ROCCAT Horde Aimo gaming keyboard review > NAG

With so many gaming keyboards on the market, the standard by which these peripherals are measured has been raised significantly. It’s no longer enough to just throw together a generic keyboard with mechanical switches. It also isn’t enough to simply have an outlandish design that for some inexplicable reason is supposed to appeal to the ever-elusive “gamer”. We’re in a space right now where many vendors are competing by either including more and more absurd lighting schemes, or some form […]

Roccat Horde Aimo review: This ‘membranical’ gaming keyboard explores new territory
3.0

The Roccat Horde Aimo is a very forward-thinking device, with support for Microsoft's Surface Dial tech and LEDs that adjust themselves, but its membrane underpinnings and some awkward design choices hold it back.

ROCCAT Horde AIMO Review - Introduction

Mechanical keyboards are swallowing the market at an alarming rate, but is there still a place for a high-end membrane keyboard with RGB lighting?...

ROCCAT Horde AIMO Review | APH Networks

Years ago, before I had any idea of how a computer works, my brother started to play World of Warcraft. I would always enjoy watching my brother play different video games. From Star Wars: Phantom Menace, to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, I tried to play the games, but I was horrid at them. One game I wish I could replay was this pod racing Star Wars game, which held hours of fun. This game took you to different planets to race and you could choose from a myriad of racers. World of Warcraft was the next great game I always wanted to play, but never could. Instead, I only watched my brother and his friend play it. They grinded through all the levels to reach the 60 level cap. I was too young to have a subscription and I would only be able to play a few minutes here and there. The highest level I achieved was level 10. All this mystery created a strong draw throughout my teenage years as I attempted many different ways to play the game. Finally, when I could buy the subscription, I started to play quite a bit. I did not have too many other friends at the time who played WoW, but I did not even get that far either. After finally being able to play the game fully and completely, I was not excited about it anymore. It was as if everything making the game attractive, disappeared like a mist. With every expansion since then, I would always return and play a bit more, even though I would not play that much on the expansion itself. The faction my brother and his friend played on followed me throughout the whole experience, never moving away from the Horde. Today, we have a product from ROCCAT called the Horde AIMO. Will it live up to the Horde's glory as brutish, but strong willed and ready for action? Read on to find out!

Nearly every one of the Roccat Horde Aimo's features comes with a caveat, from half-baked hybrid keys to dim RGB lighting.

The Roccat Horde AIMO is an inexpensive gaming keyboard that offers some great features for the price, but it has a tough time standing up to its competition.
