Once connected and the PC powered up, subtlety. There's buttons for the keyboards back-lit keys, which can be adjusted in brightness modes and off and seven animations. One color back-lighting though, red.

There's not much going on at the backside. They keyboard has a firm grip due to the combo of nice weight and rubber feet. You can use standoffs as well to allow a little more height and create an angled position. They keyboard weighs in at just over a kg, so it has a firm grip on your desktop.

The KM570 RGB uses a dark and very nicely braided cable that is roughly two meters in length. It is a bit thick, something I personally dislike a little but other then that I am nitpicking really.

Under the arrow keys you can control and dim the LEDs and animation speeds as well. BTW I am not a big fan of huge logos, my advice to G.Skill would be to make these a little more subtle. Also the space bar has the G.Skill logo, that's lovely if you work at G.Skill but other then that I can only assume that end-users will dislike it.

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?).
