Cooler Master Sk-621-Gklr1-US SK621 60% Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Low Profile Switches and Brushed Aluminum Design

I originally bought this keyboard to use with the iPad Pro but ended up using it for all my devices, including my laptop and desktop. You can switch between devices quickly with simple key combinations. If you are expecting a traditional keyboard then this keyboard may not be for you. YOU WILL NEED TO ADJUST TO THIS KEYBOARD since some of the keys are of different size i.e. the right shift key, the del key to the right of the up arrow. Other than that, it feels like I'm typing on my laptop keyboard except the travel is a tad longer. This keyboard is not a "clicky" keyboard and is soft to the touch; some may like this, some may hate this. All the keys are accessible, however, you may need to press key combinations to get them; for instance, to type the "tilde," you must press the key combination FN+SHIFT+ESC, and for the "tick," you must press FN+ESC. (Not sure yet if you can map to different keys). There are, in fact, dozens of built-in macros: for music control, profile switching, lighting, macro recording, etc. I can't recommend this for everyone unless you're willing to change some habits. Personally, I love all the options and freedom (portability) this keyboard provides. Disclaimer: This review was typed using the SK621.

I'm really liking this keyboard so far. I don't find it difficult to type on as some people seem to. There is a small learning curve if you're not used to typing on small keyboards with the keys close together but I don't have trouble finding correct keys or cleanly pressing the key that I'm looking for. The keycaps are beautiful and I love the design. The preset color patterns are nice and easy to use. Most of the keys feel very nice to press but it's difficult to know exactly when the actuate. The actuation seems to occur near the top of the keypress. My only complaint so far is the keyboard does not work perfectly with a mac in bluetooth mode. I knew the keyboard's software wouldn't work on OS, but what's frustrating is it doesn't seem to be possible to swap the functionality of the alt and windows key while in bluetooth mode. I bought this keyboard intending to keep it plugged into my PC, while using it with my mac over bluetooth so this kind of ruins the use case I was hoping for. The keys can be swapped just fine with the keyboard is connected to the mac with the wire. Other notes: -The ~ key requires a specific keypress sequence of SHIFT, then Fn, then ESC. If you press FN first, you'll get ` -In bluetooth mode on a mac, my keypresses are sometimes extremely exaggerated ssoooooo ittt tyyyyyyyyyypes liiike thhhiisss. It's not very common and lasts for a few minutes when it happens. -If you want to use this keyboard with a different cord, you'll need one that's skinny around the USB-C end. A bulky grip around the input won't fit.

Like many of you guys, I thought this would be the perfect keyboard for me, as a very fast laptop typist, so much so that I ignored the hundreds of reviews laying out all the problems with this product. It was a mistake. This is not a good keyboard. Let's start with the good: the build quality on this thing is fantastic. Some of the best I've ever seen on a keyboard. And it's beautiful to look at, too. As for typing—it's a nightmare. I had read that there was a problem with the keycaps and that they had fixed them, but I didn't realize that you still needed to special order (for free, although there is no delivery window given and I assume it will take weeks before I get my replacement) the new/better keycaps, and that the boxed version here on Amazon still ships with the original caps. It is *nearly impossible* to type accurately on the default keycaps. I'm someone who can put out 120+ wpm on a laptop keyboard, and nearly as much on a long throw mechanical keyboard. On this thing, after a bunch of practice, I was able to hit 78 without errors. The problem is that the caps are all super close together, and due to the nature of the switch design, you will readily actuate multiple keys at once, so you just end up typing *super* sloppy. Plus, the short throw red switches just feel awful to type on regardless. They are mushy and bleh. No keycap can fix a mediocre switch. There are also some layout annoyances, like the tiny right shift button, plus a confusingly designed Caps Lock LED which actually indicates that bluetooth is connected (!). The bluetooth on this thing sucks. It takes 10-15 seconds to connect, compared to my former "unknown Chinese brand" keyboard which would (and still does) connect within a second. The included software is a nightmare. Good luck actually getting the settings you want to stick, and then attempting to navigate your way through all of the different shortcuts on the keyboard that don't come with any documentation in the box (you have to dig through their website to find it), and even once you know what they do, they don't work half the time anyway. The best part is that as you are changing settings, all sorts of LED sequences on the keyboard light up as if they've some kind of confirmation, but good luck figuring out whatever CM is trying to tell us with these undocumented sequences of lights. Lastly, the (lack of) angle on the device is bad, especially with the grippy and too-close-together keycaps. It feels like you have to bend your wrist over to properly type in such a fashion as to not constantly double up on keystrokes, which is terrible for your wrist.

I know most people disliked this keyboard, But I'm one of the only few who love it to death. I come from a long line of logitech membrane keyboards with this form factor. I needed a 60% keyboard (because I use a razer Tartarus on the left and a wacom tablet on the right, therefore I only need a keyboard to input text that uses the least space as possible ), with FLAT KEYCAPS, because my muscle memory was trained that way, curved keycaps Hurt like hell to me, and mechanical Flat keycaped keyboards are almost impossible to find. hopefully with reds my fingers also hurt with heavy mechanical blues switches. With the least activation force I could get, hence why I chose this keyborad, cause I wouldn't know how to build one for myself. Since I use my pc from 8 to 16 hrs a day for work, anything to tough or clicky hurts my fingers. I know this might be too late, since they don't make them anymore, but I wanted to say thank you!

