A very bad idea from Blitzwolf related to the replacement of the key with the question mark (?). This key should stay in the standard position, as it is very often used by people who write texts. In contrast, the right Shift key is rarely used and may have been moved to the far right edge of the keyboard. I'm very disappointed. The right shift keypad cannot be replaced with the question mark keypad as it is too large compared to the question mark keys. I want a keyboard with the standard position of the question mark (?) key. In the next keyboard model, Blitzwolf should fix its mistake. In addition, the performance of the keyboard software should be improved. The disadvantage of this keyboard is intense, irritating green backlight while charging the battery.
The software has no problem at all, you just forgot to download the additional plug-in software in their website to make the rgb lighting accurate and also accommodate the 63 key layout as the software is originally designed for 61.

fellow keyboarders, im getting this keyboard and i need to know what switches i should get. the debates between blues and browns. It would be awesome if you gave an opinion
I was considering both but I think this one is better because they have the same switches and this one has arrow keys that are easier to use than the rk61
Sahil Sarwari Hey man you do you they are both excellent choices I just personally think the fact that you have to do a command on the rk61 just to activate the arrow keys is a bit much
GK64 and this is not good decisions. Best one is to make top arrow 1.75u. I mean split right shift and everything else - standart. They are too into making arrow 1u, which is just not for 60%

You mean in the bluetooth? First you has to change to bluetooth mode (fn + tab), after just hold fn + bt# (bt is in qwert keys) until the bt# key start blinking, turn on the bluetooth on your device and select the keyboard. Use a different bt key for every device and after you just has to tap fn + bt# to select that device.
The GK61 is a bit more well known, so you have that security and almost guarantee of good quality while this would be more like a gamble, however relatively low risk.

2:15 I've never had a mechanical keyboard, but can't you just remove the arrow key and turn it around? Or it's not simectrical?
it'd be tilted awkwardly if you turn it around
Mine wasn’t like that
@Dustin Baylen it’s supposed to have a down arrow so it’s a manufacturing error
Uhmmmm, that is just a miss placement from the manufacturer because mine came fine and he could easily turn it around
