MK-85 Software

Another advantage of mechanical keyboards is the fact that as each switch can be addressed individually, there are no problems with groups of keys not being properly recognized. That said, this functionality is usually only provided over the obsolete PS/2-connection and the MK-85 is the first keyboard to offer full N-key roll over USB. To test this in practice we used Aqua's KeyTest which shows key-presses in real time. In the example 27 buttons are already pressed when I finally hit the print screen-button.

The software of the MK-85 is very sleek and easy to use. The first step is to choose which profile you want to tweak, then choose which of the ten macro-keys you want to modify, choose which key to use for the macro, and finally the functionality. The drop many packs the usual choices of cut/copy/paste and starting programs, as well as the macros.

Also the macro-editor is easy to use and works in similar fashion with other keyboards we've reviewed. Press record, type in the button sequence, finish by tweaking the desired delays and you're done.
