Overview

Victory is at hand

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.

Customisable

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.

Unrivalled build quality

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

Red Blood switches benefit from an optimised construction. They use high-quality plastic from Germany's BASF, and 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.

    It's good and it's effective

    Initially I was looking for a cheap keyboard in the region of twenty euros. An ldlc shop was open. And this shop had a complete display of all types of keyboard (gamer and classic). After carefully testing each of the keyboards in the shop, it became clear that only one of them was as good as you'd expect from a keyboard in 2024. In short, it was love at first sight for this ironclad v3 red blood.
    The keyboard case is made entirely of plastic, but there's not a single solidity flaw, no creaking, nothing. The various soundproofing elements (gasket mount, tape mod, soundproofing foam and pre-lubricated switch) help to reduce vibrations and hence switch noise. As for the red blood switches, they are linear, offering an even, unobtrusive keystroke while providing a pleasant resistance under the fingers. As for the finish, the keyboard is well finished but ultra-sober, with no frills like a big sound wheel, screen or brushed aluminium plate. In short, it's basic, but well executed. Before I finish my review, a quick point about the stabilisers: they're not bad, but they could do with some improvement. As they stand, they have a very slight wobble, particularly on the space key.
    So I left the shop not with a cheap keyboard, but with the one that would give me the most satisfaction. Next time I'll know, the adage/slogan 'to try it is to adopt it', it works rather well?
    A quick word about its installation: like many keyboards in the world of custom keyboards, this one uses QMK and VIA Open Source firmware. This means that you can manage your keyboard without having to install any software and that you can customise your layout as you see fit.
    The final word: I love this keyboard?

    Gaming brands in the doldrums. Fatality, Flawless Victory for Designed by GG - 1 month review

    As the former owner of a Logitech G910 orion spectrum that I adored and killed with a beer accident, I decided on a G915. Big mistake. And here I am today at Designed by GG.
    After 1 month of use, I took out my G915 for testing, and what a horror! Straight back to the ironclad.

    For
    -Value for money
    -The keyboard is a pleasure to use.
    -The software works
    The after-sales service is brilliant
    -The keyboard is designed to be easy to repair and environmentally friendly. Switch hotswap, detachable usb-c cable, availability of spare parts and support from Designed by GG to dismantle/reassemble the keyboard as well as from the discord community. In short, in the majority of cases, you'll have enough to repair rather than have to pay again.
    I love dedicated macro keys, and this keyboard has 4 of them, with the option of changing the keycaps with third-party manufacturers. It's just a shame that they're in the top right-hand corner, which isn't great for FFXIV.

    Cons
    -I find the RGB beautiful but the colours, although very pretty, lack contrast. For example, I find that the blue is quite pale and doesn't contrast enough with the white.
    -Chipotage Can't wait for the wireless version!
    -It's a shame you can't change your profile using a keyboard shortcut with the Fn key. These don't change automatically with the applications/games.
    -Nitpicking I tried the black version in shop and found the keys less legible than on the white version without RGB.
    -Lack of information on the brand, I can't find any reports on use after 1 year, but more importantly, 2 years (i.e. after the warranty). No news, good news? I saw a Champion Bane owner encounter LED problems on the discord after two years, after the warranty. Reassuringly, the after-sales service seems to me to have reacted correctly.

    Well done Designed by GG, keep up the good work!

    See you in 6 months for the upgrade

    I recommend it

    a very good quality keyboard, with a thumbwheel to the left of the keyboard to turn the sound up or down.
    Two negative points that are personal:
    -It's a shame that there aren't direct buttons for changing the music instead of the volume buttons above the pad.
    - That the keyboard is not magnetised with the wrist rest (which is sold separately).

    5/5

    Just incredible

    I sincerely believe that it destroys most of the major consumer brands in terms of manufacturing quality. You can feel that the product is extremely robust, not to mention the insane responsiveness.

    Incredible

    I went to LDLC Montévrain to buy a Steelseries keyboard to replace my Corsair K70 keyboard as I had also recently bought a Steelseries Rival 3 mouse (excellent by the way).
    The young salesman I asked for advice recommended this keyboard, and I have to say he was right!
    My god, the construction exudes quality, the keyboard is really heavy but compact, the mechanical keys are lubricated and clearly make less noise than those on my Corsair - there's no contest! And the design - no frills, it's sober, not like the usual immaculate white gaming keyboards, but once plugged in the LED lighting is sublime and the effects are really beautiful.
    Thanks to the salesperson for pointing me in the direction of this keyboard, explaining that it's sold at the price of a good mechanical keyboard but with the quality of a top-of-the-range keyboard, and I have to say yes, it's clear that I feel like I'm owning a top-of-the-range keyboard. I would recommend it 100% as the value for money is excellent and I would not hesitate to buy a GG keyboard again!
