PRODUCT COMPOSITION
The front of the box has a cutout giving the buyer a nice view of the product. The rest of the packaging is pretty no-frills with the features listed on the back in a few different languages. Also it should be noted that Saitek designed this for left handed use only.
PRODUCT PICTORIAL AND WALKTHROUGH
In addition to the keyboard with a 6 foot long USB cord attached, a software CD and a manual are included. Pretty basic stuff.
The unit has a total of 21 numbered keys, a left thumb stick, and a switch to change between three different modes – normal (or “user” mode), FPS, and RTS. Each mode is represented by a different color. Like other Saitek keyboards, the keys are laser etched and backlit.
A look at the back shows two rubber pads near the top and one at the bottom to help keep the unit from sliding around.
