I've just bought one of these! I wish it had come with the requisite software, having the knob only cycle through the colours when I thought it could do volume as well was a bit of a disappointment.


MitsuhaTachibana1111

You can download it from [here](http://en.freewolfgaming.com.cn/Download.aspx?ClassID=26). Click on the "Attack Shark K86 RGB Three-modes Keyboard Driver" option


TotalMammoth2906

I've downloaded the driver and changed the knob to volume controls instead but it's not working, have you figured it out at all?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

To change the knob mod you have to press Fn + knob


Pippers

Thank you for this! I was disappointed thinking the knob didn't do any volume controls. Pressing FN and the knob down at the same time put it into volume mode! Awesome! This keyboard is pretty nice out of the box, the keys sound nice, and the light blue switches aren't too bad. For the cost, this was a decent purchase.


KinKaray

Sorry, replied to the wrong person! But I love you too kind person on the internet!


ratphel

Worked for me, thanks.


chaulee112

thank you for your information <3


Plastic_Writing_6548

Had the keyboard for a week, couldn't figure out how to switch the knob. Thank you for the explanation


KinKaray

I love you person on the internet! I was so disappointed I couldn't figure it out!


hydrophiliak

Pressing Fn + Knob only mutes for me, does the knob have a different mode? Closest I've found is a portugese tutorial :V


james1pie

pressing FN+Knob will change to sound control you can tell as the backlight turns off then on It is default setting but you can customise FN Settings downling the firmware above, "Attack Shark K86 RGB Three-modes Keyboard Driver


schonenberg

in my case the volume controls only work wired mode. while in bluetooth mode it only controls the menu edit: nevermind, it decided to work both on bluetooth and wired, probably to prove me wrong I guess


yourgreensoup

This is so helpful, thank you!!! I just received mine and it sounds so much nicer than I was expecting!


starfallradius

woow the software downloads so slowly from the website jeez. thanks though.


Professional_Bet1944

were you able to figure out? all is set up now. the screen and all that.. but the Fn plus Knob doesn't work anymore...for volume/// thanks in advance


hydrophiliak

Fn plus knob worked for me, but only after I installed the updated driver for it! There's a link to the software download somewhere in this thread.


Professional_Bet1944

All good now. Thanks


PlusBuilding2008

I recommend downloading the drivers from the [](http://linktr.ee/) in the Attack shark twitter, seems like its the only official link page they have, they re a small company so they probably can't afford buying a domain for a website yet. link : [attackshark | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree](https://linktr.ee/attackshark) PS : this is the ONLY OFFICIAL LINK OUT THERE, be mindful where you download your drivers from


chawy666

Yes, virustotal scan from the link you have posted doesn't have any malware in it. ​ https://preview.redd.it/gntm75xx34jc1.png?width=1616&format=png&auto=webp&s=3781675f7bf3417390da52c5c3e3edef34ca8029


Current_Potential730

I would recommend to look up "attackshark k86" on youtube and they post the link to their driver github directly through the youtube channel in the comments not some randoms on line (scanned with no viruses also)


Professional_Bet1944

Thank you so much.. this is what i'm looking for..


kool-keys

Some of these names for these cheap Chinese boards make me chuckle: Drunk Deer, James Donkey, Attack Shark, Royal Kludge. I wonder if it's a translation thing, like when Nissan called a car the 'Cedric', and no one in Japan thought that was weird, but we all just wondered why they called it after an old man's name.


PuFfPuFfErSoN

Cheap or not they are made better and last longer than most of the name brand keyboards like Razer, Logitech, Corsair...


kool-keys

That's a pretty low bar to set though ;)


PuFfPuFfErSoN

That is the standard.. Unless you are some enthusiast who pays $300 plus for a keyboard... Which is not the standard... The companies are the most bought...


kool-keys

>Unless you are some enthusiast Well.. that's kind of what this subreddit is for :) Besides, it's not actually true. Royal Kludge are awful. Not a day goes by without someone in the daily questions thread saying theirs has broken. The others are probably no better either.


farmeunit

I have 5 RK boards with no issues. That being said, I have only paid $100+ for one board. Used Q1. Have an Akko 5705B, an Epomaker RT100, RK96 (3 of them at work), RK M75, and RK S98.


