Lenovo has launched its new Aurora GK10 mechanical keyboard in China. It comes in both wired and tri-mode versions, with a choice of Blue, Brown, or Red mechanical switches. The wired model is priced from 99 yuan ($14), while the tri-mode version is set to retail for 179 yuan ($25), though it has not yet gone on sale.
Lenovo Aurora GK10 Specifications
The Aurora GK10 uses a compact 98-key layout with an ergonomic design that aims to save space while maintaining key functionality. It connects to devices via a detachable Type-C cable.
The keyboard sports full-key hot-swappable sockets that support both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing users to customize their typing experience with ease. The GK10 equips genuine mechanical switches with three options: Blue (tactile and clicky), Red (smooth and linear), and Brown (tactile with quieter feedback).
All switches are rated for approximately 50 million keystrokes. Travel distance measures 4.0 mm ±0.4 mm, with actuation at 2.0 mm ±0.6 mm. Trigger pressure varies by switch type: Blue switches require 50±15 gf, Red switches 45±15 gf, and Brown switches 45±15 gf.
The GK10 features an RGB lighting system with 20 dynamic effects, including options like wave, snake, and breathing patterns. The lighting is customizable through Lenovo’s Aurora software, which supports synchronized lighting across compatible devices such as mice and headsets. The keyboard includes dedicated multimedia and lighting control shortcuts via the function key (FN), enabling quick adjustments to brightness, effect speed, audio playback, and volume.
The GK10 supports full N-key rollover and uses double-shot ABS keycaps designed to resist wear over time. Lenovo equips the keyboard with tuned stabilizers on larger keys to improve typing stability. The keyboard also includes adjustable feet that provide a 4-degree typing angle and non-slip pads for added comfort.
The tri-mode version includes a built-in 4000mAh battery. The keyboard measures 385.9 mm long, 139 mm wide, and 38.32 mm tall, with a weight of approximately 780 grams.
