![]() ![]() This keyboard does come with a few nice touches, but most of them could be implemented better. For example, the S key has an embossed symbol on it, so you can quickly find your way back to the WASD keys while gaming, but the symbol is so lightly embossed it can be a bit tough to feel. More examples include things like the keyboard cable, which is braided but not removable. The keyboard's lighting is RGB but is only per-zone instead of per-key, which isn't shocking at this price point but a disappointment nonetheless.Īlso, the volume knob in the upper-right corner is great in that it allows for precise volume control, but feels awkward to use with the number pad so close to it. There's also a light bar underneath the keyboard that emits a soft glow on your desk, and it actually looks kind of cool. Alienware AW768 – SoftwareĪlienware’s Control Center software is where your can dial in effects and macros. As I wrote above, the RGB lighting on the keyboard is customizable, but only across Alienware’s pre-defined “zones,” rather than per-key. That limits the usefulness of the RGB lighting. It offers some fun animations though, like a rainbow “wave” or a breathing effect, so if you’re just in it for the aesthetic, you’ll probably be happy with it. ![]() You can adjust the functionality of the Alien Head button in the corner of the keyboard, allowing it to toggle the keyboard lighting or turning “Game Mode” on and off. Game Mode allows you to lock the Windows key (which is useful) or the Shift, Tab, Alt, and Application keys (which is less useful, since these keys often have in-game functions). You can also turn on a sleep timer or adjust the keyboard’s polling rate delay. Macros are the brightest spot here, offering pretty straightforward customizations that work as you’d expect. You can record your own keyboard macros with the click of a button, and customize the delays between keystrokes. Once you’ve recorded a macro, you can assign it to any of the 5 macro keys on the left side of the keyboard. The top macro button switches between three profiles, each with their own custom backlight color, giving you a total of 15 macro slots. It isn’t as powerful as some of the competitors’ macro functionality-you can’t insert mouse clicks, for instance-but for many gaming-specific shortcuts, it serves its purpose well enough. ![]()
