The Genesis components and peripherals brand may not be well known in our country, at least so far, but this is something that could soon change thanks to the wide catalog of products that it sells for the PC market and, especially, for the gaming world .
You will find from
the typical mice, keyboards, mats, speakers or headphones, to more specific
components such as PC cases, fans or thermal pastes for the processor. The
mouse pads or their gaming desk
tables attract attention , something that you will not find in
other brands.
What features does the Genesis Lith 400 RGB
keyboard offer?
In this articles, we
want to focus on describing its new Genesis Lith 400 RGB keyboard, a complete
RGB model with a numerical part that is committed to the implementation of silent
and low-profile keys, to the detriment of membrane or mechanical
models , ranges that the brand also factory.
At the design level,
the keyboard is very peculiar, with a clear focus on illuminating not only the
keys with its programmable backlighting system, but also all the edges and
sides of the keyboard, which have a linear LED that makes the table desk is illuminated.
You won't need an
extra mat to achieve this amazing effect. Resting on the table, the
keyboard features consistent non-slip rubber areas that provide a better grip. As
with the traditional ones, some rear legs allow you to raise the angle of inclination.
On the back, we
observe the presence of connectors next to the USB-A connection cable that it
uses to connect to the PC, regardless of the use of wireless technologies that
can cause interference or worse latency in your games.
The connectors that
act as a hub offer an additional USB port to which you can connect any device,
be it a mouse or pendrive ,
as well as two mini-jack sockets to which you can connect your headphones and
microphone to do your live shows on Twitch, for example.
Another great detail
of the Lith 400 RGB is that in the upper part it has a groove
that acts as a support for the mobile so that you can place it in front of you
with an angle of inclination of the screen of approximately 120 degrees.
Low profile X-SCISSORS quiet keys
As we have already
advanced, one of the facets of the Lith 400 RGB is that its 104 keys are
especially quiet and efficient at the same time, as they are based on
X-SCISSORS technology, with little travel due to its low-profile typology. Genesis
claims that 55 grams of force is enough to be actuated.
The keys maintain the anti-ghosting
functionality, so that you can press the keys
you want simultaneously (up to 19) without the keyboard collapsing. Many gaming keyboards have
this peculiarity, but its effect is limited to a maximum of six keys.
Obviously, we all
know that mechanical keyboards tend to be the fastest in recording keystrokes,
but with the Lith 400 RGB you get the perfect balance between precision and
quiet environment with a response time of 8 ms.
If you are one of
those who usually take advantage of the functionality of the multimedia keys,
the Lith 400 RGB has the usual 12 to manage the volume, control the playback
and other tasks such as opening the mail application or the calculator
application.
Already in the area
of the numeric keyboard, we find that, together with the 3 usual LED
indicators, we find an additional one that informs us if we have the 'Windows
lock' key activated to minimize accidental keystrokes during games.
Key and keyboard lighting
The Lith 400 RGB
keyboard supports a total of 9 different lighting effects, which you can manage
and customize from the software developed
by Genesis. The interface allows you not only to vary the speed of the
effect, but also to have it happen from left to right or vice versa.
This is where you can
also reassign the keys to your liking and preferences, introduce a greater or
lesser delay for each key, divide the keyboard into 6 areas to customize the
lighting, or apply macro recording.
Price and where to buy it
In short, we are
facing an inexpensive gaming keyboard that
is far from the high prices to which we are accustomed to models with
mechanical keys or even membrane keys. You can purchase it through PcComponentes .
You lose advantages,
here, such as the possibility of lighting key by key (something exclusive to
the mechanical type), but in return you maintain a high level of precision in
the keystrokes, a low latency, as well as a quiet environment if you use the
keyboard of your PC for other purposes.
