An important innovation is the Dual Super Buttons, which are included in the package (1 set).

The built-in RGB backlighting offers 8 different operating modes, creating impressive visual effects. The keycaps are made from Double-layered ABS material for increased durability, while the directional keys follow a Double-Layered Crystal design.
