My usual reviews for keyboards consist of mechanical keyboard with some loud switches, but today’s review is a little different. Today’s review is on the Alienware Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard AW768 with Kailh brown switches, so they are quiet but they feel so nice. The keyboard is nice, but a few things bug me and you can be sure we will go over them here.

OK, now that we have gone through that exhausting list, let’s check out an unboxing.
Not much in the box, but let’s go over what was inside.
We start with the Quick Start Guide.
Alienware is not kidding when they say quick start guide, it’s a pamphlet that you unfold.
The main part of the fold out, that has anything of relevance is shown here. Shows you how to connect the keyboard to your USB port and where to download the drivers.
Also included is the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document. It is a very long document in different languages.
Starting from the USB portion, we have the standard USB port.
Going up from the USB connector, we find the 6 Foot Nylon braided cable. A very nice tight braid.
Ending up at the keyboard itself.
In this next chapter, we will get up and close with the keyboard.