El tamaño es perfecto al no tener la sección numérica da mas espacio para el recorrido del museo en la mesa de trabajo. El sonido de las teclas es silencioso pero suficiente para saber cuando se ha actuado la tecla. Tiene atajos para activar las funciones de los led y sus efectos sin necesidad del software, aunque el software es muy torpe no es necesario para personalizar el teclado. La versión que compre viene en ingles pero solo es necesario encontrar la combinación de teclas para escribir Acentos y la letra '''ñ' - Acentos (' ")+(e)=é - Letra eñe (shift)+(funcion)+(esc) posterior (n) = ñ

tengo dos meces con la en teclado y a día de hoy dejo de fusionar, enciende y todo pero no enciende el led de bluetooth y por obvio no conecta a ningún dispositivo ni a la pc y cuando la conecto directo al pc no lo detecta solo enciende, me gustaría que puedan tener cuidado y que la empresa me contacte por que no estoy cómodo con mi compra :(

Avant de commencer, je voudrais vous dire de faire la mise à jour du firmware du clavier avant de le retourner, ça a régler tous les problèmes que j'ai rencontrer depuis que j'ai ce clavier. Pour poursuivre, dans les derniers jours j'ai envisager de le retourner car il avait un problème en particulier qui me dérangeait. Je suis je genre de personne qui utilise le clavier sur ses cuisses , je trouve que les bureaux sont trop haut pour le mettre dessus. (j'allonge mes jambes sur un repose pied quand je suis sur mon ordinateur) et donc je suis à environ un mètre et demis des antennes. Au départ, je trouvais étrange qu'il y ai une perte de signal. J'ai donc chercher le moyen de vérifier le firmware du clavier (le programme de cooler master est portal) Je vous conseil vivement de faire cette mise à jour car elle règle le problème de connexion (avant la mise à jour le clavier passait son temps à se déconnecter et se reconnecter à mon ordinateur, j'avais envisager de le retourner, mais j'ai changer d'avis. J'ai écrit cet avis avec le clavier. À mon avis, c'est le meilleur clavier que j'ai eu jusqu'à maintenant. Je m'y suis habituer rapidement. Par contre, j'aurais préférer qu'il soit dans le format du sk630, mais en gardant toutes les fonctionnalités du sk621) Si cooler master ajoute une fonction sans fil au sk630, je vais probablement envisager de l'acheter. Une fois le firmware du clavier mis à jour, il n'y a plus de problèmes de connectivité bluetooth. J'aurais aimer avoir une option en 2.4 ghz afin de pouvoir l'utiliser dans le bios. Pour l'utiliser dans le bios, vous devez le connecter avec un cable usb type c.

Compacto y comodo de usar

tl;dr pretty keyboard and okay if used wired, but absolutely garbage support/software/Bluetooth I've been using this keyboard for 2 months now (after some serious troubleshooting). Prior to purchase, I had already read all the terrible reviews around the internet and prepared for the worst but I still managed to be shocked at how bad the overall experience was for this overpriced keyboard. The keyboard itself has decently sized albeit weirdly flat keys, but I can't seem to get used to the small right shift key and always seem to accidentally hit the somewhat large capslock key. I've also seen mention of not being able to access the tilde (~) key but you can do that by pressing Shift + Fn + ` in that order. RGB backlighting and customization is actually nice IF you can get the software working. Problem #1: After downloading and launching the Cooler Master Portal v1.01 software, it will tell you that it's not connected to the internet. To fix that, it has nothing to do with internet. You will need to turn off the keyboard and plug it in a USB port before launching the Portal again to get the software to work. Problem #2: I recently got a whole new build with a 10th gen motherboard that has onboard Bluetooth 5.0, and no matter what I do, the keyboard refuses to connect to the computer. Literally every other Bluetooth device is fine, it's just this keyboard that constantly tells me to try again (never found a solution to this, but more on my workaround later). Problem #3: I created a support ticket on Cooler Master's site about this Bluetooth issue and they replied after a week or so telling me to install their Portal software and update my firmware (which I had already done). I replied that I had already tried that, amongst other possible common solutions to no avail, after which I was ghosted for a good 2 weeks before they replied with a "Do you have other Bluetooth devices? Do they work?". This information was already included in initial ticket. The absolute lack of support from their customer support the final straw that prompted me to write this review. Now for my Bluetooth workaround. While being ghosted by support, I had searched forums for answers and saw someone who managed to get it working by buying a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle so I purchased one. In order to finally get this keyboard to connect through Bluetooth, I had to plug in the dongle and disable all of my Bluetooth drivers except Low Energy Bluetooth drivers. For this price, it's ridiculous how unintuitive their software is, how useless their support is, and how I have to buy extra parts in order for the keyboard to work as intended wirelessly.
