Gamdias Hermes M3 Gaming Keyboard April 05, 2019 In Gaming Peripherals Top Deals The gaming keyboard market can be quite a confusing galaxy top step foot in if you're not really sure what you are looking for specifically, or if you are looking for a new gaming keyboard but you don't have an arm and a leg to spend on a new one. There are always people that think that the most expensive products mean that they are much better products, or that the price matches the quality. But that might not always be the case. Yes, you are guaranteed a certain quality when purchasing from big name brands. That does not mean a new brand name can start taking the scene by storm. Specifically one brand in particular, Gamdias; M3 Gaming Keyboard.Gamdias is a relatively new name in the South African gaming scene and people tend to be slightly skeptical of new brands stepping into the ring. New is not always a bad thing though, it offers a little variety, fresh face in the ever saturating gaming product market. The Gamdias M3 Gaming Keyboard is certainly a lightweight heavy hitter, in more ways than one.The M3 is an extremely thin, light and low profile Gaming Keyboard that makes the lightest and thinnest keyboards look like they have been on winter hibernation. With a solid backplate there is hardly any flex when crashing down on the keys while in game or just furiously typing out a report or email. Don't let the thin, compact form factor of the M3 make you think that it is a delicate little flower, it can definitely take a punch. The compact nature of the keyboard makes it easy to transport. A detachable power cable scores points in many people's books as it makes for much easier transport and increases the longevity of the cable itself. As for the switches, here at Evetech we offer the M3 in two switch types, the Brown and very popular Blue switch. The brown switch is a a softer switch type with a tactile bump that is not as audible as the Blue switch but still gives you that feed back when actuation occurs. The Blue switch however is a clicky switch. It makes the actuation feel fantastic but has quite an audible “clicking” sound to it. The keycaps are a sturdy low profile design that keeps to the entire slim nature of the keyboard. At first glance one might think that the keycaps will be flimsy and unreliable, but it is quite the opposite. At first touch you will notice that the keys stay in place and have a very sturdy nature to them. The low profile innovation makes it a very short 3mm actuation as opposed to the 5mm on most mechanical keyboards and the keys have an estimated lifespan of up to 60 million presses. 10 million more than most other mechanical keyboards that you can find on the market today.If you take a moment to admire the style and aesthetics of the M3, sharp vivid colours are the first thing that pops into your mind. With 16.8 million colours to choose from you can customise your lighting to match your setup or have the vibrant colours echo around your room. The low profile look gives off a very elegant and sleek style, a small performance monster. It might be the size of a smart car but it has the internals of a sports car.Besides all the marketing mumbo jumbo, the M3 takes a unique approach to the gaming keyboard market. When you are gaming, the keys feel light and responsive, but not light enough to accidentally press the wrong key in the wrong moment. When it comes to typing, it performs just as well, if not, slightly better over gaming. The brown switches are quiet enough to use in an office setting without the lady in cubicle 3 staring at you constantly, but tactile enough to give you that extremely satisfying mechanical feel.If you are in the market for a brand new gaming keyboard and dont have the bucks to blow on a massively expensive one but you still want to have the same experience, or a better experience, with a cheaper gaming keyboard. Gamdias might just be the answer for you. The Gamdias M3 Low Profile Mechanical gaming keyboard certainly makes the ‘dynamite comes in small packages’ statement very liable.Punch way above your weight class with the excellent Gamdias M3 gaming keyboard.
