First things first about this keyboard, the packaging came with the keyboard, the plastic wrap for the keyboard and a colorful box. This is not a Wireless keyboard, meaning that there is no need for batteries and the box while colorful is not really eye-catching. A picture of the Caesar keyboard along with the main features of the keyboard is on the front of the box.

The weight of the keyboard is important to use while typing. After all, if you want to use a keyboard for typing, the lighter keyboards may move when you don’t expect it to. 3.2 pounds is about the heaviest I’ve ever seen from a keyboard, besides the Saitek Eclipse keyboard that I use for everyday use. The weight of the board caused no issues during typing or gaming.

The keyboard is made out of brushed aluminum and steel-mesh. Aluminum is a lightweight strong metal that is used in cases, Coca-Cola cans and other metal objects. The keyboard has a metal steel-mesh grill that looks really awesome. If you’re worried about imprints from the keyboard grill on the bottom of the keyboard, don’t be, the keyboard won’t leave an imprint.

The Caesar is a USB Keyboard, meaning that it connects to the computer via a USB connection. Keyboards that come with USB ports on the side are fast becoming the norm for good keyboards. The Caesar comes with two USB 2.0 ports to allow it to act as a USB hub for those that want to connect USB devices to the keyboard. One USB port is on each side of the keyboard.

The layout of the keyboard is the standard QWERTY keyboard layout found on virtually every Windows based keyboard today. There are 104 standard keys including every letter of the alphabet, two sets of numeric keys, twelve function keys, Escape key and two Windows keys. Enermax includes 10 extra keys in the form of Play/Pause, Stop, Mute, and Volume Up, Volume Down keys for Media playback and Mail, Search, Flip 3D, Gadgets, and Media Center Start for Vista keys. An Enermax state that the Caesar keyboard has three heights with rubber stands to adjust the height. I prefer my keyboard to be flat against the table but everyone has their own opinion and can adjust it accordingly.
