Genius introduced a strong lineup of gaming peripherals this year and today we will take a look at the GX-Gaming Imperator Pro MMORPG/RTS Gaming Keyboard. This is based on the Imperator baseline model except with extra features that you may want in a premium keyboard. Benchmark Reviews takes a look at this product today to see how well it stands against competition.

The GX series has 2 keyboards, the Imperator normal and pro editions. They are essentially the same keyboard except the Imperator Pro has 2 additional features: USB ports and 16 million color backlighting. They differ by about $40.00, which is a hefty premium to pay for these 2 additional features. I personally feel that's not a great deal, but there's no denying that a keyboard with backlighting looks significantly better.

The Genius Imperator Pro uses classical rubber-dome keys. Mechanical keyboards are in general thought to be better for gaming, but classical rubber dome keyboards are equally good for many games. They also have a much better overall feel for typing and less prone to problems such as registering double-taps or accidental typing. For it's price tag, the Imperator Pro is no doubt an expensive gaming keyboard as you can grab some of the best keyboards made to date for this price. BenchmarkReviews will dive into more detail in this article.
