APH Networks: Thermaltake ARGENT K5 RGB Review

A week or two ago, I decided I was going to take a day off from social media and cease from any form of internet-based communication. If necessary, I asked people to send a text message instead. From this, I found how important having a day to myself was and how I genuinely like time alone despite these isolating times. I do enjoy spending time with people, but as an introvert, people still tire me out, even if it is only online. In my time alone, I was able to clean my entire room and generally reorganize my life after my winter semester of university. I think everyone deserves time to themselves, so I encourage anyone to dedicate a day or two to it. I personally plan on having a personal day once a week. Speaking of taking time away, it has been a while since we at APH Networks have seen many products from Thermaltake. We recently reviewed Thermaltake’s The Tower 100 Snow chassis, and now we have the Thermaltake ARGENT K5 RGB to test out. I am excited to see how Thermaltake has developed over the years and how good their keyboards are, especially considering the last one we reviewed was the Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Knucker in 2013. Going into this review with an empty slate about Thermaltake keyboards, I hope to be pleasantly surprised. Will the ARGENT K5 RGB hold up to our standards? Let us keep reading to find out!
