G.SKILL Releases KM360 Tenkeyless Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard at $49.99
G.SKILL is releasing a new compact and durable KM360 tenkeyless mechanical keyboard for professionals and gaming enthusiasts with a MSRP of $49.99 USD, featuring long-lasting Cherry MX mechanical key-switches, wear-proof ABS double injection keycaps, and a solid brushed aluminum top-plate.
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.
Designed to Work Smarter
The compact tenkeyless 87-key form factor of the KM360 means a smaller keyboard footprint, so there's more desktop space for mouse movement, letting you game and work with more comfort and less clutter. Combined with ergonomic contoured keycaps, each keycap 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.
Availability and Pricing
The G.SKILL KM360 professional mechanical keyboard is available in two color variations, KM360 Black or KM360 White, with a MSRP of $49.99 USD.

If its anything like their previous keyboard, the KM780, it will be noisy as all hell.
I've tried quieting mine with double silicon rings but its still terribly loud.
The only fix is to take it apart and oil specific parts of the switches internally, then fit QMX clips to fill the echo space between the key cap and switch housing, I have been told.

Double silicon ring (or more as i have seen too) kill the benefit of the switch, if after a single ring (wich is a nice upgrade BTW) it is still noisy it is that you type too far and/or too strong
It depend of the switch used... This one use real cherry MX red and black: both are noisy
On previous keyboard there was the MX brown too that were more quiet (but feel the clic).

You need to hear this keyboard, the lightest touch makes a lot of noise.
Tapping a key without making it move is noisy.
It has MX Browns.
Another user of this keyboard confirmed theirs is the same.
I tried a friends Corsair with MX Browns and it is much quieter without any O rings fitted.

Everything about that keyboard seems nice to me, except the lack of a numpad. It's compact, it has a classy appearance, it's future-ready with USB-C, Cherry MX, solid construction, and for a very nice price.
If I didn't already have a mechanical keyboard, I would heavily consider that one.
