The G-Lab Heats Up The Sauce Before Christmas

THE G-LAB is a brand very well known to gamers looking for accessories at affordable prices. The firm has always been able to appeal to modest budgets while offering largely satisfactory quality for daily gaming uses. Today, the company is expanding its catalog with a whole new range of keyboards with a slightly more premium design and capabilities.

These are the KEYZ ELITE 300 and KEYZ ELITE 400, two very special mechanical keyboards. Presented as models “premium accessibles“, they are aimed at both professional uses and gaming, with an emphasis on typing comfort, versatility and durability. Far from the usual marketing tone, these keyboards are distinguished above all by technical choices well identified in the high-end segment, but still rare at these low Price levels.

Creamy at your fingertips

The KEYZ ELITE 300 and 400 are based on a so-called “gasket” structure. This means that they are made of five layers intended to reduce vibration and soften the typing. This type of design, very popular in custom keyboards, allows you to obtain a more subdued sound (the famous its creamy which is a hit on the networks) and a more flexible feeling when typing. Both models are equipped with pre-lubricated linear mechanical switches.

Another notable point is that the keyboards are hot-swap, which means that the switches can be replaced without soldering. This feature opens the door to advanced customization, which is increasingly sought after by users.

The KEYZ ELITE 300 is positioned as the most sober and compact option in the range. It focuses on a discreet design and easy integration into professional environments or minimalist setups, while retaining most of the technical characteristics announced. Priced at 89 euros, it clearly targets users wishing to access premium standards without exceeding a limited budget.

For all uses

In terms of connectivity, THE G-LAB chooses extensive compatibility. The KEYZ ELITE 300 and 400 can be used wired via USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless for low latency, or Bluetooth, making it easy to switch from a PC to a laptop or tablet. Their 4000 mAh battery announces up to 80 hours of autonomy, a figure consistent with current standards for this type of product. The 1000 Hz refresh rate guarantees responsiveness suitable for competitive uses.

The KEYZ ELITE 400, priced at 99 euros, takes the base of the 300 and adds elements more oriented towards comfort and staging. Its RGB backlighting is more extensive, with effects visible on the sides of the keyboard, and a dedicated media wheel allows you to manage volume and playback more quickly.

With this KEYZ ELITE range, THE G-LAB seems to be seeking a balance between price accessibility and adoption of standards long reserved for high-end mechanical keyboards. It remains to be seen in use whether these technical choices translate into an experience that lives up to the promises, particularly over time.
