The keyboard incorporates a USB pass-through port, offering convenient connectivity for other peripherals or devices. It also comes with a magnetic detachable leather wrist rest, designed to enhance comfort during extended gaming sessions. The 1.8-meter braided cable ensures durability and reliable connectivity.
