LCD is supported by Aida64

•••
You can use the Aida64 utility to monitor various computer status such as CPU/GPU/HDD temperature or CPU/GPU frequency on this keyboard's LCD. This is really handy to see how your computer is balanced in various games: you can see if your CPU is starting to bottleneck your graphics card (or vi...

Stiff keys

•••
Unlike most of Razer’s high-end keyboards, this one doesn’t use mechanical key switches, making the keys stiff and not very responsive.
