G.SKILL RipJaws KM570 MX mechanical keyboard
Value for money at 59 USD while remaining true to Cherry MX switches 

We review the KM570 MX mechanical keyboard from the G.Skill gaming series. The unit is affordable (really affordable) and has been fitted with Cherry MX (in our case) red switches. It is a keyboard that offers value for money and doesn't go all berserk with RGB LED activity. Just subtle red back-lit keys and if you want to, you can animate them.

G.Skill opened up a new chapter ever since a year as they offer gaming peripheral products including headsets, mice and keyboards. The G.SKILL KM570 as we review today is a more value keyboard. Armed with Cherry MX switches of your choice red/blue/brown (we review red) G.Skill realized, it's not just all about the RGB LEDs and cool lighting animations these days. This keyboard does come with just one color back lit keys, red and sure these can be animated, turned on but also off. The keyboard goes back to basics in term of design, a ridged product sitting on your desktop that for a change actually looks like a keyboard you grew up with :) Being Cherry MX based it has switchable keys for which some fo them are contoured. The keyboard comes with a USB connector and some aesthetics tweaks.  Though perfect for normal usage, we feel the KM570 is a great FPS and RTS gaming keyboard.

 

 

The specs overall include a 1000Hz polling rate (configurable), 100% anti-ghosting, and the media keys and it is a full n-key rollover keyboard. For the G.Skill KM570 you can choose from red, blue and brown Cherry MX keys for your preferred key pressure preferences, Cherry Red is the most popular one available. A product that is on sale at just 59 USD (MSRP) but normally costs 99 USD. 
 

 

Let's have a peek at that video first so we get the LED system overview out of the way and then browse our way into the review.

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?).