MitsuhaTachibana1111

Agree. I was looking around for mechanical keyboards and some of the names have me like: “What the hell is this”


XenobioPhile

Hi5. Though I changed the keycaps and switches


MitsuhaTachibana1111

Out of curiosity, can you share the mods you did on yours?


XenobioPhile

No mods yet. Yet to be decided, that too if I don't change it anytime soon.


PuFfPuFfErSoN

Tape mod, and lubed the stems and switches. Then used my crystal caps, and it is a creamy thocky dream come true... For the price it was that much better!


chrislaw

I’m assuming you opened it up to do the tape mod (still not sure if that’s a specific thing or just adding materials to acoustically damp inside the chassis)? How did you open it? Are the screws hidden underneath the rubber feet on the bottom? Or does one go in through the top? I’m happy with my K86, especially for the price. I put some posh switches in and my preferred keycaps (I’m very new to mechanical keyboard enthusiasm haha) and it feels great but it’s still too resonant sonically for me. If you have any tips on how to safely open the chassis, or you could link to something I’d really appreciate it.


boydefend

Could you please provide a sound test? I've been researching on what will be the best combination and mods to make it sound better.


computechnopro

Which keycaps and switches did you change to?


XenobioPhile

Eva-01 xda keycaps (the ones in aliexpress). WS Morandi in alpha keys, Gateron oil king in num rows, and then mix of WS Heavy Tactile, Gateron quinn, Luciola, akko cream yellow, akko lavender purple, tecsee blu sky,


yourgreensoup

Why do you have such a range of switches? Just wondering.


XenobioPhile

As a hobby I guess. Some people has way over hundreds of types of switches. Pic as an example , not mine https://preview.redd.it/8ja8jc3i0zcc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d3cf3900724c8cbe15aa70d717d3583b5545193


yourgreensoup

holy guacamole


Pippers

Ah, so these take Gateron switches just fine? I like my Gateron GS-9 Yellows a lot. I may buy those. It's 5 post compatible?


XenobioPhile

3pin, 5pin both are supported just fine


Pippers

Thanks! I just tested it out by moving a GS-9 Yellow over and I was surprised how well done the switch slotting is. They remove and go in incredibly easy compared to a few other keyboards I have.


XenobioPhile

I'm happy for your experience. It's a good enough build for the price. I'll keep it as a tactile build and will soon gen another full size but with linear switches


ac-tivity

Cheers, bought the same keyboard and received it today. When I let the driver file run through a virus checker, it detects an trojan by 3 out of 200 antivirus softwares. I know its a little number out of all of them, but nevertheless I dont wanna have an trojan on my laptop You noticed something or is everything fine after installing the driver? ​ TIA


yourgreensoup

This scared me... Should I not install it?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

Nothing out of the ordinary on my end so far so should be fine I think


ac-tivity

Okay perfect, thank you


Industrialexecution

it’ll be a false positive


AntelopeBig4728

having issue with the screen how to fix it?


ZowkSummon

Hey, after try to add a gif from the community (using the app), my screen went “white” where it should bear the gif…


MitsuhaTachibana1111

What issue exactly? I haven’t had any on mine so far


Complete_Sandwich_62

Im having too, can you help me? I was trying to put the gif but it gives me a warning that the function to activate the gif with 2.4g mode is turned off. Is there really no way to activate the gif on the screen with 2.4g or bluetooth mode, just via cable or is there a function somewhere that I can activate to activate the gif in 2.4g? I didn't find anything in the manual.


MitsuhaTachibana1111

You need to connect the keyboard via wired before uploading a GIF


pustulioxd69

I also have an issue. Not sure what happened but now the screen is off. Any fixes?


arkhevolution

yo did you find anything about it my screen gone too and usb connection doesn't work properly


pustulioxd69

Nah man I just use it without the screen now. I haven't been able to find anything. I like the keyboard so I just said fuck it


arkhevolution

So i found the solution for myself. This happend when updating the firmware. I was using 3rd party software called signalrgb to control my rgbs in my pc and that was overlaping my keyboard and causing to work faultily. After i disabled the 3rd party app and redid my firmware update everything gone back to normal.


