Freely rotating scroll wheel, for a quick and precise scrolling action. Pros: Adjustable resolution in 4 steps, ranging from low to extra high, so you always have that perfect sensitivity right at your fingertip. It is backlit with a pulsating light of rotating colours. The keyboard comes with a mouse, following the same style as the keyboard. The keyboard comes with a Function (Fn) key that helps with new extra commands, such as adjusting volume, opening your music player, muting your sound, stop playback, open email, and a few other keys which are right at your fingertips. It comes with the standard number of keys, with Num pad and additional ‘Insert’, ‘Delete’, ‘Home’ ‘End’, and ‘Page Up & Down’ keys. If you hold up the keyboard, you can see the underside of the keys. The Typing is smooth, with the audible clicking that you would think of with a mechanical keyboard, and it just feels nice. There is definitely, no backlight raving going on. The colors are static, and the ‘breathing’ option only allows the solid colors to turn on and off. It has a static light setting, and a ‘breathe’ setting that allows the soft backlights to pulse slowly, and yes, there is the option to turn it off.Ĭovering a spectrum of colors from red to green, it doesn’t cycle through the colors, and while that is fine for me, you might not like that. I can tell you now that I would get annoyed and tired of the keyboard within minutes. Strobe lighting and throwing down shapes like it was a Swedish rave, and my biggest fear was that there would be no way to turn it off. One of the things I worry about with backlit keyboards, at least from what I’ve seen, is that they have colors that jump around and dance. Doing a little research into the makers of EK-1 I found that SADES is a company that produces equipment for gamers and sells almost everything, from chairs to keyboards, to headsets. So finding a keyboard that lights up or has a retro look to it was right up my aisle.
I especially love tech and gadgets that have a unique look and feel to them. I usually use a Compact keyboard (which I bought for £5) that I have had for years, but I wanted to check out the feel of a different type of keyboard. Some of which are vibrantly designed, with flashing lights. However, I quickly started noticing the fantastic keyboards featured in these videos. The clicking keys in the background helps with my concentration. So, recently I’ve been listening to Keyboard ASMR.
