    Introduction

    Lately I find myself coming back to a Tenkeyless (TKL) Keyboard as my daily driver and believe I can make a good argument that the TKL form factor is the perfect balance of size and functionality for any gamer. Today we will be looking at the latest 84 key mechanical gaming keyboard from Yeyian; the Yeyian Spark Series 2000 Gaming Keyboard.

    This keyboard is packed with features and targeted at a lower price point for budget minded gamers.  Let’s see if the Spark Series 2000 has what it takes to lure you to a TKL keyboard!

    Yeyian makes a wide variety of keyboards with a couple of different Mechanical TKL designs to choose from.  The Spark Series 2000 comes only in black plastic to keep costs down 357.8 x 134.8 x 34.7 mm (14.09 x 5.31 x 1.37 inch) and comes with a choice of red or blue Mechanical Outemu Switches. 

    One of the more interesting choices is the lack of a software suite.  All of the functionality can be configured directly from the keyboard.
