THE BLADEMASTER TE

The 940g heavy BladeMaster TE Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard measures 369mm in length, 136mm in width and 45mm in height.

Just like with most keyboards released in the last couple of years the BladeMaster TE features floating keys for easier cleaning.

DREVO has placed their logo on the spacebar and their name right next to it on the keyboard housing.

You can use the function (FN) key with the ESC key to reset the keyboard, with the 1/2/4/8 keys to toggle the polling/report rate and with the F1-F3 keys to switch between the 3 available onboard profiles.

With the insert, home, delete, end, page up and page down keys you can switch between lighting modes, adjust the brightness level, change the color and speed of the backlit illumination and control the audio function.

The programmable knob located on the left side of the keyboard can be used in a similar way as the mouse wheel.

Here we see the Gateron KS-9 brown switches.

At the base of the keyboard we find 5 rubber pads, two height adjusters and 4 DIP switches.

Via these switches you can exchange certain key functions (caps lock with left control and alt with windows) and change the keyboard layout (Dvorak, Colemak and Minimak).

The two height adjusters raise the front end of the keyboard roughly 12mm from the desk.

At the end of the 1.8 meter long cable (rubber not braided) we find a gold plated USB plug.
