LowProfile

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends I’ve grown out of low-profile keyboards. After a stint with the Logitech G915, I was quickly swept up into the community of enthusiast mechanical keyboards, and I’ve winced at the sound of a low-profile mechanical keyboard ever since. Call me a snob, but it just hasn’t been my preference. So, it came as a shock to me that the Asus ROG Falchion RX LP managed to stay set up on my desk. I’ll move back to the keyboard I’ve tweaked every part of eventually, but the ROG Falchion RX LP makes a…

It's true that there are a dizzying number of keyboards available on the market today. There are Mac keyboards from all the usual brands including Logitech and of course Apple, but then there is the world of mechanical keyboards from brands that some might never have heard from. Spoiler — they're often some of the better ones on the market. But then there's Satechi, a company that you might associate with other products like its new 145W GaN Travel Charger or its Qi2 iPhone stands.The company is no stranger to making a…

No offense to the mechanical keyboard community, but I just don’t love traditional setups with tall keys. But when it comes to high-quality low-profile alternatives, pickings are slim. The best known options are Logitech’s MX Mechanical line, along with more recent entries from the likes of Keychron, Nuphy and Lofree. But none of them quite hit the spot. But at CES 2024, I may have found what I’ve been searching for in Monokei’s Systems.Featuring a 75 percent layout and available in either Cupertino Silver or Stockholm…

A second generation, often, is one of the best versions of a product. Depending on how close the first version got to being excellent, the second can take the time to build on the solid base and make something even better, fixing issues and introducing new features.The second version of Nuphy’s excellent Air75 keyboard is just that. It takes everything that made the first version good and then improves on all the little niggles for an epic on-the-go mechanical experience. It looks better, sounds better, and feels nicer…

Cherry is well-known as a pioneer in the keyboard space for its widely adopted mechanical switches. If you've dabbled in the realm of high-performance keyboards, whether it be for professional use or competitive gaming, you've heard of (and probably used) Cherry MX switches. And you may be well-versed in the distinction between the clicky, tactical MX Blues and the smooth, linear MX Reds (and the several variations in between). While the company hasn't historically dealt in keyboards itself as deeply as…

There's something really satisfying about typing on a low-profile keyboard. Not only do they feel more comfortable for long typing or gaming sessions, but they also help your wrists to be less prone to strain or pain.

In fact, both the keyboards are also a part of our list of the best keyboards for…

An MSI branded Intel Arc A380 graphics card has emerged online. It is the first example from one of the big three AIBs. Thus it is a significant find, even though the card is not available as a separate retail product, only as a component in pre-built MSI systems.MSI’s first Intel graphics card in the shape of the Arc A380 graphics card is a low profile, or LP, model. It seems an appropriate choice for its 75W design. We looked at previous MSI LP designs with Nvidia and AMD GPUs, and while many also use two small fans,…
