ThunderX3 TK30: technical characteristics

ThunderX3 TK30: Unboxing and Analysis

The ThunderX3 TK30 comes to us in a cardboard box and with dimensions quite common for this type of product, we see that in its design in which the brand's corporate colors predominate, among which black and orange stand out. On the front we see an image of the keyboard as well as the layout that it presents, this time we find a distribution of Spanish keys so we thank the brand that has given us the exact same product that most of our products will be able to find. readers in your trusted stores.

In the back, all the characteristics of the keyboard are detailed, among which we find a wrist rest that is integrated and that we will not be able to remove, a high quality design, a RGB LED lighting system configurable in 16.8 million colors and its mechanisms of Plunger-type membrane with high-profile keys for greater wearing comfort.

Something that we miss is a window that allows us to test the buttons before going through the box, a detail that we will understand perfectly since when we open the box we find another box inside in white, this being the one that really houses the keyboard in its inside. All a detail of the great care that the brand has put in the product for its maximum protection and that it reaches the least of the user in the best possible way.

Inside the bundle we find a bag with several spare keys (WASD and address) and an extractor to remove them and put them in a very easy way.

It is time to focus our eyes on the keyboard, the ThunderX3 TK30 is a fairly compact unit with dimensions of 225 mm x 495 mm x 38 mm and a weight of 1, 260 grams, a very considerable weight for a membrane keyboard and that It makes us think it includes a quite generous steel plate to improve its rigidity. The overall quality feel of the keyboard is very good, it looks like a robust unit and made to last.

We start to use the keyboard and we perceive a quite pleasant sensation, its membrane buttons give us a very successful touch that is neither too soft nor too hard. Obviously it does not reach the sensations of a mechanical keyboard but within the membrane buttons it is undoubtedly one of the best. After spending some time typing, you get used to these buttons and they are pleasant both to write and to play.

We continue with the characteristics of the keyboard itself and we find an ultrapolling of 1000 Hz and Anti-Ghosting technology with 26 n-Key Rollover (NKRO) so the keyboard is capable of detecting the simultaneous pressing of many keys without actually collapsing.. We also find a total of 12 multimedia keys to access the most common controls in a very comfortable way, the gaming mode that will prevent us from accidentally pressing the Windows key and a total of 6 additional programmable Macro keys.

We focus the view at the bottom where we find two folding plastic legs that allow us to slightly lift the keyboard for greater comfort of use.

ThunderX3 TK40 software

Like most ThunderX3 products, the TK30 keyboard includes advanced management software that we can download from the official website of the brand. We can use the keyboard without any problem without the software, although to access all its functions and get it out all the performance if its installation is necessary.

Once downloaded, we only have to install it in a very simple way since it does not have any complications. Once installed, we open it and first see the possibility of creating up to three different usage profiles to adapt the keyboard to different users or uses.

The ThunderX3 TK30 offers us an advanced RGB LED backlight system that is configurable in a total of 16.8 million colors in a very simple way from the software. In addition we can adjust the lighting in three levels of intensity, breathing effects and color change, of course we can leave it in a fixed color or even turn it off if we wish. The keyboard also allows us to manage the lighting through key combinations to do it in a simpler way and without the need to open the software.

Fn + LED: Change light effect Fn + REPAG: increase light intensity Fn + AVPAG: decrease light intensity

The latter allows us to get more juice out of the ThunderX3 TK30 in case of using it with an operating system that is not compatible with its software, for example Linux.

In addition to controlling the lighting, the software also helps us assign functions to a total of 45 programmable keys, functions so varied that they range from macros to multimedia functions to mouse actions, among many others. Of course we find a complete Macros manager at the service of its six additional keys. A very complete Software without any doubt.

Final words and conclusion

The keyboard is one of the most important peripherals for all users, but above all for those of us who spend much of the day in front of a computer, whether for work, leisure or study. A good keyboard provides us with greater comfort when typing and using our computer, so we should not neglect your choice.

The ThunderX3 TK30 is a membrane keyboard that offers us a solution of high performance and the best quality at a very competitive price, much more than mechanical keyboards. We will also enjoy a very quiet operation so we will not disturb anyone during use. We highlight 1000Hz and 26n -Key Rollover (NKRO) ultrapolling technologies for flawless operation.

To test its performance we have used the usual working environment (office automation, graphic design and video and programming), the performance there is very nice. Its plunger-type membrane pushbuttons offer us a very pleasant operation, they are easy to press and very quiet operation. Currently, there is a lot of competition between keyboards to play . But without a doubt the ThunderX3 TK30 is one of the best on the market and on top of that it does so at an irresistible price.

The ThunderX3 TK30 is for sale in the main online stores for an approximate price of 50 euros.
