The Designed by GG Ironclad v3 is a top-of-the-range keyboard offering enhanced typing comfort. Its gasket mount structure and original lubricated mechanical switches provide a silent, resonance-free typing experience. It features hot-swappable switches to extend the life of the keyboard, as well as Open Source firmware that lets users make the hardware their own.
Ironclad v3 offers simple, high-performance original firmware. With an intuitive driver, you can customise keyboard backlighting, reassign keys and create macros with ease. It's the ideal solution for novice users looking for a simple, functional keyboard. For power users, the keyboard is compatible with the Open Source QMK firmware (Fork SonixQMK). This makes it possible to create advanced shortcuts on several layers, modify the functions of the scroll wheel, and generally have total control over the keyboard.
Finally, for gamers looking for speed, there's a third firmware optimised for celerity. By sacrificing the RGB lighting and reassigning the hardware clock to the matrix scan, you get a scanning frequency of 6,000 Hz, so that keystrokes can be detected in milliseconds, every millisecond (the USB frequency remains at 1,000Hz, so this feature simply ensures that keystrokes are detected in milliseconds). Freely interchangeable, the firmware installation is completely reversible. If you install faulty firmware, you can use a button to force the keyboard to restart in bootloader mode and reinstall stable firmware.
The factory-lubricated switches provide a smooth, silent keystroke and eliminate resonance. The stabilisers are lubricated with PFPE-based grease and do not reflect metallic echoes. The noisy scraping of the space bar will be a memory of another era. The keys are made from PBT, giving you extra resistance to abrasion. Unlike ABS keys, PBT is chemically inert when it comes into contact with the skin and doesn't take on a greasy texture after prolonged use.
What's more, the lettering on the keys is thermoformed, so they're not just etched in surface paint. They are formed by a plastic structure running through the entire shell. This method ensures that the lettering will last over time.
Brown Raccoon switches are inspired by the famous Holy Panda. They offer a tactile detent immediately after the start of the stroke, followed by a smooth glide and a clean rebound.
If you like Browns, you'll love Raccoons.

Very good keyboard for those who like simple, efficient and reliable things. Feel and sound very pleasant.
Pretty keyboard, pleasant to the touch, silent keys, handling +++ . Very satisfied with the purchase.
Excellent keyboard, but the software is a bit too basic, doing the bare minimum, so to speak. However, there's a big lie about the interchangeable switches: they're not interchangeable at all. They're so firmly soldered that I cracked one when trying to remove it. I tried to remove several of them with tools I use on other keyboards, but it's impossible to move them even a millimetre. It's a shame, as this modularity was the reason I bought it.
Incredible mechanical keyboard with factory-lubricated keys.
Soft touch, incredibly quiet for a mechanical keyboard.
The RGB adds a little something extra.
Delighted with my purchase (and the delivery times).
I use this keyboard for coding and gaming.
The software isn't up to scratch with the hardware. Not everything is configurable and it's quite limited (nothing for the left wheel, no layering, etc.).
The open-source firmware fills some gaps but introduces others and requires you to redo the entire mapping (everything is configured as QWERTY by default). But it's your only option if you're not running Windows.
Other than that, it's pleasant to type on, smooth and reasonably quiet with the linear switches (red blood).
Another point already mentioned in another comment is that you can't see the caps lock, num lock, etc. indicators because the keys are too high (on the white version, you can guess where they are by the reflection on the keys above).
