G.Skill announces Ripjaws KM560 MX gaming keyboard

Tenkeyless keyboard with Cherry MX switches

G.Skill has unveiled its first tenkeyless gaming keyboard with Cherry MX mechanical switches, the Ripjaws KM560 MX.

Based on the same design as the Ripjaws KM570 gaming keyboard released earlier, except for the obvious compact design which should appeal to gamers frequenting LAN parties, the Ripjaws KM560 MX keyboard will be available with Red, Brown and Blue Cherry MX switches.

The Ripjaws KM560 MX gaming keyboard measures 36.51 x 15.88 x 4.09cm and weighs 960g, which is respectable considering its size. It also has a slightly contoured design, which should further improve ergonomics.

The Ripjaws KM560 MX also has anti-ghosting and full n-Key rollover design and comes with quick hotkeys, accessed via Fn-key on F1-F12 keys. It also supports macros, with on-the-fly macro recording. It uses USB 2.0 interface, connected via 2m long braided cable.

According to G.Skill, the new Ripjaws M560 MX tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard should be already available in Asia region, which the US and Europe should get it in Q4 2017. Unfortunately, we did not get a precise price tag.
