Nothing negative! I was reading nothing but good things about this keyboard before I bought it. Getting it for myself only confirmed what I'd read.
For the record: I've just got a Ducky One 3 Full Size, which I thought was already very good (although a bit expensive, more so than the Berserker) with Cherry MX Silent Red, but which I wanted to change to a TKL format (without numeric keypad, for the uninitiated).
Well ... The Red Blood switches are even quieter than my Silent Red (thanks to the factory lubrication, the native tape mode and the native silicon block).
What's more, the backlighting is, in my opinion, better on the Berserker. The keys are 'really' backlit (the software is intuitive, albeit simplistic, and everything can be done using the Fn + arrow keys), whereas my old keyboard was content with backlighting 'from underneath', so the characters didn't stand out very much.
A little plus: the left-side sound management wheel (whose use can be changed via the software!). As someone who regularly changes the sound on my PC (several audio sources depending on the time of day), this is a real treat. The wheel is notched and seems solid, so you can feel when you're 'passing' a level, and it saves you the 'Multimedia' keys of a full-size keyboard (but beware, the wheel doesn't allow you to mute 'at once', so you have to go to 0 yourself if you want to mute artificially via the wheel).
I could go on for a long time, but I'll keep it short (after forcing you to read this pamphlet): I think the keyboard is perfect for wired use.
TL;DR (yes, I'm thinking of you lazy readers who only want the conclusion):
- A sober, neutral, elegant design.
- Ultra quiet
- Top-notch backlighting (adjustable colour AND intensity!)
- Rustic but practical software, not compulsory
- Ultra-permissive mapping
I bought this keyboard because mine had a space key that worked 1 time out of 5. So I looked at this model on the advice of a friend who had already bought it. After trying it out at home and at the Bayonne shop, I fell in love with it. The typing feel is excellent and the difference in noise between a factory-lubricated keyboard and a non-lubricated keyboard is just enormous! I'm really pleased with this purchase and the price is justifiable and honest. Great value for money!
Really top quality, very well finished product, incredible feel of the keys, simple, effective software. In short, this keyboard has no rivals in terms of value for money. Go for it!
I chose this keyboard for its simple design, but also for its functionality, and I made the right choice. The fact that the switches are lubricated makes the keyboard more professional. The switches are very good, and so are the PBT keys! In short, I recommend it!
The keyboard is almost completely silent, which is exactly what I was looking for with this keyboard! The only problem I have with this keyboard is that I tend to press the space bar without paying attention, which is annoying in games, but you have to get used to it!
Why should you want to buy the biggest brands at twice the price when designed by gg is giving the biggest names a lesson with this keyboard, which is simply incredible and sublime... buy it with your eyes closed.
After testing several keyboards from well-known brands such as Cherry, Razer, Logitech, Drevo and Ducky, I recently acquired the Berserker keyboard. After a few weeks of use, I'm convinced to say that it's the best keyboard I've ever owned.
I love the sound of the keys, they sound exceptional for a standard product. Having modified keyboards in the past, I can attest to the superior quality of the Berserker, especially with the distinctive and pleasing pebble-like sound of the keys.
As for the keycaps, although the original ones aren't of the highest quality, they're still considerably thicker than those I've experienced on other mechanical keyboards. This thickness helps to improve both the sound and the feel of the keystrokes. The linear switches offer a pleasant experience, although they are a little more resistant than I'm used to. However, for the average user, they should feel standard.
Another appreciable aspect of the Berserker is its weight, which gives it excellent stability on the desk. What's more, its TKL format was exactly what I was looking for, having tried the 60% and 100% formats without success.
The additional features, such as the ability to change switches without soldering (hotswap) and Christophe's active presence on his discord to answer questions, are significant bonuses.
To sum up, I'm completely satisfied with my purchase of the Berserker. I think the value for money is exceptional, especially for a keyboard with PBT keys, a gasket mount structure, pre-lubricated switches (Red Blood and Brown Raccoon), individually controllable RGB backlighting and NKRO anti-ghosting capabilities. A well thought-out, high-performance mechanical keyboard for demanding users.
I've had quite a few mechanical keyboards with different types and ranges of switches. This one clearly beats all the others I've had, even the top-of-the-range ones.
We're clearly on another level.
After all, it won't make you play better or be more reactive... but it's a comfort when you're typing and also a comfort for your ears. Red Blood switches are much quieter than Cherry Red (for example). And as the description says, they're hotswappable (so you can take them apart without unsoldering them) and lubricated as standard.
For me, that's a big +1.
I was looking for a comfortable, affordable keyboard, and I found what I was looking for with this one. It's great fun to use, whether for gaming or any other activity, and the app you download is simple but effective, so there's nothing to complain about.
