Mars gaming mk4 review in Spanish (full analysis)

Mars Gaming MK4 marks the debut of the peripheral manufacturer in the field of mechanical keyboards geared towards video game players. It is a full format keyboard that comes with a very aggressive sale price and the Outemu buttons in its Red and Blue versions so that each user can choose the one that best suits their needs.

First of all, we thank Mars Gaming for the trust placed in ceding the product to us for analysis.

Mars Gaming MK4 technical specifications

Unboxing and design

Mars Gaming MK4 follows the trend of this manufacturer's products by arriving with a fairly colored cardboard box dominated by black and red, the brand's corporate colors. Packing says a lot about the care that a brand puts into its products and Mars Gaming never disappoints in this regard. In the box we can see a great image of the keyboard and its most important characteristics such as the Outemu mechanisms, the double layout in English and Spanish and its RGB FLOW LED lighting system stand out. On the back, all its most important technical specifications are detailed in several languages, including Spanish. We open the box and find the Mars Gaming MK4 keyboard very well protected by a plastic bag and two pieces of foam so that it is well attached and does not move during transport.

Finally we have in front of the Mars Gaming MK4, it is a full-format keyboard that includes the numerical part on the right, making it ideal for all types of users, including those who need to make extensive use of the numerical keyboard. It is the first mechanical keyboard of the brand and they have put a lot of care in its design to offer users an excellent alternative in a very tight market. The keyboard reaches dimensions of 439 x 134 x 41 mm and weighs 930 grams, it is a fairly compact unit since it is difficult to see a full mechanical keyboard below 1000 grams in weight.

The aesthetics of the Mars Gaming MK4 is quite attractive and its design combines the use of plastic in a majority way although the upper part is aluminum to give it a better final finish. To achieve such a compact and lightweight design , any trace of the wrist rest has been omitted, so users accustomed to its presence may not feel comfortable with this keyboard. In the upper right part, the brand logo has been included along with the LEDs for the gaming mode, the caps lock and the keypad lock.

The keys of the Mars Gaming MK4 are manufactured with a dual injection process and have a quite peculiar design in which the ANSI layout is combined with Spanish, so it will be a highly recommended keyboard for users who must work simultaneously with both. distributions, this has seemed to me one of the most interesting aspects of this keyboard and surely many users take advantage of it.

As for the technology under the keys, we find the Outemu switches of Chinese origin and which are one of the best alternatives available to the Cherry MX that would have significantly increased the manufacturing cost of this keyboard. In our case we have the Outemu Red version with a maximum linear travel of 4 mm and 2.1 mm for its activation point. Their activation force is 47 g of pressure so they are very soft and pleasant to the touch. The durability of these mechanisms is beyond doubt with their lifespan of 50 million keystrokes.

The Mars Gaming MK4 is also available with the Outemu Blue switches for users who prefer them since they are more focused on writing while the Reds are focused on video games.

In the back of the keyboard we find a simple and flat design in which only the legs that serve to lift the keyboard stand out.

Finally we have the gold-plated USB connector to improve contact and prevent degradation.

Mars Gaming MK4 has Plug & Play configuration and does not require any management software, all configurations are made on the fly using key combinations, something that saves the cost of software development and allows greater compatibility with all operating systems.

Mars Gaming includes the company's RGB FLOW LED lighting system that is quite configurable using key combinations. This system allows you to configure lighting effects with up to 9 effects, including lateral RGB flow and profiles for games. It is a very simple lighting system that does not allow us to adjust the intensity of the color or put the entire keyboard in the same color, however it serves to improve aesthetics and help us see characters in the dark.

Final words and conclusion about Mars Gaming MK4

Mars Gaming MK4 is surely the cheapest mechanical keyboard in Spanish that we can find in the market with a Spanish guarantee. Despite being a very economical product, we believe that the brand has done an excellent job offering a very careful design, a special mention for the double layout, which will be very important for some users who need to work with both distributions at the same time. of keys. The only "downside" to this is that the design is ANSI and not ISO so an adaptation period is needed and at first more wrong clicks will be made.

The overall design of the keyboard is quite robust, although logically it cannot be compared to models that cost more than 100 euros, this should not be a problem since in normal use we will not notice any difference.

As a final conclusion we can say that the Mars Gaming MK4 is an excellent option to get a mechanical keyboard in Spanish for a very low price, it is currently on sale for an approximate price of 45 euros, which makes it a difficult option to beat. Few flaws can be put to such an inexpensive keyboard.
