G Skill may be better known for their memory and storage products, but they are expanding their portfolio. Today we look at their new keyboard – the Ripjaws KM780 RGB. This keyboard incorporates Cherry MX mechanical switches and clear housings to deliver uniform RGB backlighting.
It also packs a metal piped frame, detachable wrist rest, media keys, macro switches and a number of other fancy functions, all into a brushed aluminium frame. This is no budget product, as RGB mechanical keyboards tend to be – but can it justify the price tag?
The G Skill Ripjaws KM780 RGB has all of the usual back-end software features and a number of neat additional extras not included by other keyboard companies. Time to take a look up close.

ok obviously I am completely blind, what was the price of this KB ?
It was the first thing I found: “No UK pricing or release information has yet been unveiled, but based on the U.S. price of $170 (reduced currently to $150 in some places) converted and with the usual VAT and import taxes, we can probably expect the sterling price to be around the £140-£150 mark.”
cheers, either it’s the morphine affecting me or I’m just blind as a bat.
