Review Fiio KB3 Hi-Fi Mechanical Keyboard Review: Where Headphones and Mechanical Keyboards Collide

[Admin]

The Fiio KB3 delivers a decent typing experience and sounds surprisingly good. While a “Hi-Fi keyboard” might seem a little silly on paper, it turns out to be pretty good in practice.

I have a hard time seeing the benefits here.

The pricing is decent for what you're getting, but it really needs to be complete out of the box. I saw this when they first announced it and thought it seemed like a decent idea since it integrates a KA13. However if you need to change the keyboard to match what you're looking for the value proposition is gone and the product doesn't make sense.

It's a pretty good keyboard with a built-in audiophile DAC and balanced amp. Nothing other than the Moondrop Dash currently offers that. A sound system and a keyboard in one, essentially.

I agree, but just want to be clear that there is definitely a full experience straight out of the box. The sound profile is very subjective. I felt the need to swap out the keycaps for the "best" experience but most people won't be as particular as I am about optimizing their sound.

I meant more the lack of options on the KB side being a problem than it not working as is. It was late and I totally didn't make that clear.
