The remarkable feature is keys that are lighted background
with many useful options about the way that these keys lights up.
Keys are decorated due to the type of smooth shell that is
used for typing by fingertips. Characters and words are dipped in white and
half-cloudy plastic cover. This thing allows light of specific LED light below
to go through.
Keys are decorated
due to the type of smooth shell that is used for typing by fingertips.
Our type of keyboard has Cherry MX Red switch that brings fast
and smooth action. “Highlight” is set up rather highly, so only with a soft
press, you will succeed although regular wrong typing means that author of this
article doesn’t consider it the fastest keyboard to type.
Frame that is made of cloudy and black plastic is very hard.
It is sufficiently large; it has a keypad with 10 numbers on the right and Fn
keys that are all over on the top.
It doesn’t have hub USB; however, it has one Micro-USB 2.0
gate and 1.5-meter cable. This tidy design means that you can use shorter cable
to reduce confusion on desk.
The interesting thing really begins when you type Fn and
F10. We tested a light blue model. It also has green, white and purple
versions.
The first press lights up Qwertys, line of punctuation and
number; the second press lights up all of the keys and the third press puts
keys in pulse mode with low lights that light up and grow dim in 5-second
period.
The fourth mode is Reactive that can work best in dark. All
of the lights are turned off until you press one key that temporarily lights
up. It’s difficult to realize, especially because your fingertips hide light
source and at the time when it lights up.
To people who admire Knight Rider, the final mode
sets up Fn key into a chain of light that pursues side by side. It is
worthless, but it has a strange beauty.
You can adjust performance of light and 4 DIP switches allow
modifying more. People who type Unix can change Ctrl and Caps Lock for example
while people who use Mac can swap Windows and Alt.
