Front

The Lobera is the first rubber dome keyboard from Tesoro and it uses a standard layout. The Lobera can be categorized as an FPS gaming keyboard, since there are no extra macro keys or a whole lot of other different buttons. It is only right below the space bar, that you find three M-keys, which, when programmed, can be set to certain key-configurations. A closer look at the upper right corner, reveals different indicators for "Caps Lock", "Num Lock" and "Scroll Lock". Other than that, there is a "G" and "R" indicator light, which lets gamers activate macros (G) and shows if macros are being recorded (R). You might have noticed the purple bezel with the Tesoro logo and in our opinion it simply ruins the looks of a otherwise perfectly good. The Lobera uses the same design as the Colada, which we previously reviewed, but this time around, we find ABS instead the aluminium. Anyway the quality and the materials are still very good.



Tesoro equipped the Lobera with an FN button located right next to ALT GR. With the FN button the F keys can also be used with multimedia function (F1 to F6) and gamer functions from F8 to F12. With the first set of buttons you can adjust volume and skip through your playlist, with the second you can switch between up to five gaming profiles. The brightness can be adjusted using the numeric keypad (fn + button 2 and 8) and there are three levels of backlight. Last but not least, on the the left and the right side of the keyboard you can find RGB LEDs, which can make the keyboard shine in all colors. The backlight is quite good in almost all colors.

Back

On the rear profile, there are two USB 2.0 ports, an auxiliary power supply and a small panel audio. The plastic around the connectors is too thick, so we has some troubles with plugging in some 3.5mm jacks. On the bottom side you can find the adjustable feet, which can be set in two different levels. The build quality on this part of the keyboard is also excellent and we like the sleeved cables and the gold plated connectors.
