more_vert
Hey guys, Gary Zhang from HAVIT here. Just wanted to share an article about the new mechanical keyboard we released recently, and the link is https://www.prohavit.com/blog/introducing-havit-hv-kb389l-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-photo-review/
A brief intro about this keyboard: this is an all white board that features Kailh Brown Switch, and it comes with 9 backlit modes, 3 backlit profiles, backlit configuration for individual key, and macro programmability without installing software.
And here are some photos I took, you can find more in the article.

nicepearI have had two mks with Kailh switches, one had been bad regarding feeling, the other one was great. Kailh switches are somehow doomed and not that much liked in the community, no matter what is going to happen.
I bet my bud, out of 100 people telling you they're bad, 90 people never tried them, welcome to the www.like/dislike hype train :)

@Cyphre Noted, I have forwarded your opinion to our R&D team, thanks for the suggestion. This is the first time we use Kailh, before then we use Outemu Blue Switch on our HV-KB366L (https://www.prohavit.com/products/hv-kb366l-mechanical-keyboard/) and HV-KB378L(https://www.prohavit.com/products/hv-kb378l-mechanical-gaming-keyboard/), so I am sure we will include more switch options in the future.

Thanks for all the replies. The keyboard is available on our website (https://www.prohavit.com/products/hv-kb389l-mechanical-keyboard/) and Amazon US(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GYMEHGA/) Canada (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GYMEHGA/) UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GYIZUHO/) and many other countries (just visit our website and click the Buy from Amazon button you'll find all the Amazon options). Our MSRP is $99.99, but you can find better price on Amazon.
The customization can be performed on the keyboard itself without using software. Personally I think this is a good thing for those who don't want to install additional software and using the keyboard on different computer often.
As for different version of switch, as this is a new product, so we currently only offer Kailh Brown Switch, but we will study all the feedbacks and decide whether we should release other switches

GaryZhangPretty sure you'll find feedback on every type of mechanical key switch currently available, which is why the response isn't as favorable with regards to Kailh switches. Key switches being the core of any keyboard, it is the first aspect when searching for what to purchase. Beyond that is customization such as LEDs, but this is rarely anything new to the market.

Can we get options with Blue or Red switches? Also would there be any compatible software available or ONLY controlled through the keyboard?
