Product Information

If so, the corresponding switch leg may need to be slightly filed down or clipped before it can be 100% seated flush with the backplate for a stable connection. This is how the media keys must be setup and it’s a great solution as it means I don’t have remove my shoe, granting access to a 3rd appendage and an 11th digit to hold down that bizarrely placed Fn key/s all the while holding right mouse and pressing volume up bottom with my right toe. I had a few questions and they were answered within a day or two from a polite but direct admin lady. The dye-sublimated PBT keycaps, anodized aluminum case, hot swappable switch sockets, complete absence of branding and overall build quality are about what you would expect from a custom mechanical keyboard.

Pls pay attention: To avoid damaging PCB hot swapping sockets, pls make sure your switches' pin is vertical , and you'd better not using used key switches with soldering tin. One thing I noticed though is that I think this pcb will need some shielding with this case, maybe some polyimide tape on the PCB.Now you can pull out the backplate and PCB, which are also attached together with 6 more screws from the back. Most notable are the short right shift (1u), modifier keys to the right of the spacebar (removed or reduced to 1u) and slightly shorter 2u left shift. Custom programming should be done in the “Onboard Settings” tab if you wish for the programming to be loaded onto the keyboard for use even without the companion software. 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.

One of the biggest selling points for the GK64 is the modular switch feature provided by hot swappable switch sockets on the PCB.
