Lenovo has released a new budget keyboard in China called the Aurora GK1077 Lite. It is priced at 129 yuan, which converts to roughly $19. For that price, it includes a few hardware features that are typically found on more expensive models, such as a built-in status display, a rotary knob, and three different ways to connect to your devices.
Lenovo Aurora GK1077 Lite Specifications
The keyboard uses a compact 77-key layout, often referred to as a 70% layout. This design removes the number pad and some navigation keys to save desk space. It measures 332 x 143 x 40.7mm and weighs about 680 grams. The outer shell features a translucent, frosted top cover with rounded edges, and it comes in three pastel colors: Ice Mist Blue, Milk Coffee Orange, and Peach Pink. The keycaps are made from ABS plastic using the standard Cherry profile, and they include printed secondary functions to help navigate the smaller layout.
On the top right corner, there is a small screen and a multi-function knob. The screen displays basic system information, including the current battery percentage, charging status, and which connection mode is currently active. The knob controls volume by default, you can turn it to adjust the audio or press it to mute. If you hold the knob down for three seconds, it switches to lighting mode, allowing you to adjust the brightness of the keyboard’s RGB backlight and cycle through different colors.
Instead of mechanical switches, the GK1077 Lite uses silicone keys with a cushioning structure. This setup is designed to absorb the impact of keystrokes and reduce typing noise, making it a practical option for shared offices or quiet environments. It has a 125Hz polling rate and a 26-key rollover system, which means it can register up to 26 key presses at once without input errors.
For connectivity, the keyboard supports a wired USB-C connection, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless. The Bluetooth mode can pair with two separate devices, and the 2.4GHz USB receiver can be stored in a small compartment under the right kickstand. It works with both Windows and macOS, and includes specific shortcuts to switch between the two operating system layouts.
Inside, the keyboard runs on a 4,000mAh rechargeable battery. It also includes an NTC temperature monitoring system to manage heat while charging. The RGB backlighting has 14 preset effects, and you can customize the lighting further using the Lenovo Aurora software, which also syncs with other compatible Lenovo devices.
