Closer Look
The K90 is a very good looking keyboard with dark grey/black keys on a brushed aluminum chassis. As mentioned previously, the keys are laser etched, meaning that rather than being stamped on in ink like a regular keyboard they are burned in with a laser. What this does is firstly, allow for the back light to shine through, but also gives you very long key life. It is very common for the letters on keys to wear out over time, especially the WASD keys on gaming keyboards. The laser etched keys diminish that problem significantly.
Another feature of this keyboard is the keys are basically exposed as you can see in the right side picture. This gives a unique look with the brushed aluminum but why I found it special was because it makes cleaning so much easier. As anyone who sits at their computer a lot knows, you are bound to drop crumbs, hairs, etc in between your keys. This exposed design allows you to just quickly blow them out with compressed air with no need to remove key caps.
The included wrist rest is made of a soft-touch textured rubber. It is attached to the keyboard with two small thumbscrews and has rubber feet that really add to the stability of the board. |
The backlight has four settings: 33%, 66%, 100%, and off. I found that in a dark room, the 33% setting is plenty and the other two were a little too bright for me and a little distracting. |
