Keyboard Sharkoon Skiller SGK50 S4 Barebone Gaming USB White

The Sharkoon SKILLER SGK50 S4 Barebone is a compact 60% gaming keyboard platform supplied without switches or keycaps, allowing full customization. The barebone design supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches and accepts standard ABS or PBT keycaps for any language layout. The wired USB connection and 1.8 m spiral cable provide a reliable link to the PC while the compact white housing saves desk space and leaves more room for mouse movement.

Hot-swap sockets allow quick replacement of 3- and 5-pin switches without soldering, and the included tools simplify swapping both switches and keycaps. Onboard macro support lets you record up to two macros with up to 16 actions each without installing additional software. RGB backlighting offers up to 16.7 million colors and multiple single- and multi-color effects controllable directly from the keyboard.
