The FOXXRAY BK-20 TOUGHNESS Gaming Keyboard is a wired peripheral designed for PC gaming, offering a robust set of features for an enhanced user experience. This user's guide provides comprehensive information on its system requirements, usage instructions, and key functionalities.

Function Description

The BK-20 TOUGHNESS is a gaming keyboard that connects to a personal computer via a USB port. It is designed to provide a responsive and customizable input experience for gamers. A key feature is its "19 keys conflict free" capability, which ensures that specific combinations of keys commonly used in gaming can be pressed simultaneously without ghosting or missed inputs. These conflict-free keys include Q, A, Z, W, S, X, E, D, C, B, Space, Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Tab, Left Ctrl, Left Shift, and Left Alt. This anti-ghosting functionality is crucial for fast-paced games where multiple commands need to be executed in quick succession.

Beyond standard alphanumeric input, the keyboard integrates multimedia control keys, allowing users to manage audio and video playback directly from the keyboard. It also includes dedicated function keys that, when combined with the FN key, unlock additional features such as launching applications, controlling volume, and managing media playback. A notable gaming-specific feature is the ability to swap the WASD keys with the arrow keys, offering flexibility for different gaming styles or preferences. The keyboard also features a WIN key lock function to prevent accidental presses of the Windows key during gameplay, which could interrupt the game.
