After a week's use, I am extremely happy with this keyboard. It is solid as a tank, saves your lighting profiles and macros to the board's memory (no software needed after initial setup) and there's no light bleed. The software is relatively difficult to use for a few minutes as you learn through trial and error. However after getting the hang of it, it's a piece of cake to set up. I have a couple of simple macros, and two main profiles for games.
The colors are very vivid and while I'm not a fan of RGB lighting on motherboards, RAM, or anything stupid like that, the keyboard is a perfect application. The selection of colors is great - I use dark blue as my main background and orange for my "contrast keys". For the Insert/Delete/Arros section I use a very nice green, magenta for numpad, and red and yellow for random other keys up top. After learning that you can select the whole board to change color simply by clicking and dragging a box over the keyboard, I was able to try a dozen different setups quickly before settling on my preferred one. As I said, once you learn the software it's pretty powerful and a snap to set up a new profile.
My only complaint is that on keys that have two symbols (function keys, numbers, numpad), the LED light really only lights up the top part of the key. This isn't an issue for the numbers or numpad since the important symbol is on top, but the traditional numbers below the F keys are pretty dark in a lighted room. At night it's not an issue and TBH it's not like I can't figure out where 3 or 8 is. However, for a $100 keyboard it is a bit of a let down and something G.Skill should fix going forward.
The uploaded picture is for Diablo 3, with keys 1-4, H and I lit up. I have the Brown switches which are great for typing or gaming.

The uploaded picture is for Diablo 3, with keys 1-4, H and I lit up. I have the Brown switches which are great for typing or gaming.
Pro's:
1. Most of these back-lit keyboards have the top row of numbers in addition to several keys like left / right arrow, colon, pipe, and curly braces REVERSED i.e., upside down! This is no doubt intended for gamers and also because the LED on a cherry switch is not directly center because of the mechanics of the switch. Since I'm less gamer than an IT Networking/Linux student, I would get caught up when needed to hit the right key in addition to using Shift. I've been typing on keyboards since 1990 and am used to seeing the $ symbol ABOVE the number 4, not BELOW it. GSkill is the only company making a keyboard with cherry switches that have the proper arrangement, lighting be damned and that's OK by me.
2. It has a no frills layout. I don't need bling.
3. The switches feel great and there's no echo or ringing when keys are hit aggressively. A Romer-G can drive you insane.
4. It has a strain-relieved high-quality USB cable with none of the detachable BS of some other brand-named keyboards. I don't have to worry about how it's connected or if it's going to come out.
5. It REMEMBERS its lighting setting if it's unplugged. Do you see this Logitech?
Con's:
1. The red back-light. I wish more manufacturers would use a basic clean white for the entry-level non-RGB models. Some people just want a basic back-light. The red is clean but it's red......
2. It has a tendency to slide around. Please add some rubber to the flip-down legs on the rear and make the front pads make more contact with the surface and there won't be any sliding.
Ultimately I'm happy to see a great product come out of GSkill. I bought RAM from them over the years which never failed me. This keyboard needs to be on the list of anyone looking for a no-frills board with cherry switches. I give it 4.5 stars.
I also really like the backlit keys (one of the main features I was looking for). The brightness level is adjustable, a good thing considering the default level is blinding in a dim room. However, this means that6 you can actually see the backlighting clearly even in a bright room. The only problem I've had so far was with upgrading the firmware (which probably wasn't even necessary). It froze on the first attempt, and I had to do a hard reset. But the second time the upgrade went through, and I haven't had a single problem since. I hope to get 2-3 years out of this keyboard, and so far it looks like it will be able to deliver. Good job G.Skill!

La iluminación está bien, pero se ilumina mayormente la parte superior del keycap, por lo que en el caso de los números el número se ve más opaco que los símbolos de la parte superior (creo que esto es mayormente problema del tipo de switches, ya que los cherry mx no están diseñados para el rgb), sin embargo, la sensación que produce al escribir vale completamente la pena.
Para algunos el que esté en inglés puede ser un problema pero para mí es una ventaja, depende del uso que se le vaya a dar.
La foto con dos teclados el de arriba es el Logitech G213 y abajo el GSkill KM570, considero más vistoso y bonito el Logitech, pero en tacto y sensación para escribir no es competencia para el GSkill.
En cuestión del nivel de ruido les recomiendo buscar el tipo de switch en Youtube para que se den una idea de que tan ruidoso es, en mi caso pedí el Cherry MX Blue por que buscaba su sonido y tacto, pero si puede ser ruidoso y molesto si no es lo que se busca
