Gigabyte Aivia Osmium owner here (Cherry MX reds), and this keyboard rocks. It's my first mechanical keyboard and I've had it for a week, but it is leaps and bounds better than my mushy Logitech G15. Backlighting is fully dimmable, all keys are independently lit and mechanical, and it has built in USB 3.0 and headset pass through extensions. Supposedly it handles 64 simultaneous keys being pressed as well. If you are looking for a really heavy, tough feeling keyboard, I would check this one out. Some people are put off by the 45g actuation force of the MX Reds but I game most of the time and I don't type the proper way you are "supposed to."
Probably one of my only complaints is that there is no indent on the caps lock so I hit it randomly when gaming. It's also a little easy to hit adjacent keys as they "seem" a little bit closer together.