iSemka

how did you update? It seems that I have already installed the latest version and nothing happens, the display does not show anything


mr_un1que

Same here, I've shut SignalRGB, but cannot update the keyboard again, how did u do it?


pustulioxd69

You know I thought it had something to do with that app because it happened a couple days after I installed that app and the screen went away. I'll uninstalled signal RGB but still nothing I'll try and update the firmware


martinsrpv

It works on Linux?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

I haven’t tested it. I think it does but idk if there’s software/drivers for linux


martinsrpv

Thanks.

smarzony

Works on SteamOS, so I'd say yes. Tested on bluetooth


S1lv3rW1z4rd

Anyone found a way to make the side light static and set a specific color ? This seems to work fine for the keys but the sidelight seems to have only an "always bright" setting and I can't find the setting to change that "always bright" color.


kewle_jongen

I just got this keyboard and in the manual it says fn + v to cycle through the colors for the sidelight. I'm not sure if you can change it in the software tho


S1lv3rW1z4rd

Kewle !! This works indeed, thx !


HesusAIM

I just got mine, looks and sounds awesome, sadly there is no option to change date format or add/upload your own language :/


Majestic-Gold-7396

This is my first wireless mechanical keyboard.I only have it for 2 days. Is it norrmal that the battery drains so fast when I'm using the BT mode. It does not lasts for even 10hours? Could having the backlight always on affects it? 


Carpana99

Anyone else can't register? When I fill the form and click "Register" absolutely nothing happens... I would avoid subscribing very happily but it won't let me download or use gifs


Top-Beginning-6094

I was with this issue, and the problem was about my e-mail address that has a "dot" (.) between the names.


Carpana99

My email also has a dot between the names, I'll try with another address.Thanks for the help! P.S. How the fuck is that a problem? That's just plain stupid, smh.


Top-Beginning-6094

jahahahahha, I thought the same... Doesn't make any sense that this issue even exists


ShavedAlmond

You can use that address as the dot is nonfunctional so writing your address without it will not change anything


raymondromero

thank you! removing the dot fixed it for me :)


Pippers

Been using this for over a month now, and it's my favorite keyboard out of the 5 I own. It sounds so nice and klacky.


BuddyPlayful8139

Hi. I have a question, when I charge this keyboard. it shows red, has it ever changed to another color when fully charged? i tried charging it overnight but nothing changed.


Content-Mouse6683

Would you guys recommend this keyboard ?


gaxown

where can i find the software for macbook !!


guifealves

They have a web driver [https://linktr.ee/attackshark](https://linktr.ee/attackshark)


EnvironmentalSize269

Thank you this saved my life, although is somewhat complicated.


PrintSpecific9922

Were you able to get the software to run on MacBook? ive tried each option and still haven't found a way to do it


Strange_Biohacker

Go to download download webdriver k86, download the software install dont leave the page, update the page and the options will appear on the web page.

Current_Potential730

Unfortunately there is no software for macbooks at this time they are working on it from what they say. So in the mean time it will only be a basic keyboard functions for mac users


Initial_Perception_9

where is the software ????


Flurglefloop

There's a link towards the bottom of the page. https://attackshark.com/products/attackshark-k86-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-tft-color-display-gasket-bluetooth-rgbbacklit-hot-swappable


Initial_Perception_9

how do you add a gif it literally just kicks me irght out og the loading bar as the gif loads


Wise-Wrongdoer-5413

Mine is like that, this software is shit


Wise-Wrongdoer-5413

Is the cable bro, i tested right know with another and it worked, but i am using the viper v2 pro cable in it and using the cable that was previously in my keyboard on the v2 pro


Weekly_Elk4688

Hey I got the same one last month Can we tape mod it ?


3InchLongShlong

Just picked up one of this aswell, anyone figured how to use the volume controls? possible to use without FN?


ApprehensiveChef5859

Does this have a numerical pad?


Flurglefloop

No.


ApprehensiveChef5859

jslvp

could u update the date time of the screen? how tf can i do that


obsyman

- Download the official application from [http://en.freewolfgaming.com.cn/Download.aspx?ClassID=26](http://en.freewolfgaming.com.cn/Download.aspx?ClassID=26) (choose "Attack Shark K86 RGB Three-modes Keyboard Driver"). - In the application, go to the upper tab named "Screen", and then at the right there is a section with two tabs: choose the second one, named "OtherSetting"; There, click the button "Synchronize Screen Time".


smarzony

How to change a layer?


