Well, there you have it, a three-in-one review. I did intend to do all three of these keyboards in separate reviews, but I just didn't have the time to get them all done and ready for release, which had me group them together. The AZiO MGK L80 has some great features and is very comfortable, and the magnetic wrist rest is great and the LEDs are very bright. However, my favorite feature has to be its dedicated volume control wheel, which I used a crazy amount of times.

The lack of software is a double-edged sword; it is great for those who don't want to mess with any additional installations or those who use their keyboard with multiple machines and want to get started as quickly as possible without giving up full functionality. The downside is that using these features seems a little long-winded; macros in particular can't be edited or changed at all after they are recorded since there is no way to add delays or repeat them. The RGB lighting options are a little easier to use, especially as once you find an option you like you generally stick to it, and the red and blue L80s are very simple to control in terms of lighting.

The build quality for the AZiO MGK L80 range seems great; there are no defects and the aluminum top plate ensures that there is no bending or warping. The keyboard does feel very light, though, and the plastic on the rear of the board is a little thin, giving it a cheap feel, but I didn't notice the plate or weight at all once it was on the table, making those things of personal preference. I do tend to use very heavy keyboards. The feet on the rear are sturdy and don't feel as though they will snap, and the rubber feet at the front stop the keyboard from slipping. Typing on the keyboard was a pleasure; the Kailh switches were perfectly fine and are probably my second-favorite switch as they are great clones and also allow for the keycaps to be changed, which is great.

The red and blue versions are priced quite well; it would have been nice to maybe see $80-$90 on these, but I wouldn't mind spending the extra. The RGB version, which is $40 more, doesn't really have any extra functions other than in terms of lighting, though, which is a shame, and I don't really think it warrants the extra cash as it is. Some kind of software with this version of the L80 to allow for easier lighting controls and some extra control over the macros would have been nice. At $140, it is competing against some really stiff competition, like the Corsair Strafe RGB, which is $140, but uses Cherry MX switches and has great software and a similar set of accessories. The Thermaltake POSEIDON Z RGB can be had for around $90 and comes with Kailh switches, but it does lack the volume control wheel I love so much and doesn't have a wrist rest. If the AZiO L80 RGB were around $100-$120, it would be outstanding, and it would have taken the Great Value award. Even though I have been somewhat critical in parts of the conclusion, I do recommend you check out the AZiO MGK L80; it is a great option for anyone who doesn't wish to install software, but still wants to take advantage of some premium features.