Not long ago my Ducky One keyboard started to go wrong; a key that didn't work, the lights on the keys gradually going out (perhaps due to the occasional coffee droppings). I was afraid of getting into a no-name brand with this keyboard and initially I was looking at Corsair, which to my knowledge is a real guarantee of quality whatever the product. Finally, after reading the reviews on this one, I decided to take the risk, with the guarantee behind it I can always send it back within 14 days....
A very pleasant surprise; the keyboard is comfortable to the touch and the keys are really quiet. The build really inspires quality, it's heavy and sturdy. It remains to be seen how long the keys and LEDs will last... I hope they will.
In the absence of any feedback on durability, for the moment it's really perfect. I think I paid around 100 euros for my Ducky (?). There's a clear difference in quality with this one, well over 40 euros in my opinion.
this keyboard is simply extraordinary it's one of the best mechanical keyboards i've tested it's my 3rd mechanical keyboard and it's far from being the best of all very good sound and extremely pleasant to the touch.
Quite frankly, there's no photo, you've got a French-designed keyboard with a quality equal to that of the big brands for the price of a mainstream mid-range keyboard (which suggests that they don't make any money). The switches are lubricated like never before, so you don't have to spend 4 hours degreasing and then lubing your switches. The keyboard is robust and really sober. The RGB is infinitely customisable key by key, with unlimited effects thanks to the built-in software. The best thing about it is the proximity with the designer, who responds very quickly on his Discord and on Facebook. Frankly, it's an excellent keyboard, so go for it with your eyes closed!
I've tested and owned a lot of mechanical keyboards over the years.
I humbly believe I've owned every brand, from the lesser-known to the most famous.
Wired and wireless, discreet and noisy, comfortable and stiff.
Filco, Das Keyboard, Logitech, Zowie, and so many others... I generally loved them.
Well, with hindsight and years of comparison, I can say, without taking too many risks or sounding too peremptory, that this BERZERKER RED BLOOD GG is the best.
Absolute typing comfort, discretion but a pleasant sensation of hitting the keys with a certain form of class and elegance, it's all there.
The stroke is perfect!
Look no further, you've found perfection, and as the Clubic article that reviews this gem says, "there's less good, but it's more expensive" (I'm quoting from memory).
Finally, it weighs an ass (a guarantee of quality) and the software that lets you adjust its lighting is as practical as it is precise.
I've had lots of mechanical keyboards.
None of them can match this one. It's the best value for money.
Take a look at a few tests on the Internet to see for yourself ;)
Comfort, typing feel, silence, materials...
10/10.
A keyboard with a very sober design and an exceptional finish (much better than that of some top brand keyboards). You can see this as soon as you take it out of the box thanks to its weight, but also thanks to other details that may seem ridiculous to some, but which speak volumes about the quality of the product, for example: the assembly of the keyboard using brass screws, but also with its PBT keys, its removable and changeable switches, etc, etc....
Typing comfort is extraordinary, there's nothing to complain about here, the touch is super soft, and the sound of the keyboard is magical. To be totally honest, I've had several keyboards from well-known 'top-of-the-range' brands, such as the Logitech G915, the Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro and the Steelseries Apex Pro TKL. In my opinion, these three keyboards are no match for the Berserker by Design By GG.
The big selling point of this keyboard is its price: €140. Suffice to say that the Berserker crushes the competition in every way. Cheaper than many others, but with a huge amount of quality to boot.
In short, if you're looking for an elegant, sober keyboard with excellent typing quality, 'satisfactory' sound, rgb that's very well managed by the software, with effects to suit all tastes, and above all a keyboard with an unlimited lifespan if you're careful (because yes, you can also change the switches, which isn't the case with most keyboards at this price), then this is the keyboard for you. So, of course, I'd recommend it at 200%.
What's more, it's a French brand, so don't hesitate to support it!
A big thank you to LDLC Caen - Hérouville Saint Clair for their warm welcome and a big GG to Designed By GG ;)
Hello everyone,
It all started because I wanted to change my Logitech G15.
Naturally, at first I wanted to go for the Logitech G915, then I widened my selection and gradually moved towards mechanical keyboards (Nuphy, mountain everest....).
Then when I went to LDLC I stumbled across the Design by GG BERSERKER and it immediately met all my criteria:
- Quality mechanical keyboard weighing in at 1.3kg on the scales
- RGB with key letters that let light through
- PBT Double Shot + Azerty!
- TKL format
- Quiet and excellent typing quality
- Recent French brand
- Only 139 euro
It is rare that I take the time to leave a comment, I recommend !!!!!
After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to go ahead with the purchase. I currently own several keyboards from major brands (in the 200€ range) and this one (the cheapest) is in no way inferior to the others. On the contrary, it's even more comfortable to use (teleworking + gaming). It's a real pleasure as soon as you start tapping the keys.
Don't hesitate if you're looking for unrivalled typing comfort.
The Mods are very well made (key lubrication / space bar with 'dampers' / insulating plate to avoid metallic noises).
One last word: EXCELLENT
