The optical axis is triggered at a high speed, and the game is one step faster! SKYLOONG GK75 Knob Keyboard Unboxing Evaluation

Hello everyone, I am Nightmare Piaolei~

Years ago, I finally settled the matter of job-hopping, and I am about to end my life separated from my wife and children. I feel relaxed and ready to tidy up my peripherals and play with my computer during the Spring Festival holiday. game.

At present, the keyboard, mouse, monitor and other equipment for the game have been selected. In the past two days, I am going to share the unboxing and evaluation experience with you one by one.

The first thing I bring to you this time is this New optical axis body + multi-function knob The GK75 mechanical keyboard, equipped with hot-swappable shafts, RGB lighting effects, Gasket structure, PBT keycaps and other configurations, has quite comprehensive functions, and the price is really affordable.

The traditional mechanical keyboard switch uses a metal paddle trigger mechanism. Although it has withstood extensive market tests in terms of feel and life, it still has some inherent weaknesses.

For example, when the button is pressed, the paddle in the shaft body will wear out, which will affect the life after long-term use. At the same time, the metal paddle is prone to problems such as poor contact after oxidation, and due to the limitation of the inherent mechanical structure principle, the mechanical shaft body The problem of shaking during pressing is also unavoidable.

The triggering principle of the optical shaft body is completely different. The principle of infrared optical sensing is used to judge the open circuit and path of the shaft body, so as to realize the command of triggering the button.

In this process, the trigger stroke of the optical axis is shorter, and because there is no mechanical vibration, the debounce time is reduced by 10-15 milliseconds compared with the trigger of the mechanical axis, which is one step faster when playing games.

Moreover, because the light-sensing trigger structure realizes electrical isolation, it also has the advantages of no mechanical wear, more stable shaft body, longer life, and no fear of rust. It is especially suitable for gamers like me to choose.

The outer packaging of this skyloong GK75 keyboard is quite cool, and it has a strong gaming style at first glance, which is quite eye-catching.

After opening the case, the first thing you see is the instruction manual and warranty card, and the keyboard body is well wrapped in a translucent bag.

The accessories are unexpectedly generous, and there are two bags of supplementary keycaps, as well as dust covers, power cords, and tools for pulling keys and shafts.

One thing to say, I have handled nearly 10 mechanical keyboards. It is the first time I have seen a keyboard that will give away so many supplementary keycaps. The manufacturer is really generous this time.

Take out the keyboard body, you can see that the skyloong GK75 keyboard uses a 75% arrangement that is not very common. Compared with the common 65% equipped with a small keyboard, the keys in the F area are added. Personally, it is quite convenient. When playing games, there is no need to frequently switch the combination keys, which is much more convenient. At the same time, the 75% arrangement still maintains the advantage of saving desktop space with a small arrangement of keyboards, which is also very friendly.

I started with the color scheme of deep space blue powder. The color contrast design of blue + pink keycaps is very eye-catching and beautiful, especially the pink keycaps used for embellishment. It has the taste of macho fans and is also suitable for girls. It is very popular take.

This keyboard has been independently isolated in the direction key area and function key area, which is very convenient to use, and the detailed design is more careful.

The shell part is made of translucent dark material, and the surface has a matte texture, which is also a recent trend of customized keyboards. Although the shell looks transparent, you can actually feel that the material is quite thick, and the overall structure is very rigid.

It seems that since Zhihui Jun developed the customized keyboard with knobs, there are more and more mechanical keyboards equipped with knobs on the market. To be fair, this design is really convenient to use.

By default, the metal knob of the GK75 can adjust the volume, and can also be customized as other functions through the driver, which is very practical when playing games.

The workmanship of this metal knob is also very delicate. If you look closely, you can see that the anti-slip knurling has been processed meticulously, and the actual use feels very comfortable.

Flip the keyboard to the back, the translucent texture of the shell is more obvious, and three wiring holes on the left, middle and right are designed.

The cable uses the Type-C interface, which is definitely a good point. It can also be used in an emergency when you find a mobile phone cable to plug in when you are on a business trip.

The foot support is a classic two-stage design, which is convenient for users to choose flexibly between different heights.

The keycap of the skyloong GK75 is a GK5 height short ball cap with a larger finger pulp contact area. The material of the keycap is PBT, and the overall texture is matte. Such keycaps can not only maintain the proper friction during long-term use, but also are not easy to wear and oil, and the two-color injection molding process also ensures that the characters will never wear out and have strong durability.

The whole series of keyboards are equipped with the latest optical axis body, which is similar to the mechanical axis body, and it is also divided into different trigger pressure grams.

In order to take into account the needs of daily coding, I chose the lightest Glacier Hornet V3 shaft body, the trigger pressure is between 38-42g, and the pressing force is similar to the famous cherry red shaft. However, since the optical axis does not use the mechanical trigger structure, the stability and smoothness of the axis body during the pressing process are obviously much stronger than the traditional mechanical axis body.

Although the skyloong GK75 uses an optical shaft, it still supports the hot-swappable replacement function of the shaft body, which is convenient for users to replace the shaft body by themselves. It should be noted that the optical axis is different from the traditional mechanical axis. There is only one pin, which cannot be used universally. Don’t buy the wrong one when replacing the axis.

Carefully observe the shaft body of the optical shaft, you can also see that there is only one pin at the bottom, and the connection between the shaft body and the PCB board does not need to be connected by metal pins, which can largely avoid problems such as poor contact of the shaft body .

The big key part uses the Tai Chi satellite shaft customized by Jiadalong. It has been pre-greased before leaving the factory, and it feels smooth and stable, and it is not easy to shake.

Part of the keyboard's knocking feel depends on the shaft body, and the other part depends on the structure of the keyboard chassis. The skyloong GK75 uses its own unique Lite Gasket structure. The keyboard structure is filled with silicone sandwich + sound-absorbing cotton, which can eliminate most of the cavity sound when tapping, and the bottoming feedback feels solid and crisp. Great.

Finally, the skyloong GK75 is a gaming-oriented keyboard, and cool RGB lighting is also indispensable, and various lighting effects can be flexibly set through the driver.

However, since the keycap I chose is an opaque version, it is generally only used as a background light during games. If you often need to use it in a light-off environment, this keyboard also has a color model with a light-transmitting keycap to choose from.

The keyboard market in 2022 can be called a chaotic battle for the king of rolls. Various manufacturers are advancing with the times and actively innovating.

This skyloong GK75 is no exception. The hardware configuration is equipped with a fast-triggered optical axis body, multi-functional metal knob, Gasket flick structure, translucent shell and PBT two-color injection molded ball cap. The more innovative 75% arrangement and bold contrasting color style almost wiped out all the popular elements in the current key circle. Looking back at the selling price of JD.com’s self-operated channel, which is only more than 300 yuan, the price/performance ratio is really very high, and it is very worth buying.
