Accessible mechanics
Over the past few years, mechanical keyboards have gone from expensive devices for enthusiasts to an affordable alternative to membrane models. A significant role in this was played by the cooperation of local brands with Chinese OEM manufacturers, which made it possible to reduce the cost of production without significant losses in quality. One of these manufacturers was the Ukrainian brand Hator, which quickly won the trust of users due to the combination of high quality and reasonable pricing policy.
A worthy successor to Rockfall TKL 2 Mecha
The new model from Hator called Gravity TKL is in many ways a continuation of the ideas of the popular Rockfall TKL 2 Mecha. Both keyboards are compact wired models with an aluminum base, mechanical switches of their own production, pre-lubricated stabilizers, double-molded keycaps, a detachable braided cable, laser-engraved symbols and noise-insulating pads. Naturally, there is also RGB backlighting.
Replaceable switches, customizable backlighting and volume wheel
However, the Gravity TKL takes these solutions a step further. The keyboard now supports hot-swapping of switches, and the Skeleton design (without a top cover) simplifies this process. Noise isolation has been improved, and the rounded keycaps with a two-tone design have become more pleasant to the touch. Two multimedia buttons and a volume control wheel have been added to the side. The backlight can be customized individually for each key. In addition, QMK/VIA support has appeared, which opens up wide possibilities for customization.
What's unpleasant is that the software is very inconvenient and seems to have been written just for show. There are only 2 layers of button customization for printing - the regular and the Fn layer. In my old Dierya DK61, there were about 5 layers. There is also no possibility to change the backlighting depending on the active layer (I used to assign the Numpad to the middle of the second layer's keyboard, but I don't use it often enough to remember exactly where).
Furthermore, with this keyboard, I couldn't assign the usual Fn+Ins/Fn+Home combinations to media track switching because these combinations are factory-assigned to backlight settings, and there's nothing you can do about it...
Next, for some reason, from time to time (so far twice in a few weeks), the lwin button starts working as lalt, and vice versa. This is probably some feature mentioned in the manual that nobody reads. I have to reassign these keys in the software every time.
Backlighting. The keyboard has plenty of built-in backlighting options, but try creating your own static backlighting set, and within half a minute, you'll get bored with it because selecting buttons in the software is quite a hassle. There doesn't seem to be any animation support in custom backlighting.
I want to try flashing it with QMK, but for this, you need to remove the rubber plug and short some contacts. Thank goodness, at least you don't have to solder!
