The tested keyboard is equipped with HyperX Aqua switches, so maybe a couple of words about the used switches.
HyperX Aqua
HyperX Aqua key switches are tactile-style switches. Unlike linear switches, they have a slight bump in their travel path that helps gives the user confirmation of a keypress. Tactile-style switches fall between clicky switches and linear switches both in terms of their loudness and actuation force. They’re preferred by gamers who want a fast key switch, but prioritize accuracy over speed.
NGENUITY Software
NGENUITY software is worth to install and play with because it gives us many more additional options and control over RGB lighting. We can create our own profiles or use additional modes that are not available from the keyboard shortcuts. Unique modes are for example Twilight or Sun.
Of course, we can create our own profiles, and what is amazing, we can sigh speed and color to every single key or mix modes or highlight single keys that we use more often.
