Okay, we're going to have a closer look at the product guided with the help of lots of photo's. As always packaging and bundle first. The core features of the K40 keyboard is being a gaming keyboard, non-mechy, yet dome based keys full-key rollover though, over USB and 100% anti-ghosting. Next to that it is all about the colors man!

Unpacking shows a simple bundle, the keyboard and a manual/warranty guide. The K40 We feel should be marketed as a FPS keyboard. Also, across the keyboard you will notice back-lights on the K40, these can be dimmed. We'll show you the keyboard powered on over the next few pages of course.

Once we have a better and closer look at the keyboard the word sturdy comes to mind. The keyboard is heavy enough to get a good grip at your desktop. It however is a lot of plastic though whereas the Vengeance series include some aluminum. You will notice that the keys (all dome) are placed onto (not into) the keyboard. The top base gives the product a rather unique look and feel. The keys have a very slick feel BTW. The K40 is has rubber feet will ensure you from the keyboard sliding away. Nice to see is that the K40 has a series of G-keys, programmable gaming keys. The "QWERTY" keys itself are dark aside from the WASD and arrow keys which are highlighted, indicating this indeed is a gaming keyboard alright :) The keyboard registers ALL keys pressed at once, as such this is full key rollover.

The media function keys on the keyboard itself are rather basic yet functional. The three knobs control volume, with below it stop/next/back and play pause functionality.
