The GAMDIAS™ ARES P2 is a 3-in-1 gaming combo designed for an enhanced gaming experience. This package includes a gaming keyboard, an optical gaming mouse, and a gaming mouse mat. The system requirements for this combo are Windows® XP/ Vista / 7/8/10 and a PC with USB ports.

The GAMDIAS™ ARES P2 gaming keyboard features a comfortable design and a spill-resistant structure, making it durable for long gaming sessions. The keyboard layout includes standard alphanumeric keys, function keys (F1-F12), and a numeric keypad. It also incorporates several multimedia shortcut keys for quick access to common functions. These include keys for "My Computer," "Email," "Home," "Calculator," "Stop," "Previous," "Play/Pause," and "Next." These shortcuts are easily accessible, allowing users to control various applications without interrupting their gameplay.

One of the key usage features of the keyboard is the ability to swap between WASD and arrow key modes. This can be done by pressing [Fn + W] once to enable the swap mode and pressing it again to disable it, providing flexibility for different gaming styles or applications.

The keyboard also includes a "Game mode" feature. By pressing [Fn + Win] once, users can lock the Windows key, preventing accidental presses that might disrupt gameplay. Pressing [Fn + Win] again will unlock the key.

For personalized aesthetics and visibility, the keyboard offers backlight brightness level adjustment. Users can increase the brightness by pressing [Fn + Up] and decrease it by pressing [Fn + Down]. Additionally, the keyboard allows for speed adjustment of shortcut keys. Pressing [Fn + Right] increases the speed, while [Fn + Left] decreases it.

The GAMDIAS™ ARES P2 keyboard features various lighting effects that can be switched by pressing [Fn + Scroll Lock]. For "Breathing" and "Static" lighting modes, users can also switch the keyboard light color by pressing [Fn + Ins].

Volume control is integrated into the keyboard through a dedicated knob. Turning the knob to the left decreases the volume, and turning it to the right increases it. Pressing the knob activates or deactivates silent mode, offering convenient audio management.

The GAMDIAS™ ARES P2 optical gaming mouse is designed for precision and responsiveness. It employs a premium micro-processor complemented by a 3,600 DPI precision-perfect optical sensor, ensuring accurate tracking and smooth movement. The mouse features several buttons: Left Key, Middle Key, Right Key, Combo Key, and DPI Key. Additionally, it includes "Forward" and "Backward" buttons, typically located on the side, for quick navigation in web browsers or other applications. The DPI key allows users to adjust the mouse sensitivity on the fly, adapting to different gaming scenarios or personal preferences.

The overall design of the mouse is ergonomic, providing a comfortable grip for extended use. The combination of the keyboard and mouse, along with the included gaming mouse mat, creates a cohesive gaming setup.

While the manual primarily focuses on usage features, the spill-resistant structure of the keyboard can be considered a maintenance feature, as it helps protect the device from accidental liquid damage, contributing to its longevity. The robust design of both the keyboard and mouse suggests a focus on durability, which is an indirect maintenance benefit.
