Introduction

G.Skill KM360 keyboard review
Very affordable (and good?) TKL Keyboard with MX Cherry switches

The G.Skill brand is known especially for making RAM, but they also have SSDs, headsets, mice and even power supplies in their product range. On the 21st of August, they announced a new gaming keyboard with RGB backlighting, the KM360. It will be the next (fourth) model in the brand’s gaming series, which includes not only keyboards but also mice and headsets. The G.Skill KM360 is priced at only USD 49.99, and for this amount you get Cherry MX mechanical switches, wear-proof ABS double-injection keycaps, and a solid brushed aluminum top-plate – which sounds like a nice package altogether.

“Designed with a detachable USB Type-C cable, white LED backlighting, and available in a white or black version, the KM360 mechanical keyboard is the perfect daily workhorse keyboard for the office and for gaming. The KM360 mechanical keyboard is outfitted with Cherry MX Red linear key-switches (and Cherry MX Black for the space key) for its reliability and consistency in professional and gaming use cases with quick 2 mm key actuation and 50 million keystroke rating. Taking durability, a step further, the KM360 keyboard is equipped with ABS double injection keycaps, meaning that the lettering on each keycap will not fade or wear from long term use and will feel smoother than traditional printed or laser-etched keycaps. Furthermore, the KM360 is designed with a solid aluminium top-plate for extra stability and easy cleaning. Whether you're in a well-lit room in the office or in a dark room for immersion gaming, the white LED backlighting of the KM360 allows you to easily see the keys. Of course, the key illumination can be adjusted to 5 brightness levels (0%/25%/50%/75%/100%) so you can turn it off or change it to your preferred brightness. Additionally, the KM360 is designed with a detachable braided USB Type-C cable for easy replacement and portability.

The compact tenkeyless, 87-key form factor of the KM360 means a smaller keyboard footprint, so there's more desktop space for mouse movements, letting you game and work with more comfort and less clutter. Combined with ergonomic contoured keycaps, each key row is designed with a different lift and angle to let your fingers type comfortably and naturally, making the KM360 mechanical keyboard ideal for everyday use. The KM360 is available in 2 colors; White 'n Black.

1-Year Limited Warranty


The warranty is on the short side, so this is definitely not a plus.  Right, now that we do have some theoretical background covered, we can proceed to the practical part.
