When it comes to Ttesports I have to admit they don’t spare any expenses on packing material or their boxes. They are colorful with big images of the product so you can see what it looks like and also read about all of its main features.

Inside the box you will find a small fan, cable, and a cd with drivers and a quick guide. The fan is actually to keep your hands cool while gaming, there are two fan slots on the keyboard but only one fan is included with it. Like the headphones that we reviewed previously this keyboard has a big Tt logo that lights up when then keyboard is plugged in.

The sides of the keyboard are equipped with “T” buttons numbered from 1 to 10. The left has numbers 1-5 and the right from 6-10.
On the top of the keyboard there are rubber covers that cover the fan jack, by removing the cap you can plug the fan in on either side of the keyboard.

The keys are very comfortable to type on and very silent compared to most keyboards on the market. The sample we got has a US layout so its lacking the Nordic special keys.

In the back of the keyboard they have placed a sound and mic jack along with a couple of USB ports. When you plug this keyboard in it will install the sound and mic jack immediately and it takes over as the main sound and mic device on the computer which means you might have to go into sound settings and change your device. The cable you get with the keyboard is the main power cable that powers both the keyboard and LED’s, the cable is longer than most keyboard cables I have seen and also sleeved to protect it.

If you look on the left picture you see a slot of some kind that I have not been able to figure out what it is meant for. The bottom of the keyboard is equipped with rubber pads and also two stands to raise the keyboard for your convenience

The software looks similar to the headset software that we looked earlier, it’s a very easy software to use and play around with and this also has a timer so you can time your gaming I guess.
You can set the T buttons here and also load profiles and save profiles. Dont like the LED on the TT logo? The first page in the software lets you turn it on and off or change its color as you can see on the right image. You have 256 colors to choose from.

Configuring the T buttons is quite easy, choose an action you want it to do and save the settings.

Conclusion:
I have been testing this keyboard for some time now and finally figured out a conclusion. This keyboard has a small learning curve since the T buttons are on both the left and right sides which makes the keyboard part a tad more compact. When you figure out how to type on it though it works very nicely, the buttons are more silent than any keyboards I have worked with before.
You can pick this unit up for about 90$ from Neweggwhich is a pretty heavy price to pay for a keyboard. Dropping the price around 20$ they would make it compete more vs other gaming keyboards on the market. Overall though if you want a silent keyboard for gaming this would be it!
Software configuring was easy and the small fan really keeps your hands cool while gaming something I thought was not possible.
I have not really found any real flaws this far since we have had stable performance for our testing, the price is one thing though that you have to remember.
Pros:
+ Silent
+ Included fan
+ Easy software
+ Macro support
+ T buttons
Cons:
- Price
- Only one fan included
