Do those media audio keys work in-game if the key is unbinded?

It's basically a name for the stabilizer keys used on Cherry (brand) keyboards, and some Cherry MX based keyboard.s

Here is another question:

The Shortcuts, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock LEDs I see are on the keys themselves. They turn on and off when you press the key down? And if so, that means there is no way to keep them on all the time? Just wondering 'cause I use caps lock in-game and play in the dark a lot.

The lighting behind the caps key will stay on no matter what, but the green LED that indicates activation turns on and off.

The back-lighting can be completely turned off though.

Sorry so, will these be available with browns? Somebody mentioned in another thread that they came with blacks.

I was looking for an illuminated brown keyboard, and held off getting the XArmor when I saw pictures of this thing.

Correct, we'll be able to ask Ducky to change the switch type to fit our needs.
So we could order versions with browns, blacks, blues, or reds.

Our next order will have Tenkeyless boards in it.

Haven't taken the plunge on a mechanical yet, but this one piques my interest. My PC is for gaming only... what switches should I get?

Link in my sig to the mechanical keyboard guide; you should read that first.

There are many different switches; some better than others in durability and construction; others with completely different purposes.

Cherry MX Blacks are the "Gamer" switch, but don't let that tag fool you; as many others find MX-Blue, MX-Brown, MX-Clear, or MX-Red switches just fine for gaming.

I think the best process for looking for a switch is to first decide if you would like a light switch or a heavier switch. Brown, red, and blue would be light.

Black, and clear would be the heavier switch type.

The average board which is non mechanical, that comes with a PC, like Dell, Sony, is about 50g to 55g. My Sony was 50 grams. Usually, a black switch will be a little higher than what people are used to. Although, if you just use it for gaming a heavier switch may never be a problem for you.
