The Sharkoon chapter is ultimately inexhaustible and manages to win in the end in everything!
I'm writing this because I have done some reviews on the company's mice and now it's time to talk about their keyboard.
It is the second Sharkoon that I have purchased, the first one being the SharkZone K30, which was decent and is still enjoyed by a gamer friend of mine. After that, I tried some others, not that there was anything wrong with Sharkoon, I was just looking for something more, keep that in mind. The ones I tried were Corsair, Roccat, Motospeed Inflictor CK104, and Razer. I was relatively satisfied with them, but for the money I paid, I had higher expectations... So I started selling them, quite easily.
And on the day I was about to put the Sharkoon back in its box, I thought, why not check their website to see what's new. I was impressed with the SGK5, so I sent a message to the company and they replied that it will be available in August, lucky me, I asked about the price and they estimated around €50, I was happy, I thought we had a deal.
The next day, excited, I called a well-known distributor who is excellent and a perfect professional. Every time I have bought something from there, I have been satisfied, I even trust them blindly for cables. They told me that as soon as they receive it, they will notify me. Since I ordered a Sharkoon mouse on the same day, after 2 days I received an email explaining that the keyboard has no delivery date and has been removed from the Sharkoon website!!! Obviously, its production has been delayed. And indeed, that's how it was.
I couldn't believe it! And not just that, I have sold everything and I'm stuck with a lousy keyboard from a different brand that I want to throw off the balcony because I can't see what I'm typing at night...
I lasted 2 days, I thought it's impossible, I have to get something, I looked online and found this, the SGK4, I saw the price and thought, this is where it ends, click and buy it today. And so I did. I received it, opened it, had mixed feelings, the old Sharkoon I had had a more impressive packaging, I set it up, connected it, it was okay, nice colors, moderate intensity so it doesn't strain my eyes, I dare say I liked the quality more than the Deathstalker I had before, considering the cost. I mean, I paid €30, come on, and the bad thing happened when I started typing. I have become the biggest chatterbox on the internet :D that's why this is the longest review I have ever done. Typing on it is a dream, I have changed over 20 keyboards in my life, but I have never encountered such a smooth noise, such flow, such responsiveness, such soft key presses, such accuracy, and such ease.
The switches have a matte elastic appearance and texture. They show an unbelievable quality for a €30 keyboard, the noise is minimal compared to others, macro programming commands for the slow ones, ridiculously easy. The backlighting is very helpful and the keys with information on them don't bother at all, they actually help beginners. It's compact with all the functions and to conclude, it's possibly the best combination I have ever had, considering its price. And it's the keyboard that you will never think of looking for something more, it covers everything! And in gaming (2ms response time and color customization) and in typing. The cable is a high-quality black braided one with excellent scratches for as long as you need from Sharkoon, incredibly convenient for those who don't like cable spaghetti.
If it was another brand, I'm sure it would start from 60€, seriously!
Sharkoon has gained a lot of respect in my eyes and I will seriously consider changing companies, if not keyboards, anymore. It wins in all aspects and sorry if I sound like a fan, but I've done a lot of research on the others (and past purchases) with prices that really make me wonder WHY?
Get it!
