## Questions & Answers

**Q: The number row is only working as function keys. How do I use the number row as the numbers they're supposed to be?**
A: Press the FN and the left control key. You should see the keyboard flash twice. Then it will switch. Found this out by mistake myself. Sad its not a documented feature.

In my testing, I found that there are two states: when the number row is the number row (where you can use the FN key for the function row) and when the number row is the function keys (and you can use the FN key for media controls) 

This is entirely not advertised at all and honestly a big positive for the product. Don't know why they never bothered telling anyone.

**Q: is this for optical switches or regular mx/gateron switches?**
A: Hi there, thank you for your question. This is for  regular mx/gateron switches.

**Q: What is brand of switches used?**
A: So, from what I understand. 
LTC is working with the same people that Royal Kludge, & Red Dragon worth with in terms of materials, and sometimes switches.

Though from what I know, LTC works with Gateron, & Huano. So you can end up with one or the other.
Huano's switches aren't entirely different from Gateron's in terms of performance, they're almost equal. 
______
Just keep this in mind.
Huano Brown
Smoother than Gateron Brown, but with a slightly more aggressive bump.
Gateron Brown
Buttery smooth, tactile bump is there but relaxed and not aggressive.
Huano Red
Nice actuation, though almost too sensitive at times. 
Gateron Red
Smooth all the way through, kind of have more balance towards the bottom of the actuation.
Huano Blue
Super rough. Almost too clicky, and it's irritating. They're good if they're your only option though.
Gateron Blue
More similar to an MX Blue, but feel better and aren't as abrasive with the click.

**Q: The software isn't downloading on my macbook, How do I change the rgb without software?**
A: Hi there, 
You can press FN+ \ to change the rgb mode and FN+< to change rgb color. The software can only be use in Win system currently.

    Underrated Keyboard!
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024*

I bought this keyboard for a laptop to use for gaming and let me tell you! This keyboard is so underrated! The build feels nice and sturdy, and if you’ve seen videos it’s highly customizable! I got the one with red switches and was thinking about switching my switches to those cream milky ones but these reds feel nice! I’m not crazy keyboard dude but in terms of feel and functionality it met all my standards and the price! Like bruh the price is nice too! I definitely recommend for someone who wants a smaller keyboard or if they just want a keyboard for their setup. 5/5 for me and hope you guys buy it and see for yourself!

    Very Nice Keyboard, Value is there!
  

*by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022*

It came with some odd Jerzi red switch clones. These switches sound good/similar to my ducky one two mini Gateron Reds. They have a very light actuation force though, I noticed myself pressing space bar without intending. I purchased some AKKO Rose Reds but preferred these. I'm currently trying KTT Mint Liners that sound amazing in this keyboard.Hot swap is easy, and the board had some foam inside the case! I added a bit extra as it isn't too thick but I'm surprised to see it included in the board.The stabilizer are also pre lubed, haven't checked to see if they are clipped though. They also seem to have some foam between the pcb and plate.The keycaps aren't great like every other keyboard but I swapped them out with some XDA's and they add to the sound and experience.I'd suggest to move the logo on the side or back as it's a bit obnoxious sitting on the front and slightly better keycaps. With included foam, hot swap, and pre lubed stabilizers I find this hard to beat. Will update if I have longevity issues.

    Best First Keyboard
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022*

I love how compact the keyboard is and allows for a lot of room for the mouse, especially when you have a small desk like mine.  The backlights are absolutely beautiful and the amount of customization makes this an amazing choice for people into aesthetically pleasing items.I chose red switches which are really nice and smooth to type with, however, when it comes to gaming the switches lack that 'click' that lets you know you've pressed the key.  This has interfered with my gaming as I have accidentally pressed unwanted keys.  But that is easily fixable as this keyboard is fully customizable and you are able to exchange the switches.This keyboard doesn't feel like it's cheap.  Not that I know what an expensive keyboard feels like, but for those who just use keyboards for their basic functionality, I would 100% recommend this one for its price point.So far, this keyboard has been amazing to do work/game with.  I recommend this keyboard for those who are looking for aesthetically pleasing keyboards and are on a budget. I also believe this is a good product to play games with if you understand how to modify switches to give yourself the best experience.  For me, I'm looking to exchange some of the red switches with more tactile ones so I don't accidentally press down on them during games.Overall, I love this keyboard so much and I am in heaven using this keyboard to type out this review.  I hope this has helped.
