Ajazz K620T 62 Keys Mechanical Keyboard Review

Are you looking for a portable wireless keyboard that you can bring on the go or use for your phone and tablet? We had the chance to try out the Ajazz K620T 62 keys mechanical keyboard. Let’s find out how it works.

Note: as of this post, the Ajazz K620T keyboard is not technically available for sale yet. It is still at the crowdfunding stage on Kickstarter.

The Ajazz K620T mechanical keyboard comes in blue or pink. Luckily, I was sent the blue unit for review. The keyboard supports both wired and wireless mode and can work with most operating systems, including Windows, macoS, Linux, Android and iOS. Linux is not listed in the supported OS, but I have tested it, and it works fine.

To get started, flip the button on the left side of the keyboard to BT (Bluetooth) mode if you want to connect via Bluetooth. Alternatively, push the button to the left to connect via wire.

For Bluetooth mode, the initial setup can be frustrating, due to the lack of indication on the keyboard. There is no Bluetooth icon on the keyboard, so it is all guesswork to figure out which hot key to press to trigger the pairing mode. The answer is Fn + Q , but it took me quite a while to figure it out. (The instruction manual was missing in my review unit, so I can’t just “RTFM.”)

It was only later that I realized that there are three pairing modes, with the hot keys: Fn + Q/W/E. What this means is that the keyboard can pair with three devices simultaneously and switch between the devices easily.

Once I figured out how to trigger the Bluetooth mode, the pairing process is fast and without issue. What makes this keyboard different is the inclusion of a trench at the top of the keyboard that can serve as a tablet/phone stand. You can insert your tablet on it and start typing on the keyboard. This is pretty handy for on-the-go usage.

The keyboard also comes with a volume scroll knob that you can turn to adjust the volume. This can be useful/useless depending on how often you need to adjust the volume. I do listen to music regularly while working, so the scrolling knob is handy for me.

This is a compact keyboard with only 62 keys, which means the directional keys, numpad and several other buttons are missing. To replicate the functionality of these buttons, you have to use the Fn key with other hot keys. For example, press FN + ? for direction UP, Fn + Right Alt for direction LEFT, Fn + right Ctrl for direction RIGHT and Fn + right APP for direction DOWN. If you are not used to a compact keyboard, you can find this to be quite challenging, as you need to rewire your muscle memory. Once again, there is no indication on the keys, so you really have to memorize the hot keys combination.

As for the backlight effect, there are a total of 19 of them, and you can cycle through them with the Fn + | hot key.

We have previously reviewed another keyboard from the same company, and I mentioned that I liked the fact that the keyboard switch is hot-swappable. The same applies for this keyboard. If you prefer a different kind of typing experience than the default, simply swap the switches. There is no need to de-solder or change a new keyboard. Simply swap the switches to your favorite switch type.

The keyboard has a 4400mAh battery and is slated to run for 880 hours (without any backlight effects). I haven’t really tested it for 880 hours, but it can last for a week on one single charge.

Conclusion

While there are plenty of compact keyboards out there, the Ajazz KT620 is one to consider. It is still in the Kickstarter fundraising phase, and you can find it here. The super early bird price is $59, and the early bird price is $69. Check it out.
