The SKILLER SGK40 is a three-block keyboard with an aluminum housing that was designed specifically for gaming and has been announced by Sharkoon Technologies. One of the LED strips on the keyboard is referred to as the Edge Light, and it is responsible for providing an additional RGB highlight. It is possible to completely turn off the illumination or to customize it using the software that can be downloaded. An additional feature of the keyboard is that it comes with linear switches from Huano that are already installed. These switches require a low actuation force of 45 grams and a short distance of two millimeters to reach the actuation point.
