The Designed by GG Ironclad is a high-end mechanical keyboard that offers the possibility of hot-swapping switches. By replacing the solder with an armature that makes electrical contact, the Ironclad offers the possibility to replace any switch by simply unclipping it and reclipping another one. Not only can you customize your keyboard to your liking, but you can also extend the life of your keyboard indefinitely by replacing only the most heavily used switches.
Not only that, it also has a removable wrist rest and RGB lighting that you can customise to your liking.
Unparalleled comfort
The Designed by GG Ironclad is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Every switch on the keyboard has been lubricated with a lubricating oil to not only improve glide but also provide a smoother tactile feedback. The stabilisers of the large keys have also been lubricated. The space bar with its noisy metallic scraping sound is now a memory of another era. The keys are made of PBT, which makes them more resistant to abrasion. Unlike ABS keys, PBT is chemically inert and does not develop a greasy texture after prolonged contact with the skin.
The lettering of the doublehot keys is thermoformed. The letters on the keys are not just etched into the surface paint, they are formed by a plastic structure, running through the entire shell. This method ensures that the lettering will last over time. With a thickness of 1.4mm instead of the standard 0.8mm, these keys are also much more durable.
Gateron Red Mod switches
The Designed by GG Ironclad is equipped with Gateron Red Mod switches. These are a customised version of the Gateron Red switches. They are factory lubricated and offer superior glide and reduced noise. This makes them the ideal choice for those who want quiet, fatigue-free typing.

Designed by GG Ironclad Doubleshot (Gateron Red) + Wrist rest
It's just perfect... I'm not a first timer, and frankly this is by far the best keyboard I've tried.
I just received the keyboard and I rushed to congratulate the manufacturer... I never post reviews... But this is important! :D
You can clearly order it with your eyes closed. You won't be disappointed...

Nearly perfect, light years ahead of any competition
The short version? You simply won't find better anywhere else.
Not even from the famous ducky keyboards with their beautiful decorated space key.
This keyboard, in spite of its sober appearance, is almost all options, between the dualshot PBT keys (you'll never go back), the hotswappable switches, without forgetting of course the rgb controllable individually for each key.
Is all this great? Surely! But in fact it almost becomes a detail, because you only have to compare it to any other high-end keyboard with a similar technical sheet to realise that there is really no comparison, either in terms of sound or feel.
I bought one, then finally had to buy a second one for work.
The only small reproach I could make is the wrist rest which is not fixed to the keyboard.
