You probably know just by looking at it if the Classic-TKL Underscore Edition<\/a> is for you. Do you want a retro-looking wired keyboard without a number pad? Great. Do you care that it doesn\u2019t have wireless? Perfect. Do you want it preassembled? Buddy, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Nathan, you might say, preassembled is the regular way to buy a keyboard<\/em>. That is the baseline expectation. Most people buying a cake expect a cake, not a box of cake mix. And that\u2019s true, for most people and most keyboards. But until now, the Classic-TKL has only been available as a bare-bones kit, and now you can buy one ready to go, with quality components, for less than the price of doing a similar build yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re like me, figuring out what keycaps, switches, and stabilizers to use, then putting them all together, is a big part of the fun of mechanical keyboards. But if you just want something to type with that looks retro and sounds and feels nice, without having to build it yourself \u2014 or if you were going to use classic beige keycaps anyway \u2014 then the Underscore Edition might be up your alley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
