It was designed with a 1600dpi sensor, a leather coating and even a few Swarovski crystals for that extra luxurious touch.



The highly styled GK-K6800 keyboard arrives with a glossy coating, a number of multimedia hot keys, a dedicated volume wheel and a wrist support pad. As for the super-thin GK-K7100, it measures just 9mm thick and features 18 multimedia hot keys, a glossy surface design and "notebook-like key travel."
