KBDcraft Israfel is a wired 56-key, 50% ortholinear board with low-profile hot-swap switches, a hinge-split body and Vial programming. It is a far lower-priced pick than aluminum ortho boards.

What we liked

  • + 50% ortholinear layout with 56 keys aligned in straight vertical and horizontal lines
  • + Hinge-split design adjusts the angle of the board with up to 7 tilt options
  • + Gasket mount, hot-swap sockets for 3-pin low-profile switches, RGB and key remapping through Vial

Trade-offs

  • - Wired only, and the hot-swap sockets take 3-pin low-profile switches, not standard MX switches
  • - Listed as a full kit with a Lego-compatible case, and the listing does not say how much assembly is involved