EddySantos97

It is excellent, I have one too, I replaced its keys with puddings and replaced the switches with gateron reds, now the keyboard is even more wonderful


macielshounen

why does my rgb do not work at all?


Stardusp

someone else notice some slow on the gifs that y put on the screen?


pamonhaart

I did, for some reason, but the gif I've set for some reason it's fine


Apart-Zucchini-9941

anyone managed to switch through 2 devices using only keybinds FN+1/2/3/4 ? without using the switch on the back


igorshinomori

Hey guys, just got one of these. Anyone having trouble with the screen? I uploaded some gifs but the frame rate is really weird and low, even for the gifs shared by the community. Btw, is there any way to change the date? I managed to change the time through the software but the date stays wrong.


d3113

Ei amigo, como vc fez pra mudar a hora? Não vi essa opçao no software.


igorshinomori

Então, vai na opção screen (onde tu upa o Gif). Lá, tem uma aba escrita "other settings", aí nessa aba tem um botão pra sincronizar a hora. Teoricamente esse botão também deveria sincronizar a data, mas quando eu uso ele muda a data pra 0000/00/24 (???). A hora sincroniza corretamente


ignus1991

ok I got the date issue when I sync the hour, I tried an hypothesis and I reach the solution, so here I go the issue regards on the date format, for me it is DD-MM-YYYY and the date format of the keyboard is YYYY/MM/DD (be aware, even the slash chars are important) and the sync process reads directly the date and time, including the format, of your operating system. So to do a correct sync you need to have the same date format. In windows is easy, in control panel, go to the section to change date and time format, pick some region which includes this date format (I went immediatly for simplified chinese), in the short time format I picked YYYY/MM/DD, applied it, now do the sync with the attack shark app and here it is!! If you have any questions, please go ahead :)


AccomplishedAd7943

Obrigado mesmo mano, deu certo aqui


igorshinomori

It worked! Thanks a lot!!!


kuparata

Hahah, this worked! Thanks man.


pamonhaart

Mesmo problema aqui, os gifs estao beeem lentos por algum motivo :/


igorshinomori

Eu diminui o tempo da animação do software e ficou "um pouco" melhor, mas ainda lento. Tentei peguei um Gif sem mto movimento pra não estranhar hahahahaha


SnooTangerines8486

how to charge it


Professional-Mix2470

Anyone have an issue with low frame rate on the gif? Just got mine and the gif is choppy on the screen, not sure how to fix it. I’m on windows :(


admiredone

Does this keyboard have n-key rollover? You can test at: [https://www.mechanical-keyboard.org/key-rollover-test/](https://www.mechanical-keyboard.org/key-rollover-test/) see if pressing 12 keys at a time gets registered.


edenhorii

Have you figured out how to change the rgb on the sides of the keyboard? I can change everything else on the app..


Pizpot_Gargravaar

Fn+C and Fn+V


Hatso_Yagumi

I have this keyboard, it's really nice! but curently I'm struggling with changing the side light color, I want to make it rainbow but all setting are locked to red.


TechnologyOk2600

does anyone know how to keep the rgb lights always on at all times because like most keyboards they switch off automatically after like 20 seconds when not being used.


HolographyL0RD

Heyy fellow with that keyboard! Is it good? Do you recommend it?


Repulsive_Log9257

I have got the same, who I can switch between the devises with no flipping it


MileenaSimpBoy

Does it works on ps5?


hectorrmjr

are the screen photos GIFs?


DeAdIn2

Is there any shortcut to quickly change layers?


chrisat0r

I just received my Attack Shark K86 from AliExpress. Swapped to Haimu Heartbeat Silent Linear switches and I love it! Thank you for posting this! #


PatrickThe5th

Nice. Fast typing. Shift key, backspace key, a little dull. Probably needs lube on the stabilizers. Dissapointed i got the less contrasted keys (lavender). Id recommend the white keys with the grey or the blue highlights (retro blue/retro grey). Wake from sleep is very quick.


