Question 1

Can the illumination on this be programmed with different modes?  All on one color, Game template, Game template with a shift or other modifier, game template with alternate color?

For normal typing I'd like Green, when I switch to a particular game I'd like green and red as appropriate for certain keys. There are keys that work on Right or Left Shift or Left CTRL, could the template change with those keys pressed as a modifier? Is there a way to change modes on the fly?  How many templates can be preset?

Accepted Answer

I use this keyboard as an extra board that I can hook up to computers I diagnose and repair. I can tell you what is in the written documentation; There are 5 illuminated modes. None are programmable.
1.) all key bright mode
2.) Breath Mode, can adjust 3 backlight brightnesses under this mode. (Low/med/high/breath mode)
3.)WASD key red/green/off cycle.
4.) Direction keys red/green/off cycle
5.)Windows keys on/off mode. Windows and application buttons are disabled in this mode.

Question 2

Rosewill's de facto warranty for their mechanical keyboards is three years; this model only has one. It is not even listed on the Rosewill website anywhere. This is a new product, but the shorten warranty and lack of accessible information does not inspire confidence in this product.

Why would Rosewill lessen the warranty on this model? The dual backlighting does raise suspicions about its longevity. Only reason obvious to me.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

We are not entirely sure why the warranty was shortened we can only go by what is now listed. I will also forward this feedback to the appropriate management for further review in case there may have been a mistake.

Thank you,
Newegg Support.

Question 3

I just bought this keyboard and it suddenly flipped my laptop screen sideways.  I did not receive a manual as mentioned with this item and couldn't find answers online either.  What command will flip my screen back to it upright position?  Please help!  I need to get stuff done TODAY!

Accepted Answer

This is depending on the Windows and Graphics software installed on your system.
Try one of the following ways:

1. Press CTRL + ALT and one of the four directional arrow keys.
2. Press the WINDOWS key and one of the four directional arrow keys.

One of those should work.

Question 4

Why is the Cherry MX red one Iron Egg Guaranteed, but the Cherry MX black ones are not? According to Rosewill's Website they were both released at the same time. It would make more sense to guarantee the more expensive one, but would be even better to guarantee both.

Any suggestions why?

Accepted Answer

Black is probably sold less. But that's just my guess.
