GENESIS Thor 404 TKL keyboard Gaming USB QWERTZ German Black

A new incarnation of a legend. Welcome Genesis Thor 404 TKL – the successor to the acclaimed and award-winning Genesis Thor 303 TKL model. A completely new design (non-floating key), Kailh Box Brown V2 switches providing lightning-fast response, and Hot-Swap technology allowing tool-free mechanism replacement are not its only advantages. New, better, more advanced. Here is Genesis Thor 404 TKL with DE key layout.

NEW SWITCHES. GREATER PRECISION

Are you expecting smooth movement and dynamism that will help you dominate your opponents? We understand that well, which is why we equipped Genesis Thor 404 TKL with advanced Kailh Box Brown V2 switches with a non-linear characteristic. With a durability of 80 million clicks, activation after a 2 mm press, and an actuation force of only 55 g, that's not all. Combined with a 1 ms response time, Kailh Box Brown V2 switches offer significantly better experiences compared to classic Kailh Box Brown switches. A more noticeable return of the switch to its initial position and greater clarity. Want to improve your gaming performance? You can count on it.  

DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Switches are one thing. However, we haven't forgotten about key elements such as stabilisers and lubrication. It is thanks to them that we were able to maximize the performance of Kailh Box Brown V2 switches. The result? Smoother switch operation and quieter performance in any situation.  

REPLACE A SWITCH IN JUST A FEW SECONDS

Want to change a switch, all without the need for additional tools or technical knowledge? Get to know the Hot-Swap technique, which allows you to do it in just a few seconds. With it, you can not only customise the key operation to your own preferences but also extend its lifespan by replacing the mechanism with a brand new one. Simple, isn't it?  

QUIETER THAN USUAL

Are you tired of noise? To meet the expectations of demanding users, inside the Genesis Thor 404 TKL we have placed a special soundproofing foam that absorbs vibrations and dampens key strokes during the most dynamic actions. With Genesis Thor 404 TKL night games become possible.

CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT SURPRISES

Greater key stability and a more compact design. Discover the benefits of a closed housing that won't budge even during the most dynamic actions. What's more, the device's massive frame means no flexing under heavy pressure. And the keys? We haven't forgotten about them either. Classic profiling and construction using Double-Shot technology guarantee trouble-free operation for a really long time. Looking for a keyboard for years to come? Genesis Thor 404 TKL will meet your expectations.

How to use

Connect the keyboard to a compatible PC using the USB cable; the system will recognise a standard USB keyboard layout. Adjust RGB lighting and any available onboard settings according to your preferences, then begin typing or gaming. To replace a switch, power off the PC, remove the keycap with a keycap puller, gently pull the switch straight out from the Hot-Swap socket and insert a compatible replacement switch until it seats firmly. Reattach the keycap and test the key function.

Recommendations

For stable performance, use compatible mechanical switches rated for Hot-Swap sockets and avoid excessive sideways force when inserting or removing switches. Clean keycaps and surface dust regularly and keep the keyboard on a flat, stable surface. If you plan to replace switches, ensure switches are oriented correctly and aligned with the socket pins before insertion.
