Corsair includes some extra gray-topped, textured keycaps that can be swapped in for FPS and MOBA gamers. The keycaps feel like they’re somewhere in the middle of normal plastic keycaps and soft-touch material, which feels nice on the fingertips, but picks up grease easily. It also adds in a Windows Key lock, a button to quickly adjust the keyboard backlight brightness, and a button for cycling through different backlighting profiles that can be stored in the keyboard’s memory.
