be quiet! Dark Mount Keyboard Review

For this review I installed the latest version of the be quiet! IO Center. Version 1.0.6. The software looks great and even includes a nice tutorial. We also updated to the latest firmware. Version 1.5.0.

Sections are divided up between four major sections: Illumination, Key Bindings, Media Dock and Product Settings.

Illumination provides ARGB support with six presets. You can also layer colors for custom setups. I found the under key lighting to be dimmer than expected but that might just be the tradeoff for the silent nature of the keys.

Key Binding lets you do mapping at the individual key level. You can add a secondary function to each key by programming the FN + Key combination. You can also program Macros with a simple but intuitive interface that will even look at your mouse.  Each of the eight custom display keys can be custom bound for macros using the preconfigured icons covering most popular applications or you can build your own

Product settings (not shown) give you the ability to disable key combinations individually or enable Game Mode (via Fn + Pause) to disable then all at once on the fly. Nice.
