Product Overview

Gigabyte AORUS K1 is a full-size mechanical gaming keyboard that features Cherry MX Red switches as well as Gigabyte's Fusion 2.0 per-key RGB lighting.
While the K1 is marketed as a affordable option, Gigabyte has endowed it with 100% anti-ghosting with N-key rollover. It is also easy to program any keys and store the customization in the onboard memory.
Further, the AORUS K1 also comes with easily accessible function hotkeys that make the keyboard more versatile.
The K1 joins the AORUS K9, which features optical mechanical switches, in Gigabyte's gaming keyboard lineup.

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
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
Cons
  • Lacks RGB lighting
  • Software is outdated
