We’ve told you about all the high end features on this keyboard, but how do they impact functionality? The dual layer PCB ensures greater longevity as well as flawless command transmission. Plate switch mounting (switches are mounted to a plate rather than just the PCB) increases durability dramatically since the stress of your rage-induced keyboard smashing is on a plate and not the PCB directly. Cherry MX mechanical switches feel excellent while typing and with three different types to choose from, you’ll be able to find the perfect match for your typing style. NKRO means you can press as many keys as you want simultaneously and your computer will be able to read them without issue (very useful for games). And finally, those four Dip switches on the back allow you to customize your functionality an optimize for gaming, word processing in emacs, or use with OSX.
