Lenovo has released a new budget-friendly wired keyboard in China. The Legion MK2 is priced at just 99 yuan, which translates to roughly $14. At that price point, it is clearly an entry-level peripheral, but Lenovo has included a few practical features to make it a viable option for people who want one keyboard for both daily office work and casual gaming.
Lenovo Legion MK2 Specifications
Because it costs $14, the Legion MK2 does not use actual mechanical switches. Instead, it relies on a membrane design that Lenovo has tuned to mimic the physical feedback of tactile brown mechanical switches. The goal is to provide a noticeable bump when you press a key, giving you some physical confirmation of your keystrokes without the loud clicking noise associated with traditional gaming keyboards.
To make it functional for gaming, Lenovo included 19-key anti-ghosting. This ensures that if you press multiple keys at the same time during a game, the keyboard will actually register all of those inputs rather than dropping them.
The board features a standard, full-size 104-key layout. It keeps the dedicated number pad and the standard row of function keys. The keycaps are made from standard ABS plastic, but Lenovo used a laser-engraving process for the lettering. Physically, the keyboard weighs about 800 grams and includes dual-stage adjustable feet on the bottom so you can change the typing angle.
For aesthetics, the MK2 features 10 zone-based RGB lighting effects, including static lighting, flowing rainbow, wave, breathing, and other dynamic modes that can be switched using function key shortcuts. It also comes with dedicated multimedia hotkeys, allowing quick access to controls such as volume adjustment, mute, media playback, and track skipping without leaving your current application.
In related news, Lenovo has recently launched a 59g ultra-lightweight gaming mouse with the flagship PAW3395 sensor.
