What weirds me out more is seeing the phrase "Amazon Basics keyboard ".

You've established the article is just about the Amazon Basics keyboard; just refer to it as the keyboard for the rest of the story.

Way too clickbaity/SEO method of writing it.

I did that because I talk about other keyboards through out the article and when people skim it gets hard to track what "their" or "the" really means (especially if they are clicking links).

If you do a search for "the keyboard" you'll see I use that phrase 9 times and "their keyboard" twice. When combined together that's more often than I use "Amazon Basics keyboard", so I'm not just spamming phrases for SEO. If anything doing that will de-value your page rank for keyword stuffing.

I mentioned the keyboard by name the least amount of times to keep the article skimmable and making it clear that when you click a link, it's leading to that keyboard. In other words, it's a UI feature not a bug!
