Currently, Open Kemove only supports the Snowfox keyboard, but you are welcome to request support for other Kemove models, like the Shadow and Dierya DK61. Getting used to the FN “shortcut” version of the arrows takes some getting used to but is well worth the effort. For singleplayer games, the lag is still there. The latest Bluetooth 5.1 is somehow not enough to make up the mark. Then again, it is just a preference and I usually like a fully loaded keyboard maybe that’s why I find it worth mentioning to some likeminded people. Although there is less customizability to the posture or the angle of this keyboard, the limited amount of time before your wrists start to hurt is not going to be filled with typos thanks to its facing design and good quality switches.

As for the setting point of view, the designers of DK61 probably forgot to give it proper feet. The whole keyboard basically lies flat on your table with a little angle that is not adjustable and doesn’t really help your wrists. DK61 Pro has a compact design and it has only 61 keys (slightly smaller than a tenkeyless form factor). While separate arrow keys are non-existent, the layout of this thing is well-focused and it helps you in typing and in-game movements really well. As for the tests, I tested it in my office environment, and it performed almost perfectly on both wired and wireless modes. Nothing worth mentioning here. It would be best to make sure that Bluetooth is in pairing mode. That is, the Z button flashes red and blue alternately.

Observe the lighting status of the three keys on the keyboard “Z/X/V”.Suppose none of the three keys on the “Z/X/V”light. It means the keyboard is in wired mode. This is how most compact 60% keyboards work these days and once one gets the muscle memory built up, it is just as fast as a regular-sized keyboard’ However, whilst I was gaming competitively, I noticed a considerable lag in the movements while I was using the keyboard wirelessly. You will not see the difference until you play the same with the wired mode. Anyway, you can get latencies ranging from 4-12 ms in multiplayer games like PUBG and Call of Duty: Warzone.

Detailed instructions on how to install the Open Kemove firmware are available on How to Install. Discord Server Open Kemove is an alternative firmware for Kemove Keyboards. It is based on QMK, a powerful open source keyboard firmware that gives you many customization options, such as user-defined macros, per key modifications and layered typing. Development status Recently, many friends asked us how to establishDK61 Snowfox / Shadow’s Bluetooth connection. I hope this article can solve the problems you encountered in using Bluetooth.The easy reach of my fingers was convenient and there is nothing to complain about the design of DK61 Pro (If you can live without the arrow keys).

However, compact keyboards rarely include those keys therefore, their absence shouldn’t bother you as long as you are used to compact layouts. When the blue and red lights of the Z key flash alternately, it indicates that the keyboard is in a Bluetooth pairing state Add DK61 to your computer If you need help during the installation, want to contribute to the project, or just want to chat, feel free to join our discord server at Open Kemove Discord Server.
