Anti-ghosting function ; Touch volume control

Dead key action ; Not as solid feeling as some others

Ergonomic board is comfortable to use for long periods, Variable elasticity of keys, Macro keys with multiple profiles, Onboard memory for storing macros and profiles, Wired board to reduce latency, 20 anti-ghosting keys

Odd position for the backlight switch, Would have been nice to see the macro keys lit as well, Wrist rest not easily detachable, Macro keys a little out easy reach whilst gaming

Conclusion Overall I’m very pleased with this board, the outstanding quality that Gigabyte puts into its motherboards and graphics cards has certainly been passed on here. Its comfortable to use and its striking design fits in well on the desk. Do note...

Ergonomic, impressive styling ; 20 Anti-Ghosting keys ; 3 colours to choose ; Silicone cover protector ; Touch and slide volume control

Assignable keys would be best elsewhere ; Without silicone cover, keys feel cheap/loose

As 2011 draws nigh, we have seen a competitive streak from GIGABYTE by way of gaming peripherals over the past few months. Their objective is to tackle the gaming market, releasing a flurry of aggressive products aimed directly at the avid gamer.

Interesting design. Nice typing experience. Can create up to 5 different profiles. Touch volume control. Backlit keys. Easy to use software. Plug-and-play capabilities.

No media keys. Macro buttons are stiff and out of the way. Cannot customize anything outside of the five macro buttons.

Lastly, Gigabyte included extra WASD keys and a handy keycap puller to swap out these heavily-used keys after extended periods of use. They also threw in a silicone keyboard protector, braided cord, and a two-way cord holder.

Robust onboard macro system ; Built incredibly strong & flashy ; Non-obtrusive back lighting

Digital volume behavior ; Hot-keys need better location ; Back light switch is tiny

Overall, GIGABYTE delivered an excellent keyboard aimed at the hard-core gamer audience. From the grandiose presentation and functionality to the solid construction of the product, gamers will be hard-pressed to find better quality. Pricing is $69.99...
