Software & Customization: An Enthusiast’s Dream
This is arguably where the SKILLER SGK50 S2 truly shines and justifies its place in a crowded market. Instead of forcing you to install clunky, proprietary software, Sharkoon has fully embraced the open-source community by supporting QMK and VIA. This is a massive win for enthusiasts.
What does this mean in practice? You can remap any key, create complex macros, and adjust the per-key RGB lighting through a simple, intuitive web interface or a desktop app. There’s no bloatware, and changes are instant. This level of flexibility is typically found on keyboards costing significantly more. The hot-swappable PCB (supporting both 3-pin and 5-pin switches) is the perfect hardware complement to this software freedom, allowing you to experiment with different switches without ever picking up a soldering iron. The included tools make this process effortless.
