Closer Look

As soon as you lift the Thunder K7, you realize how sturdy and solid it actually is. Aorus has designed and manufactured a keyboard that gives a sense of maximum quality to the user at any time, and the company did a pretty good job at it. The whole keyboard is made of plastic material with different finish, including the wrist rest. The Aorus Thunder K7 is one of the bigger keyboards we have tested so far, especially thanks to the removable palm rest integrated into the shape of the keyboard. Unlike other models we tested, the Aorus Thunder K7 uses a fully modular design, which allows you to place the numeric pad on any side of the keyboard. With this model, you can move the numeric keypad to the left or the right side of the keyboard, or alternatively you can use it as a stand-alone device. The sides of each of the device features powerful magnets which will keep it in place. The Aorus Thunder K7 is a mechanical keyboard and uses Cherry MX Red switches, which makes it a very responsive keyboard. The key travel is clear and precise, just as you would expect from a product of this kind.



The upper part of the keyboard features two blue-backlit wheels that allow you to adjust the backlight and system volume. In addition, Aorus has also programmed a double function for the F-keys, which, if used in combination with the FN button, become multimedia controls for videos and music. The key pressure is precise and linear, and the feedback that this keyboard gives is definitely good. The blue backlight, with few levels of intensity, is more than enough to fully illuminate the keys, and make the keyboard very comfortable to use in the dark. We appreciate the choice of the manufacturer to go with an independent backlight for the keyboard and the numeric keypad.

Back

The back of the keyboard has a classic label showing the serial of the product and three non-slip rubber feet on the palm rest. The stability is ensured by two rubber feet placed in the corners of the keyboard, so it is practically impossible to move the Aorus Thunder K7 on the desk without raising it. Obviously, the feet, which are also covered with rubber, tilt the keyboard to a certain angle.The numeric keypad features another foot that will allow it to lineup up with the keyboard. The wrist rest also uses a coupling system with magnets, which are strong enough to keep everything firmly in place.
