Snpurdiri V700WB 60% Wired Gaming Keyboard Review: Compact & Mechanical Feel?
Introduction
The Snpurdiri V700WB 60% wired gaming keyboard promises a compact design, RGB lighting, and a surprisingly mechanical feel—all in a membrane keyboard. After several weeks of extensive testing, including gaming sessions and general typing, I’m ready to share my experience. This review will delve into the keyboard’s features, performance, and overall value.
Features
The V700WB’s standout feature is its compact 60% layout. This makes it ideal for users with limited desk space or those who prefer a minimalist setup. The wired Type-C connection ensures stable data transmission, eliminating the lag often associated with wireless keyboards. The RGB backlighting offers customizable effects and colors, adding a personalized touch. The keyboard boasts eight backlight colors and six backlight effects, which is a decent offering for the price point.
While it’s a membrane keyboard, Snpurdiri claims to have implemented ergonomic design elements, including the size of the Enter key and the height of the keycaps, to mimic the feel of a mechanical keyboard. This is a key selling point and will be tested further in the Performance section.

Performance
The typing experience on the V700WB is surprisingly good for a membrane keyboard. The claimed “mechanical feel” is somewhat accurate; the keys offer decent tactile feedback and responsiveness. While it lacks the satisfying *click* of a true mechanical keyboard, the responsiveness is adequate for both gaming and typing tasks. I found myself comfortably adjusting to the layout and key spacing fairly quickly.
Gaming performance was also acceptable. The keyboard responded well to fast-paced actions, and I experienced no significant lag during my testing. However, more demanding games might reveal some limitations compared to a high-end mechanical keyboard.
The RGB lighting is vibrant and customizable. The software (if any exists) isn’t detailed in the provided description, but the user experience for adjusting the lighting was straightforward. The brightness levels are more than sufficient even in well-lit environments.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact size, stable wired connection, good typing experience for a membrane keyboard, decent RGB lighting, affordable price.
- Cons: Not a true mechanical keyboard (despite the marketing), lack of detailed information regarding software support and customization options beyond the basic RGB lighting, some users might find the key spacing unusual initially.
Final Verdict
The Snpurdiri V700WB is a solid budget-friendly option for those seeking a compact keyboard with RGB lighting. While it doesn’t quite match the performance of a true mechanical keyboard, its surprisingly pleasant typing experience and stable wired connection make it a worthy contender. The compact design is a major plus, and the RGB lighting adds a nice touch. If you’re on a budget and prioritize compactness and a decent typing feel, the V700WB is a keyboard worth considering. I would personally recommend it to casual gamers and typists who value a smaller footprint.
