Reviewer score 39% (normalized by Neofiliac)At $99.99, the Aorus K1 falls right into the sweet spot just below the prices for many of the simple mechanical gaming keyboards we've reviewed. Aorus split the configuration duties for the K1 across two apps: Aorus Engine and RGBFusion. The former is a remapping tool that handles layouts and macros; the latter lets you configure the keyboard's RGB lighting.
Pros
- Solid build quality
- Comfortable keycaps
- Easy to use
