GAMDIAS HERMES P1 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-09-10

Since this keyboard does arrive with the exact same switch model as the ROCCAT Suora FX, we have had a similar overall experience when using it while playing games such as Kritika Online, Agents of Mayhem, Black Desert Online or Secret World Legends. The unified HERA software offers plenty of configuration options (does have a portable version available as well), while several options can be accessed right from the keyboard, thanks to the multitude of function keys. We do get a free plastic wrist rest in the package and the custom keycaps do look great when the LED lighting is activated.

The next function keys do also sport multimedia functions:

The F9 key does enable on-the-fly Macro recording, while the F11 locks the keyboard completely (an interesting feature by the way):

From 1 to 6, we will get to see the sets of customizable gaming profiles:

G1 and G2 offer a macro each for every profile:

While we were used before to see on most keyboards the Windows key on the left side of the Spacebar and the FN key on the right, on the HERMES P1 RGB these are switched:

On the top of the directional keys, we can see even more functions:

-Insert key does enable Wave LED lighting effect

-Home key does enable a Slide-in LED lighting effect

-Delete key does enable Rotation LED effect

-End key does enable a Static LED light, and also from this button, if pressed again, we can turn the LEDs off

-Page Up/Down keys allows the user to adjust the speed steps

The numeric pad does also have the 2 and 8 keys double functions for adjusting the LED light intensity:

In the top right corner, we can see the Num Lock, Caps Lock and Gaming mode LEDs:

The top-mounted switches do allow an easy cleaning process:
