CMKB Profile: Ganss GS and GS-87



Ganss GS-87, old logo

Ganss is a premium brand in China that only uses Cherry switches in its keyboards, unlike many others that have started using Chinese clones. GS is the full-size version, while GS-87 is the TKL version. It has the honor of being the cheapest keyboard available with Cherry MX Clears, right about $90-100 for GS-87 from Aliexpress.
