This gaming keyboard is back lit with 7 changeable colours
which can be adjusted between: stable, breathing and off. The keys are back
lit, so is the white plastic surround and the brightness is adjustable.
This keyboard has 5 programmable keys which you can use to
record key strokes for short-cuts or to type short phrases.
It comes with a detachable palm rest, which makes for a very
comfortable typing experience. I did not feel the need to work out how it
detaches, but it is stated that this is removable. I found it tends to swing
under the keyboard if it is picked up.
The build quality is very good, the design and feel gives
the impression of a mechanical keyboard (which is probably why this is stated
in the product name). However doesn’t be fooled into thinking this is a
mechanical keyboard. It has rubber domed keys (which I actually prefer), not the
clicky keys that are associated with mechanical keyboards.
The keyboard includes many shortcut keys via the function
(Fn) key combined with the F keys. These included media play/pause,
next/previous track, launch calculator, launch browser etc.
The layout is QWERTY English UK, so the @ sign and “ are in
the correct places. Unfortunately keyboard does not have a full sized return
key, which is something I cannot do without as I always hit the top of this
when typing (which on this keyboard is replaced with #). Also a slight
annoyance is that the Fn key replaces the left Windows key (which is my go to
key for showing the desktop and opening the start menu).
In conclusion this keyboard would suit PC gamers and typists
alike. Typing feels comfortable and natural, but some learning is required for
the reduced return key and the lack of a left Windows key. The programmable
keys are very practical and do not take long to record to. The colour lighting
is a great extra and the mechanical keyboard feel gives it a high quality
finish.
