Optics and haptics
Then let’s take a closer look at the keyboard. The thin border around the keycaps and switches contributes to the generally small size, and the distances between the individual keys are also kept moderate. The top is finished by a plate of brushed aluminum.
The entire underside is made of black plastic, and several wide rubber pads are supposed to provide a better grip on the table. Apart from that, you can see the feet for angling the keyboard, two on each side for the different angles. Thus, depending on taste, a slope of 5%, 8% or a maximum of 11% can be achieved.
The front and back are relatively unspectacular. There is only the physical USB Type-C (2.0) port for the detachable cable. There are no cable ducts on this keyboard.
The side view then clearly shows the special feature, the eponymous “low profile”. The switch and keycap have a reduced height, so that only a flat 33mm is reached at the highest point; regular keyboards tend to be around 46-50mm.
Of course, you can go higher if you use one of the two available levels of angling. The GK50 LP TKL makes a really solid impression in terms of workmanship. But since most of the time you’re more likely to come into contact with the keys and not the keyboard itself, we’ll take a closer look at the switches on the next page.
