Betwixt extra normal conferences, final week I sat on the ground of the halls of Gamescom Cologne with a keyboard on my lap that’s apparently a “new resolution for the boring entry-level keyboard market.” That is in keeping with Superb, and the keyboard in query is the GMBK 75%.
I am comfortable to say, even only a look was sufficient to pique my curiosity, at the very least as soon as I noticed the worth was proper, which it actually appears to be. We’re speaking $59.99 / € 59.99. And sure, that is for a membrane keyboard, however the thought right here is you are getting an entry-level membrane board that is truly customisable and appears and feels nice.
The headline characteristic is its MX-compatible design. It has little stems underneath every key that let you use your regular MX-style keycaps. After all, given it is a membrane keyboard, the X-shaped stem is for that reason alone and will not be used for precise switches.

Along with being suitable with tons of keycaps, the GMBK 75% additionally has 10-zone RGB, plus a detachable USB-C cable, which you’ll exchange with no matter you need. Its dial on the prime proper can be suitable with GMMK 3 ones, too, if you wish to splash out. Although I am undecided whether or not an entry-level keyboard is the most effective candidate for a keyboard to splurge on.
Other than the widely fairly respectable worth proposition on provide right here, supplied you are eager on customisation above mechanical really feel and efficiency, I used to be pleasantly stunned by the typing really feel. I did not get to spend ages attempting it out, however from the jiffy I spent tapping away, I used to be impressed. I would not confuse it with a mech board—not an opportunity—however it did not really feel too mushy to my fingertips.
A ultimate factor to notice is that, as cool as it would look, the three keycap set combo pictured within the prime picture is only for demonstration. You may have to select between one in every of these units to start out with (I might go for the left-most one, personally). However in fact, the concept is you’ll be able to decide any keycap set you need and go together with that, even when it is not from Superb.
