**A Gaming Keyboard Review: Gambus Gaming KS**

I've been using my new keyboard from Gambus Gaming, and I'm absolutely impressed with it. The build quality is amazing - nothing rattles, feels loose, or looks cheap. Even though it's made of all plastic, it just feels solid and rigid. This is great coming from a company that I've never heard of before. Not to mention the key caps are some of the best I've ever had or typed on. The font looks gorgeous, with a slight curvature that makes it comfortable to type on. The texture is amazing to type on, and the red LED back lighting comes through at night and matches my red and black themed gaming PC build downstairs perfectly.

It's clear that Gambus Gaming knew exactly what I needed this keyboard for. They seem to have done their research and catered to gamers like me who are always on the lookout for a great mechanical keyboard. The TTC Red switches used in this keyboard are really good for gaming - they're responsive, making it perfect for competitive games where speed is crucial.

One of my favorite features of this keyboard is the red LED backlighting. Every key is individually backlit, which would have been ideal if they had individual backlighting control, especially since the software allows for it. I can imagine having multiple profiles with different backlight settings - for example, one profile for Dota 2 with individual hot keys lit up, and another for Starcraft 2 or Cod. However, I'm hoping that they will implement this feature in a future update.

Another aspect of the keyboard that I was concerned about is the switches themselves. The fact that Gambus Gaming uses TTC switches instead of Cherry MX has raised some eyebrows among gamers. However, I've found them to be great and have lasted long enough for me to get used to them. In fact, I'm considering using this keyboard over my Leopold which, unfortunately, has three busted keys, including the print screen key.

Overall, I would give this keyboard 4.5 out of five stars. The build quality is top-notch, the key caps are comfortable and easy to type on, and the red LED backlighting looks amazing. At $60 shipped to your door, it's an excellent value for a mechanical keyboard. My only two criticisms are that there isn't individual backlighting control and the n-key rollover could be improved.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this keyboard to gamers who don't have a mechanical keyboard yet. If you're looking for a great gaming keyboard and don't mind the lack of individual backlighting control, Gambus Gaming's KS is an excellent option. Keep in mind that it's only red LED backlit, but if you can live with that, it's a steal at $60.

