There are some who would write off the Aivia Osmium based solely on its use of Cherry MX red switches, and that's fair enough. Mechanical keyboard aficionados tend to have a favorite switch type or two. Fortunately, Gigabyte is prepping a twin that combi...

Before sharing with you my conclusion regarding the Gigabyte Aivia Osmium Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, I would like to point out that this entire review is based on my personal experience with it and is, therefore, subjective. Some of the products we r...
Fun to type on, Buttons to adjust the brightness of the LEDS and also to switch to different macro profiles on the keyboard itself, Very aesthetically pleasing, Weight kept it from sliding around, Changeable keys in order to remember the different macros,
Macro keys too far, Easy to make typos, Keys stuck once in awhile, Gets dirty easy
The Gigabyte Aivia Osmium is a all around keyboard and has an abundance of features, but it takes a hit to performance due to the ease of making a mistake and the macro keys being too far away. Despite this, its quality and feature set earn it the Bjorn3...

If you want a top of the line keyboard look no further. The price might seem like a bit much, but when you realize that it should last you years and years due to the fantastic build quality it sure takes the sting away. Overall, it is one of the best ke...
GIGABYTE's Aivia Osmium makes a very strong impression out of the box. In fact, it does this even whilst still in the box. I've had my hands on a good number of planks through the years, but this is the heaviest keyboard I have ever tried. By far. Given...
Great macro software, Sturdy build quality, Included ports all work well, Low actuation force
Keyboard bouncing and double-strokes obviate the positives
This is a honestly a tough call. The Aivia Osmium's build quality is excellent, the Ghost macro programming software is top notch, it effectively supports 25 macro keys, offers USB 3.0 pass-through so you don't lose access to a valuable port, runs off dua...
Superb build quality, Insane amount of features, Good price, Well performing driver suite, Big bundle, Ergonomics, Profile management
Only available with Cherry MX Red key-switches
Gigabyte's Aivia Osmium keyboard is another extremely functional, well built, and well-engineered piece from Gigabyte's gaming division. Like the Krypton, its rodent partner in crime, the Osmium does everything perfectly while adding a couple of nice-t...

The Osmium is a very well-rounded product, from small details (like the plastic covers of the connectors) to the extra keys with helpful symbols. As a mechanical keyboard, it's precise, comfortable and very solid on the table. It didn't let us down when p...
