Matias Introduces New Wired Aluminum Keyboard With Rgb 3,9/5 9264 reviews

UK Matias Wired RGB Backlit Aluminum Keyboard for PC Black - FK318PCLBB-UK Anonymous Having worn the letters off of the keys on a number of keyboards, I sought a board that was durable and provided as clear a set of symbols on the keys as possible. Matias announced an RGB-backlit wired aluminum keyboard for Mac. Apple last week surprised us with the early launch of the new Magic.

CES

Third-party accessory maker Matias debuted a new version of its wired Mac keyboard at CES on Tuesday, adding a few creature comforts like adjustable RGB backlighting to fill a product category Apple abandoned last year.



Matias' latest keyboard creation takes cues from Apple's iconic design language, complete with a svelte aluminum chassis in silver or space gray black chiclet-style keys and key font faithful to the original.
Not content on delivering a near replica of the now-discontinued wired Mac keyboard, which it did last year, Matias adds an RGB backlighting system that can be controlled by a rotary dial located on the keyboard's rear panel. Rotating the dial shifts backlight colors through a rainbow of colors.
Matias notes the Color Dial effectively negates blue light levels at night, which some studies have found to negatively impact a body's natural sleep cycle. From white, the keyboard cycles through a range of colors including yellow and red. Brightness can also be customized in 10 percent increments using a dedicated key and pressing the '+' or '-' buttons, or tapping on a number key.
Like all good Mac keyboards, Matias includes function keys that correspond to macOS system controls. The keys themselves offer two millimeters of travel, while a built-in USB 2.0 port serves as a handy connection point for a wired mouse.
Matias offers the RGB wired keyboard in a number of language layouts including U.S. English, UK English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swiss, Nordic, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean.
The device can be preordered from Matias for $99, with shipments expected to head out in February.

Product Summary

The Matias RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard is for individuals who miss the Apple Wired Keyboard but want what Apple never made - a wired RGB backlit keyboard. With a continuous spectrum of colors to choose from, users can simply adjust the color dial to give the optimal backlighting for any situation. Brightness of the backlight can also be adjusted with the -/+ backlight key from 0% to 100%.
This keyboard also has all the key design elements Mac users were familiar with; an aluminum case with keycaps, a 2 port USB 2.0 hub, all the special Mac functions that were on the now discontinued Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and a hard wired connection via a USB cable. Improvements on this Matias product include Matias scissor switches providing a satisfying typing experience in a slim design. This keyboard only weighs 1.2 lbs and comes with a one meter (3.25 foot) USB cable.
The Matias RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard is compatible with Mac OS X all the way back to Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and is available in Silver or Space Grey. The PC model (FK318PCLBB) is Windows compatible and is available in Black only.

Ergonomic Benefits
Reduced Risk of Wrist Extension - The RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard presents a low front profile which means that there is not a significant difference between keyboard height and the work surface. For users who 'rest' the heel of their hands when keyboarding low profile can reduce the risks associated with wrist extension. Learn more about Wrist Extension.

Reduced Risk of Shoulder and Back Pain - Keying on laptops requires users to position their hands unnaturally close together. This requires them to roll their shoulders in and usually also down. This puts undue strain on both the shoulders and the upper back. Extended use of devices requiring this posture can have a noticeable effect on the health of the shoulders and back. The RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard addresses this by providing users with a means of entering data on these devices without the space limitations of the device screen.

Keeps Natural Melatonin Levels at Night - Because blue-light exposure is known to negatively affect melatonin levels, changing the backlighting to less or no blue-light can help maintain healthy melatonin levels at night, so that sleep patterns are not disrupted.

Features
  • RGB Backlighting: The RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard allows users to select the colour and brightness of the keyboard's backlighting. The continuous colour spectrum ranges from full White to softer Whites, Yellows, and finally Reds (slowly reducing the Blues for healthier night-time viewing). Brightness can be changed from 0% to 100% in 10% increments using the -/+ backlight key.
  • Hard Wired USB Connection: The RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard uses a dedicated USB cable to connect to the keyboard. This ensures a quick, reliable and secure connection to any device.
  • Low Profile Design: The RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard employs a 'chiclet' or 'island' keycap which permits a very low profile. The profile tapers from 3/4' at the back to just 3/8' thick at the front, presenting a slightly angled profile to the user.
  • Familiar Design: Apple users will appreciate the familiar Silver colour and design.
  • Non-Reflective Finish: The RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard features a matte anodized finish which eliminates reflection and glare. It also means fingerprints are not visible.
  • Slightly Concave Keycaps: To assist touch typists in maintaining home row position on the keyboard the keycaps feature a very slight concave surface just barely detectable by the fingertips.
  • Mac-Friendly Function Keys (Mac only): Common Mac functions such as screen brightness and volume control are easily accessed. Users who require the traditional F-Key functions can temporarily access these using the 'fn' key.
  • Sturdy Aluminum Housing: The upper housing on the RGB Backlit Wired Aluminum Keyboard is made of aluminum which ensures strength and rigidity.
