Gigabyte Aivia Osmium review

While the likes of the Mad Catz STRIKE 7 keyboard are a bit of a guilty pleasure for this here reviewer, I am infinitely more pleased by simpler, more effective keyboard design.

Great to use ; Simple design ; Five profiles ; Dimmable backlighting ; Decent price

Lights a bit bright on full

So, the GIGABYTE Aivia Osmium is a great performer with a few very interesting features. What does that mean for our overall verdict?
