5,000 won Daiso keyboard, is it really usable? A full comparison of value-for-money membrane keyboards!I personally purchased three types of 5,000 won Daiso keyboards and conducted a detailed comparative analysis of their typing feel, finish, and features. From products that showed unexpected quality despite their low price to those that were disappointing, I clearly outlined the pros and cons of each keyboard, providing a clear buying guide on which product is most suitable for users.
1. 🤔 5,000 Won Daiso Keyboards, Are They Really Any Good?
· Recently, I noticed high interest in Daiso keyboards from shorts, so as a keyboard YouTuber, I personally purchased and reviewed three Daiso keyboards.
· While the keyboards sold may vary by Daiso branch, I selected the most promising-looking products.
· Believing there would be more interest in 5,000 won keyboards than 90,000 or 100,000 won keyboards, I will briefly and clearly explain if they are worth it and which product is the best.

2. ⌨️ First Keyboard: Two-Tone Wired USB Keyboard (Black & White)
· The price is 5,000 won, and it has a black and white mixed design.
· There was a housing defect where the entire product was bent, but this might be a unit-specific issue.
· It's a full-layout, low-profile membrane keyboard, giving off an old office keyboard vibe.
· The typing feel was surprisingly tactile and good, and it was the most satisfying among recently released membrane keyboards.
· It features an ISO layout with an L-shaped Enter key and Korean legends.
· The durability feels like a plastic board, not great, but it has height adjustment feet.
· Input is normal, and response speed is not bad.
· It lacks modern features like anti-ghosting or Windows/Mac compatibility.
· Rated around 4 out of 5 points; excluding the bent housing, it's a very satisfying product for the price.

4. ⚪ Third Keyboard: USB Type Wired Keyboard (White RGB)
· This is a membrane keyboard with a higher profile, not low-profile.
· This product also had a slightly bent housing, which is presumed to be due to shrinkage during the heat treatment process of the thin plastic cross-section.
· It features an ISO layout with an L-shaped Enter key, similar to the first keyboard.
· The Enter key protrudes downwards, creating an old-school gaming aesthetic, and it's the only Daiso keyboard with RGB backlight functionality.
· The finish is disappointing, with the manufacturer's brand sticker attached crookedly.
· The typing feel is the worst of the three, giving a stiff, sticky sensation like pressing hardened gum.
· It has RGB effect shortcut keys, allowing for various mode changes.
· Rated around 2 out of 5 points; it's not satisfying apart from the RGB feature.

5. ⚙️ Stabilizer and Internal Structure Analysis
· Due to the structure of membrane keyboards, stabilizer quality is inherently difficult to achieve, but considering the 5,000 won price, it's a decent level.
· Among the three products, the first keyboard's stabilizer condition was relatively the best.
· Upon checking the internal structure, it was found to have individual rubber domes for each key, unlike modern membrane keyboards.
