In our last roundup of mechanical keyboards, we determined there wasn't a clear winner out of the bunch, and while that's mostly true this time around, there is one that we favor above the rest. That one is G.Skill's Ripjaws KM780 RGB. It's the most balan...

The Aorus Thunder K7 Gaming keyboard is a very solid performer without the ten-key macro keypad. During a couple weeks of solid use, the keyboard didn't miss a beat. The per LED key lighting is as close to perfect as it gets in my opinion. Even at the max...

The Aorus Thunder K7 is one of the coolest keyboards I've ever used. Sure there are plenty of mini-boards out there for purchase but this board has it all in one package. Rather than using several different boards you can just use this one and configure i...
