  • Cons: On 9/28/12 after about two weeks of research I bought your Gigabyte GK-OSMIUM keyboard for my Gaming Rig. I have built several gaming rigs in the past and have used Gi...

Broken F1 key backlight, apparently not a rare problem... otherwise an excellent keyboard

Newegg
2 January 2013
  • Summary: So now we'll have to see how well GIGABYTE holds up to their 2-year warranty on all PC peripherals and how painful the process is
  • Pros: This keyboard is built very solidly, really sturdy braided cable. USB 3.0 passthrough, audio passthrough. Nice keys, comes with key puller and a few extra keys. The et...
  • Cons: Apparently this is a common defect of these keyboards, someone else in these Newegg reviews has had the exact same problem: the F1 key backlight fails after a short pe...
