Unlike other reviewers this tvs gold keyboard review is being written on a TVS gold pro keyboard. I have previously used only membrane keyboards by logitech, dell, frontech etc.
And this is one hell of a upgrade!
I bought thee gold pro from the local market for the price of 2770 INR.
Click -> store details and How you can buy too at a low price.
Whereas the gold pro keyboard was listed for 3770 INR online. Thus I saved around 1000 INR.
And this was a dec 2019 manufactured model also with 1 year warranty so no refurbished stuff. I am also planning on putting some custom keycaps later. You can easily change those.
My logitech keyboard has served me for 13 years though.
And once that died I decided to get myself a mechanical keyboard.
And I was bombarded with choices of RGB, fixed LED and TKL keyboards. Personally I hated those TKL keyboards.
But if you are not into buying bling then TVS gold bharat keyboards are the best choice.
Even if you play moderate to heavy PC games, you can get this TVS mechanical keyboards.

TVS gold bharat keyboard review
TVS gold keyboards do not come with cherry MX switches. All the TVS keyboards are made with chinese copy, long hua or Kailh switches.
This does not mean that these are bad.
Kailh switches are on par with the original cherry switches. And recently they have created their line of box mechanical switches as well.
If you can care less about the RGb lights. And if you want a full 104 key keyboard then buy TVS gold keyboards.
Read below to know my full review of each TVS keyboard and the switch used in them.

And I really needed a keyboard since the last one died.

He represents TVS electronics and is a very helpful guy.
Tell him your city and he will look for the local distributor in your area. Then he will send you the details and you can buy at lower prices than amazon.
If you have no dealers at your locality/city then get to the list above and buy from amazon.
My recommended two stores
Sevi computers at 16 ganesh chandra avenue, kolkata.
I bought mine from here. They are TVS dealers and can provide you with all the models of tvs keyboards.
There was also another TVS dealer nearby but they did not have the TVS gold pro which was I looking for.
After waiting there (Galaxy computech) for 20 minutes I saw that they only had TVS bharat gold keyboards.
So I visited sevy got mine tvs gold pro quickly.
My other recommendation will be Madit infotech, bangalore.
I chatted with them for a few minutes and they do sell the gold pro model. But it was in another city so I did not proceed but they seemed to be genuine.
