![]() However, the feet dont elevate the keyboard too much, and in fact, they are probably meant to be used as it sets the keys at the right angle for typing. The three left-side buttons control lighting, WASDArrow swap and Turbo The WASD keys are shared with the arrow keys and can be swapped out with the button on the left side The membrane key switches One irregularity I will point out is that there are only two rubber pads on the underside while the keyboard is flat.Īs such, the keyboard does slide around if you dont use those feet. GAMDIAS ARES Combo Keyboard The Bottom row of F keys are duplicates of the top F keys, and share the same macros. They are well positioned just outside the typical palm-rest position. I will point out that these extra F keys are in a good position, in that at no point did I ever hit them accidentally. The bottom row F keys are a bit strange in that they are just duplicates of the standard F6-F11 keys they are not dedicated macro keys, but will act as macros if F6-F11 have macros assigned to them. In terms of key layout, the space bar is rather large, making it easy to hit. They are not horrific, but after using mechanicals for such a long time, they do take a bit to get used to again. The keys are expectedly mushy for a membrane keyboard, although they are reasonably sensitive with certain amount of tactile feedback as the dome reverses. ![]() The ARES is rather bulky, but a bit on the light side it doesnt have the weight of a more premium (or even fake premium) keyboard. The unified software stack (called HERA) is optional, too, and not horrific to use (which is quite surprising for an unknown manufacturer). Well take a look at the ARES keyboard first, as it makes up the bulk of the price.ĪRES Keyboard The GAMDIAS ARES keyboard is a fully backlit membrane keyboard with macro capabilities and a number of advanced features such as a turbo repeat rate, swappable WASD and arrow keys (well explain that a little later), multimedia keys, and a row of additional F keys below the space bar. The keyboard is membrane-based and the mouse is optical, so its not high-end at a too good to be true price point. When I say affordable, I really mean it ranging from 20-25 on Amazon for both the ARES keyboard and OUREA mouse combined, its quite the deal. The ARES combo is a keyboard and mouse bundle thats meant to provide some of the typical gaming features of mid-range products, but at a more affordable price. So in todays review, we are going to look at a more budget offering from little-known manufacturer GAMDIAS. With full backlighting and macro support, we see what this 25 pair can do. The ARES keyboard and OUREA mouse bring essential gaming features at a low starting price. ![]()
