Would you like such a customized keyboard? Small nerd GK75 mechanical keyboard sharing

Recently, it seems that I have touched a lot of keyboards. Among them, customized keyboards have sprung up because of higher configuration and better playability, such as customized aluminum Tuotuo shells, various original kits, and even many keyboards now. The customized switch body also began to be distributed. After being obsessed with customized keyboards, I realized that the distance between people is too large. I wanted to make a keyboard that is completely my own from the beginning to the end. Of course, When I said this, I knew that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel... After looking at various materials, I feel that the modeling and programming things I learned before are too childish... Let's take a look at b The up owner on the site made it, he is still a college student...I can't even understand those open source codes, it's too much of a blow, plus I'm getting older, it seems that I'm less enthusiastic, or make the customization easier.

For example, I met a customized keyboard called Xiaodu. After contacting it, I found that the kit is very good. Various shaft changes and keycap changes are basic operations. More in-depth support is to replace positioning plates of different materials/split spaces, add knob modules, dual system drives, ... replace these A rich accessory system can improve the playability of the mechanical keyboard and meet the needs of personalized modification. Maybe you will worry that the price of the modification will be staggering, but the little fool has always been cost-effective in this area, so it is more friendly to the people. This time, let’s take a look at how this keyboard looks like!

▲The simplicity of this package surprised me a little. Except for the model number, there is no extra design, but his model GK75 indicates that it is a 75-range keyboard. It is the first time I have come into contact with this configuration of 75. I don’t know if it can be used as a productivity tool, or as a gaming keyboard.

▲Surprises come layer by layer. After opening the package, the state of this semi-finished product made me think that there was no one in the workshop to assemble it? To be honest, I haven't been in touch with customization for a long time, so I don't know that the keyboard can be like this. Different people will have different opinions. For example, I, a middle-aged rising man, seem to have very little time allocated to the assembly of a keyboard. Maybe, it's time to calm down and study this keyboard.

▲ Judging from the structure diagram on the official website, this keyboard is quite exquisite. Its slogan is that customization is not only about changing shafts and keycaps, but also has a rich accessory system to support personalized modification! Such as PC, glass fiber FR4 and other positioning board accessories of different materials, the installation of knob modules, the replacement of split space positioning board modules; built-in 4000mAH large-capacity lithium battery, double-layer sound-absorbing filling, flick Gasket flexible fixed connection structure, etc. Customization is solid and stacked; with powerful driver onboard customization functions, it redefines what customization elements a customized keyboard should have.

▲This shaft is my blind spot and my first contact. I only found out after asking the customer service that this is called the chocolate v2 rose custom shaft.

The specific parameters of this mechanical axis are as follows:

Press weight: 55±10gf

Total stroke: 3.8±0.2mm

Action stroke: 2.0±0.5mm

Type: Early big break shaft

Applicable scene: office, game

From the data point of view, this axis belongs to the large paragraph axis in advance and the paragraph axis in advance. The ordinary paragraph axis has a linear stroke before entering the paragraph stroke, and the advanced paragraph is a paragraph, and a linear stroke after the paragraph ends. This is really similar to the feel of the film. If you have not touched other advanced paragraph axes, this Axes I highly recommend.

▲In addition, the shaft benefited from factory lubrication, which makes it equally excellent in smoothness.

▲In terms of muting, Xiaobu has a LiteGasket integrated double-layer flicking three-dimensional noise-cancelling cushion (patent number: 202122268546.3), which can suppress the sound when tapping. A lot of noise-cancelling cotton is also used in the keyboard to reduce the keyboard The cavity sound and noise and increase the feel, and the mute effect has been further improved.

▲Looking carefully, the screw has also been specially treated. It has a silicone gasket, which cooperates with the sandwich silicone between the main board and the positioning plate and the pad under the shaft to reduce the resonance caused by tapping the keyboard.

▲Even the space modules are pasted with bottom cotton.

▲ gk75 uses pbt two-color keyboard caps. In order to better fit the fingers, the key caps have raised edges and a slightly sunken design in the middle. At the same time, the shortcut keys of the keyboard are marked on the side. The touch of the keycap is very moist and not easy to oil, but I still miss its silicone keycap. And the accessories also come with a large set of supplements, which is really conscientious.

▲Start to install the shaft body, the hot-swappable shaft body, the advantage is that you can replace the one that suits your feel. Alternatively, many different shafts can appear on one keyboard to satisfy one's own feel. It's not bad to think about it.

▲After installing the keycaps, do you see a lot more? The small bug GK75 also comes with a lot of supplementary keycaps. In addition to the substitute keys of the same color, there are also supplementary keys with multiple arrangements, which is also true.

▲The metal knob is also one of the features of this keyboard. The CNC-processed aluminum alloy knob feels very comfortable to touch. The workmanship is exquisite, and it can also be operated by clicking. Moreover, an extra knob is provided to form a double-knob keyboard.

▲In fact, knobs can be installed on the positioning plate where there are four such holes, so that the knobs can be hot-swapped. With the original knob, it can support multi-knob operation.

▲This keyboard adopts a black translucent shell design, a three-way outlet design on the back, a roommate’s 2.4G receiver storage compartment, and a double-stage foot support. In addition, the mode switching slider and the win/mac switching slider are also under the product label.

▲The texture of this metal knob is quite good, and it is very convenient to control. Of course, you can turn it around if you have nothing to do. The knob with a little damping feeling, I would like to call it a decompression artifact. It is said that the programming knob is also very popular in the key ring recently. It feels that all major brands have released keyboards with knobs overnight. I feel that the next step should be a keyboard with a screen. And this SKYLOONG GK75 metal knob can adjust the volume and pause by rotating and clicking. Of course, the knob can also be reprogrammed to meet different usage needs.

▲The keycap adopts two-color technology, the surface is frosted and feels delicate, and the slight concave can fit the fingers better. The PBT material is not so bright in color, but it is wear-resistant, which greatly prolongs the time for oiling.

▲The black frame material is the most attractive after turning on the light. The pops of color under the translucent material will catch your eye. This may be a little carnival for one person after late night.

▲Connect the computer with electricity, the RGB backlight is on, and the texture of the entire keyboard is still good.

▲ There is another interesting point about this keyboard. That is, the positioning plate in its blank position can be replaced. Replace the attached small positioning board, and a space bar will be split into three buttons.

▲ After modification in this way, one space is split into three buttons. This design is quite fun, compared to the long space bar, it takes up a lot of space. Splitting the space can change the key in the space through the driver software to realize the function of pressing a key or combining keys.

▲The driver of the small bug is also very detailed. After downloading the driver, you can see more than 100 built-in lighting effects. The full key supports custom keys, custom lights and custom macros, and you can completely create a keyboard that is more suitable for your own habits .

Summarize

Compared with the interesting design of this keyboard, I also like the hard work on the inside of the keyboard. I accidentally brushed the live broadcast room of this keyboard, where the boss is selling goods. Only then did I know that the wireless module used for this keyboard is the same model of Nordic’s solution and GPW, Viper and other peripherals to ensure the stability of the wireless. The PCB uses an 8-chip motherboard and a 4000mAh battery, and the materials are piled up where they cannot be seen, which is also full of sincerity.

As a keyboard with good feel, workmanship and personalization, I believe it will be one of the new choices for codeword parties, game parties and keyboard lovers. I personally recommend that users who have keyboard needs recently can consider it!

Finally, I would like to say that March 3rd is Skyloong’s Crazy Kit Festival. In the future, March 3rd will be Skyloong’s brand day every year. It is said that all the matching kits will be sold at a shocking price! Bring unexpected surprises to friends who like customization, go and have a look
