The developer was constrained to the key mapping that evolved with the last iteration of FSX, being Acceleration. However, the light around the keys is not too bright to be distracting, IMO. Q1 Is the info on the keys only printed, or is it molded in/inset as well?Ī1 - The the legends are etched into the keys and unlikely to rub off or wear.īacklighting is on, or off with no dimming and there is no colour switching of the light source. The keyboard has good points and other points, I won't say 'bad' as some of the comments/concerns are beyond their control. if I can't find a more customizable board with regard to lighting options.Īpologies, my home internet has been down for a couple of days Nice review Joe.I just might be picking this up or adding it to the wish list. I currently use bits of colored tape cut into graphic symbols on often used keys so I can stab at them from peripheral vision easier.circle for gear, up and down arrows for flaps.stuff like that.a very Mini Mousesque solution. Perhaps that could be done myself 'custom' with a colored felt pens around the white lit key edges.or even just the front edge.but that is a kinda Micky Mousesque solution. I appreciate that this keyboard maker colorized some Key Groups, like the Open Windows/number keys, but I would love to have the ability to colorize specific keys for easier spotting of them in the dark, especially while using TrackIr.looking down at the keyboard even a little bit causes a huge head drop in TrackIr.kind of annoying while making a Video. I'd just need a week to get used to the change and stop using my custom keys. Obviously, having the shortcuts printed on the keys eliminates the need to 'Remember' weird key combos. (I have several custom keys made because I couldn't remember the default strokes as they 'didn't make sense to me').

I saw it is possible to Dim the backlights, but is it possible to change the white key edge color to something more Night Vision friendly? Red/Green?įorced to use default key mapping to match the keyboard. Is the info on the keys only printed, or is it molded in/inset as well?

I definitely would like a backlit keyboard. But I am tempted since it is so FSX specific. I'd like something like this, not sure if THIS is the one I want.
