Technical data and features
The Sharkoon Crystal Shark presents itself as a mechanical gaming keyboard in a compact 85 percent format with a German layout and combines functionality with an eye-catching, completely transparent design. The connectivity is flexible: In addition to classic operation via a USB cable, a wireless connection is available using a 2.4 GHz USB receiver, enabling a range of up to ten meters. This makes the keyboard suitable for both stationary setups and situations where wireless operation is preferred.
The Crystal Shark is equipped with a total of 91 mechanical KTT switches with linear switching characteristics. They work with a moderate trigger pressure of 43 grams and are designed for a service life of up to 60 million keystrokes, which benefits both frequent typists and ambitious gamers. Thanks to the hot-swap function, all switches can be replaced without tools, making it easy to customize the typing feel.
The keycaps are made of transparent polycarbonate, which, in combination with the RGB backlighting, allows a particularly even and intense light distribution. This visual effect is supported by the completely transparent housing structure, which clearly sets the keyboard apart from conventional models. The design is complemented by a magnetically attached upper housing cover, which both facilitates access to the interior and contributes to ease of maintenance.
In terms of technology, the Crystal Shark offers a 6-key rollover for reliable detection of multiple simultaneous keystrokes and a polling rate of 1,000 Hertz for low-latency signal transmission. An integrated lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 2,600 mAh is installed for wireless operation, which – depending on the usage profile and lighting settings – can provide runtimes of up to 180 hours. The model thus combines visual independence with solid technical features and a high degree of adaptability.
The scope of delivery includes a USB nano-receiver, a 180 cm long USB cable, a keycap puller and a switch puller. The keyboard is compatible with Windows and measures 363.5 x 135.2 x 38 mm with a weight of 1 kg.
Customizable design
For easy installation of new switches or a new look with free-standing keys, the magnetic housing cover of the Crystal Shark can be removed in one easy step.
The accessories
A good quality sleeved USBC-USB-A cable, switch puller, keycap puller
Pre-installed KTT switches
The pre-installed switches from KTT are perfect for the Crystal Shark and all gamers thanks to their transparency and linear switching characteristics.
Wired or wireless
The Crystal Shark can be conveniently operated wirelessly and offers a long battery life of up to 180 hours. Alternatively, the supplied USB-C cable can also be used. It is interesting how the “dongle” was attached here.
