Okay, we're going to have a closer look at the product guided with the help of lots of photos. As always packaging and bundle first. The SK621 is a what should be considered a portable keyboard with low profile mechanical switches. Hack even the packaging is compact.
The keyboard has been packaged in a nice cloth bag which does give it that extra feel when you open up the box, handy if you need to carry it around for protection. The SK621 has a 60% layout and that thus removes the numpad and dedicated nav keys to save space, but still packs all the signature Cooler Master features like On-the-Fly Controls, RGB lighting, and Hybrid Key Rollover.
Unpacking shows a simple bundle, the keyboard, the manual/warranty guide and a 1.8-meter cloth braided USB Type C cable. The keyboard does not come with extra replaceable keys for WASD or something but does include a key-cap puller. The primary fit for this keyboard would be FPS gaming, but it is well suited enough for any gaming and generic usage. After you power it, across the keyboard you will notice the keyboard light up in CM's purple house color. Any key is RGB and these can be dimmed, colored and animated. We'll show you the keyboard powered on over the next few pages of course.
Once we have a better and closer look at the keyboard the words tiny and sturdy comes to mind. The keyboard has a nice heavy feel for its size, combined with the black design as simple as it is, it looks just looks great. You will notice that we received the model with Cherry red keys. The keys themselves are not rugged but have a nice feel to them then used.
Due to the simplistic design, you'll miss separated media, numeric and function keys on the keyboard (like volume), albeit they have been embedded under combined function keys. There is a window lock mode key mode that can be activated with function key option, which allows you to disable the Windows key and get dropped back to the desktop by accident in a hefty gaming session. These functions are all supported at default, there's no need to install any software whatsoever.
