The humble keyboard has risen in popularity in recent years; the seemingly infinite variety of models has turned the input accessory into something like watches for people with Newegg accounts. With companies trying to cater to every preference and price point, maybe it was inevitable that we'd end up with something like Roccat's new Horde AIMO.

It's a $159.95 keyboard with an assortment of multimedia features and an uncommon "membranical" design that attempts to answer a series of seemingly contradictory questions. Is it possible to make a quiet typing experience without sacrificing the feel of obnoxious clackity-noise-making keyboards? Can we incorporate some much-needed features into a relatively inexpensive package? Can we make it look like it doesn't belong in a college dorm and give it RGB backlighting? Maybe!
