I'd like to thank Adtech Sales and Services for lending me the Tecware Q3 to review. The headset is available in their stores.

This is the Tecware Phantom Plus mechanical keyboard.
But first, I’d like to take a moment and thank Adtech Computer Sales and Services for lending me this keyboard, which is available for purchase at their stores.
The Phantom Plus comes in a sleek black design and is available in two layouts—tenkeyless or full-size.
Despite its plastic build, this keyboard has a satisfying heft and feels premium. Inside, you'll find several foam dampeners that add weight and help achieve that deep, rich sound.
The USB C to A cable is detachable for portability and customizability.
As for switches, you can choose from 4 variants of the Tecware Wraith switches: Orange and Brown tactiles, or Red and Pink linears, all of which are factory lubed.
if you want to roll with your own switches, the Phantom Plus is hotswappable, but you’ll be limited to only 3-pin switches.
The V3 stabilizers are also factory lubed and sound great out of the box, though some seem to have been overlubed and feel mushy.
The keycaps are doubleshot ABS plastic with excellent shinethrough, and has a little bit of texture for better grip.
Speaking of shinethrough, the built-in RGB effects are pretty sweet and bright enough to give you 5% more fps (for legal reasons, that’s a joke).
My nitpick here is that the Phantom Plus didn’t come with a manual in the box so I had to go on their website to learn how to change the RGB.
Overall, the Tecware Phantom Plus delivers a surprisingly satisfying typing experience, especially for a budget keyboard. At just three thousand pesos, you’re getting a lot of keyboard for the price—this one really punches above its weight. So, if you're looking for a prebuilt that performs and feels great, the Phantom Plus is well worth considering!
Good luck!
