G.SKILL RipJaws KM780 RGB Mechanical keyboard

We review the G.SKILL RipJaws KM780 RGB Mechanical keyboard with the all new Cherry-MX RGB LEDs. The G.SKILL KM780 RGB mechanical keyboard is the the first keyboard series from G.Skill and with this rather awesome entry G.Skill is about to impress. This keyboard comes with Cherry Brown MX switches that have RGB lighting which is per key configurabl. It can be animated and profiled, and next to that these mechy keys also have trick or two encompassed in the new design as well.

As G.Skill opens up a new chapter with the new gaming pehiperals they release an RGB line of gaming products including headsets, mice and thus keyboards. The G.SKILL KM780 RGB keyboard we're testing today, is a programmable per key configurable RGB Cherry MX tech based mechanical keyboard. It's not just all about the RGB LEDs and cool lighting animations of course, the keyboard comes in black and heavy design with looks that can be labeled as pleasant. You will also reveice extra rugged swappable keys, the keyboard comes with a USB connector and even a rubberized wrist-rest. From an aesthetics view we think G.Skill gets it. The KM780 is a mechanical FPS gaming keyboard.

As you'll be able to see, the KM780 RGB comes with a detachable full-sized wrist rest as well. The specs overall include a 1000Hz polling rate (configurable), 100% anti-ghosting, and the media keys and USB pass-through on the rear remain too. The KB780 RGB is a full n-key rollover keyboard. It allows you to reduce the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500, 250 or 125Hz. For the G.Skill Km780 RGB you can choose from red, blue and brown Cherry MX keys for your preferred key pressure preferences, Cherry Red and Browns will be initially available, while Cherry Blue will be available at a later date. A product that will be priced at 159 USD (MSRP). Will it be worth it ?

Let's have a peek at that first ... and then browse our way into the review, in a rather colorful setting. Check the video above to see the RGB lighting system in action. Then we'll head onwards into the review.
