Customer Review

Granted, this is not a big name on it as with other keyboards, but one has to bear no fancy-pancy frills, grab the other manufacturers in their keyboards to overpriced the boards for sale and will use any anyway here also. I have therefore decided to use the LK 30 with brown cherry buttons. For someone who has previously worked with membrane keyboards, the brown keys are ideal because they offer a good compromise between resistance, feedback and volume. If you have a long time does not use proper mechanical keyboard, the rather loud noise of the switch while at first seems strange, but you quickly get to know the advantages of the keys, and I will not miss after a few hours. The keyboard is also intended for gaming use and not for the quiet environment of an office. There, the keystroke could be quite disturbing.

The keyboard is very hard, so they simply can not slip on the table. The amount may be a bit strange if you had previously used only flat keyboards, but after some time you come so easily to right. Nor is supplied with a wrist rest that is not firmly connected to the keyboard and can therefore be positioned flexibly.

About the lion button on the top right can disable the three Windows keys, so you do not suddenly replaced by slipping or an incorrect key is pressed back to the desktop in the heat of the moment. Other special keys for volume control, and for the record, several macros are also available. The best part: you do not need software for it, all macros can be programmed directly via the keys.

Toll succeeded is the white key illumination, which can be adjusted brighter or darker in several stages. It is also possible to select different lighting modes, for example, all keys light up simultaneously and just battered radiate one second light, and then emit the same light as the other keys. The lighting, it is also completely off or illuminate only the WASD keys. Nice gimmick: an integrated microphone, an equalizer mode enabled, which responds to sounds and the key can light up accordingly. The light modes are incidentally also like macros set on the keyboard itself. The Shift, Num and Scroll Lock light up red when activated. Small drawback: due to design only the tops of the keys are illuminated. In the middle of the keycaps sits a pin which casts a shadow on the second assignment. Not quite perfect, but to get over.

The key caps of the German keyboard layouts do not have third-party allocation, ie {[]} @ ²³ etc. are not shown on the caps. Moreover, one should be clear, if you want to use the keyboard. In a pinch, there are keyboard layouts on the Internet to download and print, or the key assignment of a different keyboard to write off.

I am very pleased with the LK 30 and would buy me definitely be back.
