In our last roundup of mechanical keyboards, we determined there wasn't a clear winner out of the bunch, and while that's mostly true this time around, there is one that we favor above the rest. That one is G.Skill's Ripjaws KM780 RGB. It's the most balan...

The KM780 RGB keyboard can be easily paired with the MX780 gaming mouse thanks to the unified software which permits easy switching between the two for easy configuration. The new keyboard from G.SKILL employs one of the most recent switches from Cherry...
I don't like stating the obvious but G.SKILL first with their MX780 gaming mouse and now with their KM780 gaming keyboard has entered the gaming peripherals market without really holding back. In terms of build quality the KM780 RGB is among th...

G.Skill has made quite a splash in the market of gaming peripherals with the release of these three products, the KM780 RGB, SR910, and MX780 (Keyboard/Headphones/Mouse respectively). There is very little to complain about regarding the mouse. It felt g...

Gaming Key Caps not conducive to typing, Despite the few small issues I have with this keyboard, I feel that it is one of the best I have ever tested. It has all of the features a writer as well as a game needs, and as I said above, it's good enough to be
The new G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX is not your ordinary mechanical clicker, as it brings some high-end flavor, and excellent quality at a mid-range pricing point. The Cherry MX Brown switches are a little off from what I am use to (I am quite fond of MX Gre...
For a first keyboard release we find the RipJaws KM780 RGB from G.Skill extremely complete and versatile. It does remind us of the K70/K95 RGB from Corsair in many ways, it has the same feel and pretty much the very same features with some small differen...
It's always a brave decision to move from your comfort zone into a world that contains plenty of well-established brands with years of tweaking and polishing behind them. The odds of getting it perfect on your first attempt are pretty slim, but G.Skill ha...
