You literally do not need any drivers as once you insert the batteries an instant connection with the PC without inconvenient driver installation (Plug & Play) is what you get. The keys are very soft to press, it will take a little getting used to really. Key strokes have an up to 10 million key strokes lifetime, well I'll take their word for it as I'm not about to test that !.

The key response of the keyboard is pretty good though. You can type really fast on this one without getting annoyed in any way. The wireless keyboard is equipped with a full-size numeric keypad. You'll also spot a couple of volume keys. Missing are media function keys like quick start for browsers etc. The keys itself are based on membrane key stroke technology, not quite mechanical.

When we flip it on it's back you can see the two stands, so that would be the Adjustable 2-level Height option. The backside has rubber feet so the grip of the keyboard on the desktop is good.

The battery socket; it holds just one (provided) "AA" size Alkaline battery. No power switch is to be found here, the keyboard will power up/down based on user activity.
We review and test the Fulmo GT. Enermax has been going very strong with their power supply and fans. For a while now they also offer PC cases, and more recently they released what seems to be the biggest chassis I've ever laid my hands on. This chassis series has HPTX support for the bigger than biggest motherboards and some pretty cool features as well.
Enermax KW001 Briskie Keyboard mouse combo review
Keyboard kits come in all sizes, shapes and forms .. and that's next to a gazillion of manufacturers that offers them. Surprisingly enough a few weeks ago Enermax, the guys behind the best power supplies and the brightest fans also launched a keyboard/mouse combo. Briskie is all about value and as such for 25 USD/EUR you get a mouse and what we think is a very decent wireless RF keyboard.
Enermax Platimax 850W power supply review
Enermax always is able surprise us, they now have released the Platimax power supplies, that means a platinum certification and yeah .. that boils down to a 94% efficient product. Very few products get this certification. Today we'll grab a couple of older older supplies and see if what they claim is true, can we really save on energy. We fire off three PSU's at a P55 / Core i7 870 based system setup with a GeForce GTX 590. We then monitor power consumption in idle, CPU productivity (stress) mode and then lock into a gaming session.
Enermax MaxRevo 1350W PSU review
The MaxRevo is 1350 Watt .. with peak power available up-to 1620 Watt, yummie. Interestingly enough this is a nice small sized power supply, you'll hardly hear it, has plenty of modular options, wwell read is all modular and is 80 PLUS Gold certified. That makes the modular cables based MaxRevo PSU series 88-94% efficient @ 20-100% load.
