The stand alone TKL keyboard (80% portion) has a hard wired 2m cotton braided cable that ends in an 18ct gold plated connector, which is nice. The keycaps have a durable UV coating and then overall aesthetic is neat and attractive.


The Fkeys double up as FN media keys, featuring an internet home, google, facebook, twitter, mail, task manager, calculator, media player, play/pause, stop, skip back and skip forward functions. Some of these seem a little strange, but they are a nice inclusion regardless.


A standout feature of the keyboard are the rubberised mouse wheel like dials. The left hand wheel controls the backlighting brightness, clicking it in switches the lighting off/on. The right hand dial is for volume, clicking it in mutes.


The dimensions of the keyboard seem rather squared off, and on either side there are a row of 4 pins where the macropad can lock in magnetically.


The Thunder K7 is only available in CHERRY MX Red, for the larger keys instead of using dummy switch stabilisers, they have opted to use the metal bar method to evenly distribute the pressure when a key is pressed. This is disappointing for the price, though as with many other products it will do the trick. Although the backlighting is only in Orange (UK version), the various lock keys toggle between orange/white to show they are enabled.


The underside is rather plain though the fold out feet are coated in a non-slip rubber and are extra large. There is no additional cable routing or USB/audio passthroughs featured.


The macro pad isn't a standard layout numpad and features 20 keys. The large logo button is a profile toggle that has 5 customisable profiles alongside the default numpad profile, allowing for up to 100 programmable macros.


The macro pad follows in suit with the keyboard aesthetically and features the connectors either side. The included cable attaches to the connectors magnetically and can be used stand alone.


The macropad also uses the CHERRY MX Red switches for consistency, unlike the lock keys on the main 80% portion toggle between orange/white, the numlock key does not.


The underside of the macropad features a single large stand similar to that on the keyboard to hold it up.


Having the macropad orientated on the left will allow gamers to have the extra space benefits of a TKL keyboard, yet have the functionality of the numpad and macros. The orange backlighting (UK version) may not be to everyone's taste, despite that, we think it looks fantastic and will be a great alternative colour scheme for anyone not too fussed about RGB lighting.
