Product Information

Those stately keycaps are lit by per-key RGB lighting that supports 16.8 million colors. The lighting is bright enough, and it looks good reflected off the aluminum top plate, at least on the space gray model. Unfortunately this is where the keycaps end up negatively affecting the experience. They don’t let the light through evenly, and the decision to illuminate each key’s secondary function means the bottom half of most characters is better-lit than the top half. Low Profile Mechanical Switches - Reduced travel distance and actuation point with the same signature durability, feel, and precision.

Adding complexity, the SK622 is also compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, which means the functions of several critical keys change based on what device the keyboard is paired with. It’s not enough to learn that the key featuring Cooler Master’s logo allows you to take advantage of another key’s secondary functions; you also have to remember in which mode the keyboard is set to take advantage of common keyboard shortcuts across those operating systems. This can be overwhelming at first.You don't need it, but we have it. Simple, straightforward, and fool-proof. You'll be able to unleash 16.7 million colors to every key, get further customization of lighting modes, and fine-tune macros. Say goodbye to rage quits due to crappy hardware. The SK620 comes equipped with a 32-bit ARM Cortex processor for consistent precision and performance. Register keystrokes instantly. Save and execute commands and macros in a snap. Thanks to the On-the-fly System, get an instant advantage over your opponent and beat them to the punch every time. Ergonomic Upgrades - New ergonomic keycaps and adjustable feet allow you the comfortable typing experience you want, your way.

The other aspects of the Cooler Master SK620 add up to a fairly standard experience. Its switches are reliable and the 1,000 Hz response rate is exactly as performant as you’d expect. I haven’t quite gotten used to either of the keyboard’s available angles — although I’ve come to prefer having the feet extended — and have noticed slight cramping after longer sessions. But those are personal issues; everyone’s tolerance for a particular setup is going to vary. The SK620 is compatible across virtually every modern OS and Windows PC. So whether you're a PC enthusiast or diehard Mac user, however you play or work, we got you covered.

The Cooler Master SK622 can be used with a wire or without one. The wired connection is enabled by a high quality, 1.8-meter-long, braided USB Type-A-to-Type-C cable that can be detached for easy transport. The wireless connection is enabled via Bluetooth 4.0; there’s no 2.4GHz option for people whose systems don’t offer Bluetooth connectivity.The complexity is reduced if you use the keyboard with a single operating system (although that means the additional symbols printed on the bottom row are more of a distraction than anything else) or if you only try to learn it on one at a time. This form factor is fundamentally different from full-size or even tenkeyless keyboards; having to wrap your head around the idea of multiple input layers is probably going to take a while. That struggle can pay off, however, as long as you’re willing to approach the Cooler Master SK622 on its own terms. I simply couldn’t remember what each key’s secondary function was, either, so I constantly had to look at the keyboard whenever I wanted to mute a video or take a screenshot (see how to take screenshots in Windows). At least Cooler Master makes it easy to find those functions at a glance. That problem could probably be solved with time, of course, and other people might be able to remember what each key does after studying the keyboard for a few moments. To them I say… I’m jealous.
