Packaging & Closer Look
The front of the box gives us our first look at what we can expect to see from the 200K. In the bottom left are a couple of the main features, including; scissor-switch, anti-ghosting and the 7 colour backlighting.
On the back of the box, we get a better list of features in the bottom left again with a nice image of the keyboard above showing some of these off. Over on the top right is a nice little image of the scissor-switch and we can also see a preview of the seven different colours of the backlighting system.
Though the 200K is branded as a “Gaming Keyboard” there are no extra buttons or features or anything really except for the seven colour backlighting it features. Aside from that it actually looks like a very standard keyboard with a nice design to it. The scissor-switches under the keys allow for a quieter and quicker key press over that of standard keyboards. Using the scissor-switched also allowed for Cougar to user flatter keycaps making the keyboard a bit thinner than normal and also allowing from easy transition from laptop to 200K if need be.
On the bottom side of the 200K, there is not much going on but that is to be expected really. There is a couple of feet so users can raise the keyboard up a bit and then there are a few rubber feet to stop the keyboard from sliding around users desks when in use. Smack dab in the middle is a little sticker with some information on it that hopefully you will not ever really need.
As mentioned the Cougar 200K comes with a backlighting system that can be any one of 7 colours. The backlight can have a breathing effect or it also has different brightness settings so users can get just the look they want. I was quite impressed with how well the colours looked in the real word, the images below will not do it justice, unfortunately.
