THE ARMATO CE

The Armato CE is a medium to large keyboard that measures 482.6mm in length, 165.1mm in width and 30.5mm in height.

Just like the other Classic Edition models the Armato CE features a floating keys design.

The aluminum mesh pieces placed all over the keyboard look nice and fit nicely with the brushed aluminum top plate.

All of the dedicated media keys are placed on the upper right corner of the keyboard (previous/play-pause/next/mute/volume up-down).

On the left side of the keyboard we find the 5 dedicated macro keys and the record key.

Once again via the Fn key F1 through F4 can also be used to launch the default internet browser, email client, add page to the favorites bar and open the search menu.

F5 through F8 can also be used to launch the windows calculator, media player and to decrease/increase the keyboard brightness levels.

Finally F9 through F12 also control the backlight modes (breath/reactive/per-key custom/on-off).

You can switch between Full N-KRO (N-Key Rollover) and 6-KRO from the insert and delete keys.

The volume control wheel has a large A engraved on the side (from Azio no doubt) and since we liked it i thought it would be nice to show it.

Here we can see the OARMY blue (although these are clearly olive in color like the ones used in the MK RETRO model) illuminated keys.

At the base of the Armato CE we find 6 rubber feet and 2 height adjusters (rubber coated).

These height adjusters can raise the top end of the keyboard roughly 15mm from the desk.

The 1.8 meter long braided cable has a gold plated USB plug at the end.

The magnetic palm rest has two rubber feet beneath it and once attached it boosts the width of the keyboard to 236.2mm.

In the three above pictures we see the minimum/maximum brightness levels and the per key illumination mode.
