Gigabyte GK-K6800 Keyboard Review

Packaging and Accessories

The keyboard box is, as one would expect, long and slim yet full of details about what's contained within. On the front you have a near full sized picture of keyboard and the back is loaded with information about the features and specifications. All in all it iseverything we have come to expect from high end manufacturer like Gigabyte. On the other hand, the white and yellow colour scheme with black text may rub some people the wrong way and it is not exactly the first colour combination some would choose.


The internal packaging within the box is certainly on the spartan end of things. The keyboard comes wrapped in an anti-scratch material bag and is held in place with strategically placed cardboard flaps. In a nut shell, these flaps create two main zones, the larger for the keyboard itself and the smaller for the USB cable. While this arrangement would not be sufficient for many other peripherals, it is more than good enough to the get the job done with a sturdy item like this keyboard.

The list of accessories which accompanies this Gigabyte product is certainly lacking, as there are none. No USB to older PS/2 connector, no CD containing any programs, not even a sticker…zip zero, nada. Were we expecting a big bag of schwag? No; but we expecting a bit more than this…heck even Old Saint Nick gives bad boys and girls a lump of coal. On the upside, the lack of extras does mean less padding added to the MSRP.
