Aluminum frame. Dim aluminum keys carved by laser on K60 and K90 give longer lifetime.
Anti-ghosting. With this feature, pressing multiple keys doesn’t matter. With
ghosting, when you press two keys at the same time, a keystroke from the third
key is also recognized. It is not a problem with Vengeance keyboards.
Cherry MX Red keys. These special keys are really sensitive, easily allow double and triple
keystrokes.
“Both
keyboards have Cherry MX Red switches, which has the lightest start in Cherry
mechanical switch”, Kwong said.

while K90’s is 0.94 x 19.76 x 6.42 inch (24 x 502 x 163mm). K90 is wider
because of macro keys.
KRO (Key roll-over). These keys have 20KRO settings, on behalf of the number of keys
which could be pressed simultaneous while recognizing all keystrokes. 20KRO is
the highest available indicator on USB keyboard.
This feature is combined with anti-ghosting to provide suitable result for
gamers.
“Both
of them are significant features which allow multiple keys to be pressed, even
when fast actions cause rolling problems and prevent wrong keyboard request
from happening”, Kwong said.

contacts.

Macro profile keys. You can recored K90 macro (by using MR buttons) and convert between 3
macro profiles (M1, M2 and M3). These macro profiles along
with 18 macro each key bring 54 macro which could be programmed.
“It
is becoming more important when games require players to perform more button
combinations, ask to access more quickly and play various roles, especially in
teamwork”, Kwong explained about including 54 macro options with K90.
Windows
lock. Along the top
of K90, there are two small buttons, one will lock
Windows and another control the intensity of LED. Four different levels of the
backlight are allowed. K60 doesn’t have LED button but it gets a Windows lock.
Macro keys. With K90 keyboard, you will access to 18 keys which can be adjusted
with macros that are able to be programmed. There is no LED backlight with
these keys. K60 doesn’t have macro keys because it’s not important to use in
FPS games.
“MMO/RTS
players expect more macro keys and key combinations to improve game skill,
whilst FPS gamers like action/movement keys to be more comfortable in smaller
space”, Kwong said.
LED backlight. K90 composes of a green LED backlight which can be adjusted to help you
easily see keys in the dark. Combining LED backlight with the fact that keys
are not surrounded by the case, and green LED backlight
makes them more outstanding in the air.
Safe wrist room and efficiency. The wrist room of K90 helps to use Vengeance
keyboard more comfortable during many hours of playing game. Wrist room of K90
expands the length of the keyboard and can be attach to the position or twist
by two nails to be more stable.
