    Re: Aorus K9 gaming keyboard uses infrared optical keyswitches

    So... considering they're optical keys, will they respond faster or slower depending on the selected colour?

    I've learned not to buy expensive keyboards any more. I bought the Corsair K70 and immediately (no more than 2 hours into using it) managed to throw a Banana Daiquri onto it. Most middle-class accident ever. Still works fine, to be fair. CTRL key is a bit sticky though...

    I feel like aorus could have done more here to make the product like like their own. All these keyboards look the same.

    Maybe with a wider Gigabyte theme to the peripherals and components that might work, but I prefer the ability to better coordinate different items I purchased for their functionality before their brand.

    Is this just marketing gibberish or actually a step-up over a decent mechanical keyboard?
