G.Skill targets the value oriented crowd with the new KM250 RGB 65% form factor keyboard. It may cost less than dinner for two in a restaurant but does not cheap out on features by giving you a satisfying user experience courtesy per-key lighting, PBT pudding keycaps, a dedicated volume wheel, and even hot-swappable switches.

Great value for the price. 65% is a nice compromise for those that don't like full 60%. You don't really need to worry about remapping keys nearly as much with 65%, which means the software and bottom row layout isn't as big a deal as it is on a 60%. Definitely a nice inclusion at this price with the foam sheet and steel backplate. The sound profile is better than my blackwidow v3 mini.

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
This looks great, but it's a shame about the single SKU. US-ANSI may be the most popular layout, but close to half the planet doesn't use or want it.
