amazon Gigabyte Aivia Osmium reviews
Design
Perhaps many will argue that the Gaming Keyboard looks nothing special. Indeed, Aivia Osmium looks quite simple, not too many vignettes like some other gaming keyboards. But design criteria “simple but beautiful”, Aivia Osmium still cause users immediately recognize this is a genuine gaming keyboard to highlight the profile 5 key phrase and two wheel buttons adjust the volume volume – keyboard brightness.
One thing I find very commendable in Aivia Osmium is material forming products. But just lumpy black plastic, but at least did not use Gigabyte rubber coated plastic like some of the other keyboards. On the other hand, a black matte plastic easy to clean and less dusty than rubber coated plastic.
Just above the key phrase F1 – F4 is 5 profile key from G1 – G5 and two-wheel to adjust the volume / brightness of the screen. Gigabyte has bundled a set of four profiles key with different shapes so that users can personalize your keyboard. Two wheels to adjust the volume / brightness in addition to increasing the volume down, we can press down to mute/unmute or light on/off.
Feeling this roller uses two keys that users feel quite interesting, as the manufacturer has put two keys of the computer mouse scroll pages side by side on the same keyboard.
However, the real highlight on the Gaming Keyboard Osmium is lamp clusters Numb Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock. The whole area is a giant button with a different material than the black plastic lumpy on your keyboard while clicking on backlight the logo Aivia changes color (meaning the keyboard will be converted to other profiles).
Personally I think that in addition to being a quick profile switcher key, the button also brings value kill time very high: Gamers while waiting for the game to load “listless” press and again, again this button to see it change color as how. stage load will pass very quickly, and you continue the journey of your game world.
Osmium cable connection is also a point of making the Gaming Keyboard has a little different. The first impression is that it is quite big, full to 4 jack connections: USB 2.0, USB 3.0, microphone and headphone, all gilded. With all these jack connectors, users can completely turn Osmium keyboard into the “center” of everything.
On the keyboard itself has 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 port 3.0, 2 jack 3.5mm headphone + mic. That means that you can plug “fullset” Gaming Gear includes a keyboard, mouse, headset neatly into the keyboard without stupid wires. I appreciate this design of Gigabyte, because in addition to you can coil it neatly over gamers can also move the whole cluster including keyboards, mice, headsets and mousepad easily without struggling “wiring” as before.
Gigabyte Osmium is a mechanical keyboard, type the red switch. Red switch is a switch types are commonly used in the gaming keyboard, but personally I do not like to use this type.
Bundled Software
I will not say much about Gigabyte Osmium accompanying driver, because it’s nothing too different from what the other Gaming Keyboard. The program interface has 3 main card: Osmium, Profiles and Settings.
In osmium card, users will have 3 choices in setting up deeper into the keyboard, or the forum of Aiviva, or the official website of Gigabyte.
Profile Card allows users to assign functions to the key G1 – G5.
Osmium create macro mode allows users to store about 100 different sequences Macro, Macro mechanism created is quite simple: just press Record and press the key combination users want, then save.

Feeling
In any keyboard, grip above the table is the first thing I care about. With 7 rubber feet (4 on keyboard, 3 on hand inventory sheet) is more than enough that the osmium stood “firmly as fossil tables” on the table. Besides in osmium gamers have the option to permanently elevated above the keyboard on the table, by 4 on the keyboard base can be lifted up.
As noted above, a point that I am not satisfied at Gigabyte Aivia Osium Red switch. Because this kind of switch for power press too lightly, though non-clicky and non-tactile will not fuss but with characteristics “such as touch-sensitive” Red switch, users will sometimes be double a certain key . Discomfort during combat is certain, more with everyday tasks such as word processing, being “double” that key user tasks slower.
Only one point has not satisfied me, that is the key phrase placement Profile. Although set on the F1 key phrase – F4 makes the product look more aesthetically somewhat, but for convenience, perhaps this key phrase should be located at the left hand side of the player to switch facilities, support equipment for hands too far while the fingers are standing on the legendary WASD cluster.
Quick transfer button in the headlights profile Caps Lock, Numb Lock and Scroll Lock also indicative of “decorated” by implementation of the phase when combat or cover team in a fierce battle, gamers can not care time to press 4 times to switch from profile 1 to the profile 5.
