The Vissles V84 is an amazing mechanical keyboard that feels both durable and responsive, while being easy to use across multiple devices.
The Vissles V84 is a high-quality mechanical keyboard that is perfect for extended work sessions, for precise PC gaming, and for those who want a long-lasting keyboard to use across multiple devices with minimal fuss. The V84 supports Android, iOS, and Windows devices, with wireless functionality that allows it to connect to multiple devices and quickly switch between them with the press of a button.
Straight out of the box, the V84’s size specifications are 316mm × 126mm × 39mm, weighing 842g. This makes the V84 heavier than most USB keyboards on the market, but that translates into durability and stability. It wouldn’t be easy to accidentally bend or break the V84, even if it was being kept in a shoulder bag all day. The V84 is compact enough to keep in a bag or briefcase, while still maintaining the functionality of a high-quality, multi-feature keyboard. Its durable keys respond to both light and heavy touches, making it easy to quickly touch-type without fear of not getting a response. The ergonomic design of the V84 is essentially flawless, with its sloped structure and spaced keys giving the maximum feeling of comfort and precision. The Cherry Profile PBT Keycaps used by the keyboard are highly resistant to grease and general wear, ensuring they will last a long time.
The V84 has both wired and wireless functionality, with 5.1 Bluetooth support for wireless mode. The keyboard connects to devices using a USB-C cable and it sets itself up instantly. The V84 recharges through its USB-C cable and it doesn’t rely on changeable batteries, like many wireless keyboards on the market. Bluetooth functionality is switched on and off using a switch on the back of the keyboard, and pairing mode is activated in seconds using the keys. The V84 can be connected to five devices at once and the user can switch between devices with a quick button combo press. This makes the V84 the ideal choice for people who have multiple computers at home, as it can easily be synced up to several PCs, phones, and tablets at once.
The V84 is a workhorse for typing, but it’s also gorgeous to look at, thanks to its RGB backlight behind the keys. There are 19 lighting effects in the V84, all with additional monochrome effects that can easily be selected with the press of two buttons. These range from brightly lighting up the keyboard with a rainbow of color, to reactive setups that respond to keypresses and send splashes of light across the board. People who enjoy an aesthetically pleasing keyboard for their work or game time will enjoy the presentation of the V84, especially as it’s so easy to switch configurations and brightness levels.
It bears mentioning that using the lighting on the keys will reduce the battery life in the wireless mode. A fully charged keyboard can run at full brightness settings for around 19 hours, while disabling the backlight or using it at its lowest settings will allow the keyboard to run for a staggering 180 hours. The two battery life options are generous and people who are forgetful about charging their devices needn’t worry too much with the V84. There is a Vissles V84 customization program available on the manufacturer’s official web page for the keyboard, which allows the functions of the keyboard to be tailored even further. One useful feature of the Vissles V84 program is a selection of game modes that let the player disable certain keys and keys combos, such as the Win key, preventing them from accidentally cutting away from the action with an errant press.
Those who need to use their keyboard for repeat actions can use the V84 to set up macro actions, which are a sequence of actions that can be recorded and repeated with a shortcut. This takes a little more work, as there are several button combinations that need to be used to record a macro, but once it’s completed, the user can have three sets of actions set up, all of which can be used with the press of a button. The process of recording the macro can also be refined by using the program mentioned above, which also makes it easier to add mouse clicks to the equation. The macro options won’t be of use to everyone, but they’re a godsend for those who will use the keyboard for work, making it even easier to use the V84 for extended periods of time.
The V84 comes with the Mac key setup out of the box. There are spare Win and Alt keys in the box for those who use Windows PCs. There is a keycap remover in the box that makes it easy to pop off any key within seconds. The keys clip-on with a push and stay on, feeling as durable as if they had come out of the box. It only takes a few minutes to switch the Mac keys with the Windows ones with the tool provided in the box. This is thanks to the Cherry Profile PBT Keycaps, which make it easy to snap new keys into place without soldering. The V84 also comes with a wrist rest bad that is the length of the keyboard, with two optional non-slip mats, which is the ideal comfort choice when sitting at a desk all day. There are also two magnetic foots that clip on the bottom of the keyboard, for those who want a little additional height when they type. These options are perfect for home office setups, while still being easy to take apart to make the V84 more compact for traveling.
Keyboards have become such a part of daily life that it’s worth spending more on a decent one, rather than relying on a cheap option from the supermarket, as even casual use will wear them down. The V84 is a worthwhile investment for many different types of users, as it’s a highly durable and responsive keyboard, which can easily be switched from a work machine to casual use around the home. If a keyboard has become a vital part of life, then there are few better options for its price point than the V84. It’s comfortable to use, aesthetically pleasing, has a number of customization options, and can fill any number of roles in a busy life.
