Tars T1 Functional Development
Screen Function Programs
Our in-house R&D team has developed and calibrated four fixed default programs for the screen, which users can easily switch between via shortcut keys. You can also switch among three background colors to match your keyboard perfectly!
Knob Functions
The knob is programmed to adjust volume, pause/play (mute) media— a highly convenient feature for both office work and gaming!
Program 1
Main display: Time, date, tri-mode connection status, GIFs. Custom images/GIFs can be uploaded via the Tars Works app. Simply connect the keyboard to the app and calibrate the time to use this feature.
Program 2
Main display: Keystroke feedback, GIFs, APM (Actions Per Minute) typing speed.
Program 3
Capybara dynamic animation that syncs with keystrokes.
Program 4
Built-in pixel Snake game with real-time game data recording. We hope this nostalgic pixel game brings back your childhood memories!
Program 5
In addition to the four fixed default programs, users can also set custom images or GIFs as the screen display.
Tri-Mode Connection, Power Consumption Optimization & Development
Antenna Optimization
We have meticulously designed dedicated antennas for Bluetooth and 2.4G connectivity. After testing various antenna designs, we ultimately selected the inverted-F antenna and fine-tuned its PCB parameters—this optimizes signal transmission distance by 23% and reduces power consumption by 15%, significantly extending the keyboard's battery life.
Full NKRO & Latency Optimization
Both Bluetooth and 2.4G modes support Full N-Key Rollover (NKRO). Bluetooth inherently has higher latency, and Full NKRO requires transmitting large volumes of data per keystroke, which would further increase response time. To minimize Bluetooth latency to an unnoticeable level for users, we have implemented dozens of optimizations to key value transmission coding, and adopted a patented asymmetric coding technology. This technology leverages the keyboard's debounce delay to perform predictive coding and transmission, drastically reducing latency for both Bluetooth and 2.4G: 30% lower latency for Bluetooth and 18% lower latency for 2.4G.
