Test: Einzeltest: Arctic K381 Gaming Keyboard
Zitat: If you like Arctic Cooling, pair this keyboard up with the »M571 mouse to have an excellent combination for gaming. In addition to performing well, the K381 is small enough to take with you to LAN parties. While the minimalistic design may shun away some people that like macros, the overall design and feel are good. The K381 has a MSRP of $24.95. This is a great price on a good product. Arctic Cooling is pricing themselves into an excellent place in the market. While the brand may not have the clout that Logitech has, at these prices, people will try them out.
Once they start using the products and see the quality, it´ll snowball into more competition. ASE Labs is a huge fan of competition in the marketplace and other gaming peripheral companies should look at what Arctic Cooling is doing with the pricing of their products. Quality doesn´t have to be expensive. If you like laptop style keys, this is the keyboard for you. ASE Labs recommends it.
Let me mention again that input devices are subjective. While I liked the K381, you may not. It is important to try before you buy, but at $25, just go for it. If you do see it in a retail store, send us a comment.
