Product Information

Looking closer on the switches, we have the normal Gateron switch of the GK64 on the left and the optical Gateron switch of the GK61 on the right. 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. So if you’re planning to grab a hot-swappable keyboard, make sure you choose the right one for your preferred type of switch. 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 Now let’s take a look at the Geek GK64 mechanical keyboard, at first touch this keyboard feels really nice for its price, the design is good and it is pretty lightweight but it doesn’t flex that much. It weighs around 442 grams which is currently the lightest keyboard that I’ve tried. The layout is non-standard but that’s because it squeezed in the dedicated arrow keys which I really appreciate. 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.

There is no "apply failed" message like there is on the official software, so map / umap can fail silently. 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. 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.

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. 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.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. Resets the keyboard to the default config. The dedicated reset keyboard key combo will be more effective; refer to your manual. gui
