Penclic announces MK1 Mechanical Keyboard for Windows, Mac, and Linux

Mechanical keyboards are all the rage nowadays, and for good reason; whether you are a gamer or typist, you can experience improved accuracy and feedback using them. Quite frankly, once you use one it is hard to go back, as many modern keyboards are mushy and terrible.

Today, Penclic announces the MK1 Mechanical Keyboard. This model has some nice features, such as brown switches and backlit keys. My favorite aspect, however, is the key design -- the font looks funky; caps lock and shift are particularly unique . Even cooler? The "super" button does not have a Windows logo; Mac and Linux users should appreciate that. It would go great with an Ubuntu-powered System76 computer.

"Penclic's MK1 truly comes down to feel. It is comfortable and will stand up to rigorous use even during late hours spent at the office. Featuring brown mechanical keys, the MK1 is quieter, more tactile, and easier to trigger. The separate switch of each key allows for less typos when engulfed in endless emails and projects. As you quickly press each key, you see it registered immediately on your screen and the chance of missing a letter is much smaller. Pressing multiple keys at once will actually show up and instead of ghosting or disappearing. While the MK1 boasts a compact size, it also features a thicker build, making it more stable and prepared for longer use", says Penclic.

The company further says, "traditional of all Penclic products, the MK1 provides a great ergonomic working position. You don't have to reach far for your mouse and are able to minimize movement for greater comfort and less strain. The absence of the numeric pad in the tenkeyless design keeps you centered in position for better ergonomics. The arm rest will also improve your posture and even your reaction times, which all have an effect on your performance".
