This allows them to be more readily identified just by feel for correct home row placement without having to look at the keyboard. I’m so thankful they pre-solder these PCBs because I really wouldn’t want to be doing it for this board. The force required for actuation is measured at approximately 55g and they have a total travel distance of 4mm (2. For any gamers considering the GK64 as your next keyboard you’ll be happy to know it supports full N-key rollover, programmability and true 16. Speaking of the potential for people to be severely injured, this CNC aluminum case is beyond HEFTY and therefor offers a glorious typing experience with no perceivable audible echo underneath the keys, just a solid satisfying thunk on each press.

You could always mod on some taller feet if you like this keyboard but absolutely require a steeper typing angle.Now you can pull out the backplate and PCB, which are also attached together with 6 more screws from the back.

With a little patience it can get the job done, but I did find it extremely difficult to use, cumbersome and mostly undocumented with a poorly designed UI. Also note that when you assign custom backlight profiles in software (max of 5) they are bound to the “Logics light” key on the Fn layer.Next you simply line up the two switch contacts in the correct orientation over the holes of the PCB socket. PBT Keycaps, are made from high quality PBT to prevent a glossy build up and look good for a long time. A basic black box with simple logo embossed on the top and a couple of SKU stickers placed on the back.

In my opinion 6 feet or longer is preferable, but it should be long enough for use at most desk setups. Testing and trying different switches, layouts, and cases, we think we’ve found a great option for the enthusiast looking to step up their game from their plastic keyboards.The GK64 features great levels of RGB customisation from individual keys through to whole keyboard flowing waves and emanating pulses on key presses, truly overkill and awesome. The stabs can be removed relatively easy because the entire board can be disassembled with just a screwdriver and switch removal tool. After removing the first couple of switches you’ll realize how simple it is and quickly get into a rhythm. Tight as hell tolerances for the plate mean that I wasn’t able to easily fit the ZealPC clear PCB stabs.
