Sharkoon Unveils SGK50 S2 96% Layout Keyboard
Full layout for full freedom—The SKILLER SGK50 S2 combines all the advantages of our hot-swap gaming keyboards with a comprehensive 96 percent layout. The switches and keycaps of the S2 can be hot swapped as and when desired, and the functions of all the keys can be customized thanks to VIA and QMK compatibility. A polycarbonate plate and double-layer silicone damping also ensure that this mechanical keyboard sounds just as good as it looks.
Pre-Installed Gateron Switches—Red, brown, or would you prefer yellow? The SKILLER SGK50 S2 is available in three different versions, providing a choice of pre-installed Gateron switches with either linear or tactile feedback. Or do you prefer the personal touch? With the SKILLER SGK50 S2, that's no problem! Switches of your choice with 3 or 5 pins can be easily installed and used. Of course, the tools required for hot swapping are already included with the keyboard.
Full Form Factor
The SKILLER SGK50 S2 is the right choice for those who enjoy full functionality on a full keyboard layout. With 100 to 101 keys, the keyboard has a compact 3-block format that is 96 percent of a conventional keyboard.
Full Customization Thanks to Open Source
Instead of any bothersome software installation, the SKILLER SGK50 S2 relies on simple steps to adjust the RGB illumination or set up macros. In addition, full customization is available through the open-source software VIA and QMK.
Rich Keyboard Sound
To ensure that the keyboard sounds as good as it looks, we have installed a polycarbonate positioning plate and double-layer silicone damping for a rich, deep sound.
Stylish USB Coiled Cable
Like all keyboards in the SGK50 series, the S2 also comes with a detachable coiled cable, which has a USB-C to USB-A connection and provides a particularly chic look for any setup.
SKILLER SGK50 S2 PBT
With a firm operating force of 50 ± 15 g and an immersive, linear feedback, the pre-installed yellow switches of the latest Gateron generation are the optimum to be found beneath the high-quality and abrasion-resistant PBT keycaps of the SKILLER SGK50 S2 PBT.
SKILLER SGK50 S2 Barebone
The SKILLER SGK50 S2 Barebone will be the perfect choice for those who already have a good idea about the keycaps and switches they really want to have. This is because the keyboard is supplied without any pre-installed switches and keycaps, allowing for the complete personalization of the layout.
Price and Availability
The SKILLER SGK50 S2 is now available as a standard version or a PBT version at a recommended retail price of 89.90 euros and 109.90 euros. The keyboards come with a DE or a BE layout. A barebone version will also be available shortly at a recommended retail price of 79.90 euros. All keyboard versions are available in black or white.

6 Comments on Sharkoon Unveils SGK50 S2 96% Layout Keyboard
The only gripe is that I sometimes touch the left arrow key when typing. Maybe I need a keyboard wrist rest.
