Keyboard Keycap Dimensions

The “units” of a keycap refer to a comparison between a one “unit” standard key. This is such

that a 2u key will be two units of a 1u key.

Changing Modes/Layers

Standard Layer

In this layer, you have preset configurations for the buttons to be pressed which you can see in

the manual above.

Epomaker GK96S/SK96S Extended Manual Version 1.2

The default on this layer is the following:



Spectral Cycle, GK96XS-1, Spectral Cycle,

Windmill and Rainbow Waves

Driver Layer (FN + 5): Q light will light up when this mode is selected. Driver mode layer

only works when the keyboard is connected wired, and allows you to modify the backlight

colours in real-time. You can assign larger macros while connected through a cable vs storing it

on-board.

Layer 1: Onboard memory layer, The “5” key will light up when this mode is selected.

This layer will work without having to be connected wired, but you’re limited to what lighting you

saved onboard (similar to the “standard layer”).

Layer 2: Onboard memory layer, The “6” key will light up when this mode is selected.

MacOS layer. This layer is the same as Layer 1 and 3, but by default has the keys rebinded to

match a MacOS keyboard and the Backspace key will be binded to delete. This can be changed

in the driver.

Layer 3: Onboard memory layer, The “7” key will light up when this mode is selected.

This layer will work without having to be connected wired, but you’re limited to what lighting you

saved onboard (similar to the “standard layer”).
