A Spain launch with a straightforward size choice
The G-Lab has announced the KEYZ ELITE 300 GRG and 400 WG for Spain, with recommended prices of €89.99 and €99.99. These are Spanish-market prices, not US pricing. The launch materials list a compact 75% layout with 83 keys for the 300, and a 96% layout with 98 keys and a number pad for the 400.
The €10 difference mainly asks how often that number pad earns its space. Frequent spreadsheet work provides a clear reason to keep it. If it goes unused, the smaller keyboard leaves more room beside it for a mouse. The company lists its own store and Amazon Spain as sales channels for this announcement.
Replaceable switches, without a soldering iron
Both models use pre-lubricated linear mechanical switches. Linear means there is no deliberate tactile bump during the press, while lubrication is intended to reduce friction. Hot-swappable switches can be removed and replaced with compatible alternatives without soldering, whether to change the feel or replace a faulty switch.
The manufacturer’s product information describes a five-layer gasket structure that cushions the internal plate to reduce vibration. Claims about a smoother or quieter typing experience remain the manufacturer’s claims. We have not tested either keyboard and cannot yet judge their sound or key stability.
These are conventional mechanical keyboards, not magnetic models. Our explanation of Hall effect versus mechanical keyboards covers why replacing a switch is different from adjusting its actuation point in software.
Three ways to connect do not mean identical performance
A 2.4 GHz wireless receiver, Bluetooth and wired USB-C provide different ways to use either keyboard. You could keep the receiver with a gaming PC and use Bluetooth for another device, then connect a cable while charging. That flexibility does not establish equal performance across all three modes.
The advertised 1,000 Hz polling rate describes a communication interval of one millisecond in a supported mode. It is not an end-to-end measurement from pressing a key to seeing a response on screen. The same distinction applies in our mouse polling-rate guide, and we would not turn this specification into a tested keyboard latency claim.
Check the exact variant before ordering
Battery-life information for the 300 currently conflicts. The Spanish press release advertises up to 200 hours, while the store lists up to 80 without lighting and 20 with it. We do not have clarification that would reconcile those figures, such as different conditions or variants, so the 200-hour claim should not drive a purchase.
Keyboard layout also needs attention. Official photos show French AZERTY units, and a Spanish-language storefront does not by itself confirm a Spanish key layout. The size decision is straightforward, but buyers should verify the exact product reference and physical layout before placing an order.
