The Designed by GG Berserker is a gasket-mounted mechanical keyboard, meaning that the centreplate is mounted on a suspension system to soften the keystrokes. It also features hot-swappable switches.
Modular high-end gaming keyboard - TKL format - mechanical switches (Red Blood switches) - doublehot keys - RGB backlighting - AZERTY, French

The Designed by GG Berserker is a high-end mechanical keyboard offering an enhanced typing experience. Using original lubricated switches to eliminate resonance, it also features a gasket mount construction, offering flexibility when typing. You can also customise it to extend its life almost indefinitely, as the switches are interchangeable. The solder has been replaced by an armature to ensure electrical contact.
The Designed by GG Berserker offers simple, high-performance original firmware, enabling you to customise the keyboard's backlighting, reassign keys and create macros simply with a dedicated utility. It's the ideal solution for users looking for simplicity. For demanding users, it offers compatibility with the Open Source QMK firmware (Fork SonixQMK), giving you the option of customising all the keyboard's functions. You can create shortcuts on several layers, modify the scroll wheel functions and, in general, completely customise the keyboard's behaviour. The bootloader on a protected partition is directly accessible via a button under the space bar, so you can test the firmware you compile yourself with peace of mind.
If you install faulty firmware, you can force the keyboard to restart in bootloader mode, and reinstall a stable iteration. There's also a debugging interface, so you can plug in an ST-Link and debug any new features you've developed.
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.
Red Blood switches benefit from an optimised construction. Using high-quality plastic from Germany's BASF, they are gently machine-lubricated with a PFPE-based grease. The central part, the stem, is factory-polished for virtually frictionless glide.
They're ideal for people who want silence and fatigue-free gripping.

The hotswap is a great feature.
A really good keyboard!
Benefits :

Real backlighting
The minuses :
Not versatile

Too much pressure on the buttons.
Too "high", not at all ergonomic in all settings.
Typing is hell.
100% gaming destination and 0% versatility.
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!
