Conclusion

AVF Gaming Freak II AKB-GK1 Gaming Keyboard review has come to an end. The cable is fully sleeved with nylon braided which makes it somewhat premium looking. We are really satisfied with this model as the price tag of RM59 is really cheap and affordable for every entry gamer that look for affordable keyboard with lot of attractive features such as waterproof and 3 led colour with 4 brightness control! We even did submerge the keyboard into a 15m of dive underwater for photoshoot session and the keyboard emerges still working fine! But we believe that’s just luck XD.

For the user experience, we satisfied with the feeling of the keyboard even after a long usage as it soft enough to press and detect the input. The key is really silent as its barely to hear any sound produce from it. Kudos to AVF Malaysia to make such great product at an affordable price!

no users review for this keyboard?

So far none, im also waiting for others user comment about this keyboard

Just got mine yesterday at an ICT Fair for RM55 (normal price RM59). I feel like I'm using a normal keyboard only its backlit. Lacks multimedia keys that my previous keyboard has which is the only problem I'm having with it...

Of course its just a normal keyboard, did you expect mechanical keyboard at the price of SRP59?
Ya too bad they dont have multimedia button on the keyboard apart from 3 led backlit with brightness control and waterproof features

Planning to buy this but need more user review to decide. Haha!

i could say for that price its really worth it tho
where else you can find keyboard with 3 led+ brightness control and water with the price tag of that aha
Yet, i also eager other user to comment for this particular products experience

Yes, I agree it is a very good deal but I do not wish to compromise quality for beauty.

Totally agree with you
Hoping got other user sharing their experience for this keyboard

Good deal... just for the LED ._.

What's wrong with the LED tho, can you comment? other user found its interested coz got 3 LED and even can control the brightness
No other keyboard have this much LED and its function with that pricetag

I bought this keyboard from Tesco and it only cost RM49 lel. What I like the keyboard is the LED feature and premium look. As for cons, I feel the key is a bit small compared to my other keyboard especially the Enter button. Maybe I just have to get used to it. Other than that I am satisfied with it given the price that is pretty cheap.

If near Puchong you can go to their HQ.. below is the address
