Looking for a new mechanical keyboard? Take a look at G.Skill International’s latest offering, the KM780 RGB and the KM780 MX. Both are packed with genuine Cherry RGB/MX Red and Brown switches and backlit illumination so you can easily troll Facebook or play PC games in your dark cave.
Part of the company’s RIPJAWS collection, the two new keyboards come with extra gaming keycaps that are dual-coat laser etched. These caps are shipped with a keycap tool for customizing the keyboard and a separate hand-sized case to keep the tool and unused keycaps together in one spot.
“Packed with on-the-fly macro recording, 6 additional macro keys, 3 hotkeys (Windows lock, brightness, and timer), and easy-access mode selection keys, you can customize and switch your keyboard layouts for swift responses and immediate access to the actions you need, right at your fingertips,” G.Skill reports.
Both keyboards provide backlit media control buttons, a digital LED volume display, and a die-cast volume roller. There’s also a mouse cable holder on the back to provide a “cleaner” desktop surface, a USB “passthrough” port, and audio ports for headphones and a microphone.
According to the specifications, both models include 100-percent anti-ghosting, full-N-key rollover, a gaming mode option, support for three on-board profiles, six additional macro keys, and a detachable palm rest. The keyboards also provide a Windows lock key and a timer key with a visual notification, perfect for situations like skill cool-downs.
The RGB model provides a full 16.8 million colors, independent per-key backlighting, and lighting pattern options. The MX model features only RED, independent per-key backlighting and pattern options. The LED backlight toggle lets the user toggle between three levels of brightness, or turn the backlighting off completely.
G.Skill’s two new keyboards (four, actually) are available now on Newegg for $160 for the RGB models and $120 for the MX models. However, authorized G.Skill retail partners will begin selling these keyboards in late September. The company also plans to release models with Cherry Blue switches “at a later date.”
