AORUS Thunder K7 Detailed Features

The AORUS Thunder K7 is the world’s first mechanical keyboard featuring a mechanical keypad. It also has, in my opinion, the best detachable wrist rest I’ve ever used. Most detachable wrist rests use plastic guides or connectors, whereas the Thunder K7 uses magnets! The large surface area of the wrist rest makes great use of the small magnets within them. This keyboard has magnets on the main keyboard, the keypad, and on the wrist rest itself, making for a solid connection.

AORUS Thunder K7 Keyboard Top Down View Illuminated

The backlighting on the AORUS Thunder K7 is quite even and has adjustable brightness settings including an on/off option as well. To use the on/off function, you simply press the wheel itself as a button.

AORUS Thunder K7 Keypad Illuminated

The AORUS Thunder K7 Keypad also has it’s own illumination that can be brightness controlled with an on/off function as well. To use the on/off function, you simply press the wheel itself as a button.

AORUS Thunder K7 F-Keys

The AORUS Thunder K7 features alternate function F-keys. While pressing the FN key and one of these keys, it will bring up the corresponding program/function, providing you quick access to your default browser’s homepage, Google, Facebook, Twitter, your default mail client, task manager, calculator, and your music folder. The F9-F12 keys control your music player.

AORUS Thunder K7 Cherry MX Red Switch Keycap Removed

As I mentioned in the overview, the AORUS Thunder K7 utilizes Cherry MX Red switches with a blue LED located above each switch. The Cherry MX Red switches are purely linear and lack a tactile “bump” found in the Browns and Blues. The Cherry MX Red switches are a close cousin to the Cherry MX Black switches, except they require less force to depress.

AORUS-Thunder-K7-Volume-and-Light-Control-Wheels

Above the left side of the main keyboard, are two wheels, once controls brightness (and the on/off function by press the wheel as a button) and one controls speaker volume (and a mute function by pressing the wheel as a button). These wheels are also illuminated for easier reference while in a dark room. I know what you’re thinking, since when do we game in the dark?!
