Okay, we're going to have a closer look at the product guided with the help of lots of photos. As always packaging and bundle first. Inside the keyboard with Cherry MX Brown keys (you can choose RED, Blue, Brown), 1000Hz polling, full-key rollover though, over USB and 100% anti-ghosting.

Unpacking shows a simple bundle, the keyboard, the soft touch wrist rest and a manual/warranty guide. The KM780 RGB comes with with extra red replaceable WASD keys, we'll explain later as to why that is. Across the keyboard you will notice RGB back-lights on the KM780, these can be dimmed, colored and configured. We'll show you the keyboard powered on over the next few pages of course. And to demonstrate the coolness factor, we'll have a video as well.

Once we have a better and closer look at the keyboard the word sturdy comes to mind. The keyboard feels nice and heavy, made out of a plastic base with brushed aluminum on top of it. The anodized black aluminum looks lovely. You will notice that we received the the model with Cherry Brown keys. This keyboard comes with extra gaming keys you can swap out and a detachable wrist-rest as well.

The media function keys on the keyboard itself are basic yet functional. The metal volume knob is really handy. There is also a windows lock mode key on the opposing side, which allows you to disable the Windows key and get dropped back to the desktop by accident in a hefty gaming session. These functions are all supported at default, there's no need to install any software whatsoever. The keys themselves are exposed though, simple cleaning works out well with say a can of compressed air. However, being exposed like that has another effect as well, the base will collect dirt more quickly. It's not massively different with normal keyboards, but sure the base is exposed and a little more susceptible to dirt.
