| Our global verdict about this keyboard is more than positive
as Gigabyte managed to create a solid and high-quality product, almost free of flaws. We
definitely like the fact that this a heavy keyboard, with an attractive but not excessive design typical for gaming peripherals. The blue backlight is clear, precise and never excessive. Last but not least, we liked the sound and backlight
wheel control, since these are very easy to use. |

| Overall, we can say that the materials used on the Gigabyte Osmium are great, very sturdy and pleasant to touch. The Gigabyte Osmium gaming
keyboard is really comfortable to use, all the keys are well placed and
easy to reach so you will not find yourself pressing the wrong key by accident. The comfort of a keyboard is always a very subjective question,
but in our opinion, the G buttons, located at the top of the keyboard, are not so easy to reach as
you need to lift up your hand from the palm rest. In addition to standard programmable
buttons, the Gigabyte Osmium also has the multi-fuction F keys which
make the usage of the keyboard much easier. The key travel is precise
and linear while the feedback is always good and perfect as you would expect from a mechanical keyboard
in this range. Gigabyte placed two USB ports at the back of the keyboard, one
USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port. |

Recommendation / Price |
|

- |
| The starting price of
the Gigabyte Osmium on Geizhals.eu is about 100 euro excluding shipping costs. In terms of value, the keyboard is certainly a very good product with attractive features like USB
3.0 port. If you are looking for a good keyboard with an attractive, but
not too aggressive design, then the Gigabyte Osmium is a very good choice. |
