G.Skill Ripjaws MX780

Overview

Overall I have enjoyed my time with the G.Skill Ripjaws MX780 and it is indeed another good debut peripheral from G.Skill. The mouse looks like a Gamer’s mouse, has all the features a Gamer needs, and more importantly it Games like a Gamers mouse. There’s just a few more things that need tweaking in my opinion, before the G.Skill Ripjaws MX780 gets close to perfection

In the year 2017 (and gosh its almost 2018 already!), you can get gaming mice a dime a dozen in all colors, features, and varieties. G.Skill manages to advance a bit and offers differentiation. The proper 8K2 DPI sensor feels good while gaming. And...

My quibbles with the G.Skill RipJaws MX780 gaming mouse are mostly minor. I'd like it to be a bit heavier or let me attach more weights, and for it to have less flimsy and clacky thumb buttons. Perhaps with beefier thumb buttons, it would have a heftier...

For the price and promise of a good ambidextrous mouse with good features and good performance, it's an exemplary first effort from G.Skill. The MX 780 RGB does have a few issues that tarnish the performance and software usability somewhat, but its...

During my internship, my manager and one of the test engineers laughed at the fact some people still wanted an "everything machine", or a solution to solve all the problems in one package. Rather, I was taught to develop software in a way to only solve...

The G.Skill MX780 is not the best mouse in the world, but for its price it is a great jack of all trades with some of the highest levels of customisation available. It is comfortable, accurate and great to game with over long periods. It does not have...

This is possibly the most feature-ridden keyboard we've ever seen, especially at the hardware level. While it's absent a USB 3 pass-through port, it has practically everything else we could think of, and others that we didn't such as the volume...

I just got done with the G.Skill Ripjaws KM780 review, and I was really impressed with the feature set, especially for the price, so I'm expecting good things from this mouse too! Looks wise, the mouse is kind of sporty, but also industrial and matches...

G.Skill are pretty new to the gaming scene, so it might take some time to build up a reputation. But having played with the G.Skill RIPJAWS MX780 RGB Laser Gaming Mouse for a few days … all I can say it's on my recommended list. It's definitely worth...

In a market dominated by mice for right-handers only, G.Skill's MX780 is a great choice for ambidextrous and left-handed users alike. In fact, because of its customizability, I'd recommend it to everybody. G.Skill's attention to detail when designing...

I spent a couple weeks on the Ripjaws MX780 gaming Mouse to really get the feel for the shape. Long sessions of Battlefield 4 provided the foundation for my review and I can say I am using the MX780 as I work on this review comfortably. Overall I came...
