Disassembly

Disassembly of the ACGAM AG6X is easier than with most thanks to the single-piece case and aluminium cover plate. Some keycaps need to be removed to access screws, as seen above, and a precision Phillips head screwdriver will help remove the eight screws holding the case and the rest of the keyboard together. Once done, we can get the case out, and this gives us some more information regarding the factory likely responsible for the case, and perhaps also the entire keyboard. Indeed, a closer look at the Jikedingzhi website reveals a keyboard named the GK6X that is possibly the base customized to this very AG6X keyboard from ACGAM and at the very least the case, as evident from the name here too. Jikedingzhi also has a vast set of partners/customers they work with, including Aukey we drew a comparison to before here already.


The PCB is blue in color, with a design finalized in October, 2017 making this a recent release. The switches are PCB mounted through the aluminium plate, which adds structural integrity as well as being in white to better reflect the white backlighting on the keyboard. Solder quality is very good here even with every single switch soldered and associated with an LED of its own. We can also see the USB Type-C connector better here, with a few tantalum capacitors around the power delivery section as well.


The keyboard is powered by a microcontroller marked as a COR M1 SE32F07L64, but I was not able to find any more information on this. Indeed, there is also a dedicated LED driver, but the surface is completely empty of information to where I can't even find out what it is. ACGAM tells me this is their customized hardware driver, so there was no need to have a logo. As it is, all the components are soldered on to a multi-layered PCB as is the norm now.

Before we move on, be advised that disassembly will void the warranty and that TechPowerUp is not liable for any damages incurred if you decided to go ahead and do so anyway.
