The world of mechanical keyboards is day by day more and more common for gamers, at least when it comes to PC Gaming. Products designed to be of high quality and make the playful sessions of the players more enjoyable and immersive, thanks to the sensations offered and the various features of each product. We have seen the evolution of many technologies in this area, since the arrival of the well-known Cherry MX in many variations, to the addition of software and hardware changes for the most demanding users. The well-known brand Asus TUF, obviously part of the company Asus, has recently patented and launched on the market a keyboard very different from the standards we are accustomed to by now, which sacrifices some details in order to focus every bit of its strength on quality: let's talk about the keyboard Asus TUF Gaming K7.
It is undoubtedly a perfect product for gamers, which can however be used in any area thanks to its characteristics and its resistance, really impressive considering especially its quite small tonnage compared to today's standards for mechanical keyboards. Let's find out more together over the next few lines!
The resistance of the Asus TUF Gaming K7
The Asus TUF Gaming K7 is a really solid and durable keyboard
The packaging of the Asus TUF Gaming K7, mostly black with gray tones and really elegant, already lets us glimpse a part of the product. Through a practical window it is possible to try the directional keys at the bottom right, even before opening, which is obviously the next step. In the package we find a rather short USB 2.0 cable, already connected to the keyboard and not removable, together with a magnetic palm rest which we will deepen later. The basis from which Asus starts in the realization of this product concerns the quality and resistance, and that is why the article in question is not formed only by hard plastic - which would be easily justified by the price (just over 100 €) - which is present only in the underlying part. The entire surface indeed provides premium feedback thanks to aluminum, the main material used. Want for certification IP56, thanks to which the product is almost immune to liquids and dust, you want for gods ultra-resistant keys which allow about double the pressures compared to classic mechanical keyboards - 100 million in this specific case - the Asus TUF Gaming K7 is truly indestructible and very solid.
Its size gives the product a compactness to say the least interesting, we are talking about 43,9cm in length, 13,1cm in width and 3,7cm thick, for a truly record-breaking total weight of only 794 grams. The upper part consists of a layout also available in the European version, to which Unfortunately, the multimedia keys in the top right are missing, but which is perfect for a large range of users in our country. Instead, the lower one guarantees us the classic levers to keep the body and gods higher non-slip rubber pads to avoid accidents during hours of use. Unfortunately, the Keycap Remover is missing; although it is rather easy to remove the individual keys, the product is not designed to make this operation happen frequently.
The palm rest provides premium feedback just like everything else, and it is made with technology Cloudfoam; this is extremely comfortable and allows you to use almost all the buttons without lifting your wrists, it is also quite large and therefore adapts to the various positions that users can take. Fortunately, the same connects thanks to gods magnets placed on the final lower part of the keyboard, thus avoiding the classic joints and avoiding the breakage of any levers that would compromise their use and comfort.
Technological gem
The product is perfect for gaming thanks to its peculiarities
In terms of aesthetics and consistency, the product is really successful, but let's not forget the software side and the various technologies that make it dedicated to the gaming world. It starts with keys that provide a ultra-fast input, Up to 25 times more than the classic standards, and therefore allow a responsiveness out of the norm. For the latter, gods were employed optical-mechanical switches instead of the classic Cherry MX, which produce an average amount of noise but still audible when listening to audio with headphones. The speed is also guaranteed for the 1000hz polling rate, which is how often the computer receives inputs from the product. Technology Anti-Ghosting on the other hand, it ensures that pressing several keys at the same time does not risk not bringing some inputs to a successful conclusion, a feature that is especially useful for the most frenetic play experiences. 
As the tradition of gaming products wants, RGB has not been neglected either, and are implemented on the software side thanks to the software Aura Sync. It is a proprietary program from Asus which, however, fails to provide the same potential as the software of other companies do, a small defect that is added to the possibility of adding only 3 extra keyboard profiles than the default one. For the other types of settings, the software is used instead Armory II, which allows you to create interesting combinations and customize your user experience to the maximum.
