Can you remap fn on this version? Because on the GK64 you can't. Also no mention of 2u left shift, that should be in the details.

iii_inkI don't think you can remap the fn key on this version either as it's still not QMK compatible and uses their proprietary skyloong software.

iii_inkThis is the same layout as the rest of the GK64 family, which is a 2u left shit, 1u right shift. It does make keycap kits a pain sometimes, I have 3 of the bluetooth version (from banggood) with the solid aluminum case. I love the layout, wish more kits had the left shift I need. Cannot remap the FN key on any version of the 6whatever software they use, although the most recent one I got has a link to some newer firmware than is linked here so I will try it and if it allows it report back. I greatly prefer this layout to a straight 60 with no arrow keys though.

SpikeophantWhere’s the best place to find these non standard shift keys? None of my keycap kits can fit this 😢

takoyakeysAliexpress has full gk64 keycap sets, don't know if anyone sells 2u shift singles. There are a few full sets that include 2u shift keys, look out for those. Also the numpad 2u 0 will fit, if it's the right color!

takoyakeysSorry for the super late reply, most of the kits I have gotten from drop work, So SA Laser, MT3 Suswatari have worked, I used GMK First Love on one, but had to use the 0 from the numpad for the 2u shift. Worked surprisingly well. I have SA Atlantis on one too but you have to buy mod plus, mod, and base to get it to work. I used SA Pulse on one, but that was lame cause it def doesn't have coverage so I have a couple of the extra novelties from SA Laser filling in, it actually looks pretty good though. I have a LOT of keycaps I don't use in kits because I buy only weird boards. :/ I am looking for a 40% hotswap next so I can have even more trouble finding sets.

bigboyowoThere are 2 sets, both I got from Ali. The grey set doesn't seem to be available anymore, drop has had them before. The other is the Japanese root blue-cyan from kprepublic.
