If you are looking for a high-quality, customizable, attractive compact keyboard with good battery life, that can be wirelessly connected to multiple devices, the Cooler Master CK721 is a great option we can whole heartedly recommend.However, the Falchion does not have Bluetooth, and even though the BlackWidow can do nearly everything the CK721 can do, it is significantly more expensive. But if you can't fit a full-sized keyboard on your desk, yet still need to use things like the function keys, it can be hard finding a good one that fits your needs. There are actually two lights in that area, but the top one is used for Caps Lock, while the bottom is used for wireless status.

Simply holding down the FN key and pressing the corresponding side-printed secondary functions key will allow you to adjust brightness, volume, skip audio tracks, RGB backlighting, etc. If G is pressed, the horizontal keys light up(F,D,S,A, H, J, K, L) and vertical keys semi inline with the pressed key light up(T, 5, B, Space). Coming soon we'll have a braided coiled cable, PBT keycap sets and colored aluminum top plates for you to customize and truly make the CK721 yours. In fact, while testing over the wireless dongle, my keyboard went through mixed usage of just under six days before it needed a recharge, leaving it to sleep when I was not using it.

To ensure optimal use of the product, please download the MasterPlus+ software and update the latest firmware. When even the cheapest boards out there are using quality switches from Kailh with stabilizing braces on the stems for smoother action, it’s hard to get excited about TTC switches, which are chattery and wobbly.

Finally, users can cycle between four different levels of brightness with the A key, as well as turn them off altogether. A USB-C port is located on the rear of the device for connecting the keyboard directly to a PC using the included cable, and/or for charging the device. The wireless menu shows the keyboard’s battery life alongside sleep mode and low-power mode options. With RGB backlighting on, I averaged around 55-60 hours of use while doing the same job-related tasks. However, if you are someone with larger hands, you may find the 60/40 percent keyboards a tad too small and a bit uncomfortable to use.Furthermore, when the keyboard is trying to connect, whether over Bluetooth or with the dongle, the light breathes blue until it connects.
