Gigabyte Aivia Osmium mechanical gaming 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.

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...

GIGABYTE Aivia Osmium Review

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?
