TRI-MODE CONNECTIVITY & 3000MAH BATTERY: SKY81 75% custom keyboard supports 3 connection modes: stable wired, ultra-sensitive BT5.0 and hassle-free wireless 2.4G, allowing up to 5 devices to be connected at the same time. The toggle switch on the side of the keyboard can switch the connection mode for easy and quick response. SKY81 has a built-in 3000 mAh battery, which can last for about 15 hours when used with the light on. You can check the battery level at any time by pressing FN + Backspace.
GASKET-MOUNTED STRUCTURE: Unlike the traditional screw fixed structure, the positioning plate of the SKY81 wireless creamy keyboard is fixed in the middle by the pressure of the upper and lower shells. There are gaskets distributed around the positioning plate to prevent direct contact between the interior and the shells, acting as a cushioning layer and effectively reducing vibration and noise generated when typing. This keyboard feels soft and even, elastic and has pure sound.
5-LAYER SOUND ABSORBING FILLING: In order to improve the noise situation, this gasket keyboard is equipped with a IXPE foam pad, PORON foam, diaphragm, EVA soundproofing foam and silicone absorbing pad in the gaps between the positioning plate, PCB board and bottom. This greatly reduces the resonance space inside the keyboard, thereby suppressing hollow sounds and making every key press comfortable and pleasant. For gamers and office users, this keyboard is a great addition to the desktop.
HOT-SWAPPABLE SOCKET & PRE-LUBED CUSTOM SWITCHES: This 75% mechanical keyboard is compatible with 3-pin or 5-pin switches, allowing you to personalize your keyboard. The switches are individually removable and can be replaced in seconds. The SKY81 keyboard utilizes MageGee’s finely tuned switches, which are pre-lubricated at the factory and built to last up to 70 million keystrokes for responsive and creamy typing.
STUNNING RGB BACKLIGHTING AND WIN/MAC SUPPORT: This creamy mechanical keyboard has 18 backlighting modes, a wide range of light colors, and adjustable backlighting brightness and speed. Bright static and dynamic lights shine in the dark, illuminating your desktop and enhancing the gaming experience. The light can be switched off by pressing FN + DEL to save power. It works on both Mac and Windows systems, so there’s no need to worry about adaptation issues. Reliable multi-device connectivity helps you handle your work more efficiently.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL KNOB AND INDICATOR: The 75% gaming keyboard features a metal knob for quick control of the keyboard lights and computer volume. By default, rotating the knob can adjust the backlight brightness, and pressing the knob can switch the lighting effects. Hold the knob for 3 seconds to switch to volume mode, then rotate it to adjust the volume and press it to turn on the media player. The 4 indicator lights on the right side can clearly display the real-time status of the keyboard.
75% COMPACT FORM FACTOR AND N-KEY ROLLOVER: With 83 keys, this hot-swappable mechanical keyboard retains all the necessary functionality while reducing the size by 25%, saving more desktop space. 100% anti-ghosting, each keystroke is detected correctly even if you press a lot of keys on the board simultaneously. Instead of the usual solid-colored keycap layout, this keyboard uses an aesthetically pleasing two-color mixed scheme, plus 7 five-sided heat-sublimated keycaps with exquisite patterns, making it visually appealing.

Review: VERDICTRecommendedWHYThe blue whale switches feel pretty awesome and I think I like them better than red switches. The overall design is pretty good and I like the layout, colors RGB lighting and the speaker knob. The only issues are the keyboard is constructed of plastic so if you twist it, it will give. Also if you press too hard the keyboard will deflect, bend down – although that is not something that you would normally do anyway. The other issue is pressing the volume knob should call up the media player when the regular function I’d expect is to trigger mute/unmute. Overall, it’s a great starter keyboard. It even has 3 modes of connections: wired, bluetooth, dongle.

Review: I’ve tried a number of high end mechanical gaming keyboards in the past and was underwhelmed by the performance of the keys. Some clicky, some less, but the amount of pressure wasn’t just right. Or there was detectable friction. I just poor dimensions causing restrictive keystrokes.I decided on the MageGee SKY81 for its smaller form factor and layout. It also had the best connectivity options. Others lacked the USB to USB option while charging, only for charging thus causing down time. What’s the point?The one chosen was the purple model for its lighter pantone and muted look. The trade off I discovered is the loss of contrast and ease of reading the keys. The backlit feature doesn’t shine through for easy reading in the dark. The backlighting is decorative only.Quality of the keyboard is excellent. Very solid construction and heft. No hollowness during operation.The keys are very slick, no friction when struck.NOTE: the key caps were not installed all the way on some and were scattered all over the box! Snapping them back on fixed the keyboard.The keyboard is compact, ideal for storing for transport, and for small desks.The keys were a pleasure to type on, and I was able to efficiently test them typing a document. A relief!It has been the top performing gaming keyboard among the ones I’ve tried and own. There are a few options to theme some of the keys. I chose to forego.My only criticism is the keys should have used a higher contrast font color. White on the muted off-white caps is totally camouflaged. But it still is a very satisfactory high quality product.

Review: This keyboard reminds me of a Royal kludge keyboard. It’s hot swappable which is great and comes with extra switches and keycaps. When it got here there was a couple of keycaps not attached to the board which should’ve been a sign since it most likely left the manufacturing facility like this. Upon opening it I noticed that the control button didn’t change rgb at all. The board nor the box is damaged, so this is a quality control issue or a setting issue that we cannot figure out. Pass on this keyboard and go for a RK for a budget board or an EPOMAKER.
