The click and bump tactile feedback lets you know the actuation point with a typing experience similar to a typewriter. The MODA v2 reduced actuation distance and lower force can help minimize typing fatigue for long typing sessions, writing reports, writing your next great novel, and allow PC gamers to quickly input and receive quick feedback where actions per minutes are crucial to dominating their opponents Nixeus certified mechanical switches have endured and are perfect for office work, long or fast typing sessions, gaming and other applications that demand an ultra durable keyboard.

[SPONSORED] Nixeus Moda V2 Mechanical Keyboard Review

review by ramzinho

Nixeus introduces their successor to the prior Model the Moda. The Nixeus Moda V2 Mechanical Keyboard.

What Comes in the box.
1- Nixeus Moda V2 Mechanical Keyboard.
2- Warranty Card.
3- Quick Start guide.
4- Plastic Key cap puller.
5- Extra set of key caps for Mac users.

1- The Packaging:
The packaging is very well executed with the keyboard laid between two soft foam protectors, underneath the keyboard you get the warranty card and a quick start guide and some pleasant surprise for mac users with extra MAC keys


2- The Keyboard:
looking around the keyboard it feels very solid weighing a little bit above 2 lbs, There is a steel plate reinforcement beneath the top cover that give the keyboard that premium feeling with no flex at all.


At the back of the keyboard there are two riser feet with rubber ends to enhance the stability and make sure that keyboard won?t slide when action starts
to happen.


3- Functionality and features

They Keyboard comes with all standard switch colors ?Red, Blue and Brown? made by Kailh which is a very good switch it's just a little bit heavier than the cherry switches.


And according to Nixeus the keys are rated for 50 million key strokes. The forces for The Kailh switches used by Nixeus are :
  • Blue Key (Clicky Tactile) Actuation Force: 60g? 15gf
  • Brown Key (Soft Tactile) Actuation Force: 55g? 15gf
  • Red Key (Smooth Linear) Operation Force: 45g? 15gf
The Keyboard uses MX stablizers for better typing on the large keys


The Keycaps are the standard ABS keycaps found on most mechanical keyboards. While the stem is compatible with all cherry keycaps giving you the freedom to install any set you wish for.

The Keyboard is fully compatible with both Windows and Mac OS, For Mac users, simply use the Alt key in place of Option, and the Windows logo key in place of Command or if you would like you can also change the key layout on the Mac OS

Just because this is not a back lit keyboard doesn't mean it doesn't have some flair into it. Windows key is lockable by pressing the Fn + Windows Key and has a blue led lighting beneath it which gives this keyboard a personality. N-Key Roll over is supported by holding the Fn Key + F9. While the Function keys F1 through F7 are used for Media Control.


Finally the USB connector is gold plated which in my opinion should be industry standard right now.

Pros and Cons

Pros:
  1. Very Well built. this thing can kill a person.. Please don't hit your teammates in lans with it.
  2. Affordable competitive price.
  3. Compatible with Both Windows and Mac out of the box, Hassle free, Software free
  4. N-Key Roll Over, Windows Key Disable Mode, Multimedia functions
  5. Small Form Factor makes it perfect for lan parties and portability.
Cons:
  1. No Braided or detachable cable
  2. Not fully backlit.
Conclusion
The Nixeus Moda V2 is a built to compete with the market's giants offering very solid build quality, Plug and play, small form factor for that extra space and portability in lan events.

I my self don't care Much about backlit keyboards so for me that's not a con and the non detachable cable actually adds a bit more security to the keyboard while moving it around. I'd score this keyboard 9.5/10 just because i love braided cables
