Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the eye-catching new Gigabyte Aivia K8100 gaming keyboard.

Here's what they had to say:

"While the Aivia may have some issues with more mundane tasks, this shouldn’t detract one’s attention from the real purpose of this peripheral: to deliver the best possible gaming experience. In this sense it really is the keyboard version of a supercar: in its own intended environment, it can keep up with the best this industry has to offer but stepping outside its comfort zone leads to mixed results. You really wouldn’t want to use a Ferrari for hauling around a brace of kids and the K8100 shouldn’t be your first choice for “day to day” tasks. On the flip side, Gigabyte has created a product that should be considered an exceptional non-mechanical keyboard that rightfully puts gaming above all else. The K8100 absolutely excels in the market niche it was designed to target and as such wins our Dam Good Award."


This is a very solid product from a company that is not really known for their gaming peripherals. It's definitely unlike any other keyboard that I've seen.
