GIGABYTE XK700 XTREME Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

A Closer Look: XK700 Gaming Keyboard

The XK700 keyboard is equal parts curvy and angular in shape and has a perfect weight-to-size ratio. The build quality feels and looks equally amazing. The brushed aluminum finish looks fantastic and contrasts with the black keys perfectly. and the rubber highlights add to the smooth yet rugged feel that this keyboard offers. Just strumming on a few keys and I am in love with the switches and feedback of this keyboard. I can’t wait until testing time!

Moving onto the underneath side of the keyboard we find that it has an angular look that fits right in with the rest of GIGABYTE’s XTREME Gaming lineup. I also notice immediately the anti-slip rubber feet. To my surprise, the two feet at the top of the keyboard have a very manual way of adjusting the ergonomic height. A radial dial is used to adjust the height to any exact position within its limits. I have not seen anything like this previously and I really like it!

The keyboard layout is very familiar and everything looks and feels evenly spaced as it should. The switches are the cherry switches which just happen to be my favorite! This keyboard does have the more popular programmed function keys such as media playback, volume adjustment, calculator and browser launcher, just to name a few.
 

Now that we have gazed upon this gaming peripheral goodness, let us install the supporting software and take everything for a test drive!

Looks like a carbon copy of the Creative Vanguard K08
