This is Gigabyte’s Aorus Thunder K7 keyboard. Like the Corsair STRAFE which we saw earlier, this also has a detachable numpad which can be used as a macro keyboard.
This is the companion to the Aorus Thunder K7 keyboard, it is called Thunder M7. It comes with 16 fully programmable keys and features an 8200 dpi laser sensor.
This is Gigabyte's new motherboard which will support Intel’s upcoming 6th gen Intel Core chips. This is based on Intel’s Z170 motherboard.
