Packaging & Closer Look
We have already completed an overview video for this item so if you would to check it out then please watch the video below which accompanies this section.
We will now take a closer look at the packaging, item and accessories included when buying this product. The packaging is simple but effectively promotes the product and its main features, as can be seen below.
The front shows the keyboard in all its glory with some key selling points listed to the right along with a close up on the mechanical switch section of the keyboard to show what the keyboard runs under its key caps.
On the back we see a front on view of the keyboard along with annotations of the key selling points that have been specifically identified to show you what you are getting. To the left of this image we can see some details behind the build and a short summary as to what Element offer customers with regards to performance, quality and simply what makes their kit so unique.
Removing the keyboard and accessories from the box, we can take a closer look at what is included. Firstly we have the keyboard, made from a tough soft blue plastic lower and brushed green tinted stainless steel upper. Featuring a typical QWERTY set up, there isn’t much in the way of additional programmable buttons but this fits the style of the keyboard very well.
Every small detail, such as this etched logo and text, is completed to a very high specification which shows that Element Gaming have really put a lot into creating a great looking product.
A cool additional feature of this keyboard was the audio adjustment tools which include a mute button, handy for IRL conversations while gaming, and a rubber gripped volume adjuster which works by increasing/decreasing Windows Audio Devices.
Unfortunately the cable is hardwired to the device and not removable like some other examples of the same price range BUT having said that, we are impressed with it all the same! Protected by a weaved nylon material, it is sturdy and prevents breakages, on the end we have a gold plated USB.
On the reverse of the keyboard, there are a total of 4 (an extra 2 if using the wrist support, more to follow) rubber anti-slip markers to keep your keyboard in place while in use.
There are also 2 stands on either side of keyboard to elevate it to a more user friendly degree but can be retracted for a flat layout for those of you who prefer this.
With the Beryllium keyboard comes a rubberised wrist support that fits to the lower of the keyboard. It offers a platform for users to rest their wrists upon that is comfy and spans the entire length of the keyboard as to cater for all, even those of you who adopt unusual wrist placement while gaming!
On the rear of the keyboard you will find a cut out and two holes which is what is used to keep the wrist support in place once mounted. The support sits flush to the keyboard and prevents any areas that could pose as being uncomfortable.
And finally, we have 8 interchangeable blue keys to replace the WASD and Arrow keys on the board. A tool for removing the key is included also.
The blue keys are there as an alternative to the installed keys, with a different colour than the rest it helps the user identify important keys quickly and reduce the user’s response time while gaming. Another great use is for those new to PC gaming, helping them keep identify their primary keys while learning First/Third Person Shooters or other alternate game.
