Tess65: The $65 Keyboard - Is the Race to the Bottom Worth It?

​​In this video, we take a deep dive into the Tess65, a budget-friendly mechanical keyboard by Divinikey and Modokey that starts at just $65. But what does this ultra-low price point mean for the mechanical keyboard community? Are we truly making keyboards better, or are we simply making them cheaper for the sake of it?

We'll explore the big questions: Why are we racing to the bottom? What problems is Tess65 trying to solve? Does it succeed in making the hobby accessible to newcomers? And most importantly, is this a board that beginners will love or just another keyboard to collect dust?
