Product Showcase

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 red 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 and a manual/warranty guide. The KM570 has red led lit back-lights on each of the keys, thus per lit key functionality that can be dimmed and animated. 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 and relatively normal comes to mind. The keyboard feels nice and heavy, made out of a plastic base. You will notice that we received the the model with Cherry red switches.

The media function keys on the keyboard itself are basic yet functional. 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.

G.Skill TridentZ 5 DDR5 5600 CL36 review
G.Skill has prepared very well for launching a new memory standard and has presented three DDR5 series: the Trident Z5 (5600-6400 MHz), the Trident Z5 RGB (the same range as the non-RGB’s), and the Ripjaws S5 (5200-5600 MHz). They all come in 32 GB kits (2 x 16 GB), and their frequency is higher than the base 4800 MHz. Today, we are checking the G.Skill TridentZ5 5600 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit. It’s not the high-end of the series, as even the 6400 MHz CL32 are available, and the 5600 MHz is the lowest frequency you can get from this DDR5 family.

G.Skill Z5i (Mini ITX) chassis review
This time, we're checking out the G.Skill Z5i, the first chassis from a company known the most from the RAM. Some can remember that there's an AIO (Enki) available, as well as the keyboards (like KM360), mice (and mousepad), headsets, or PSUs. The attempt is made in a not-so-popular segment, meaning the Mini-ITX (so that's one of the reasons for the mentioned limit). This choice is a brave one as it's not so easy to create a good product here. Yes, it's gaining the share, but the ATX is dominating (maybe we'll also see something from G.Skill?).
