With the Trust Trezo there is a particularly quiet keyboard on the market. But can it also convince apart from the volume? MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested the set for you and explains in the test whether the Trust Trezo is worth it.
Many mechanical keyboards have one “disadvantage” and that is volume. Because here you can clearly hear the switches under the keys. So-called rubber dome keyboards are an alternative here: there is a rubber plate under the keys that takes over the strokes.
With the Trust Trezo, the manufacturer of the same name has presented a set of mouse and keyboard, which is said to be particularly quiet and is therefore strongly reminiscent of rubber dome mechanics. The manufacturer himself writes: “Work comfortably and silently with the quietest keyboard and mouse we have ever made.”
I took a close look at the keyboard and the mouse and will explain to you in the test whether the device could be worthwhile for you.
Features and technical details:
Scope of delivery, design and construction
What does the scope of delivery look like? The box contains the keyboard, the mouse, instructions, a USB receiver and a set of batteries for the devices. There is also an anti-interference cable (USB-A plug to USB-A socket) in the box.
It is commendable that the packaging materials consist almost exclusively of paper: the mouse and keyboard are in a cardboard sleeve and not in plastic. An exception are the batteries, which are then stuck in plastic. Otherwise I can throw the entire packaging in the waste paper.
The scope of delivery of the Trust Trezo. Everything comes in paper packaging, which is praiseworthy.
How is the keyboard structured? The keyboard comes in a black and gray design. The manufacturer completely dispenses with lighting on the Trezo.
Otherwise, the Trezo is a full-size keyboard with 144 keys. That means the keyboard comes with a number pad and special keys. The keyboard is connected wirelessly to the computer via an adapter. The receiver can also be easily stowed inside the keyboard.
On the back there is also a compartment for 3 AA batteries, which are also included in the scope of delivery.
processing
According to the manufacturer, the keyboard consists of 85% recycled plastic. Overall, despite the high proportion of plastic, it looks valuable and well made. There are no sharp edges or corners.
However, the meaning of the keys (numbers, letters and symbols) are only printed and not impregnated. With inexpensive representatives of this type, such as LogiLink, I often had the problem that the letters came loose or disappeared after extensive use. However, this did not happen during my test period.
The keycaps are made of ABS material, which is absolutely normal in this price range. PBT keycaps are not yet used everywhere in the gaming sector either.
Ergonomics and buttons
Ergonomics: Thanks to the integrated wrist rest, the keyboard looks ergonomic and the hands are at a reasonable height on the keys. Overall, the keys are fairly flat and not that high. It’s easy on my wrists when typing. The system keys are placed on the left where I can easily reach them with my left hand.
The button’s: The keys initially feel pleasant and can also be wiped off easily. Another big advantage: the keys are really inaudible. You can only hear it when you touch the plastic keys of the keyboard with your fingertips while typing. A noise that should never be avoided.
And seldom have I typed as quietly as with the Trust Trezo, thus sparing the nerves of my listeners.
I’m a little conflicted about the typing experience: In comparison, I also used the Roccat Magma or the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL, both of which rely on quiet rubber dome keys. With the SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL in particular, the attack feels more precise and accurate than with the Trust Trezo, but it can be heard more clearly. The stops with the Trezo always feel a bit spongy.
At my high typing speed with the learned 10-finger system, I feel this quite clearly and sometimes I like to make a typo. However, if you type slowly or do not master a fast system, you will hardly notice this with the Trezo.
