![]() While the small instruction manual does provide handy details on how to adjust the RGB lighting (the Fn + Insert key) there’s no way to customize it to the user’s preference either. It feels slightly lacking that there are no ‘special’ functions this keyboard can use outside the robust amount of extra functions Discord lets everyone else use for FREE, including adopters of this mechanical piano. While the Kono Discord TKL touts itself as a Discord keyboard, there isn’t much else besides the carrying case, colourway, and customized keycaps to suggest compatibility. There are hundreds of keycaps this board is compatible with, so for those looking to flaunt a certain fandom don’t need to look much further, especially those that already have many customizable keycaps at their fingertips. Not to mention, the switches themselves are replaceable in case there’s a casualty while customizing the outlook of the weighty device. This keyboard is compatible with them! “The Kono Discord TKL is a beautiful device, equipped with a fantastically resilient case that can house a Nintendo Switch, the TKL, wires, games and maybe even another controller.” While these keycaps can be switched in and out at a whim, enthusiasts that have other MX-style caps are in luck. With the aforementioned keycap puller, replacing my shift key with the Discord-flavoured one was a cinch. The Kono Discord TKL comes with some custom Discord keycaps as an added bonus to the device. Even when gaming on the Xbox Series X, using a longer wire was good enough when the battery was on its last legs. Luckily, I use keyboards primarily plugged in, so it wasn’t much of an issue. This is with the included 2000 mAH Battery, which is an abysmally short time period for a primarily wireless keyboard, so those looking for a wireless TKL may need to look elsewhere for efficiency purposes. The only issue with the wireless functionality is that the device lasted approximately 90 minutes on a full charge. It feels like pinball games were made for keyboard usage, and playing Pinball FX on the Xbox Series X using this keyboard was an absolute blast and felt like this is how it SHOULD be played due to the responsive tactile switches and dampened keystroke noise. With Bluetooth 5.0 that the Kono Discord TKL comes equipped with, this keyboard was able to connect to everything I tried.Īn iPhone 14 Pro, the Xbox Series X, and even an LG Smart TV allowed the keyboard to connect seamlessly. When the keyboard is in wireless mode, you have to press the Fn key + Q, W or E to pair it with other devices. The Kono Discord TKL can be used fully wired or wirelessly at the user’s discretion by sliding the switch on the back to the left (Wired) or right (Wireless). It is a nice touch making less noise while storming through the trenches of a well-penned paragraph, especially without skimping on the tactile switches the keyboard came equipped with. The Kono Discord TKL saved me from many arguments with my partner, who LOATHED the click-clack sound of my previous keyboard. I can’t help but mention that there is sound-absorbing foam included in the construction, providing quieter keystrokes, which helps immensely with night noise pollution. The Kono Discord TKL weighs in at 2 lbs., 2 ounces, providing a solid structure and mass to the overall feel of the keyboard. “The Kono Discord TKL can be used fully wired or wirelessly at the user’s discretion by sliding the switch on the back to the left (Wired) or right (Wireless).” There is also solid RGB lighting that dances along the width of the keyboard, adding flair and brightness for nighttime raids. The plastic construction is solid, and there are small legs for the keyboard to stand on to offer a more comfortable tilt for taller users. This is an excellent choice for the modding community, as there is no need for a specific tool to get to the heart of the device, just good old-fashioned house tools. ![]() ![]() The chassis is made entirely of plastic, held together by Philips-head screws. The keyboard is your typical 75% TKL design, measuring 14 inches wide, giving plenty of space for mouse real estate.
