AZIO MGK ARMATO CE: As Gorgeous in Function As It Is In Style?

edited February 2018 in News & Features Discussion

Read the full story here

AZIO isn't shy about taking their keyboard designs in ways that appeal to both gamers and non-gamers alike, primarily because AZIO is a company that understands function, simplicity, and style. Does the AZIO MGK ARMATO Classic Edition, a typewriter styled mechanical keyboard, hit the mark in each of those categories?

    Nice design ! I love it, but I just can't deal with small "Enter" on keyboards.

    Not sure I like the volume wheel in the top right of the board..

    People are really into keybords and all... Mine is just a cheap one, works just fine. Is it a hardcore gamer thing ?

    Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.

    For the "WTF" kids reaction, that is called 'small enter' .
    This is my kind of enter :

    I don't think I could ever get used to that.  I've also used a few keyboards with the really tiny backspace key, I hate that too.  It's so hard to hit the small backspace.

    The only annoying thing seems to be that lighting. If there is a way to stop making it swish everywhere then I might consider it.

    hahaha the swish only happens when you plug the keyboard in for the first time, I think all azio keyboards do that.

    Thanks! The idea of working away to see all this swishy light cascading to and fro seemed nauseating.

    I'm really drawn in by the look, but sadly the clicking would get me evicted.

    I didn't know one could get triggered by something like that lol. My response was somewhere in between wtf and lol but there is no button for that. Anyways I could see your point if you have hands on the bigger side or are an angry typer but I've never had problems hitting my enter key. It's a nice keyboard though.

    I don't know anyone who is nostalgic for typewriters so I'm not seeing the appeal.

    Fair enough. Indeed, "Backspace" is pretty small , and..Shift. I am now used with does ..."downsides" , but I know I won't get used with a "small enter" :)

    Edit : The left "Shift" :)

    This was actually my first typewriter as my grandmother had it and I would try to type on it all the time when i was a kid:



    Later, in High School, when I took a typing class I used an electric typewriter. I don't even know if they have typing classes in school anymore!

    Ive tried this keyboaed, while it looks cool, it doesnt feel right to type on.

    The round keys leave enough space for your fingertips to sort of slide and get almost stuck between keys.

    Didnt like it at all

    That's like a real typewriter. If you didn't hit center key your stroke would be light on the page and your finger could slip off and get stuck or pinched. It was a little motivating to type accurately.

    I learned on an old Royal that I swear was built out of WWII surplus tank armour. I loved that thing. When I got to highschool they had IBM Selectric II with the bubble heads. After learning on the Royal I could fly on that IBM.
    This must have been a big step up from the quill you learned on, I bet you were happy when the dot matrix printer came along lol.

    Looks like the perfect keyboard for playing Fallout 4.
