Genesis Thor 300 RGB Keyboard Review, the budget gaming keyboard that gives you a lot for its price and won’t disappoint.
We were lucky enough to get our hands on to the Thor 300 Keyboard by Genesis recently and have been testing over the last couple of weeks to give to the inside info on why we think this should be your next purchase.

Design
The Thor 300 is a aluminium constructed mechanical keyboard with RGB, the construction of the keyboard feel weighty in comparison to my Razer and this is a good thing, as it means that the keyboard does not slide slowly across my desk. the underside has rubber non-slip feet that help with this issue.
The mechanical key is Outemu switch type and feels good to the press and smooth operation. The keyboard also has other key features like windows lock, RGB backlight, simplified multimedia keys and good cable management.
Layout
The layout of the keyboard is amazing with the ability to change the normal ASDW buttons over the arrow keys which for someone who uses a mouse left-handed this will give you more options to change your playing style.

Additional function buttons to quickly change the lighting for up to 5 presets and with anti-ghosting is your advantage over your competitors when gaming.
