Gigabyte Force K7

Gigabyte's latest board isn't quite a force to be reckoned with

Introduction In the office today we have the latest gaming peripheral from Gigabyte, the Force K7 stealth gaming keyboard. Gigabyte may be better known for their graphics cards and motherboards, but I'm sure many of you also know that they make some truly epic peripherals too and while not all of them are gaming focused they've still gone on to win plenty of awards for their keyboards and mice, not just from eTeknix either, but from many publications around the world, especially for their popular Aivia range. The model we are looking at today may not be as prestigious as

When Soviet mathematician Pyotr Ufimtsev published his paper "Method of Edge Waves in the Physical Theory of Diffraction" in the Moscow Institute for Radio Engineering journal in 1964, it showed the world radar signature is actually a function of the edge configuration of the object, rather than the traditional understanding of it being related object's size. The crucial part about his work, and what the US military was particularly interested in, was Ufimtsev was able to demonstrate radar cross section calculations across an aircraft wing's surface and leading edge. This means by exploiting the principles presented in the paper, even large planes can be made almost invisible to radar, giving friendly forces a huge tactical advantage over enemy territory in battle. Of course, Ufimtsev's research was almost a decade ahead of its time; airplanes designed based on his stealth theory is not aerodynamically stable enough to fly until more advanced flight control computers were made available in the 1970s. Fast forward to 2013, with modern home desktop computers more powerful than virtually anything available four decades ago, where else does stealth design, computational power, and battle advantage come in? Apparently, rather than taking it to the skies over the Persian Gulf, Gigabyte thinks it should be no further than your latest gaming rig and a copy of Battlefield 4. The Gigabyte Force K7 is a "stealth gaming keyboard" promising to deliver ultra short travel, scissor based key actuation, three color backlighting, anti-ghost keys, and dynamic volume and backlight control. Will this keyboard give you an advantage over the noobs, or will it fly under the radar of true enthusiasts? We took one in to find out.

GIGABYTE put out a lot of great gaming keyboards this year. Today, we will take a look at the reasonably priced Force K7 featuring back lighting and durable scissor switches. The K7's main selling point is the ultra-short travel time of its keys. We check out how it fares against other gaming keyboard designs.

Gigabyte released the Force K7 Stealth gaming keyboard which we review. Not a 125 EURO mechanical for a change as you know, mechanical switches make keyboards expensive, this is a 30 EUR budget gamin... Review - Article - Guide
