The Genesis Thor 300 RGB is a mechanical keyboard, which both ardent and professional gamers will surely appreciate. Inside an aluminium case you will find a set of mechanical Outemu Brown switches. The manufacturer emphasizes their durability of up to 50 million clicks, short reaction time of 8 milliseconds and low force required for activation (55 g).

The switches are covered with caps which are resistant to wear and tear thanks to Double Injection technology. The Genesis Thor 300 RGB offers players the ability to press all keys at once (full N-Key rollover) as well as PRISMO effect RGB LED illumination. The manufacturer prepared 25 illumination sets, so each and every player should find one to their liking.



The Genesis Thor 300 RGB keyboard settings can be adjusted with an application. It allows not only for the configuration of the illumination, but also the creation of macros in an editor, as well as saving them in defined profiles. When it comes to practical solutions, the device is equipped with a cable organizer as well as multimedia function keys.
