Mechanical keyboards have become very popular in recent years, and for a good reason. They offer better typing experiences, durability, and customization options for people who use them regularly. If you're in the market for a high-quality mechanical keyboard kit, then you should check out the YMDK Lite Gasket GK61 V3 Skyloogn RGB Hotswappable Programmable Wired MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard DIY kit (Plastic White Wired v3).

Design and Build Quality

This kit includes everything you need to build a complete mechanical keyboard except for switches and keycaps. It comes with a plastic case, stabilizers, hotswap type C PCB, plate, cable, removal tool, space module, silica cushion, and EVA foam. The design is sleek and minimalistic, with a white plastic case and RGB backlighting that adds a touch of style to any desktop setup.

The build quality is top-notch, and it feels sturdy and well-made. Every component fits perfectly, and the case has a good weight to it that gives it a premium feel. The hotswappable nature of the kit makes for easy customization, allowing you to swap out switches without having to desolder them.

Switch Compatibility

The YMDK Lite Gasket GK61 V3 Skyloogn RGB Hotswappable Programmable Wired MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard DIY kit comes with a hotswap type C PCB that supports Cherry MX switches and their clones. This means you can install any MX-style switch, including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and BOX switches. Unfortunately, the kit does not support optical switches.

The plate is screwed directly to the case, and it comes in a non-replaceable GH60 size, which means that you need to replace the entire plate if you want to change the case. The kit also has support for 6.25u space and split double space. This makes it versatile and adaptable to different typing styles and preferences.

Sound Profile

One of the standout features of the YMDK Lite Gasket GK61 V3 Skyloogn RGB Hotswappable Programmable Wired MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard DIY kit is its gasket design. The kit comes with the GK factory own design gasket structure, which helps reduce sound and vibrations, making for a quieter and more pleasant typing experience.

The kit also comes with some extra screws that allow you to adjust the sound of the tactile feedback. This means you can tighten or loosen the plate PCB to achieve your preferred sound profile. The tactile sound of the YMDK Lite Gasket GK61 V3 Skyloogn RGB Hotswappable Programmable Wired MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard DIY kit is much better than the GK61X v2, making for a more satisfying typing experience.

Software

The YMDK Lite Gasket GK61 V3 Skyloogn RGB Hotswappable Programmable Wired MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard DIY kit comes with GK software that allows you to program the PCB's functions.
