User questions & answers

Question:	este producto tiene la letra
Answer:	Este modelo en concreto no la tiene físicamente (es US), pero si tú sistema esta en español la tecla despues de la "L" la lee como "Ñ". Podrías comprarle unos keycaps en español.
Question:	Are the keys replaceable
Answer:	Probably, it has same Cherry's structure on top of switches if your asking about the keycaps. About switches I don't think so. they look solid.
Question:	What color switch does it come with
Answer:	The switches aren't Cherry, so the "color" is meaningless. I'm still waiting for mine to show up, so I can't say anything about what they're equivalent to.
Question:	I am looking for this keyboard wich is tactile switch.Is that tactile switch
Answer:	Yes, it's a tactile switch.

User questions & answers

Question:	The "turn on computer" option works with the laptop g752vs-rb
Answer:	I don't think so. Even standard functionality does not work with the keyboard. I think ASUS needs some more iterations with their firmware, hardware and specifically with the software until the keyboard is real usable.
Question:	Can this keyboard be used wirelessly
Answer:	No. This is a wired keyboard.
Question:	Can the FN key be reassigned, so it works as a second Win key from the right-hand side
Answer:	FN key can not change functionality.
Question:	What is the difference between the red & brown cherry key switches? there's also black & another color on the cherry website. couldn't find it there
Answer:	The difference is that red switches are linear and brown switches have a tactile bump. With red switches, the key press will be smooth and linear. With brown switches, there is a tactile bump during the key press which helps to give feedback to the user. Black switches are just a heavier linear switch, similar to reds but take a bit more force to press.

User questions & answers

Question:	How to set steady one color? I can set steady but its multi color
Answer:	You don't have to use the software if you are satisfied with the preset 18 backlit modes without customizable backlit. If you want to build your own backlit mode, just download the software to set it and save it, then you don't need to run the software in the background or even uninstall the software.
Question:	How is the quality of the keyboard? i only see one review. can i get more feedback? i love to buy it
Answer:	The keys are cherry reds so they are not clicky or tactile. The breakdown for the most common cherry mx switches are red (non-tactile and non clicky), browns (tactile and non-clicky) and blues (tactile and clicky). I have had both this set and the k580. I prefer the 580 as it has cherry mx blue keys. They sound and feel great. I can no longer use non-tactile keys. The 582-ba now feels too mushy to use.
Question:	Can you assign specific colors to specific keys? wasd in red, "m" in blue, etc
Answer:	I have never owned a steel series and I am also a reborn noob on a pc. Lol it seems to be working great, both keyboard and mouse! The keyboard feels very durable. Heavy and also doesnt slide around on your desk. Mouse is very responsive and feels good in your hand
Question:	Are the switches hot swappable
Answer:	I do. I use it with the XIM Apex. Additionally, I have a Sony Nav Controller and this keyboard connected to a USB 2.0 hub. Both these devices use the single output of the USB Hub to plug directly in to slot 2 of the XIM Apex. Slot 2 on the XIM Apex is for your keyboard. Slot 3 on the Apex is for the controller and Slot 1 is for your mouse. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the ram get in the way of the kraken x62 aio on this motherboard without having to tilt the aio to look awkward
Answer:	I don't know what you mean by "tilt the aio to look awkward"... the block of the AIO needs to sit flush against the CPU. If you're using all four RAM slots and your RAM has a thick heat spreader the hoses coming off the block might be a little snug but it should fit. I'm using a MasterLiquid ML360R and it fits just fine.
Question:	will this board work with 8700k or 8086k
Answer:	This motherboard will work with 8th Gen Intel Processors for example it will work I5 - 8600k, I7 - 8700k, and I7 - 8086k.
Question:	Will the asus rog-strix-rx580-o8g-gamingoc edition fit on this mother board
Answer:	Go to PC Parts Picker online. Put together your own build list. The site will tell you if you have any conflicts. It's a fantastic resource for people building their own PCs.
Question:	Is the maximus xi formula better than this
Answer:	The Maximus XI Formula is ASUS's flagship motherboard. It has everything that this motherboard has and more. Water-cooling for the VRMs, an armor plate, better RGB, and all around better cooling. However, the one thing that this board has over the formula is the price, and you have to ask yourself if the price difference between these two boards is worth it. If you're not water-cooling but you want slightly better overclocks and aesthetics compared to this board, the Maximus XI Code is the board you want to get.

Answer:	Yes. The key caps pull off and are standard cherry mx switches.
Question:	Where can i get the arm rest
Answer:	On the Strip Scope TKL Deluxe
Question:	Why isn't there a Print Screen key? Was the logo really more important than something so frequently used
Answer:	There is a print screen. It’s a 2ndary key. You have to use the Fn key for.
Question:	Do all the function keys default to Function mode or just to what's printed on top of function keycap
Answer:	Hi, They default to what you see printed on the keycaps. To get the regular function mode of F5-F12, you'll need to hold down the Fn key.
