Welcome to another I/O Sam’s Ultimate Guide! This time on the chopping block we have #TheKeyDotCo #Portico : TKC’s entry-level 65%, gasket-mounted, hot-swappable injection molded mechanical keyboard targeted at enthusiasts on a budget.
First, we’ll go through its design, quality, sound and software features. Then, we’ll play with the “Tempest Tape” and the “PE foam” mods to see if they can improve the Portico’s sound.
And finally, we’ll go through its pros and cons, and analyze how it compares to the ever-growing competition (NK65 Entry Edition, KBDfans KBD 67 Lite, Ikki68, GMMK Pro and Keychron Q1) in the red-hot market for entry level #MechanicalKeyboards targeted at [aspiring] enthusiasts.
In the sound test chapters, you’ll also be able to hear how the Portico sounds with different switches (TKC Tangerines, Cherry Hyperglides, Infinity Key Cows and Glorious Pandas) and keycaps (ABS and PBT), both in stock form and modded.