**Update:** I've been thinking about getting more keyboards from Gambus Gaming and would love to see them implement individual backlighting control in future updates. Additionally, the n-key rollover could be improved. However, these are minor criticisms of an otherwise excellent keyboard.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enlet's take a look at the Hermes light mechanical keyboard from a company called gambas it's actually been a while since I've had a mechanical keyboard come through here however when gambas asked me if I wanted to take a look at their Hermes light mechanical keyboard I thought sure why not and today I'm going to be telling you guys what you get in the box with this going talking about the features of this keyboard board and I'm going to be giving you my subjective opinion on this keyboard as well as a noise test now straight on to the keyboard itself the main thing as soon as you pick up this keyboard you'll notice that the build quality is very good everything on this keyboard felt solid and rigid which was really surprising coming from a company that I've never heard from before furthermore upon pulling off the key switches themselves you'll notice under there they've got red mechanical switches and they're by a company called TTC so that's right they're not Cherry MX mechanical switches however don't let that fool you in practice these things work exactly like a Cherry MX switch and I've actually got a Cherry MX red keyboard here and I could not tell the difference one bit that being said just above those switches you've got red LED backlighting which is individually back lit for every key on this keyboard however one thing to note is that you do not have control over every individual key back lighting there a little bit of a bummer there however the key caps themselves feel very well constructed the texture is also like a semi gloss smooth finish so your fingers will grip them and they will feel smooth kudos to gambs for making such a good key cap now the actual font on there as well in my opinion looks very nice so it's like a solid font that's sort of like a mix between normal and razor and I think it's a perfect blend on a keyboard now onto the main construction of the keyboard itself it's an all plastic design and the back plating is plastic too however as I said before very solid build quality the key caps as well in practice did not wiggle at all you also have a wrist rest on the front of the keyboard and over a 100 keys to utilize on this keyboard itself now an intuitive thing and one thing that I do like about this keyboard is the individual backlighting for the caps lock num lock and scroll lock keys if they're on then the lights will come on if they're off the lights will go off as well you've also got two macro keys there the space bar and the b key as labeled by G1 and G2 too and you've also got the function key to enable them in the software and the software is very lightweight and easy to use but we'll talk a little bit about that later as well back onto the rear of the keyboard itself you've got six grips there to grip the table and again this keyboard it doesn't move once you place it on the table it's got one level of adjustment there which will allow you to get your height up on your keyboard if you wish to use it like that you've also got three angles and pivots there to Cable manage the uh braided cable which also has a gold tip plating the cable itself comes in at 1.8 m long so ample long enough though if you do need a longer length You may wish to get a USB extension cable also one thing to point out is the 5vt 250 milliamp requirements so if you're using this with a very cheap laptop just keep in mind that it isn't the 100 milliamp standard now back onto the front of the keyboard where all the magic happens you have four different levels of brightness there you've got off 33% 66% and 100% you've also got the op for breathing with 4 to 6 to 8 second intervals there and lastly you have the responsive effect where you can turn the lighting off but when you press a key the whole keyboard lights up one thing to keep in mind is that the print screen button for some reason will always stay lit up now taking a look at the software itself you have six different profiles there to choose from and you can save them rename them you can also attach them to launch with different games and you can even assign different hotkeys when you want to launch those Prof files very intuitive design with the software it's also lightweight and it can be saved with the onboard memory of the keyboard so you don't have to actually use this program once you've saved your different settings also You' got the option there to create different macros for instance I created a macro to open up Wolfenstein and it worked flawlessly not to mention you can change the different speeds of the timings in between very good macro function with this keyboard you can also give those macros to your friends or you can copy macros from other people also looking at the software you've got the option there to switch your function key and Windows key around and now interesting or oddly enough with this keyboard is you have the windows key located on the right side of the keyboard by default but again this software alleviates that problem at least for me very quickly without any problems at all looking below that you've got the 6 and 21n key rollover effect there the one thing I will point out is when I tried the 21n key rollover effect it didn't work properly when I for instance hit 10 keys at the same time I could my keyboard bugged out so I just leave it on 6n key rollover and in practice I think it's more of a marketing effect than anything also this software allows you to add individual recordings to macros and or individual key presses lastly on the note of software they allow you to update the software at any time which means that they can add in more functions in the future which is a great thing with this keyboard and with that being said we'll quickly move on now to a noise test and then I'll go on to my sub objective opinion and conclusion so now I'll talk about my experience with this keyboard and what I like and don't like about it however ever since I've pulled P this keyboard out of the box I've been nothing but impressed with it the build quality is amazing nothing rattles nothing feels loose and even though it's made of all plastic it just feels solid and rigid and this is great coming from a company that I've never heard of before not to mention that the key caps are some of the best I've ever had or best I've ever typed on it's got a slight curvature there the font looks gorgeous and the texture is amazing to type on and then that red LED back lighting comes through at night and it matches my red and black themed gaming PC build downstairs perfectly it's as if they knew I needed this keyboard so kudos to gambas for getting this right however on that note we will talk about the red switches so this keyboard uses TTC red switches and now they differ from blue and brown switches and if you guys want to know the differences between those switches I'll put a video up here that you can check out where I explain all the differences between them and who and what switch is best for who however the red switch that they use today is really good for gaming as it's really responsive and you'll absolutely love it when you're coming to competitive games and you need the fastest key presses so let's talk about the red LED backlighting now every key is individually backlit however one thing I would have liked to have seen as individual backlighting control especially since the software allows for this to happen and if you could utilize this it would have made the keyboard perfect I mean I could have had a profile for Dota 2 with the IND individual hot keys back lit up and then change to Starcraft 2 have the hot keys I use in that game back lit up and then go to Cod same thing however I'd imagine they will implement this in a future update or hopefully they will and this keyboard would be perfect though lastly you're wondering about the TTC switches and the fact that they don't use cherry and for me that is not a problem at all I actually have another keyboard here a Leopold which is going to sit on the bench now this uses Cherry MX switches except the problem with this keyboard is these three keys are busted and I actually need my print screen key so I had to reprogram my key through some dodgy program to make my print screen down here so I mean the fact is with the switches themselves they will last a long time it's the implementation of those switches which is what matters I.E the workmanship on the keyboard how good was the soldering etc etc and honestly the workmanship on the gambus keyboard is really good and as I said before this Le old keyboard here is going to be getting bench lined so in conclusion I'm going to be giving this keyboard 4 and 1 half stars out of five I was impressed with the build quality absolutely impressed with it not only that the keycaps themselves very easy to type on feel great and then you've got that amazing looking font as well that's red LED backlit and all that if you go to their website you can get it for $60 shipped to your door that is one thing that you should get on honestly if you're looking for a keyboard and you're a gamer and you don't have a mechanical keyboard already I would jump on this now keep in mind though that it is only red LED backlit so you if you're teaming it up with a black and blue theme for example you might want to look at a different option however you can turn the backlighting off and even then at 60 USD it's a great buy also one thing I would like to see with this keyboard would be the individual backlighting control and I hope they Implement that in a future update of their software I think this would this is the reason why I'm not giving it five stars is that it just doesn't have that individual backlighting control there as well as the fact is the n key rollover isn't really 21n key rollover as well in in sense I guess it might be 8N key rollover true n key rollover however that being said the gambus keyboard here today is absolutely amazing and they've done a really good job on getting this keyboard in at a great price so that's about it for today guys
