Gaming Keyboard Sharkoon SGK50 S2 Mechanical QWERTZ Wireless

The Sharkoon SGK50 S2 Mechanical QWERTZ Wireless is a compact 96% layout gaming keyboard that combines hot-swap functionality with a tenkeyless form factor and RF wireless connectivity. It is supplied with pre-installed Gateron switches (available in red, brown or yellow variants) and supports VIA and QMK for full key remapping and macro programming. A polycarbonate plate and double-layer silicone damping improve acoustic qualities, while a detachable coiled USB-C to USB-A cable completes the package.

Advantages

The keyboard offers hot-swappable switches for easy replacement or personalization, compatibility with both VIA and QMK for open-source firmware customization, and three factory switch options for different typing feedback. Its 96 percent layout preserves most standard keys in a compact three-block arrangement, and built-in sound-dampening components deliver a deeper, more refined typing sound. A detachable coiled USB cable provides a clean, stylish connection.
