    Not sure why so many negative reviews on this product right out of the box it worked for me but keep in mind using the Gigabyte Smart update manager it immediately recognized the new firmware and hardware than Aourus Engine did the rest of the work I have no issues.These optical blue switches are super smoothI do not like red switches has to be tactile clicky feel for me.. They may be the loudest but IMO they game the best and for productivity work they are an absolute dream to use .I honestly like the Macro switch in the software it's very useful. I also really enjoy the keyboard layout and how you can custom tailor your switches and using the FN button you can go through I think up to 9 different RGB lighting phases. I believe that is custom tailored to your liking too via Aorus engine software.Bottom line; I have no complaints I'm very satifised with Gigabyte products as a whole sure beats my old Razer products that felt like hand me downs..I reccomend the Aorus K9 Optical (Blue) switch KeyboardHope this review helps you guys on making a good purchase decisionMuch love

    I ordered the Blue version. It came with orange key caps. It is very loud, but that might be normal for optical keyboards, as I don't know as this is my first. It is very responsive and the keypress is solid. It is a good keyboard. I recommend it if you don't mind the clicking. The keys only light up on the top half where the main characters are. The shift characters are on the bottom of the keys and not clearly lit.

    Got when it was half off original price. ($78)

    Great keyboard! Even though its more expensive as I write this review, I still believe its worth the price. Worth the jump from OG mechanical keys. fast and responsive. Everything came as described and working.

    NOTE: There was a problem when setting up keyboard with the GIGABYTE software! You need to update the firmware to fix the keyboard freezing up! Only problem I've had so far. Will update if anything comes up.

    Exactly what I was looking for! Very high quality keyboard. I got the Blue version which is far more clicky then the red. It also comes with WASD and arrow keys and the escape key in orange buttons so you can change them if you like. Also includes a few red switches if you want some keys to be less clicky.

    I had horrible luck with this keyboard. I bought this and after doing the firmware update it completely bricked/locked up. Exchanged for a different one. This time I did the firmware update and everything was good until I restarted my PC and the keys wouldn't work. Couldn't even sign in to windows. Tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but nope, locked up. Plugged in my old keyboard and had to sign in with that. No idea why it's locking up on me. I have rgb fusion and aorus engine, both of which detected the keyboard. But still couldn't get it to work. Sent a support message to gigabyte and haven't heard anything in a week. Just gonna return my second one for a different brand. Sucks, cause I like gigabyte aorus PC parts and accessories, it's a shake this didn't work out. I will say that this keyboard is heavy duty and very well built. 5/5 for the look and feel, but 1/5 for performance on the ones I tried.

    The keyboard is excellent, but trying to get the gigabyte RGB software to work is maddening. The support was no help, I finally started loading older versions for the software and got a version that worked for me.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 30, 2020
    Style: GK-AORUS K9 REDVerified Purchase
    The flaretech switches are insanely smooth and are the star of the show. (I have the reds) Feels great. Barely any scratch on the smaller keys and basicaly none if you compare it to a scratchy cherry key due to there being no metal contacts. Bit of scratch on the bigger keys like caps and shift etc.

    Its got a big metal plate on the top and plastic on the bottom and sides. No flex and is insanely solid! No give and the feet are super robust too. It is a very minamalist keyboard with regular cherry stems so its good for a bit of coustomizing like keycaps etc and it includes 9 switches of the oposite kind you have in the board and 9 pbt keycaps. The pbts it comes with are really nice! Hard and clunky. The rest of the abs keycaps it comes with are kinda meh and feel a bit cheap. Its a good board to put some coustom caps on as its a std layout!

    The extra switches are easy to swap and i put clickys on all my toggles! One thing is the click switches feel a bit more scratchy and artificial. I would def buy the red switch model over the blue because the clicky model takes away from the glorious smoothness of this keyboard.

    A few negitives about the board is the rgb is pretty terrible. Its dim, glitchy, limited and the colors are pretty inaccurate and badly blended. Orange looks brown, white is sorta blue etc. And there isnt much selection for fx either. Also the color depth sucks and you can see it step thru the colors on cycling modes. I think one of the resons its so dim is because all of the working components of the flaretech switch is contained on the keyboards pcb. Including the ir transmitter recever and rgb leds. They jave to go thru a pinhole up to the back of the keycap so it is super dim, directional and any bottom legends you may have are unredable. Yhe software kinda sucks too although it works somewhat but sometimes it will mistake keys for other keys. Like when i change colors of the windows key it changes the ctr key instead.

    Anorher tging is the flaretechs may be smooth but yhey are SUUUUPER loose. Very wobbly keycaps! I dont mind it that much but sometimes it gives you the vibe of rattley office keyboard.

    All in all i bought this on sale for 70CDN and for that price is is by far the best keyboard i could get for that money. So smooth and a wonderfull build with a good coustomization path if you can ignore the crappy backlighting and somewhat wobbly keys. It will reward you with buttery keypresses once you get it broken in! if if someone offered me this and a keyboard that cost twice as much as what i paid id probably stick with what i have unless it was some cnced thing with box switches or something. Or if the steelseries pro or wooting goes on sale. I cant complain at all for the price i paid and id say its monetary worth to me would probably be around 130 bucks. The regular 200 bucks is pretty high tho. Buy it if its on sale!
