The LK20 gaming keyboard from Lioncast provides improved ergonomics through its compact design, especially when using the keyboard and mouse simultaneously. By omitting the NumPad, the mouse and keyboard can be used with a natural shoulder width, allowing for more room for mouse movement. Additionally, the compact dimensions ensure improved mobility, and the mechanical keyboard takes up less space on the desk overall.
In game mode, the Windows key of the Lioncast LK20 is deactivated, preventing unintentional exits from the game. The mechanical switches from Cherry ensure unmatched accuracy in triggering and an extremely long-lasting gaming experience. In this variant, Cherry MX-Blue switches are used, which are tactile switches that provide a precise switching point along with a noticeable and audible click, making them ideal for frequent typists.
The LK20 keyboard can also be customized with four additional bright keycaps, which are supplied along with a keycap remover. The arrow keys and WASD are illuminated in blue with three brightness levels and can be deactivated, allowing you to easily find these important keys in the dark and avoid losing a game due to a lack of orientation on the keyboard. The integrated anti-ghosting with 13-key rollover ensures that up to 13 key entries are securely registered simultaneously.
An FN key can be used to switch the primary function of the F keys (F1 to F12) to the secondary function, allowing the function keys to take on the role of multimedia keys. The 1.8-meter long cable of the Lioncast LK20 with Cherry MX-Blue features a gold-plated USB plug. The mechanical LK20 comes with a wrist rest made of black foam, which can also be used to elevate the wrists.

Insgesamt macht die Tastatur einen guten Job ohne dabei besondere Features zu besitzen. So fehlt eine Makrofunktion und auch wenn eine Ablage für die Handballen vorhanden ist, ist diese nicht optimal ergonomisch. Dafür ist aber das Modell gut verarbeitet und bietet sowohl einen guten Anschlag als auch Druckpunkt, sodass auch Vielschreiber hier auf ihre Kosten kommen.
Die Tastatur erinnert in ihrer Machart stark an die Impact 500 von Turtle Beach, die wir hier ebenfalls getestet haben. Die LK20 kommt nicht ganz an Haptik und Druckpunkt der Impact 500 heran. Während das High-End Produkt von Turtle Beach jedoch für 130 Euro über den Tresen wandert, bringt die LK20 eine ähnliche Leistung für nur 80 Euro...
Auch die vermeintlich Kleinen können Produkte anbieten, die zwar in Asien gefertigt werden, aber die deutliche Handschrift eines deutschen Pflichtenhefts tragen. Zumindest finden wir es spannend, einmal keinen der üblichen knarzenden, wackeligen Plastikbomber in der Hand zu halten, beim dem jede Schraube den Cost-Reduction-Song singt...
