CONCLUSION

   Last year we tested the Blademaster TE by DREVO which ended up being a very good tenkeyless model so when the Tyrfing V2 arrived shortly after that we knew that DREVO wouldn’t let us down and they haven’t. The top brushed aluminum plate, the 14 available lighting effects and the easy to use keyboard engine software certainly steal the show and are the primary selling points of the Tyrfing V2 but the OUTEMU RGB Blue switches are also very good (although some people may not like their somewhat strong/loud audible feedback) as is the entire build quality of the keyboard. Granted it would be nice to see a Tyrfing V2 with Cherry MX RGB mechanical switches but keeping cost down is very important for such keyboards so we really can’t complain (besides there are countless models using OUTEMU switches out in the market today).

    At the end of our review the Tyrfing V2 RGB Backlit Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard by DREVO retails for just USD59.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 57Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which at least for us is very fair. At the end of the day it all comes down to whether or not you’d like a tenkeyless model on your desk and of course just how much you’re willing to spend on one. Still if you are on a somewhat tight budget the Tyrfing V2 could be exactly what you’ve been looking for and since it delivers on everything it should it deserves our Golden Award.
