This keyboard has ideas, whirlwind switch + split space bar, and the experience of using GK75

Hello everyone, I’m fanfan, I haven’t shared a keyboard with you for a long time, today I will share a small mechanical keyboard with a surprise 75% configuration, with two knobs and three space bars, it is from the little nerd The GK75.

I am no stranger to the little nerd. I have tried the two mechanical keyboards of the little nerd before. They are mainly customized by geeks, and they support driving custom lighting effects and buttons. They are very thoughtful from the appearance design to the workmanship. It is also very sincere, the unique Lite Gasket structure has completely changed the fate of the hull, full of creativity. In the field of mechanical keyboards that are too rolled, the little nerd is undoubtedly rolled to the extreme.

I have paid attention to this mechanical keyboard for a while before, and the official has long publicized his new gameplay: the design of multi-knobs, there are six keys that can support the installation of knobs, and the shafts used by the knobs can also be used as buttons. This kind of shaft has a very secondary name - whirlwind shaft.

Moreover, it supports the design of modifying the split space bar, which can divide our space bar into three, and can customize the key functions. These points are very innovative and make the mechanical keyboard unique.

The accessories in this GK75 package are very rich. In addition to the regular accessories, there is also a large transparent dust cover. In addition, there are always a lot of supplementary keycaps, including replacement keycaps for mac keys, and a positioning board for splitting the space bar. , Knob. As shown below

The one I bought is the industrial titanium gray version. The keyboard shell uses a black design that can slightly reveal the internal structure. The surface treatment uses a matte mold surface treatment, which makes the entire keyboard very tonality.

The shape adopts a design with an inclination angle, which conforms to ergonomics. There are two sections of feet at the bottom, and the angle can be adjusted according to your own needs. The height of the space bar is relatively low. The feeling of being in the air, typing for a long time will not be too tiring.

The keycaps use a combination of multi-color keycaps, the saturation of the keycaps is not high, the overall visual effect is very coordinated, and there are no buttons that are very abrupt. The keycap is made of PBT material, the surface treatment mold biting effect is very delicate, matte matte effect, such a delicate effect can ensure a comfortable touch and a high degree of comfort. Moreover, the PBT material is not easy to oil after long-term use (long-term use, finger sweat and keycap friction for a long time, resulting in a shiny keycap effect)

From the bottom of the keyboard, you can see the reinforcing rib mechanism inside the translucent shell. The orderly design of the reinforcing ribs inexplicably adds a sense of technology and refinement. The interface uses a TYPE-C interface, the wiring adopts a three-way design, and there is a special 2.4G storage slot design, which shows the intention of the design. There are five silicone pads at the bottom, which can increase the friction between the desktop and the keyboard. Although this keyboard is an all-plastic version, it is full of weight and stable on the desktop.

The bottom label hides two toggle switches, a mac/win switch and a mode switch.

One of the highlights of this keyboard is the knob, which can not only be rotated, but also pressed. By default, the knob is located in the upper right corner and is used to adjust the volume. It is very convenient to control the volume during audio and video. The knob uses a CNC molding process, and the surface texture processing should be time-consuming. Anodizing process is used, the surface texture is very good, and the texture can also provide a good feel.

In addition, there are a total of 6 positions on the keyboard where the knobs can be placed. In this way, more buttons can be used with one button, and there are more ways to play. In addition, the cyclone shaft and the conventional mechanical shaft share the same shaft seat and can be replaced with each other.

The switch I bought this time is the glacier red switch of the little nerd, which supports hot swapping. The red switch is a linear switch with a relatively small triggering force and short key travel, which is more suitable for daily text input. The overall adjustment and comfort of the switch is relatively high. With the PBT keycap, the triggering force will not be heavy. You won't feel tired even if you type for a long time.

Based on the unique Lite Gasket structure, the one-piece silicone design at the bottom of the positioning board can provide a certain buffer when receiving an impact, and also play a role in noise reduction to a certain extent. The feel has also been improved. The positioning plate of the keyboard is made of metal. During the typing process, the sound produced by the collision between the keycap shaft and the positioning plate is slightly crisp and there will be no muffled sound. The tuning is quite good, the satellite axis is very stable without any shaking, and the trigger sound is slightly crisper than that of the letter keys.

This keyboard supports three-mode connection, Type-C wired connection/Bluetooth/2.4G connection, and the built-in battery 4000MA can ensure long-term wireless connection. The RGB lighting effect is very smooth. With the driver, you can get more light effects.

The split space bar is also a major feature of this keyboard. I have seen many 40% keyboards with split space bars before. I liked it very much at the time. I have always wanted to try a keyboard with split space bars, but I don’t know if it’s good or not. It's easy to use, and this time I can finally try it out.

A positioning plate that can replace the split space bar and keys of several lengths are presented with the package, which can perfectly replace the space bar. The replacement process is also very simple. Use a key puller to pull out the space bar, remove the lower shaft, and then use a screwdriver to unscrew the set screw. You can find that there is a silicone pad under the screw, which can play a buffer role. The structure of Lite Gasket is applied The most vivid.

After replacing the split space bar, the default three are all space bars, and you can customize the keys on the onboard layer according to your needs and usage habits.

The cool backlight in the mechanical keyboard has been played badly, no matter what the price of the mechanical keyboard is equipped with a backlight, but it is the first time I have seen it with the black keyboard shell, and I can feel a low-key luxury.

The buttons use a two-color injection molding process. In order to ensure that the overall design is not fancy, the buttons do not have a transparent design. With 16.8 million color lighting effects and various animation lighting effects, the visual experience in low-light environments is still amazing.

The driver can be downloaded from the official website customized by Geek. The driver can support high-level gameplay such as button customization, light customization, and macro definition. The built-in lighting library has as many as 168 kinds of lights. Interested friends can study the following.

Macro definitions are widely used in games, and can assist in operations, quick input, etc., which is very convenient. The driver software has a variety of game-related macro definitions built in, which can be used directly.

After using it for a period of time, the biggest feature of this keyboard is the cyclone switch that can change its position by itself and the split space bar that makes the keyboard unique.

The transparent shell design makes the RGB lighting effect faintly visible, and the appearance value is very high under low light conditions. Coupled with the embellishment of the split space bar, it makes people feel very curious.

It supports three-mode connection, and mac/win supports one-key switching, which is very convenient for dual-system users like me. The wireless module uses the Nordic solution, and the GPW in my LD also uses this high-end solution, which can ensure the stability of the wireless connection.

This keyboard has two types of switches: silent switches and ordinary mechanical switches. There are also many types of switches. You can continue to choose the switch according to your needs. As a brand serving customized players, Xiaobu Chong has indeed made great innovations in user experience, whether it is design, workmanship, creativity or user experience, it is full of sincerity, and the price is less than 500 It is also rolled to the end. At the same time, there is also a wired version of the same paragraph

The above is this sharing, I hope it will be helpful to everyone, I am fanfan, a digital enthusiast who likes to collect keyboards, welcome to communicate in the comment area.
