We hauled this little beauty home for some intensive testing.
The results were rather impressive. While the keyboard appears a little flimsy at first, it is far tougher than it looks, allowing for a little pounding of keys in frustration without the nagging feeling that a fingertip will punch through to the desktop below. With the online gaming skills of yours truly residing somewhere in the region of the nearest toilet bowl, this is an everyday occurrence.
There are options, if one bothers with the optional software beyond the drivers, to create macros and different profiles for the keyboard. The software is a little annoying to be totally honest and since many of the functions and features of this hardware work without needing too much by way of setup, there isn’t a whole load of incentive to go through that. The Lycosa keyboard seems to have been designed with the male species in mind, with no referring to directions prior to hooking it up. There may be something in the manual about altering the backlight profiles that we missed though, since we never read it. There are however a few that can be chosen for all occasions.
