Buy a keyboard and get a keycap? The most suitable SKYLOONG GK75 for playing games is here

Recently, I have been looking for a keyboard for playing games, and then I fell in love with SKYLOONG’s GK75. I flick Gasket, fast. Optical axis V3, RGB music rhythm, and CNC metal knobs. To put it bluntly, I have never used them before. Out of curiosity and early adopters, I placed an order for this new SKYLOONG GK75 in XD. I chose deep space pink blue, and the shaft is Kuaiyin V3.

From the packaging point of view, SKYLOONGGK75 can be said to be very cool, with a circle of GK75 SKYLOONG around the big purple tone, with GK75 Jing·Youth printed in the middle, and a drawing of 75% arrangement on it, as well as a schematic diagram of the shaft.

When you open the package, you can see the key instructions, after-sales warranty card, and contact information. Below it is the keyboard wrapped in matte plastic.

Take out the keyboard and you can see that there is a transparent dust cover on the keyboard. Other accessories include a two-in-one shaft puller and key puller, and a USB TO Type-C cable. This is a wired keyboard. , but the separation of the keys and wires can be stored higher. The wire is made of braided wire, which is soft and has a certain hardness, and the texture is good.

In addition, there are a lot of supplementary keycaps as a gift. All the keycaps except the 75 key are given as supplementary keycaps. If you really buy a keyboard, you will get a keycap. If you change all the keycaps to a 104-key or 108-key one The keyboards can be matched in a uniform color, which is one of the charms of GK75, and they are all ball caps, which look very good.

The classic 75% layout, 80 buttons plus knobs, retains the F area and direction keys, and removes the small keyboard and some uncommon buttons. Compared with the 87-key layout, the length is reduced by about 36mm. That's a lot of space. Another point is the addition of a multi-function knob.

The knob is made of CNC metal, and it is arranged in the upper right corner of the keyboard. It feels good to the touch. The sides are covered with non-slip textures, and the top surface has a matte texture. The most important thing is that the function of the knob is not single. You can change the function of the knob through the driver. Normally, it is volume adjustment. You can also define it as your own desired function. This needs to be used with SKYLOONG’s own driver software. However, the knob operation is really fresh and highly playable.

The keycaps are made of PBT contrasting two-color keycaps. The ball caps of GK5 have different keyboard heights from top to bottom, which is more ergonomic. The font on the keycap is much larger than the traditional font, especially the letter area. , big and round, with the design of the ball cap, the overall feeling is cute and cute. The shell of the keyboard is made of ABS black transparent matte material, which can be slightly transparent and very beautiful.

The structure design of the keyboard is also SKYLOONG's own new patent, Lite Gasket flick structure, customized feel, specially designed for games. From top to home, there are keycaps, shaft body, upper cover, positioning plate, Lite Gasket integrated cushion, which is composed of silicone sandwich and pad under the shaft, and PCBA main board, bottom case sound-absorbing cotton and lower cover. Adding a 0.2mm under-axle pad can effectively reduce the bottoming impact of the shaft body, and the same is true in terms of user experience.

There are some small detailed design combination keys on the keycaps. For example, in addition to the knob, the volume adjustment key also adds an FN combination key, which is arranged among F9-F12, and is close to the FN key, so that the volume can be adjusted with one hand. Much more reasonable than some on the F1-F4 keys. Supports Mac and Win systems, and has combination keys for quick switching, and adds side engravings for Mac keys on Ctrl, Win, and Alt, which is very friendly for dual repair players. There are also brightness adjustment and multitasking in the F1-F4 area Wait for the operation of the shortcut key, very detailed.

Viewed from the bottom of the keyboard, it is also black through the bottom case, and the Type-C interface can be vaguely seen. There are 5 non-slip feet around the bottom case, two-stage height-adjustable feet, the product model and serial number information in the middle, and the Type-C interface near the right foot, because it is a wired connection, wiring is necessary, the top of the keyboard 3 outlets are reserved, and you can choose different directions for outlets according to your needs.

The axis uses the self-developed and customized optical axis V3.0. There are three options: Glacier Quicksilver V3, Duan Green Tea V3, and Glacier Bumblebee V3. Green tea is a segment axis, and Kuaiyin and Bumblebee are linear axes. , I chose the Glacier Quicksilver V3, with a trigger stroke of 1.2±0.2 and a trigger pressure of 48-52gf. The advantage of this axis body is that there is no mechanical vibration, there is a 10-15ms faster debounce time, and the trigger is very fast, so it is very suitable for playing games. Compared with other switches, it is more stable, not loose, less shaking, electromechanical separation, optical trigger, born for games.

The satellite shaft design used by the large key, the transparent blue glacier of the shaft shell, the silver shaft body looks very good-looking, and the large key is very smooth, fast and comfortable to press. Moreover, the switch is a hot-swappable switch, which only supports mutual replacement between optical switches, and does not support ordinary mechanical switches. Needless to say, the benefits of hot-swapping are self-replacing the switch body, or DIY the switch body layout of different keys, so that the entire keyboard can have a different feel.

If you want to realize custom buttons or lights, you need to use it with driver software, click to download. The layout of the interface is very clear. On the top is the function setting, lighting effect library and macro management. If you want to customize the buttons, you can still deal with it in the function setting. Below is the layout of the keyboard, which is clear and clear. Below is the setting of each button. There are standard layer, onboard layer win, onboard layer mac, onboard 3 and driver layer, all of which can be set.

For example, I set F6 to quickly open my computer. After saving and applying, pressing F6 will pop up my computer, which is very convenient. There is also a shortcut window for lighting effects and macro settings on the right, where you can see color selection and lighting effect selection. There are some preset macro settings in the macro settings, such as LOL, qw two-up, violent three-up, etc., all of which can be played of.

For example, the customization of the knob, which originally defaulted to volume increase and decrease and mute, can be changed to keyboard light brightness increase and decrease and switch, which is more straightforward and quite fun.

▲Button lighting effect

▲Dancing to music

▲ solid color change

I mainly play FPS games, so the keyboard feedback is still very important. I don’t like the paragraph switch very much, it’s quite noisy, but the Glacier Silver Switch V3 gives me the feeling that it’s between the black switch and the red switch, and the trigger is very fast. It is front, back is back, one touch, without any delay. And the life of the shaft body is longer in the case of optical triggering. In the case of full-key without punching, pressing a few more buttons will not cause any conflicts or restrictions, and the combination of macros is really a powerful game tool.

SKYLOONG GK75 has a very clear positioning as a new product. 75% of the configurations, 80 buttons and knobs are enough to meet most scenarios, and the space saved for the mouse position on the right is not small. The spare parts can make up a 100% keycap. The price in the early 300s is very comfortable and delicious. The use experience of the shaft body is excellent, very comfortable, the experience of playing games is very good, the trigger and feedback are sensitive, and the DIY function of the driver software is added. , A small keypad can play a lot of tricks.
