INTRODUCTION

   After having used and or tested/reviewed well over 300 keyboards since i begun my trip with PC's back in the early 90's i have become somewhat "picky" as to what models get to make their way to the lab. For good or bad the market is filled with low quality keyboards regardless of switch type (yes, plenty of low quality mechanical models out there as well) and since yes, the time i can dedicate to my reviews is not endless (not like I’m not getting any younger) I’ve chosen not to go down that path. Instead, I’ve decided to focus my reviews on keyboard models that actually look worthy of a permanent place on your desks (at least at first glance) and one such model is without doubt the GK650K Omnis Mechanical Gaming Keyboard by SPC Gear (SilentiumPC).

   Since 2007 SilentiumPC brings well-made CPU coolers, cases and power supplies with main focus on exceptional value for money achieved through effective design and smart cost-cutting. No fancy trademark names, just well-thought-out products designed to work, chosen and praised by value-minded enthusiasts and system integrators.

   Just like countless other models in the market the GK650K Omnis makes use of Kailh RGB switches (available with brown, blue and red) which are certified for no less than up to 60 million keystrokes (meaning they "should" easily outlive most of your other peripherals). The GK650K Omnis however also features a top aluminum plate (for increased durability), dedicated volume control wheel, detachable magnetic wrist rest, two-step feet, detachable USB-C cable, 100% anti-ghosting with full N-Key rollover, 1000Hz polling rate, per key RGB lighting (18 available modes) and even side RGB LEDs. Of course, as expected from a current mechanical keyboard model you can control all of its functions both via software and keys. Granted the GK650K Omnis doesn't have the longest list of features but it does seem interesting to say the least so let's see if this is the keyboard to get for Christmas.
