Gigabyte Aivia K8100 Gaming Keyboard Review

Test Setup
Peripherals like mice and keyboards are generally a little tough to benchmark as there is no real way of getting stats and figures from them in a test environment. What we do with these are to use them in a variety of tasks from gaming to general use and in the case of this board, I have written this review using it.
What I will be looking for is its responsiveness during gaming and whilst typing at speed. Comfort, feel and ease of use will also be looked at during this period.
Obviously all these views are likely to differ slightly from one person to another, ie I may like lighter keys and a larger wrist rest and someone else may like firmer keys and no rest.
Our test bed consists of the following:
| Test System | |
|---|---|
| Processor (CPU) | AMD Phenom II X6 1100T |
| Motherboard | Asus Crosshair IV Formula |
| Memory (RAM) | 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1800MHz |
|
Graphics Card |
AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB |
| Primary Hard Drive | Kingston V+ Series 64GB SSD x 2 (Raid 0) |
| Power Supply | BFG EX Series 1200watt |
| Operating System | Windows 7 Professional 64-bit |
