NVIDIA has unveiled its upcoming computer keycap, the 'GeForce RTX Keyboard Keycap.' One of the most popular settings in a modern video game is 'RTX Ray Tracing,' which enables an extremely high visual quality of light rays due to real-time light simulation. NVIDIA often showcases this feature in a video game with the tagline 'RTX ON' as compared to 'RTX OFF,' to show the difference in visual fidelity.
Now, users can enable 'RTX ON' on their keyboards by installing this keycap. This is metaphorical, as keyboards cannot actually enable RTX Ray Tracing, however it is a comical product that is sure to be purchased by fans of gaming and NVIDIA's products. The GeForce RTX Keyboard Keycap has not yet been confirmed to be a regular retail product, and instead, NVIDIA has notified customers to follow the brand's social media channels for a chance to win one through various giveaways.
