Trust GXT Callaz, analysis: When less is more
As one of every player's foundations, having a decent customized keyboard when playing can make a significant impact on our games. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these peripherals are typically associated with a somewhat expensive cost, therefore we frequently turn to basic models.
Something we can avoid with the recently introduced Trust GXT Callaz, is a gaming keyboard for all audiences meant to provide a full-color experience, a unique design, and an entry-level pricing ideal for any budget.
The first thing we look at is its design, with a keyboard with cut edges that generate some additional angles to try to keep that more traditional gaming personality, being able to identify it within this region from the first moment despite his decreased body.
And, of course, we have to mention its TKL format, which has a 20% smaller format by surrendering the right side and the numeric keypad while preserving the same stability and comfort as any complete keyboard while boosting its functionality.
And is that this format, which was once exclusively associated with those focusing on a more roaming style, has gradually gained more interest among general users, offering organizational benefits by taking up less space on the desktop, allowing us to use the mouse more widely and, thus, have greater freedom of movement when playing.
In addition to its size, this format has other advantages that improve transportation, such as a weight reduction of 659 grams without compromising performance.
Designed exclusively for the world of gaming, but upon closer inspection, we see that this is not the case and that it is much more than simply another mechanical keyboard for games.
The GXT Callaz accomplishes this by incorporating Red Outemu mechanical switches, which have a lifespan of up to 50 million keystrokes, a trip of 4 millimeters, and an actuation force of 47 grams.
The usage of linear, smooth, smooth, and silent switches by Trust is already a strong indication that they have chosen a gaming but balanced strategy, rather than focusing on an absolute specialization.
All of this, of course, while retaining an important feature like the independent multicolor LED lighting for all of the keys, which we can modify via the keyboard itself with 6 colors and 20 basic configurations.
And, sadly, one of the major concessions to staying inside a reasonable price range is its software, which fully eliminates the need for any form of the digital controller.
So, overall, the keyboard operates admirably, with a response that, after a few minutes of getting used to the type of keystroke, feels very natural.
However, there are some significant flaws, such as a minor limitation in the anti-ghosting input, which means that when we press a larger number of keys, we will lose some of the inputs.
