Sharkoon SKILLER SGK50 S4 Tastiera gaming USB QWERTZ tedesco nero

The Sharkoon SKILLER SGK50 S4 is a compact 60% gaming keyboard with a QWERTZ German layout, USB connectivity and LED backlight. Its reduced footprint saves desk space while keeping all essential functions accessible. The hot-swap PCB supports interchangeable 3- and 5-pin mechanical switches, and three Kailh switch types are available: linear red, tactile brown and clicky blue. Macros with up to 16 actions can be recorded directly on the keyboard without additional software.

Advantages

The 60% form factor frees up space for wide mouse movements and a cleaner desk setup. Hot-swap capability allows fast replacement of switches without soldering, and the included tools make keycap and switch changes straightforward. All three Kailh switch variants feature a short 1.9 mm travel to actuation and a rated lifespan of at least 70 million keystrokes. The keyboard’s spiral cable and adjustable feet provide flexible positioning and a durable connection. Foam layers around the PCB reduce typing noise.

How to use

Connect the keyboard to a PC via the USB cable. Select and use the built-in lighting modes with the dedicated key combinations. To change switches or keycaps, use the included pullers: remove the keycap, then pull the switch from the hot-swap socket and insert a compatible 3- or 5-pin switch. Record or overwrite up to two macros (each up to 16 actions) directly on the keyboard using the specified key combinations in the user guide.

Recommendations

For quieter operation, choose tactile (Brown) switches or add sound-dampening mods; for fastest actuation choose linear (Red) switches. Ensure replacement switches are compatible 3- or 5-pin Kailh-style mechanical switches and always disconnect the keyboard from the PC before swapping switches.
