From past four months I have tried too many mechanical keyboards and tested from compact to full size. All have their capability and looks, but this one I got from the MechLands — the Blade75 out of all these, its compact look is exceptionally amazing and the typing experience really feels good. But this also has some limits, so let’s deep dive.
The MechLands Blade75 is a 75% wireless aluminium mechanical gaming keyboard. It features gasket mount with sound-enhancing materials, friendly tuned stabilizers with tri-mode connectivity and also has a 4000mAh battery come at a price of $99.
Unboxing
Items that we get in the Box:
- Blade75 Gaming Keyboard
- Key Caps/Switch Puller
- Braided High Quality UBS Cable
- Three Extra MechLands Verdant Switch
- A User Manual
All these things come with good packaging and the box design also gives a full gaming vibe.
Design and Build Quality
So far, let me make it clear— the build quality is solid. This is an Aluminium Build mechanical keyboard, and there are no compromises in the construction. But because of the aluminium, it’s quite heavy (1.65kg) which is a drawback. I recently reviewed the MechLands Vibe99, a 98% keyboard with a numpad and kickstand, and even that isn’t as heavy (1.14kg) as this. You’ll definitely feel the weight when holding it. Still, considering the build quality and longioability, it’s acceptable.
You will have two color options: Blue and the Black-Green. I have the Black-Green, and it’s a 75% compact layout with 81 keys. It features all function keys and some other shortcut keys like Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, and a volume rocker that allows us to control the volume.
The base set keycaps are black with green print, and the accent keycaps are green with black print. This color combination looks insanely great and yes, it’s way better than blue, because most keyboards use that color. This one feels fresh and unique.
The aluminium body has a shimmery, shiny design like a galaxy. On the front edge, below the footer center, there’s a button for the connectivity switch or power on/off, and a USB port. On the right side, there’s 2.4GHz dongle storage.
There’s no dedicated device switch button (Win/Mac), but you can switch using Fn + A for Windows and Fn + S for Mac mode.
On the back, it has a big glass piece at the center with just “MechLands” written on it no other branding, not even “Blade75.” I’ve seen many keyboards with a metal piece there, but this one uses glass, which looks great—but you’ll need to be careful not to break it.
Switch/keycaps and Typing Experience
Now let’s talk switches. It comes with a hot-swappable PCB, so if you ever want to change the switches, just pull them super easy. Plus, it has south-facing RGB, so no matter what profile keycaps you’re using, the lighting looks clean and bright.
The keycaps in the Black-Green set look insane. The base keycaps are black with green legends, while the accent keys flip the combo green caps with black print. This gives it a unique and standout look that’s way better than the usual blue sets you see everywhere.
The typing experience on the Blade75 is just next level. It has a gasket-mounted structure that makes every keypress feel soft and bouncy, almost like pressing into a cushion. Inside, there are multiple layers like sandwich foam, IXPE switch pad, and PET film that help with both comfort and sound. You’ll actually enjoy typing on this it’s smooth and sounds great too.
The typing sound is nice and controlled, thanks to the flex-cut PC plate and good stabilizers, theires No rattles or weird noises. It just feels solid and clean, whether you’re typing or gaming.
Connectivity and Battery Performance
- Hold Fn+Q/W/E for 3-5 seconds to toggle between buletooth 1/2/3 and pair.
- Hold Fn+R 3-5 seconds to pair with 2.4Ghz wireless mode.
The Blade75 supports Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired connections. I tested both wireless modes, and they work great—fast and responsive. Even on Bluetooth, typing feels smooth, though you might notice a bit of lag sometimes. But with the 2.4GHz or wired mode, everything works perfectly and feels precise.
- FN Key: Blinks in Red (Low Battery)
- Blinks Blue for 5 times (Charging)
- Blinks in Green for 5 times (Fully Charged)
It packs a big 4000mAh battery, which easily lasts for weeks even with RGB on. I used it for 6 hours in wireless mode with RGB backlight on, and it still had 66% battery left from 100%. So yeah, you’re not losing any game or match because of battery—it’s built to keep up.

Conclusion
After testing so many mechanical keyboards over the past few months, the MechLands Blade75 really stands out—especially for its solid aluminium build, beautiful Black-Green keycap combo, and smooth, cushioned typing experience. The gasket-mounted design, hot-swappable PCB and triple-mode connectivity make it feel like a premium package that’s both gamer- and work-friendly.
But keep in mind, this level of build quality comes at a price literally. At $100, it’s on the higher side, mainly due to that full aluminium body. It’s also heavier than most boards, which could be a downside if you’re looking for something portable.
Still, if you want something with a fresh design, great battery life, reliable wireless connection and satisfying keystrokes the Blade75 won’t disappoint. It’s a compact powerhouse that offers way more than just good looks.
The MechLands Blade75 is a premium, feature-packed mechanical keyboard with stunning design and a smooth typing experience—just be ready to pay for its full-aluminium build.
