In this way, the Aqua and Lavanda Special Edition variants join Newskill’s 60% family of ultra-compact keyboards; As you know, this type of keyboard lacks a numeric pad like the TKL keyboards, but the function keys (F1-F12), the cursors and the editing keys are also removed, so that its size is reduced by 40% and Only the keys that we frequently use in gaming remain, saving a large amount of space on the table and giving us just the functionality we need, no more, no less.

We are, as we can see, in front of a very compact and wireless keyboard (60% format since it occupies exactly 60% of what a conventional keyboard occupies), something that helps to have the desk organized and clean, with much more space to be able to move comfortably the mouse. In addition, as we have already explained, this type of keyboard helps gamers to concentrate on the game, eliminating the keys that they will not use from the hardware.
These two special editions stand out for their colors in blue (Aqua) and violet (Lavender), with some of their caps also in white to contrast and give more dynamism to the aesthetic appearance of the device. These models offer a spectacular combination of the best gaming features with a very careful design.
Of course, Newskill has integrated into these two new models of its Pyros keyboard the same features that made the original model a top seller, such as its long-lasting battery (up to 58 hours if the lighting is turned off or about 10 hours with it) , its connection both by cable and wireless via Bluetooth, or its functionality for which you do not need software of any kind to be able to get the most out of it.
In this case, the type of mechanical switch used in the original Pyros is also shared, with Outemu RED switches that have a linear and precise operation, silent and without tactile feedback to have the highest possible speed in the games. Of course, these switches (which have individual lighting per key) also provide the best Full N-Key Rollover anti-ghosting technology, so that we can press as many keys simultaneously as we want without the keyboard getting stuck.
As for its RGB lighting, it should be noted that it already comes with 17 pre-configured profiles from the factory, although it is true that we can also configure the lighting to our liking if we decide to use its software. It also has multimedia and function keys in combination with the Fn key (which in this case has the Newskill logo and is located in the lower right corner of the keyboard) so that, if needed, we do not lack any functionality. Finally, it should be noted that it also offers the possibility of recording and assigning macros if you want using the software, which by the way works on both Windows PC and Mac.
Availability and price
These two new variants of the famous Newskill Pyros keyboards are already available on the Newskill website (Aqua and Lavender) at a sale price of 79.95 Euros, although at this moment they are with a launch offer and you can buy them for 69, 95 Euros. Very soon we will also be able to find them in the rest of the usual stores and distributors of this brand, such as Amazon Spain or PcComponentes.
