The features don’t stop there as the modular gaming keyboard also allows users to swap key switches, meaning mechanical keyboard enthusiasts can choose between Cherry HX Red or Blue keys. Furthermore, it offers a N-Key rollover, which enables multiple key presses to be registered. This is extremely useful for intense multiplayer games with numerous button layouts.
