Since last year, gasket-structure keyboards (with a cushioning layer connecting the top and bottom cases) have been gaining popularity in the custom mechanical keyboard community. This trend has attracted many manufacturers to innovate and develop these keyboards, adding features that are making them the go-to choice this year.
Recently, Newmen launched the GM780 featuring a gasket design, easy disassembly, a transparent case, and versatile connectivity options including wireless and wired Dual Mode for great convenience.
The GM780 mechanical keyboard comes in three themes with matching colors: Starry – Starry Night, Nebula – Mysterious Universe, and Sun – Sunset Clouds / Dawn Light. The packaging features themed colors and illustrations that make it instantly recognizable.
The Newmen GM780 includes plenty of accessories: a 2-in-1 switch puller, USB cable, 4 spare switches, a dust cover, and 4 themed keycaps that add unique color and pattern accents.
As you can see, the GM780 uses a transparent case. The Nebula theme features a soft purple color as the main tone, and the clear case creates a consistent visual experience. Through the transparent shell, you can clearly see the internal structure and wiring, giving a sense of exploration and discovery.
The GM780 is a compact mechanical keyboard with 78 keys arranged efficiently, omitting the function key row. This layout is very practical and perfect for those who prefer a neat, small setup.
The top part of the GM780 is slightly raised and features a decorative strip with the “Universe” theme, harmonizing perfectly with the key colors and overall design.
The USB-C port, power button, and connection mode switch are located on the upper right side of the keyboard. The top orange button toggles between Windows and Mac operating systems. This thoughtful layout makes quick adjustments easy and intuitive.
The bottom of the keyboard features alternating vertical and horizontal grooves. Some raised lines can work with anti-slip pads to provide stability, while also preventing the surface from feeling dull or boring due to a glossy finish.
The keyboard feet support two height levels and can be adjusted to three different tilt angles depending on your preference. The wireless receiver is hidden under a metal label, and the power switch uses a magnetic press-to-open design, which not only adds a fun design element but also makes storage convenient.
The keys combine light purple and cool white in an alternating pattern. This color combo creates a fresh, cool vibe that complements the “Nebula” theme perfectly.
The keycaps have a slightly matte finish, giving a fresh and refined feel when you touch them.
The included extra keycaps are pink and use Dyesub printing technology, allowing for sharp, full-color images. These four additional keys feature space exploration and aerospace designs.
The GM780 is compatible with most switches on the market, letting users customize freely to their liking.
The larger keys have been carefully balanced by the manufacturer for a great typing feel. You can expect smooth, reliable keystrokes without any input lag or ghosting.
The keyboard offers two modes: wireless and wired, with three connection methods: 2.4G, Bluetooth 5.0/3.0, and wired Type-C. It supports up to 5 devices simultaneously. Note that Bluetooth 5.0 mode uses less power and offers the longest wireless battery life. The 2.4G wireless connection has lower latency, ideal for fast-paced gaming.
It features a 3000mAh Lithium Polymer battery that lasts up to 100 hours without LED lighting, and 10 hours with the LEDs at full brightness. The transparent case enhances LED brightness, creating a warm, cozy glow in low-light environments.
The gasket structure (cushion connecting the top and bottom cases) stabilizes pressure. When you press a key firmly, it sinks slightly and gives a soft tactile feedback, reducing the hollow sound inside the keyboard. This results in quieter, more rounded keystrokes.
Summary
The GM780 is a feature-packed mechanical keyboard that embraces current trends, making it both stylish and user-friendly. Currently, there’s a launch promotion with a 500,000 VND discount, so it’s a great time to upgrade your keyboard. If you’re interested, check out the detailed info on Newmen’s official website..
