Still, it’s the transparent aesthetic that’s the huge selling point here. The Phantom 81 isn’t completely clear. The plate, switch pad, and PCB board are non-transparent. However, every keycap and the case are clear. KiiBOOM even took to designing its own see-through switches, aptly called Crystal Switches, to complete the look.
One thing that’s missing here is an on/off switch. However, there are two toggles in the front next to the USB-C port, one for switching OS and one for switching the connection type . Next to these is the garage where the USB dongle is stored when not in use. The biggest performance issue we’ve seen on the KiiBOOM Phantom 81 is the fact that it takes a second for it to re-establish its wireless connection with the device it’s currently paired with when it’s been on standby for a while. But, while that can be irritating sometimes, it’s something we’ve seen from the likes of Roccat and SteelSeries.
The crystal switches are linear type switches, which we have to admit we’re currently partial to, and are satisfying and not at all fatiguing to type on. Unlike other linear mechanical switch keyboards, however, the Phantom 81 sounds and feels slightly different. That’s due to the gasket-mounted design that isolates the plate and separates it from the keyboard case. As a result, you’re getting less of that clickety-clack feeling and noise, and more of a quieter “thonk” and cushioned feel.
