G.SKILL Releases KM360 Tenkeyless Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard at $49.99
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, 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 aluminium 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.
Designed for Ease of Use
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.

... Wait, no.... RGB.... NOOOOOO!
I think I might grab one of these to replace my broken CM... although I don’t know if I can do without the numpad. It’s useful to have, but doesn’t get *that* much use.
Would consider buying if available in a UK layout, even without the number pad, because that price is really tempting.
I would however want to be able to select different switches, I have a hankering for some silvers.
Great looking keyboard, minimalist and no unnecessary stuff.
Thumbs up G.Skill
As for the reason for TKL and other smaller layouts being popular: it's not just size/space but also ergonomics. Full size either means typing on an offset keyboard or having your mouse in a horribly unergonomic position out in the 'burbs of the desk. Neither is good for your arms and hands. A separate numpad is far better for ergonomics - it's just a shame that most mechanical numpads seem to be about $100 by themselves.
Any word on an ISO layout version of this?
TKL is fine by me. I like the space. I agree there are times when it's very useful if you're used to them. That's why I keep a separate numpad tucked away. Much prefer this over having it sitting there the other 90% of the time when I'm not using it.
So far, no luck.
Kinda looking for a TKL, I find the numpad more of an obstruction than anything else lately.
Interestingly, the black one is more expensive on delivery from Newegg compared to the white one. No idea why...? :D
I guess it could find its niche with the white board at least.
The only thing I can't figure out, is why add an Fn button if you don't wanna bother adding some sort of keycap legend to supposed function keys.
Other than that I like it a lot. Time to upgrade my shitty modded Zalman TKL board for sure.I wouldn't say that. Cherry so far seems to be more reliable than cheaper competition. So far only my Gateron browns have survived... mostly... I still had to replace 4 of them during this 3-year period (q,e,alt,space) and deal with excessive loudness even with o-rings. Kailh got their sh%t together in some areas (mouse, LP , silent switches, encoders etc.) but their traditional reds and blacks are still as bad as they were before (even though their spec has significantly more unrealistic endurance numbers than the older ones).
It's actually a sturdy board, and honestly, feels like a great purchase so far. I will keep playing with it and see what happens as I use it more.
I did originally think it had RGB, but the fact that it is only white is a total nonissue for me. This actually makes it look far more elegant, and dare I say it, a possible contender for a work keyboard. Time to join in on the mechanical noises at work and to annoy some people. :D
