For everyone else, there are probably better options on the market.
If you love mechanical keyboards and use Discord, what could be better than something that combines the two?
Is the idea of a Discord keyboard the dream for every gamer?
Or should you spend your hard-earned pennies on a different mechanical keyboard altogether?
Talking plastic, there’s a lot of it.
The whole construction is plastic, from top to bottom.
It’s finished with a Discord logo stitched to the top.
One thing I noted (and have seen others note) is that the Discord logo arrived… dirty.
It’s easy enough to clean, but it’s not a good look.
There’s also a handy keycap and switch puller, too.
Kono Discord TKL Battery and Connectivity
The Kono Discord TKL comes with both wired and wireless connectivity.
Wired comes through the included USB-C to USB-A cable (matching the color scheme, naturally).
You’ll find the wired/wireless switch underneath the board.
The 2,000mAh battery is also decent but not exceptional.
We were sent a model with Gateron Brown switches, which deliver a nice, tactile typing experience.
But being a hot-swappable keyboard, you could easily swap your switches out for something different if you desire.
The switches are very easy to remove and replace.
The Tai-Hao double-shot ABS keycaps are also a nice standout feature.
We have the dark set, which works well with the dark plastic construction of the keyboard housing.
Kono Discord TKL RGB and Customization
Now, here’s the rub.
Those keycaps are cool and bring the visual side of the keyboard together.
As far as I can tell, the integrated functions of the Kono Discord TKL are set in stone.
But overall, it seems like Kono and Discord missed a trick here.
Should You Buy the Kono Discord TKL Mechanical Keyboard?
The Kono Discord TKL mechanical keyboard is an interesting but somewhat difficult sell.
