Packaging and Accessories

Packaging for the Sharkoon SKILLER SGK30 is bold and flashy, with a black wrap as a base and plenty of other splashes of color to catch your eye. On the front is the company logo and product name along with a render of the keyboard in action of some kind, as well as a list of salient marketing features including the switch type. This continues on the back and sides, so much so that the back is quite crowded with more renders, specifications, and features in multiple languages. There is a double flap on the shorter side, and covered in a fairly ugly manner by packing tape to hold the contents in place during transit.


This is rarely seen—a keyboard that opens up from the shorter side to reveal everything like a weirdly proportioned book. Sharkoon throws in a packet of silica gel to keep things dry, and the keyboard itself is inside a plastic clamshell for further protection, both of which are enclosed in thick foam pieces on either end. The plastic clamshell can be used as a dust cover for when the keyboard is not used. Underneath the keyboard we find the only included accessory, a multi-language manual (online copy here) that goes over the various pre-programmed functions. It is one of the better manuals even though this is a relatively uncomplicated keyboard and confirms that the SKILLER SGK30 is available in several language layouts.
