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. 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. One of the most important aspects of a mechanical keyboard that is often overlooked by manufacturers is the stabilized keys. The rest of the keyboard could be absolutely perfect, but if the stabilizers are of low quality or improperly installed it instantly ruins the typing feel and sound. No worries about that here. The GK64 has excellent stabilizers with proper installation and plenty of lubrication. https://github.com/wgwoods/gk64-python - thanks to @wgwoods for his work on annotating the dissasembly of the GK64 firmware. 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).

There is no "apply failed" message like there is on the official software, so map / umap can fail silently. Macros is for recording automated input sequences with delay adjustment. Once recorded you can program the macro to a key using the Configurations tab. You can reprogram the base layer, layers 1-3, and layers 1-3 whilst the fn is held down. You can't move the fn key, but TempSwitchLayer1/2/3 can act similar to a secondary fn key. The base layer fn key set can't be mapped. unmap Software/firmware needs a lot more tweaks and improvements to compete with other fully programmable alternatives.

It’s a non-standard 60% layout that fits in dedicated arrow keys not typically found on 60% mechanical keyboards. This type of layout obviously requires some compromises to key size and placement. 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. Not only will this make finding replacement keycaps more difficult, but it also shifts the stagger of the keys on one row to the left by 0.25u. For my needs having dedicated arrow keys is eminently useful so those compromises are worth the result. Resets the keyboard to the default config. The dedicated reset keyboard key combo will be more effective; refer to your manual. gui 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). 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.

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.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. This is a command-line tool for mapping keys, macros, and lighting for GK6X keyboards (GK64, GK84, GK61, etc). This can be used as an alternative to the official software ( Windows / Mac).

This is used to update the data files from the official software. This exact process needs to be re-documented ( Updating.txt). Additional infoOne 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.
