Introduction

PC-Coolers is a Romanian distributor and retailer of various PC DIY products, including peripherals such as keyboards and mice. In addition to working with brands such as SteelSeries and Genesis, the company has founded its own house brand called AQIRYS. I hadn’t even heard of either PC-Coolers or AQIRYS until late last year when a representative from the brand approached TechPowerUp about potentially covering products from this erstwhile new brand. This led to reviews of an AQIRYS chair, PSU, mouse, and even a case, and today we add to the collection with a keyboard review. Thanks to AQIRYS for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp!

There are currently three keyboards in the AQIRYS portfolio, although two are the same in different colorways. The brand logo is shaped as a galaxy, and this is inspiration to have most AQIRYS products be named after stars. Indeed, the product being reviewed here is called the Aludra TKL after the star of that same name, and is very obviously a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard in form factor. The marketing photo above also confirms the use of RGB backlighting and side lighting in addition to both different color and novelty keycaps. The product page does need some work in not having text and graphics overlap, but I am not one to resist checking out a new brand ever. So let’s begin our detailed coverage of the AQIRYS Aludra TKL keyboard today with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
