The top row of F keys are all set with a double function. F1 to F4 are system functions, F5 opens your default media player and F6 to F12 control different aspects of the illumination. The PRTSC key is for macros, the Scroll lock can be used to change the backlight mode, and finally, the Pause Break allows you to record your lighting.


The top edge of the keyboard houses a single USB pass-through as well as an audio pass-through. This is a nice sight as usually, keyboards don’t come with both.


The side profile on the TT Premium X1 RGB is clean as there are no design elements or RGB accent lights. When using the main riser feet they provide roughly 13mm of lift whereas the smaller set gives around 5mm of lift. We really appreciate that there are two sets of feet as you have more scope for setting the keyboard at the right elevation.


Flipping the TT Premium X1 RGB over and you can there isn’t much in terms of styling, but honestly, you don’t spend much time looking here anyways. What is here are some rubber feet, on the keyboard, there are five of them which increases to ten if you utilise the wrist rest.


Finally to the cable and the connections. The cable is braided and thick, so it's a bit troublesome to cable manage, though it does feel very robust. At the very end of the cable are the connections, one is for the main keyboard, one for the USB pass-through and one for the audio pass-through. This means that you’ll need quite a few spare ports to fully utilise the TT Premium X1 RGB’s features.