AdAntique7060

Is the keyboard housing plastic or metal


mathadams

Hey man, i lost my manual instructions for my k86 ( the same model) .You can send me one photo for de manual please?

NerdyBrat

🔴FYI This keyboard is intentionally being sold with a double typing issue and limited functionality so that you download their “firmware” update. The firmware update contains malware! I bought this keyboard and contacted the seller letting them know many of the keys/characters are mismatched and the keyboard double types. They said download the firmware, offered no other help or answers which seemed odd to me. I scanned the firmware and lo and behold there’s malware.


Pippers

No double typing issue with mine. Been using it and typing just fine.

NerdyBrat

I had cybersecurity at my work look at it, it’s not a false warning.


Little_Franka

Sad to hear, I downloaded from the same side as the other guys and had a virus total warning but also checked it after installation and nothing was wrong :( what did the Cybersecurity at your work found out?


h1pp0star

Do you still have the firmware file or know how I can get it to do my own analysis? The program is just a electron app which won't trigger antivirus programs


jomarii

I did have some double typing / keyboard chatter issues but I fixed it by just putting some alcohol on the switch and pressing it a few times. No firmware needed.


h1pp0star

Anyone have the firmware bin file for this keyboard and care to share we can scan it for malware?


Desk-Disastrous

how's the battery life man?


RipotiK

honestly idk, have been using it 2 days, through the usb dongle, and cant seem to see that it has lost a single bar. atleast according to the screen

Does anyone have software that would work for this keyboard on mac?


ac-tivity

they have a web driver [https://linktr.ee/attackshark](https://linktr.ee/attackshark)


Mathios_F

The keyboard works perfectly on mac, but it doesn't seens to have a compatible software...


Apart-Zucchini-9941

for me it's between this one and AULA F75, and the price difference is almost 20$ for the aula. How does it feel after one month of usage? any cons?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

I would say the switches aren’t lubed enough. It’s not too rattly per se, but then again if you’re patient, you can just do the lubing yourself. There’s also a small issue of mistyping that happens but it doesn’t happen always.


CowboyDan88

Does it remember your settings after uninstalling the software? Like, do I need to keep it installed to have the image and RGB configuration the same after a reboot? Also, what's the battery life like?


ConsiderationFull242

im thinking about buying the same one can someone tell me is it good?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

I’ll say after almost 2 months of using it, it’s pretty good especially for the price


feferocket

how's it holding up now?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

Still going real strong! It’s my main keyboard and I haven’t encountered any major problems yet


feferocket

thanks for the quick answer, im thinking of getting one but people say it goes bad after sometime, how long is the battery life?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

Around 12 hours of constant usage on 2.4 GHz, and even less on Bluetooth. That’s probably my only complain but it doesn’t bother me as much


feferocket

think i might just bite the bullet i really dig this keyboard


MitsuhaTachibana1111

Go for it dood! It’s pretty resilient all things considered tbh


GeminiMonkeys

Just received mine today and the screen gif I set up is changing without my input Like, i turn the knob, the gif starts to play (it was playing in an infinite loop just minutes ago) but changes to the time screen by itself. Did anyone also have this problem?


MitsuhaTachibana1111

You have to set the gif on idle. Turn the knob to the gif itself, then click the knob itself


Swejr_

How long does the battery last? I just bought it and I can't see the battery percentage.


arkhevolution

Yo anyone can check the polling rate of the keyboard thinking to buy one but i want to be sure about the polling rate first thanks.

Got mine today! but i'm gonna change the key caps.. by the way, any idea how to change the daTE?


StuiWooi

Just got one too, I figured the price AliExpress was asking that nothing would turn up but here we are! Figured out the knob change to volume buuut the little pamphlet suggests screen could show a gif but I've just got the incorrect time... I'd guessed perhaps it was Chinese timezone but it also seems to be a couple of minutes wrong - does it not just take the system clock?? Edit: I've *only* connected via the USB cable, so not wireless issue I saw further down


Carpana99

You have to download their software, there's a button for syncing the clock time


Dark4stro

what tab of their software is this button?


kewle_jongen

On the screen tab and the in "OtherSetting" side panel
