     The above picture clearly illustrates the keyboards style: simplicity! The shape and size of the keyboard is not inflated which reduces the footprint required on your desktop or keyboard drawer. An essential feature are the flip-up stands, concealed on the backside of the keyboard, that give the top a slight tilt upwards. Unfortunately, there is only one height adjustment so it's either tilted up or it's not.

     In addition to the function keys being left in their proper group of fours, the Word Processing keys (Insert/Home/Delete/etc...) have been left in their proper position and size as well. The only extra buttons that you will find on the Gamers Keyboard are those on the top right above the number pad. Starting from left to right we have a Volume Down, Volume Up, Volume Mute and Backlight Brightness adjustment.

     The entire keyboard is given a blue backlight which perfectly accents the attitude of the Gamers Keyboard. The brightness button cycles the backlighting between full, dim, and completely off. Note that only the space between the individual keys is lighted and not the character on the key itself. While this may be a major bummer to those "hunt and peck" aspiring typists, those of us that know what the home-key notches are used for will find have no problems at all.
