GK GAMAKAY TK75 V2 75% Silent Mechanical Keyboard with TFT Screen, Hot Swap RGB Bluetooth 5.0/2.4GHz Wireless/USB-C Wired PBT Cherry Profile Keycaps Gaming Keyboard (GamaKay Pegasus Switch)

Tldr; Bad manual, software is laggy, but overall great value. good build quality. Silent keys.Feel: 10/10Sound: 10/10 (I got the Pegasus silent keys, absolute dream)Size: 10/10Macros: 10/10 (takes a bit of messing around with)User Manual: 6/10 (Needs work)Why I bought this keyboard:I want to preface this with that I am not a "keyboard head". I don't know what is "thocciest", but I imagine this would be "creamy". I don't want to spend 4 hours lubing my switches. I just wanted a keyboard that felt good, was somewhat portable (hence 75%, though would have prefered 60%, but it was hard to find something that came prebuilt with silent keys), and quiet. I plan to take this to work, as now we are required to go back to the office soon, and you have to use a flexible/unassigned desk, it is hit or miss that you get a keyboard that is not grimy. Also I have gotten used to my Corsair keyboard feel, so the low profile ones are a bit less comfortable now.I received this keyboard today. Let me tell you, it is amazing how quiet it is. My mouse click is 3 times as loud. The keyboard feels great! I wasn't too thrilled about the caps, especially the lighter color, but they are growing on me. The software is ok at best. It is slow, and take some time to get used to, but once you figure out the macros, you can modify it pretty easy. Love macros on my old corsair. If you are into the gamer LED look, you will be pleased. It has a good range of options and customizations directly controllable on the keyboard. (NOTE: To change the mode, press FN+\, the user manual isnt too clear) I prefer not to attract attention and feel it looks a bit tacky, so I preferer white backlight or no lights. Its easy to change light settings directly with the keyboard function keys. I don't use the HOME, PAGE UP, or PAGE DOWN Keys so these are what I programmed my Macros as. I also changed to volume knob press function to pause/play music as the default is mute/unmute. Macros DO require the software though.I had issues when trying to connect Bluetooth. I connected fine the first time, however my battery seemed to hold no charge. It displayed 1% on the windows Bluetooth setting app, and would disconnect if I removed the power cord. And when I tried to connect it to another device it seemed to fail due to batter not lasting long enough to register connection. I contacted their customer support but had no answer, so I planned to return. BUT THERE IS HOPE. . .I was able to fix this issue! If you are having similar issues try these steps. I am not sure which steps solved this.1. The switch on the back of the keyboard should be pushed to the far right side if set down (Closest to the mouse if you are right handed)2. Reset the keyboard. FN+ESC for a couple second.3. Hold the FN+1/2/3 for a 3-5 seconds. It will slow pulse red on the middle right light, and when released it should pulse faster.4. Connect via TK75 5.0 (TK75 3.0 will not show you your batter life)5. If you are having issues with 5.0 vs 3.0 unpair from your computer and repeat the steps above.Hope that helps! I was about to return this and write a terrible review, but I was able to fix the issue. Battery now shows 100% and I wrote this review with THIS keyboard!I will update if any other issues come up, but as of right now I love this keyboard. If you like building keyboards then maybe its not for you, but again I am not about wasting time lubing keys for 4 hours.

I am not an expert on mechanical keyboards, I just was looking for a good starting board to get into this hobby. I wanted a good build quality, silent switches, and hot-swappable key switches to future-proof. I have the Phoenix switches, which feel very pleasant and are very quiet.Pros: Very well built, the keyboard is heavy, comes with everything included that you need. It is plastic (i knew that before buying), but the plastic finish is very high quality. I personally like the included silent phoenix switches. The keycaps are a personal preference, I don't mind them. They feel high quality and are easy to type on, I just wish they were shine through. The volume knob feels high quality and is very satisfying.Cons: Like other reviewers have mentioned, the software that goes with this board is not the best, but it is useable, and once you set it up the way you want to, you don't have to use it again. I have yet to figure out how to set up the macros, but I don't need that, so it's not an issue for me. All I needed was to remap the function keys to brightness and media controls, which the software can do. Unfortunately, you cannot map the keyboard brightness or lighting effects to a specific key, but the built-in key combos are easy enough to remember. Fn+up/down to change keyboard brightness, Fn+enter to turn keyboard backlight on/off. Notably, Fn+\ is to change the lighting effect. This is incorrect in the included user manual, which says it is Fn+,Overall, this feels very high quality for the ~$90 price, I am satisfied with my purchase.

O.K., yeah, that title would have been funnier if I had gotten the Phoenix switches, but there you go.The Good:* It is, indeed, very quiet. Not the absolute quietest I have heard, but quiet.* The case is very nicely padded out with several layers of foam and even a layer of silicone* Though the case is plastic, it feels solid and is heavy enough to stay put on your desk.* The volume knob is convenient and feels nice.* It's hot-swappable, so you can customize it later, to your liking.The Bad:* I hate, hate, hate the keycap set that came installed on my copy. (It looks as if they're moving away from that set, thankfully.) It is crowded with bits of text that don't tell you anything about what the keys actually do and pictograms that actively obscure the function of some of them, including, ironically enough, the Function button.The Meh:* The Pegasus switches have a somewhat heavy actuation, and are slightly mushy. This is not unusual in silent switches. They're nowhere near the worst on the market, but they're not the best, either, in my opinion. I would guess that, for the average person looking for a quiet keyboard, they are perfectly fine, and they are one of very few options if you want a pre-built, quiet, mechanical keyboard.*The only switch on the case is on/off, so you have to remember which buttons to pair with the function button to switch modes. At least they don't make you pry off a keycap to find it, like some manufacturers do.*No Via compatibility. (They do have their own software, but I didn't keep the keyboard long enough to try it.)* The design and colorway is rather ho-hum, in my opinion.In the end, I ended up returning this keyboard and going with something else. I think it is one of the better keyboards in its price point, but I wanted something a bit flashier and decided to go a more custom route.
