Gigabyte Aorus M3 Mouse and K7 Keyboard Review

Gigabyte Aorus is a familiar name when it comes to motherboards and graphics cards, but not necessarily for peripherals. In this review we take a look at the M3 mouse and K7 keyboard from their Aorus line. Both feature some decent specifications and come at tempting prices, with the K7 retailing at £81.98 and the M3 only retailing at £26.99.  Could these peripherals strike the perfect balance between price and performance?
