Skyloong GK75 Optical Mechanical Keyboard
Note: This was a Group Buy that launched July 25 and closed September 15. Estimated arrival Q4 2023.
The GK75 Optical keyboard from Skyloong has everything you need for an enthusiast grade keyboard out of the box! Pudding keycaps, gasket mounting, RGB lighting, an encoder knob, and programmability, all combined with optical switches for lighting fast actuation and incredibly long lifespans!
PBT Pudding keycaps combine the best of both worlds: beautiful translucent underlighting with fade resistant PBT material for the legend. PBT plastic resists developing wear and shine from extended use, while the underside is translucent polycarbonate to allow for all of the spectacular RGB lighting to come through.
Optical switches provide an incredibly accurate and responsive press. These from Gateron and Skyloong are smooth, durable, and feel excellent to press. Each input is actuated at the speed of light, through the detection of a beam of infrared light that is triggered by the keypress. This keeps each input exactly consistent and doesn't degrade due to physical wear of metal contacts, even after millions of presses. Choose from classic style switches from Gateron or fast-actuating gaming switches from Skyloong.
