Amidst this February’s storm of big PC game releases, there’s one annual tradition I want to make sure doesn’t get overlooked: ZineQuest.

A $70/£58 keyboard that’s mechanical, supports both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, RGB-backlit, gasket mounted and hot-swappable must come with some compromises, right?
