This premium mechanical gaming keyboard offers features galore and unmatched quality.
Mechanical Cherry MX Red key switches ; Lovely finish ; Built like a brick ; Class-leading connectivity
Aggressive rear slope can be uncomfortable ; Expensive
Another nice gaming touch on the Osmium are five keycaps with custom decals like a firebolt, lightning bolt, shield and puma-like face. A key removal tool is included so you can interchange these with any of the regularly shaped keys, especially handy...

Can GIGABYTE's new mechanical keyboard, based around Cherry MX Red switches, impress at the premium end of the peripheral market?
Full size means minimal learning curve ; Cherry MX Red switches ; Blue backlight with variable brightness ; 5 Macro Keys ; Up-to five profiles ; Additional connectivity features
So, the GIGABYTE Aivia Osmium is a great performer with a few very interesting features. What does that mean for our overall verdict?

Recently we reviewed the Aivia Krypton mouse and found it to be pretty good so I shouldn't be surprised if the Osmium keyboard ends up having solid quality. After a bit of delay the Osmium keyboard is on the testing block. Actually it just went through...
The build quality of the Osmium is one of the best I have ever seen in a keyboard. Attention to detail is apparent with this keyboard.

Motherboard vendor goes for a premium gaming experience with its latest mechanical keyboard
Responsive and quiet keys suited for gaming ; Premium design and feel
Brightness of logo and Num, Caps, and Scroll Lock keys can not be adjusted ; Scroll wheels feel loose and lack the keyboard’s overall polish
The Aivia Osmium is a great mechanical keyboard that works well during gameplay. However, a few small design niggles keep it from being perfect.

Cherry MX Red mechanical switches ; Integrated USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports ; Removable wrist rest ; Adjustable backlighting ; Ghost software - 5 gaming profiles ; Quality of construction
Positioning of headphone/mic jacks & USB 3.0 port ; More variety of backlighting colors ; Expensive price
Before sharing with you my conclusion regarding the Gigabyte Aivia Osmium Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, I would like to point out that this entire review is based on my personal experience with it and is, therefore, subjective. Some of the products we...

The Osmium is a very well-rounded product, from small details (like the plastic covers of the connectors) to the extra keys with helpful symbols. As a mechanical keyboard, it's precise, comfortable and very solid on the table. It didn't let us down...
