The 2nd interactive mode is a ripple effect. In this mode, you can also change the “default” state of the non-pressed keys to be off or any of the 7 colors. The color choices are any of the 7 listed earlier, or “random”. This means when you press a key, it will light a certain color. The first is a “ on-click key lighting” mode. There are four different interactive backlighting modes you can choose between by pressing Fn + Insert. There are 4 different brightness levels and off. Adjusting Backlighting Brightness/Speedīy pressing Fn + left arrow or right arrow, you can slow down or speed up the animation of the backlighting, where applicable.īy pressing Fn + down arrow or up arrow you can decrease or increase the brightness of the backlights. Once you’re done setting the key colors, press Fn + 11 again to save it. The different colors are- green, blue, yellow, white, red, purple, aqua, and off.
Press each key to set it to the color you’d like for it to be. Once you’re on a profile, press Fn + F11 and your indicator lights (caps lock, scroll lock, etc) will flash rapidly, meaning you’re in programming mode. The HV-KB389L allows for 3 different custom backlighting profiles that you can access by press Fn + 1/2/3. Everything is pretty straightforward if you read the instructions instead of trying to figure it out only looking at the key icons. The instruction booklet that comes with this keyboard does a pretty good job at describing how to use the backlights, but we’ll give you a run down so you know what to expect.
How to Change the HV-KB389L Backlighting Settings While the side lighting will draw a lot of your attention, it’s also worth noting that the backlighting is just as beautiful as any RGB keyboard HAVIT has put out.
If that’s the price you have to pay for such great side lighting, it’s well worth it in our opinion. You’ll also notice that the HV-KB389L has a kind of “wrist rest” almost built into it that gives it a deeper footprint than you’d normally want in a mechanical keyboard. Here’s a look at the thin lip that is lit all the way across the front of this keyboard. You can operate the side lighting independently of the backlighting to make for some awesome color schemes. Not only does this keyboard have RGB backlighting under the keys, but it also has RGB backlighting along the sides of the keyboard the entire way around! Now, for the section you’re probably most interested in. If you’re the type that uses the kick-out legs on your keyboard, you’ve probably had an experience where the keyboard slides all over with the legs out because there isn’t sufficient rubber padding on the legs to prevent it. That certainly won’t be the case here, as grey rubber covers most of the legs. The rubber pads do a good job of preventing slipping. On the bottom of the keyboard you can see the USB cable is not detachable, but it is 3 way channeled to suit your desk setup. Hold on for another minute, we’ll come back to that! What you may notice about this side angle is the tapered clear plastic that runs between the white top and bottom. The profile of the keys are slightly inclined in a standard fashion. The icons on the keys that indicate secondary functions like the media hotkeys and backlighting control seem to be a bronze/silver kind of color that also looks great.įrom the side, you can see this keyboard is pretty sleek and has a slight ridge to the bottom of it. This keyboard would pair nicely with any Apple products you have around, making it a great keyboard for a Mac.
We’ve put together a list of the best white mechanical keyboards, as some people look long and hard for a white keyboard like this. The all-white design is unique for a mechanical keyboard most that you see today are largely black. Here’s a first look at this beauty out of the box. The HV-KB389L RGB comes with the keyboard, a keycap puller, and instruction manual. All the features are laid out on the front and back of the box. The HAVIT packaging seems to be standardized across all their keyboards now, and the boxes look pretty good. As with all of our mechanical keyboard reviews, we’ll start by showing you the hands-on unboxing of the keyboard an then move on to the actual review. The HV-KB389L is similarly a full-sized mechanical keyboard, but the style of it is what really sets it apart. As you can see, I’m very familiar with HAVIT and am very excited to review this mechanical keyboard. We’ve reviewed both the 366L and 378L in the past with the 366L being one of our favorite cheap mechanical keyboards. The HAVIT HV-KB389L RGB mechanical keyboard is the latest and greatest keyboard from upstart HAVIT.
