G.SKILL Mechanical KB Series
Adds New Planks At Lower Prices
The G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780R RGB and KM780R MX
mechanical keyboards are built on the same aluminum frame
with brushed black anodized finish. They feature a choice of
Cherry MX key switches, and each key can be programmed
for macros or its own function. There are six extra macro
keys and you can program macros on-the-fly. The boards
have full N-Key rollover and both boards can hold up to
three onboard keyboard profiles. The KM780R MX comes
with red background key lighting, while the KM780R RGB
model offers full per-key backlighting in your choice of
colors and lighting patterns. The new KM780R planks do
not include the package of extra gaming caps, keycap box,
and the cap puller tool that were part of the earlier KM780
keyboard series, so G.SKILL was able to lower prices on the
boards by $10 to $159.99 (RGB) and $119.99 (MX).
GIGABYTE Unveils XM300, The First
Mouse In Xtreme Gaming Lineup
GIGABYTE has announced its first gaming mouse under its
Xtreme Gaming brand. The XM300 is a wired mouse with
a 6,400dpi optical sensor. It’s built for right-handed users,
and users can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor in 50dpi
increments to find their personal sweet spot for gaming
responsiveness. The XM300 uses OMRON micro switches
rated at 20 million clicks durability for both the left- and
right-click buttons. The body of the mouse has rubber side
grips to ensure a firm hold, and it has Teflon “feet” to ensure a
smooth gliding motion. GIGABYTE includes two additional
sets of the feet so users can replace them over time as they
eventually wear down with heavy usage. The XM300 also
sports RGB lighting, so users can customize colors and
lighting effects to match their computing systems and gaming
style. As we went to press, there was still no official word on
the price or release date for the new mouse.
