Thoughts on the Cooler Master SK621?
« on: Wed, 21 August 2019, 05:04:03 »
Hello guys,

I'm in the market for a keyboard that I can use on my macbook for work. I really don't like the keyboard it has (Macbook Pro 2017 model).
I came across the Cooler Master SK621, which seems to be a really good alternative. It has bluetooth, mech switches, is small so it'll probably fit in my backpack. I currently own a Cooler Master Quickfire XTI with brown switches and I've been quite pleased with it over the past 4 years (I mainly use it for gaming).

I don't want to annoy my co-workers though since it is a mechanical keyboard (even though my current macbook keyboard isn't silent at all).
I was also wondering if you can put normal keycaps on it (too obvious 'no' question? could'nt find anything online about it tho).

Any advice? Maybe another keyboard that fits the bill?

Kind regards,
Neruval

Thanks for the suggestion, looks nice too, but I prefer the keyboard layout of the SK621 with the arrow keys (pretty useful when working with pixel perfect designing). Next to that, the Sk621 is actually widely available in the Netherlands (where I live). The Anne pro 2 is not that easy to get here.

Check out Matt3o's review of the SK630 in the same series.
He wasn't very happy about the keycaps.

Interesting review. It answers the keycap question, which is a pretty big deal for me. The design of the board looks really good to me, the fact its bluetooth is great for my macbook. But the keycaps were a problem for me, I really wanted to customize that. Hmm

Any ideas for bluetooth keyboards with similar layout that is popular enough that its available in the EU aswel?
