Gamdias Hermes M3 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Packaging, Accessories, and Documentation

The packaging offers a view of the keyboard to the left, with features pointed out, the ZEUS and RGB logos, and even a bit about what makes a low-profile switch what it is. On the right, we get the name of the keyboard with mentions of the switches, the RGB backlighting, the G-keys, and HERA software.

The longer side we see here shows us two of the backlit profiles for MOBA games. However, mind the notation to the left, where it mentions HERA software is needed to use these RGB LED modes.

The smaller end of the box is kept simple. All we are presented are the ZEUS logo, the Gamdias name, and the "Gaming Art In Motion" tagline.

The second of the longer sides have more of the RGB LED preset options shown. For FPS players out there, here is a pair of options available once HERA software is installed.

The other smaller panel offers the company name and tagline, but this time it is followed with the location, legal jargon, and that it is made in China!

The back of the box is used to display features in ten languages, above the specifications, contents, and requirements. The right is used for an image of the Hermes M3 RGB, while it shows the switch options and offers a QR code to obtain the manual easily.

Most of what we just looked at was printed on a cardboard sleeve, and once removed we could open the box inside of it. Inside of the box, we find the keyboard wrapped in a thin foam bag, and on either side dense foam is used to support it. Once the keyboard is removed, look inside of the dense foam bits, as the rest of the gear is found there!

The 1.5-meter rubberized cable with gold plated connections even comes with a strap to make traveling with the Hermes M3 RGB easier. Gamdias also supplies a key puller, and the bright orange plastic should make it hard to lose this, or easier to find when the time comes to use it.
