About this deal

To be brutally honest, the software is unrefined and mediocre ( at best). 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. You basically have to go through trial and error to figure out what half the buttons and options even do. The following commands can be used as command line args to just execute a specific command /gui, /map, /unmap, /dumpkeys. For example: GK6X.exe /map Best of all there is absolutely no branding. Zilch. Certainly has the look of a custom built mechanical keyboard. Not the type of design you’ll find mass produced on an assembly line from the popular mainstream brands.

Compact Minimalism Layout + Ergonomics Design】As a 60% Hot Swappable layout compact mechanical keyboard, the GK64 truly makes advantage of each inch to include four separate arrow keys for ultimate experience. You are fully equipped to crush it both at work and in-game, ergonomics design for long time use without fatigue.

One accessory the GK64 includes is a padded pouch for storage or transport. The keyboard was shipped inside the pouch, which I believe kept it from being further damaged. The box itself is fairly thin and provides minimal protection. The /p command line arg can be used to set a prefixed file name of the config to use. For example GK6X.exe /p test will use test - 655491200.txt as the target config file (where the keyboard model id is 655491200). Maps the keyboard based on the config in UserData/YOUR_MODEL_ID.txt. See Sample.txt for examples of setting keys, macros, and lighting. NKRO + Waterproof Design】100% full anti-ghosting without conflict, enjoy the process without any obstacles. The mainboard is designed with IP6X dustproof design. No worries of dust or water splash on it. You are totally safe with it.

This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. This is used to update the data files from the official software. This exact process needs to be re-documented ( Updating.txt). Additional info https://github.com/wgwoods/gk64-python - thanks to @wgwoods for his work on annotating the dissasembly of the GK64 firmware. As for aesthetics the GK64 is a stunner. The gray anodized aluminum case is not only high quality, but gorgeous. It features angular CNC cutouts around all the edges and bottom for a slimming look, tiny bezels and smoothly rounded corners. The design looks masculine. Maybe even edgy. There are issues with the web GUI such as not being able to map the base layer. I'd recommend avoiding the GUI if possible.

Compiling may take several attempts depending on the version of mono. Try xbuild GK6X.sln, or msbuild GK6X.sln, or xbuild /p:TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.5 /p:TargetFrameworkProfile="", or ask for help in #4. The physical dimensions of the GK64 measure in at approximately 11.5 inches by 4.125 inches. As expected from a full aluminum keyboard it weighs a hefty 910g (just barely over 2 pounds). To put that number in perspective the GK64 is a little heavier than the Durgod TKL keyboard I previously reviewed, despite being quiet a bit smaller in length and width. It’s well over 300 grams heavier than the Anne Pro, a similarly sized 60% mechanical keyboard. If you don't see any output, it has failed to detect the keyboard. There isn't any console output until it finds a valid keyboard. Commands map There is no "apply failed" message like there is on the official software, so map / umap can fail silently. Speaking of the feet, they are fairly large and textured to provide traction on a desk or other flat surface. The feet combined with its heavy weight hold the GK64 in place very well. It doesn’t easily slide around on a smooth surface.

In my opinion 6 feet or longer is preferable, but it should be long enough for use at most desk setups. I also would have liked to seen another shorter USB-C to USB-C cable included for mobile devices, considering the GK64 is small enough to be portable. Gateron Optical Switches 】Gateron optical switches can be hotswapped at wish and replaced by other switches. Hot swap keyboard do not require you to solder / desolder switches (Hot Swappable with Optical switches only). This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy.NKRO insures every key press will register 100% of the time no matter how many keys are pressed simultaneously. When it comes time to remove a switch for replacement you’ll need the metal switch removal tool included with the GK64, so keep it stored in a safe place where it won’t be lost. If you’ve ever used a plastic ring keycap puller you should have no problem removing switches with this tool. It’s the same basic concept.
