Packaging and Accessories

Thermaltake packaging is typically big and bold, and the W1 Wireless is no different. We see a plastic wrap over the product box to keep it pristine in transit, and the box itself is large to reflect the larger-than-average keyboard with the fixed wrist rest inside. On the front is the company logo, product name, and a large render of the keyboard, as well as a sticker to let you know of the switches on the unit inside. Two salient marketing features make an appearance as well, with the others alongside another render and the technical specifications in multiple languages on the back. Two double flaps and a seal on the side keep the contents inside in place during transit.


Opening the box, we see the keyboard enclosed not only inside another plastic wrap to keep it free of dust, but also held in place within two thick foam pieces on the sides for added protection to the keyboard. These foam pieces have cutouts that fit the keyboard very well, including angles to account for the thinner wrist rest compared to the keyboard. The other accessories are found either underneath, as with the paperwork, or in a separate compartment up top to ensure the keyboard does not get scratched. Thermaltake includes a warranty policy guide and a more useful quick installation guide in multiple languages (online copy here) that goes over the setup of all three connectivity options in multiple languages.


The other accessories consist of a nice male USB Type-A connector to male USB Type-C cable, which points towards the Type-C connectivity on the keyboard, and a metal wire keycap puller, which is better than the plastic ring pullers because it isn't as likely to scratch the sides of keycaps, though it is also more expensive. Then there's the 2.4 GHz dongle, which is quite small and plugs into an available USB Type-A port on your client device. Finally, and knowing that the W1 Wireless uses replacement AA batteries, Thermaltake includes two non-rechargeable AA batteries in the box to get you started. These are typical 1.5 V alkaline batteries, and you may want to get your own NiMH rechargeable batteries sooner rather than later.
