So I'm a little overwhelmed with Gigabyte's gaming lineup. I'm guessing Xtreme Gaming is essentially a poor man's Aorus but better than standard Gigabyte stuff (at least for peripherals)?

I still cannot understand why USB and audio ports are not standard on these keyboards (and why reviewers don't highlight this as a con). I have these on my old $10-15 keyboard, cost cutting cannot be reason. And they can be incredibly useful.

Exactly....just like i dont understand why new cases continue to be released still having usb2 ports on the front panel instead of just all usb3...and NO usbC ports at all....

Stop this Xtreme Gaming label nonsense please. Flashy gaming for kiddos. At least launch a sleek and professional lineup for the grown-ups.

You do realize that if professional was what the public was after, there would be no Facebook. Flashy sells...
