Not a fan of Cherry mechanical key switches? Meet the Kaihua Kailh alternative. Speedlink likely isn't the first name that springs to mind when you're shopping for a mechanical gaming keyboard here in the UK, but the German outfit has become a well-known brand on the continent having sold over 15 million game controllers since the company was founded in 1998.

Hoping to broaden its appeal, Speedlink is introducing the Ultor mechanical gaming keyboard to British shores. Priced at £70 and employing Kaihua Kailh switches, Ultor offers something different to the numerous Cherry-based options on the market and we've spent the last couple of weeks getting acquainted.
