VTER Galaxy80 Pro

The VTER Galaxy80 Pro is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard designed for users who want a durable aluminum build with versatile connectivity and a smooth, cushioned typing feel. It suits enthusiasts who value hot-swappable switches and customizable RGB lighting, as well as those needing quick mute access. Its wireless and wired options make it adaptable for different devices and environments.

Key Features

• Hot-swappable sockets allow easy switch replacement without soldering, supporting customization and maintenance.
• Includes an F13 key for one-click mute, enabling instant volume control without software.
• Offers dynamic RGB backlighting with 19 effects and 16 million colors, adjustable via key combinations for personalized lighting.
• Supports three connection modes: wired USB Type-C, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth, providing flexibility across laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Build Quality

The keyboard features a CNC-machined aluminum case, contributing to durability and a solid feel. Its gasket-mounted structure uses a cushioning layer between the plate and case, which softens keystrokes and reduces typing noise.

Typing Experience

Equipped with linear Feker Marble switches, the Galaxy80 Pro delivers smooth, quiet keystrokes with moderate actuation force. The gasket mount adds a soft, elastic feedback, making typing comfortable over extended periods. The keyboard’s sound profile is subdued, suitable for shared or quiet environments.

Connectivity

Users can switch between wired and two wireless modes depending on their setup. Wired connection ensures stable input for gaming or work, while 2.4GHz and Bluetooth offer cable-free convenience for mobile devices. Switching modes requires manual selection, which may interrupt workflow briefly.

Trade-offs

• The unique glitter design is not shown in product images, which may affect buyer expectations.
• Battery life and wireless latency details are unknown, which could be a consideration for wireless users.
• Tenkeyless layout lacks a dedicated number pad, less ideal for users needing frequent numeric input.
