Hey guys,
Today we came up with something different, and we have reviewed a tech product for you. And as the title have indicated, this product is going to be the GXT 280 LED Illuminated Gaming keyboard from Trust. I have purchased this product about 2-3 weeks ago to improve the tech I’m using. And ever since it has been under high workloads. So let’s get started.
A billentyűzet a következőképpen néz ki:
Unfortunately, and so far this is the only drawback so far, the USB cable, is not covered in fabric, it is only the standard plastic one. With a length of about one – one and a half metres. The keyboard as well is made out of plastic, but the quality of the material gives you the premium feeling. All of the keys have got and LED backlight, and also the GXT 280 logo in the middle benefits from that as well.
Although it is not RGB backlight, as you can only choose between 3 color options, and a completely switched off position. The current ones are more than enough for my personal use. The three colors as the picture shows are red, green, and yellow.
The brightness has also got three settings, one dimmed, one in the middle as an average, and a bright one. The dimmed is good enough for use throughout the day, as it gives an edge to the characters, and for night time usage, depending on your own setup, I’d go with the bright. As in that case you wouldn’t need to use another light source to see all your keys.
The input is picked up by membrane sensors, which would provide a silent performance, and also a good tactile feedback, with a response time of just 20 ms. So if you’re using it for administrative tasks, or as in my case for programming, it would be more than able to cope with you.
Let’s get to ergonomics and layout.
Under the feet of the keyboard, and the palm rest, there are rubber pads, which would prevent, the un-wanted movement of the keyboard. To it is not too strong, so the user would be able to easily move the device into a comfortable position.
On the left the layout is usual, although at the area of the arrow keys there is a bit of a difference, than what I’ve got used to. The ‘Pause’, Scroll Lock’ and ‘Print Screen’ buttons have been moved over to numerical part of the keyboard. And the 3 LED signals took their place.
Just as usual, the function keys have been arranged in a four by three row, and above these are the 8 media control buttons, with 6 anti-ghost keys, and with the programmable buttons.
From left to right these are My computer, Homepage (or our default browser), Mail. Change of colours, Search, Favourites, Change of brightness. And than the Mute, Volume +/-
All in all, I think in a price to value comparison, this keyboard is perfect. It is not too expensive, and it was meant to punished anyway, so it will last you long enough. It is quite lightweight as well, and regardless of the brightness of the backlight, it wouldn’t be irritating on any of the settings.
And that would be it. Shortly Mark is going to be back with another Tips and Tricks episode, about the multimedia providers (Broadband, TV, landline phone) in the UK. And of course our Weekly news summary is coming up shortly as well.
