Dry Goods Sharing Chapter 103: If you are getting started with customized keyboards, you can try this wave of activity

It was also the first time I came into contact with Gasket when the Lite Gasket structure keyboard was first launched in 21 years.

The picture below is the entry-pit style of the custom-made keyboard in China, which is still on sale. It is the first time to use a keyboard with a silicone pad inside, and the typing experience is really cool.

Look at the photos taken with the black card at that time, the photos taken at that time were really immature.

Around 21 years ago, domestic keyboards began to roll back, from domestic shafts, various configurations, Gasket structure, knobs, aluminum lumps, etc. After two years of development, it seems to have calmed down in the past six months. No new designs have been launched, but The brand flagship keyboards in front of you are generally a collection of the above elements. In fact, the feel is already very good. The main thing is to look at the shape and brand. The keycap shape and radian, etc., are also the original intention of customizing the keyboard, which is to make a keyboard that suits you.

Customized keyboards refer to DIY keyboards, while customized style keyboards refer to mass-produced and sold keyboards that combine the advantages and strengths of customization. Although mass-produced, various axes can be selected, such as shells. , PCB board and other accessories (kits) in the keyboard are all matched, so that players can experience the feel of a customized keyboard at a low price.

The little nerd is currently engaged in the activities of the Crazy Kit Festival, and the activity is not bad. If you are interested, you can start here.

My kit is his GK75 kit. In fact, there is no shaft body and key cap. In order to make it easier for novice players to get started, he has already installed it for you. Just install a key shaft and key cap by yourself.

The keyboard shell is translucent, and the three-mode keyboard is suitable for players with obsessive-compulsive disorder like me who don’t like wired desktops. The wireless receiver of the GK75 is hidden inside the back, and the Type-C cable also runs from here, so you can’t see the end of the cable. , The disadvantage is that some wires are too thick to be inserted.

The cable of GK75 can come out from three positions.

Two sections of feet meet the requirements of players' heights. The feet are really important. The keyboard I am using now has no feet. The other feel is perfect, but there is no feet. It is too annoying.

There are a total of six positions for the knob design, and the hot-swappable base that is common to ordinary shafts. In fact, the knob has only one volume control. It is useless for daily use. If you do professional design, the knob is useful.

The concept of Lite Gasket is not loud enough. In fact, its small design is quite good, such as the silicone pad design at the four corners of the key shaft. Although there is no technological content, it can reduce the sound of the shaft hitting the PCB. The entire keyboard feels more uniform.

The matte keyboard feels very good, but I don’t know if it will become oily after a long time of use. The color matching of black and gold positioning board is also very good.

I brought 8 satellite shafts randomly, and replaced them with small spaces. In fact, only 5 are needed. If they are broken, they can be replaced. His satellite shafts are all oiled and thick, which also avoids the worries of amateur players.

In response to the strange needs of customized keyboard players, GK75 also provides a three-space key module separately. Although three spaces are useless, you can set the macro by yourself.

Remove the original single space positioning board, there are four hot-swappable shaft bases on the PCB, most people may think it is useless, but this is also a little sincerity of the little nerd.

The satellite shaft is also easy to install, which is an important guarantee for the feel of the large keys.

The chocolate V2 rose switch is an improvement of cherry red, with a similar texture, but the front part is harder, so it is not easy to touch it by mistake when you put your finger on the button.

The fully transparent keycap can let the RGB light through better, increasing the effect of the light.

This is the case after the kit is installed, the shafts are neatly arranged on the kit.

It is worth mentioning that the knob of his family uses its own patent, called the whirlwind shaft, which can be pressed and twisted.

The GK75 large keys feel pretty good, which may have something to do with the amount of oil.

This is the effect of installing all the keycaps. The keyboard as a whole is black, blue, and pink. These three colors do not match at first glance, but they are actually quite harmonious, especially the individual pink keys, which add beauty to the overall color. Of course you If you don't like pink, you can change it to blue.

The workmanship is really good, not like a keyboard at this price.

The feeling of three spaces is to shorten the length of the space and improve the consistency of thumb tapping.

The metal knob is also well made, and it is very convenient to adjust the volume.

Match it with GPW2, it is very harmonious.

GK75 may be one of the keyboards with the highest appearance value for Xiaodu, but this is too subjective and varies from person to person, but all of his kit festivals participate in the event.

This little plant goes especially well with the keyboard.

In addition to some basic functions, the small bug GK75 has several advantages:

1. Full drive function, Those who have used the little nerd must have a fresh memory of his driver program, which is easy to use and powerful;

2. Many small designs , such as the four-corner silicone pad under the key shaft, the hurricane shaft of the knob, etc.;

3. The price is right , the price of the small bug keyboard itself is not expensive, just in time for this event, the kit is more favorable, you can assemble a customized keyboard according to your favorite style.
