In today’s review, we evaluare the Sharkoon SKILLER SGK50 S2 mechanical keyboard which features a genuine wood case. This is not an affordable product, with a price tag that is close to 150 euros. Read the full review to find out whether it is worth spending so much to get it!
When Sharkoon first announced a mechanical keyboard with a genuine wood case, my interest was immediately captured. In a market flooded with anodized aluminum and injection-molded plastic, the promise of a natural, warm material was a breath of fresh air. Having now spent several weeks with the Sharkoon SKILLER SGK50 S2 Wood PBT, I can say it’s a keyboard that doesn’t just perform—it makes a statement. It successfully blends artisan aesthetics with the modern, enthusiast-driven demand for customization. However, it isn’t without a few quirks that remind you it’s a unique product in a competitive field.
