About this deal

We have a smaller right shift and a dedicated delete key, the right control and function keys are also smaller, and the left shift key is also smaller than usual. I’m new to this hobby so I don’t know all that much about stabs and pcb’s however I am doing my first build so it would be very much appreciated for the answers and tips! This is good for those who are looking to step down in size without compromising the efficiency of their workflow.

The LEDs on the Geek GK64 are SMD LEDs or surface mounted LEDs, which features true RGB lighting or the ability to produce colors up to 16. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The 55g of actuation force is also at just the right amount for me for typing comfortably for a prolonged period of time.What I like about this keyboard is that it is a hot-swappable board, which means you can easily swap out switches whenever you like. You are fully equipped to crush it both at work and in-game, ergonomics design for long time use without fatigue. This is different by the way to the audio visualizer using the built-in microphone, that one will pick up all the sounds including background noise and everything you do around the keyboard. Personally I like flip-out feet for the additional adjustment and wish the keyboard could be raised a little higher, but this will depend on personal preference.

Now, since this keyboard is hot-swappable, make sure that the switches you are going to use or replace this with are compatible with this type of LED implementation, or in short, transparent key switches like what we have here.Personally, I would prefer the layout of the Geek GK64, just for the sake of having dedicated arrow keys. DSA keycaps are spherical and non-sculpted, meaning they have a uniform height and shape, unlike OEM or Cherry profile keycaps.

GK64X/GK64XS is also hot swappable, with which you could install the switches directly without soldering.One of the most important aspects of a mechanical keyboard that is often overlooked by manufacturers is the stabilized keys. This is a command-line tool for mapping keys, macros, and lighting for GK6X keyboards (GK64, GK84, GK61, etc). They look pretty much the same except that the optical Gateron switch has a magnifying glass on top for the light to pass through and that the bottom part of the two switches is different, the optical switch doesn’t have pins like the standard switch.
