I have tested this product as part of the amazon testers program. On the packaging, very aesthetic and protective, but I had a little trouble opening the primary packaging (access from the side) the article is well protected. After unpacking I have not found the installation disc .. not dramatic, for against the keyboard is very aesthetic, and accompanied by nice little sticker Madcatz ;-) On the product itself, the keyboard is heavy and really well designed for the game, the flaw lies not handle attaches itself, it mechanically locks the keyboard if you put this one on a flat surface, otherwise impossible to maintain. So if you're a freak I play with the keyboard on my lap, do not count on the palm grip. The installation of the keyboard was very simple, it connects to the USB port and no installation disk, windows 7 launched the download of driver and software. As I did not have the drive I was before plugging the Madcatz site where I could download the software and driver (attention, as without this problem, there is a reversal in The title of the driver files ... this is actually the software and vice versa). Once installed an icon is placed on your desktop and yay software that allows the settings appears. Before using the keyboard I tried to understand the settings (the bazaar is in English), I found a video tutorial proposal (nice) I clicked on it and no luck, I have a nice comming which soon appeared (no tutorial) another tab offered a leaflet, so click and no bowl another comming soon ... a third tab provides load the Quick Start Guide (supplied with the keyboard), the good bin load it but hey it is useless ... Intuitively I was able to access the settings default softkeys and the surprise, the software provides a default setting for about 25 games including Call of, star wars old republic, wow, etc .. The program concerns 7 Key modes on the top left of the keyboard and C keys around smartly placed arrow keys in the central block. It is easily possible to customize them to the sauce personal, whether the settings proposed for the set list included not for you. Other clever little trick of the manufacturer, the keyboard is backlit and backlighting is adjustable (Fn key + lamp and lampe-) if you set the backlight to minimum, only the qsdc remains lit keys and arrow keys which allows fine to identify if we want appropriate not to be bothered in the game by the backlight. Other precision, the usb cable with a length quite satisfactory (a good twenty meters) for playing on flat surface or lap.
