G.skill ripjaws km570 rgb review in Spanish (full analysis)

G.Skill is one of the main manufacturers of PC peripherals worldwide, this time they have sent us the G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB mechanical keyboard which is one of the most interesting options on the market by offering us the possibility of accessing advanced Cherry MX Silver push buttons with an activation travel of just 1.2 mm. The rest of its main features include an RGB LED lighting system and an ergonomic design to facilitate typing during long sessions.

First of all, we thank G.Skill for the trust placed in ceding the product to us for analysis.

Technical characteristics G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB

Unboxing and design

Once again we find a gala presentation at the height of the best, the G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB keyboard comes to us inside a fairly colorful cardboard box with a modern design in which the color gray predominates. G.Skill takes advantage of the entire surface of the box to offer us images of the keyboard as well as its very well-detailed characteristics, including the Cherry MX Silver mechanisms and the Spanish layout, which means that this keyboard includes the "Ñ". This keyboard is also available in other versions of Cherry MX buttons such as red, Blue, Brown and others.

We open the box and we find the following bundle:

G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB keyboard, Instruction manual, Warranty, Key extractor.

Finally we have before us the G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB keyboard, as you can see it is a full format keyboard that includes the numerical part on the right, something that makes it highly recommended for all types of users. Despite its complete format, it is a fairly compact keyboard with dimensions of 446.5 x 158.8 x 45.5 mm, something that has been possible by making the most of all the available space. The most negative part of it is that it does not include wrist rests, something that would have facilitated greater ergonomics when it comes to writing during long sessions. The keyboard is made of very good quality black plastic, its weight of 1.25 Kg is quite high, which makes us think of the inclusion of a large, high-quality metal plate inside.

A closer look at the typography, we can also see how multimedia functions and quick access to applications and utilities such as the browser or calculator have been included in the upper F1-F12 keys, something that will be very useful for some users. In the area of the numerical keyboard we can also see the inclusion of functions for adjusting the volume and recording macros on the fly.

The soul of any mechanical keyboard is its switches, G.Skill is one of the manufacturers with the best reputation for what has not been foolish and has placed the best technology that we can find on the market the acclaimed Cherry MX that have demonstrated needless to be the absolute reference in quality. Specifically we have the version with Cherry MX Silver, which are switches that stand out mainly for offering an activation path of only 1.2 mm with a maximum travel distance of 3.4 mm, this makes them the fastest switches in the world And they are highly appreciated by players with demanding titles like CS: GO. These switches have an activation force of 45 g, making them very soft and pleasant to the touch. The durability of these Cherry MXs is beyond question with their 50 million keystroke lifespan.

If we look from one of the sides, we see a small curve between the switches that allows us a better ergonomics and a better experience when using the keyboard. As expected, it incorporates a 1000 Hz ultrapolling. It also has Full N-Key Rollover (NKRO) technology and keys reinforced with Anti-Ghosting protection that transmit an ideal experience to the end user.

In the back we find two folding plastic legs that allow us to slightly lift the keyboard for greater comfort of use if the user considers it appropriate, something that is already a classic in all the gamer keyboards on the market and most of the totals.

Finally, at the end of its 2-meter braided and shielded cable we see the two gold-plated USB connectors for better contact and to prevent corrosion.

G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 Software

The G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 keyboard offers plug & play functionality so it can be used without installing any software, although it is highly recommended to use the application to get the most out of it. To download the software we only have to go to the official website of the manufacturer and look in the downloads section for the option for our keyboard. Its installation is as simple as any in Windows (All next), it does not have any difficulty. The application remains in the background and is accessible from the G.skill icon in the system tray.

We open the application and see that it is quite complete, firstly it gives us the option of managing multiple usage profiles and, what is more useful, linking them to applications so that they load automatically and we can have our keyboard always configured perfectly without having to do anything. It also gives us the option to copy these profiles to the internal memory of the keyboard to always have them at hand.

The second section has to do with the performance of the keyboard and we can configure options as varied as the polling rate from 125 Hz to 1000 Hz as a good gamer keyboard that is, the simultaneous pressing of 6 keys or all keys, the speed in the repetition of the pulsations and the delay of the repetition.

We continue with the lighting section, which is one of the most important of this keyboard by integrating a very advanced RGB system, we can configure it in the characteristic 16.8 million colors in addition to being able to adjust the intensity of the lighting and various modes of light. With this we can give our G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB keyboard a very attractive and unsurpassed aesthetic.

Finally we have a powerful macro manager.

Final words and conclusion about G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB

After using the G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB keyboard for several days, we can now make a fair assessment of the product. I have been using it in settings as different as games and writing articles and in all cases the sensations could not have been better, I would dare to say that it is the best keyboard that has passed through my hands. This is due in part to a very ergonomic design with details such as curvature that may seem silly but that is something that is appreciated and much once you start writing for hours.

This was the first time that I have tried the Cherry MX Silver, I really wanted to get my hands on them since I had read the wonders of these switches. They really are very fast mechanisms with an activation point of only 1.2 mm that makes that practically as soon as you touch the key the pulsation is registered. This can help to write faster but the first days it takes a little getting used to, if versions like Red already seem fast, these are going to be a Ferrari.

We recommend reading the best keyboards on the market

Finally we highlight its advanced RGB lighting system and a fairly complete software that knows how to get the full potential, of course not only to lighting but to all aspects of the keyboard.

G.Skill Ripjaws KM570 RGB is for sale in the main online stores for an approximate price of 170 euros, a very high figure that will make it difficult for many users to access it, but which is according to what the best keyboards on the market cost. It is not easy to make a product that stands out amid so much competition in PC keyboards.
