Genesis Thor 300 RGB - Review

The truth is that the box is quite typical, with a large image on the front. When we pick it up, what is striking is how extremely heavy the box is. It is not for less, since only the keyboard weighs more than 1.2Kg, so we are talking about a strong keyboard.

Let's go now with the back of this box. Here we already find enough more information regarding this keyboard. Some of the features of this keyboard are highlighted, in addition to highlighting the mechanical switches that this keyboard uses.

It is interesting that the outer box is simply a cover for an inner sober box. Inside the 'decorative' box we find a second box, much more sober. This box only has the product name and the company logo.

In addition to the Genesis Thor 300 RGB keyboard, inside we find several elements. The first is a small user and installation manual. It comes with a small sticker and a key to remove the keycaps from the keyboard and thus clean the keyboard more easily.

As we can see, this keyboard has a complete design and a layout in Spanish. The truth is that it is a very elegant keyboard, with the mechanical switches that protrude from the structure. The fact that the mechanical switches protrude from the structure allows maintenance tasks to be carried out in a very simple way.

This keyboard integrates the lighting keys on the same keyboard. Although the Genesis Thor 300 RGB allows its management through software, we can do it directly from the keyboard itself. It has a full numeric keyboard.

One aspect that we have not liked too much and that has become quite popular lately is the multimedia keys, integrating them within the function keys (F). A curious aspect of this keyboard, which we will see later, are some lighting keys that allow lighting certain keys.

It has been chosen to install the Outemu Red mechanical switches, considered an economical alternative to the Cherry MX Red. The Outemu Red are linear switches with an actuation force of 60G and a travel of 2mm

Something that we liked a lot is that the keyboard has a meshed cable. Not only does this offer a more aesthetically pleasing finish than the typical plastic cover, it also helps protect the plastic cover that collects the cables. The cable ends in a gold-plated USB port to reduce corrosion.

This Genesis Thor 300 RGB keyboard features individual RGB backlighting for each key. The truth is that you can spend a while looking at the different lighting modes and the different color ranges. We can manage it through software or simply, with the keys arranged on the keyboard itself.

Something quite curious about this keyboard is that it has specific profiles for certain games. If we press the function key and the numbers 1 to 5 a certain number of keys light up. They are necessary for each of the indicated game modes. The 1 is intended for FPS games, 2 for CF titles, 3 for CoD, 4 for LoL and 5 for racing games.
