Tesoro Lobera Supreme Keyboard Review

Introduction

Tesoro are one of the fastest growing names in the gaming market, they have already impressed me with their Kuven 7.1 gaming headset, and now they’re back to try to impress me with their latest gaming keyboard; the Lobera Supreme. Tesoro don’t have the biggest range of products right now, but everything I’ve seen from them over the last year, both professionally as a reviewer and personally as a gamer, have left me thoroughly impressed. With that in mind, I do have high expectations for this keyboard, which Tesoro will have to live up to if they want to have any hope of competing in an already saturated and fiercely competitive market.

“Sword of Bravery – Lobera “wolfslayer” is the sword which symbolized power used by Saint Ferdinand III. It has become one of the most famous swords in the history.”

The Tesoro Lebera Supreme has been absolutely packed full of features that will appeal to a gaming audience, such as a switchable N-Key rollover function, mechanical switches (plunger style), macro keys, switchable profiles, live macro recording, full colour illumination, multimedia keys, a built-in USB hub and more! Pretty much everything you would expect from a premium grade gaming keyboard. Now I need to put all of this to the test to make sure it’s as good as it sounds.
