CHERRY G80-3000N RGB

Great keyboard for its price range. Definitely a good choice if you want a good gaming keyboard without spending ridiculous prices. Quality seems good, even though it’s hard to tell when it’s new, but so far I like it a lot.

On first impressions, it's the perfect all around keyboard. Lighting is nice and customisable. However, there is a MASSIVE problem with this model. Type anything at normal pressure and you get this irritating echo style metallic sound every time you hit the key. The metal sound reverbs afterwards. The keys feel nice but the metal sound is too annoying to bare. So, so disappointed from Cherry. My first Cherry keyboard and feel really let down. Plus the packaging was poor and box damaged. Really sad.

This is a well made keyboard. Illumination is even and high quality. Key action is positive and consistent. Software is easily installed and offers many options. I noticed a fault on mine after about 7 months use. This may have been there since new since it was only visible when switching off the illumination in a dark room. The red LED under the Esc key was not switching off fully, leaving a faint orange glow. Cherry's customer service was excellent, an email confirmed this was a fault in a couple of hours and Amazon's customer service resolved it in a Chat. the replacement keyboard was with me in less than 24 hours.

Other reviewers commented that keyboard has an annoying spring noise and I thought "how bad can it be?" - well frankly, it's terrible. It rings in your ears and it's very difficult to ignore as it's incredibly annoying. I've stopped using the keyboard as the noise is too distracting - and use an Anker Clicky keyboard that is louder but not annoying as it doesn't have this high pitched twanging spring noise - I wish I hadn't bought this keyboard and I will give it away.

Have had this for about a year and it’s still working perfectly. Good, solid, mechanical keyboard with quiet keys (well, quiet for a mechanical keyboard). Very happy with the purchase.

faulty key switches, broke in less than 2 weeks of owning, it has a metal baseplate that rings in your ears loudly whenever you type with it, and since I cannot return it I am now stuck with this faulty keyboard, buy a keyboard with lots of reviews (at least 300+) and a high rating of 4.5+ or else you will experience this same thing.

Absolutely great keyboard with quiet micro switches and simplistic design. Read instructions for a guide to change colours and patterns without installing software.

In terms of the core typing experience, this keyboard isn't bad. The keys are good in terms of of travel and feel, but don't illuminate evenly - the normal (non-numpad) number keys in particular are under-lit for the numbers; I have that row bright red, and they're a dull orange. The keyboard is pure plastic and does not feel that solid. It also annoyingly has a fixed red LED override colour on the caps/num/scroll lock wheels when they're on, as they have 4 gimmick keys (volume and...calculator) where those LED's should be; Actively annoying, when I'd prefer LED's top right for this over the custom keys. The space bar also has no lighting element. (A more minor annoyance is the fact I needed to make a custom static rainbow myself with their software, as you can't actually stop other profiles from moving, and the static profile only has single colour, despite all the others having a rainbow option. Really?) Definitely expected more for the money.
