What customers say
The SKYLOONG GK75 earns high praise for delivering an enthusiast level typing experience at an accessible price. Its primary strength is the gasket mounted, hot-swappable PCB, which provides a satisfyingly soft and acoustically pleasing sound profile immediately. This keyboard offers excellent foundational quality, making it a superb entry point for custom mechanical keyboards. A key advantage is the native ISO layout support, highly valued by European users. While the core hardware excels, the included keycaps and the proprietary software are frequently noted as weak points, often requiring user replacement or causing frustration during advanced customization. Despite these minor peripheral issues, the overall value and superior mounting system solidify the GK75 as a top mid-range recommendation.
Know before you buy
The ISO layout features a specific key arrangement common in Europe, most notably characterized by the large, inverted L-shaped Enter key. Ensure this layout matches your typing habits before purchasing, as it differs from the standard ANSI layout found on most US keyboards.
No, this keyboard is specifically designed for 1-pin optical switches. Because it uses optical technology rather than traditional metal contact pins, it is not compatible with standard mechanical switches like Cherry MX or Gateron mechanical variants.
The Shallow Gasket structure uses a silicone pad between the plate and PCB to provide a softer, more cushioned typing experience. This design helps dampen vibrations and reduces the hollow sound often found in standard plastic-cased keyboards.
No, the keyboard features internal flash memory that saves your custom keymaps and macros directly to the device. Once you have configured your settings via the software, they will remain active even if you plug the keyboard into a different computer.
Yes, the keycaps use a standard mounting stem, so they can be used on most other mechanical keyboards. However, keep in mind that the GK5 profile is a unique spherical shape that may feel different from standard OEM or Cherry profile keycaps.
Yes, the GK75 is fully compatible with both operating systems. You can customize the key functions through the software to ensure the layout matches your preferred OS environment.
