will probably get some hate because it's not mechanical, but its a good deal. People assume you need mech KB's to be a pro-gamer, whereas in reality, any keyboard which is decent enough to allow multiple key presses at once is sufficient

Opening post
Membrane keyboard BUT keys are individually switched! Not many bells and whistles but what do you expect for £12.99?
Received 8/10 from Tom's hardware when it was $60 - cost £75 when newly released.
UK QWERTY layout.
