## Questions & Answers

**Q: seriously does anyone know how to change the colour of the lights iv been looking for ages?**
A: To change colors you need to use FN + Caps Lock on the keyboards. Best Regards

**Q: is it wireless**
A: No it has a wire

**Q: Does this keyboard need one or two usb cables?**
A: One cable.  It's not a hub or pass through.

**Q: Anyone had an issue with keys not working from time to time?**
A: I had an issue once where a keystroke registered as another character, so I did a factory reset of the keyboard settings, and the problem went away.  To do that, here is a quote from the manual (p.7): "Reset.  NOTE: The Reset function restores the system to the default	settings.
To reset to the default settings: • Press and hold Fn	+ Delete for about three (seconds) until the Nums Lock, Caps Lock, and Win Lock LEDS flash thrice, then flash	once to	indicate that the reset	process	is completed."

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Quiet Gaming Keyboard
*by P***S on June 10, 2017*

Quiet gaming keyboard! I used to have a mechanical gaming keyboard but it was just too loud. After reading several reviews and watching youtube videos, I decided to buy this keyboard and it didn't disappoint me. Some people complained about the lettering or the surface finish of the keys and some of their complaints are true. The finish is not always even in color but I don't really care about that much since I usually use this keyboard in the dark. That's where the back light come in handy. At the brightest light level, it's very easy to see the key in the dark. At the lowest level it's a bit dimmer but it's not terrible. There 2 colors, red and blue-,for the light. I prefer blue since it's much brighter. By the way, it's not obvious but Fn+Caplock is how you change the color. However, the red function seems to also make ASWD keys into arrow keys. There seems to be many functions you could do but I have lost the manual so I haven't figured out all the things you can do with the Fn + <key>. Fn + Insert seems to lock your keyboard out (only in red mode) but if you do Fn + ESC then the keys turn purple and everything is reset. Anyway, it's a neat, well built keyboard with many features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the price, good feel, great lighting around keys and behind letters.
*by N***E on September 4, 2016*

The media could not be loaded. Daughter spilled yet another drink on another of my gaming keyboards, did not want to invest another $100 but had specific desires such as red back light and a quality build, while being comfortable for extended use. The design is appealing, and simple, while still offering media keys, some macro ability, and a cool design. The Cerberus is comfortable to use, I have enjoyed the feel of the keys and the sensation of the key feedback. It is physical similar to a mechanical but more smooth. The back light is very solid and impressive. Many keyboards lack a filling light or don';t have enough behind letters, the Cerberus has full filling and solid lighting. A couple of wishes for this would be software to control the macros and give you more options for macro ability, but autohotkey fixes that issue easy enough. The second would be slower and smoother mood lighting. It is pretty cool to have the pulsating light, but it appears to fast for my tastes. More options on the pulsation would be nice.I included a badly done but simple video to show others how the pulsing lights work if you are interested.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ very quiet non-mechanical gaming keyboard -- rare combination
*by K***R on December 9, 2016*

LIKE-- very quiet gaming keyboard (a rare combination)-- 19-key rollover: QWE / ASD / ZXC, Tab, Left Shift, Left Alt, Left Ctrl, B, Space, Arrow keys.-- keyboard stays firm when keys are pressed (internal metal plate)-- keys are firmly in place -- the keycaps do not wobble-- keys are slightly concave (in a vertical-cylindrical manner)-- keys are ABS and coated to have a slightly rough/matte finish-- F and J have a small bump so you can quickly find the ASDF JKL; homekeys for typing -- also 5 on numberpad-- dedicated media and volume keys-- additional function capability (binding of F-keys to activate Browser, Mail, Calculator, etc.)-- Macro capability, 'rapid fire' capability-- windows button quickly/easily disabled/enabled-- Red or Blue LED backlighting with 4 levels of brightness and a 'breathing mode' (oscillation between low and high brightness)-- "spill proof" (did not test)-- braided cable-- very solid/sturdy build -- does not feel cheap/flimsy-- no software installation necessaryNEUTRAL-- longevity of rubber dome mechanism? 8 million keystrokes claimed-- aggressive styling with thin vertical slots on each side accented with salmon pink -- the coloring is consistent with other 'Cerberus' themed products (mouse, headphones). Also, when the red LED backlighting is on its lowest setting, the coloring on the side actually matches to give the illusion of being lit by red LEDs.DISLIKE-- product registration on Asus website supposedly activates a warranty period after purchase, but the duration of that warranty is not actually specified or advertised anywhere, only that the duration varies by region. So, 'spill proof' keyboard with non-descript warranty period.-- the top surface of the bottom row of keys is elevated in a manner that makes presssing the spacebar more challenging than it needs to be. If it were up to me to improve it, I would consider tapering the bottom row of keys down. As it is now, thumbs rest on the side of the spacebar and have to be moved very close to your index finger to activate. A high wrist position is necessary to make that comfortable. This could be a personal preference.-- the matte finish on the keys appears does not appear to be uniformly appliedTHOUGHTS-- This keyboard could actually work well for both quiet gaming and word processing based on features identified above.-- I compared this keyboard to Microsoft Sidewinder X4 (comparable red backlighting, but loud), SteelSeries Apex 300 (white backlighting, but loud), Zalman ZM-K600S (no backlighting), Logitech K800 (quiet, but no rollover capability), and the Corsair Strafe MX Silent (quiet mechanical). The Asus Cerberus actually sounds quieter than the K800 because the noise has a lower pitch.CONCLUSIONS-- This is a modestly priced non-mechanical gaming keyboard that happens to be very quiet. That fact should be given greater prominence in the advertising because many gamers are likely to have roommates that are trying to sleep. A good comparison might be to the Gigabyte Force K7, also reputed to be a quiet gaming keyboard (scissor switches), but at the time of this review it is no longer in production. The Corsair Strafe MX Silent (the red LED version is ~$90 at time of this review) is an excellent keyboard for ~$30 more that is only very slightly 'louder' due to a mix of high and low-pitch sounds.SOUND COMPARISONLoudest --> Quietest-- Microsoft Sidewinder X4 (membrane) -- typing is loud due to wobbly keycaps -- loudest (full N-key rollover)-- SteelSeries Apex 300 (membrane) -- typing is loud due to wobbly keycaps -- almost as loud as Sidewinder X4 (20-key rollover)-- Zalman ZM-K600S (membrane) -- slightly quieter than Sidewinder X4 with lower-pitched noise (full N-key rollover)-- Corsair Strafe (Cherry MX Silent) -- very quiet, mix of low and higher-pitched noise, like a mouse chewing through cardboard (full N-key rollover)-- Logitech K800 (scissor switches) -- very quiet, high-pitched noise, like soft footsteps on tile (limited rollover capability)-- Logitech K810 (scissor switches) -- very quiet, high-pitched noise, like soft footsteps on tile (limited rollover capability)-- Asus Cerberus (rubber dome) -- very quiet, low-pitched noise, like soft footsteps on carpet (19-key rollover)
