Digital Momentum Chapter 122: A Mechanical Keyboard Skyloong GK75 Glacier Optical Axis RGB Knob Edition Designed for Gaming

Since the last time I bought a Skyloong GK75 three-mode mechanical keyboard, which is blessed with a whirlwind shaft, it feels very good. It is indeed a magic tool for fishing. When I am free, I will fill up the knobs. It is all right. This time I started A GK75 glacier optical axis RGB knob version (Bumblebee V3) from his family.

The light conduction mechanical switch (abbreviated as optical axis) uses optical principles and optical coupling technology, that is, uses light-emitting elements (infrared light-emitting diodes), light-receiving elements (phototransistors, photoelectric integrated circuits) and other light elements for light sensing. The triggering principle of the optical axis is to judge the resistance of different resistances formed by the light induction to control the switch. When the handle is not pressed down to the OP value, because the grating of the handle blocks the light path between the infrared light-emitting tube and the infrared switch tube, Therefore, the infrared switch tube will have no light and make the resistance infinitely large, which is equivalent to an open circuit. And when the handle is pressed down to the OP value, the grating of the handle leaves the optical path between the infrared light-emitting tube and the infrared switch tube, so that the infrared switch tube has enough light again, so the resistance value becomes smaller and equal to the path, and the optical axis passes through the light path. The resistance value of the path is used to judge the open circuit and the path, so as to control the switch.

Advantages of optical axis: Improve the problem of easy wear, improve the problem of double-click or failure caused by metal oxidation, improve the life of the button click, improve the signal output waveform, and improve the signal delay problem.

This time, Skyloong's self-developed customized optical axis V3.0 adopts the same structure and process as the customized mechanical axis: factory self-lubrication, low vibration of the axis core, crisp bottoming, feel and sound close to the customized mechanical axis .

This time, Skyloong’s self-developed customized optical axis has 1 type of paragraph axis body (Glacier Optical axis Green Tea V3) and 2 types of linear axis bodies (Glacier Optical axis Quicksilver V3, Glacier Optical axis Bumblebee V3), a total of three new axes body.

The packaging still continues the simple design of its own product packaging. The front of the packaging uses line drawings of the product and Skyloong's Logo, and the back of the packaging is some certification marks.

On the side of the package are the parameters of this keyboard:

● Model: GK75 Glacier Optical Axis RGB Knob Version

● Keycaps: GK5 height, space blue powder

● Shaft: Hornet V3

● Bottom shell: black through

Family portrait: GK75 Youth Edition Mechanical Keyboard ×1, Dust Cover ×1, Type-C Data Cable ×1, 2-in-1 Key Puller/Axis Device ×1, Operating Instructions ×1, Additional Keycaps.

This time I bought the Skyloong GK75 glacier optical axis RGB knob version (Bumblebee V3). The keyboard adopts the classic 75% arrangement layout (80 keys + function knob). In addition to the main key area, the F key area, function keys and Arrow keys, compared with 80% of the layout, only retains the 3 most commonly used function keys, which saves more space and frees up more room for the mouse to move. Compared with 65%, it makes up for the lack of F key area. The application scenarios are also more abundant. This time, the GK75 adopts a separated layout, and the relatively independent direction key design reduces the risk of accidental touch.

The keyboard uses 5 non-slip foot pads and two-stage foot supports. Three different keyboard heights are suitable for different environments and users' habits, and the keyboard is placed firmly without sliding.

Continuing the 3-way outlet of the Skyloong GK75 three-mode mechanical keyboard, the cables can be routed in three directions, fully meeting the needs of desktop routing. A cable slot is also designed to prevent the wire from falling off and affecting the use.

The keyboard adopts two-color injection molding PBT keycaps, which are wear-resistant and non-greasy, with a fine and matte texture, which has a better tactile experience. GK5 height ball caps, some keycaps have also added side-engraved characters, which clearly tells friends that this Extra features for keycaps.

The switch body of the conventional key position adopts the glacier optical axis Bumblebee V3, while the axis body of the large key position adopts the glacier optical axis Kuaiyin V3 and Jiadalong customized fine-tuning fat-run Taiji satellite axis.

The optical axis also supports hot-swapping, only supports compatible optical axis hot-swapping, does not support ordinary mechanical axes with pins, remember.

The layout of the conventional switch with the light bumblebee optical switch and the combination switch of the fast silver optical switch on the large keypad is faster and lighter, and is more suitable for female gamers.

Also adopted Skyloong's own black technology Lite Gasket Flick Edition , I will not disassemble this one. Skyloong is committed to optimizing the mass production of Gasket, and has researched and mass-produced the flick version of the Gasket that is integrated with the plane. The Lite Gasket flick version uses flexible connections, the plane is fixed as a whole, and the keyboard is supported around and in the middle Sufficient, the overall structure is more stable. While taking into account the feel, the combination of the flick version Gasket and the bottom cotton eliminates the cavity sound and noise, and the keyboard as a whole presents a soft and soft touch and a pleasant percussion sound.

Use the driver software to set the alternative function of the knob (the default is the volume adjustment and mute function), freely set any combination of keys, RGB lighting effects, etc.... only unexpected, nothing impossible.

Skyloong GK75 Youth Edition is a mechanical keyboard specially designed for games, with 75% keyboard layout, Lite Gasket structure, programmable knobs, self-developed glacier optical axis, full key no punch, RGB lighting effects, BPT keycaps, and The blessing of the driver software, the price is also very good, it is a keyboard worth buying.
