However, since batteries are required for a cable-free use-case (2.4GHz and Bluetooth also work with Cable), actual compatibility depends on whether there is enough space for the batteries in the case and must therefore be tested on a case-by-case basis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePer-key RGB and modern connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PCB features per-key RGB LEDs: each key individually configurable.
