Features

This keyboard is programmable and has got full n-key rollover. It is possible to use it with both the AT and PS/2 protocol.

The black legends are mostly double-shot, while the Cherry key and LED-window keys are pad-printed and clear-coated.


Programming

Programming goes via the Cherry key. With the Layer key, it is possible to switch between 10 layers which can be programmed independently. Both switches contain super-stiff springs, to avoid unintended key presses. Further up is a 3rd key with that super-stiff spring: The Print ey. An earlier version of this keyboard had these keys in a less prominent but more suitable place: In the function rows.
