HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron Optical Brown)

It’s not high quality.It just covers the keyboard so you won’t get crumbs or stuff in your keyboard.That’s all it does.

It was a little small

I think for a $50 dollar keyboard it is amazing. Im on a heavy budget but I also love to game and this keyboard has done everything I want it to do. I would recommend for someone on a budget or on a unlimited budget to get this keyboard. I will say its a small keyboard so dont expect it to be even average size at all. The best thing about it is the weight and the build quality of this keyboard. Also the response time is very impressive and I have no faulty issues when gaming. It picks up every key I push and I was surprised because I find myself accidently bumping keys (I have fat finger). 10/10 for the first keyboard I own.

First off it’s beautiful, the RGB is pretty bright and more appealing to the eye than all the other keyboards ive owned. Great quality in my opinion, and i got the gateron silent brown switches and oooo weee they feel amazing. Silent and perfect for when my wife wants to sleep and i wanna game. I will update this if i run into any issues but so far first day im in love. Especially with the price. Now it did come with a bent box and the keyboard was not covered with the plastic covering it was just sitting in the box but that could be maybe they needed to change the switches to the ones i wanted. But not an issue at all. Its the packaging.

An excellent mechanical keyboard with optical switches that is around $60.00 dollars. That sentence feels crazy to say, but its the gosh darn truth. This review is mainly for the Gateron Red Optical switch version of this keyboard. Pros 1. Hot-swappable. If a switch dies just pull it out and replace it (not likely to happen considering no metal leaf), or get some different Gateron Optical switches like blacks or yellows to change the entire feel of the keyboard. Example, these red switches are incredibly easy to press. I really like how smooth the linear switch is, so Id probably want to get some Gateron Optical Black switches. 2. Programmable. A really underappreciated plus is definitely going to be the software of this keyboard. Its not in English, but it definitely still gets the job done. There are also Macros which I have started to use more often. Example, I was able to change around my Home and End keys so that they are more comfortably near the Function key. 3. That FAST response time. There is a noticeable difference between pressing a Cherry MX Blue switch down and having the character move and pressing this linear optical switch down and having the character move. I think there are two reasons for this. a. The reason that actually matters, the switch actuation point is higher at 1.5 mm versus a Cherry MX Blue being at 2.00 mm. b. The optical nature of the switch is said to have a response time of 0.2 mm. I dont know if this actually matters in the long run, but its good to know that it may be faster. Cons 1. The key caps are okay, but I do think these switches need O-rings to be perfect. I think the sound of the key caps is my biggest issue with them; they just sound cheap and the O-rings keep them from hitting the bottom plate. My second issue is that they dont have a lot of texture to them so theyre kind of like in-between being smooth and textured which is just not a good feeling at all. 2. Certain keys are not programmable. For some reason all of the keys that change lighting effects and swab profiles cant be disabled. I think this would be my only real problem with the keyboard on the software level. 3. THIS IS A PET PEEVE. I like the RGB, the screws guys, but come on. Theyre not black nor are they white, just plain silver. I cant not see them. They stare at me between the key caps. Neutral 1. Theres a microphone in the keyboard for the Music back-lighting mode. I plan to mod this keyboard more, so Ill probably end up desoldering the microphone anyways. I wish it was more software and went by the audio playing on the computer since that would be sick. Current modifications: PBT key caps and O-rings. Queued modifications: Better stabilizers, desolder microphone, I plan to replace the O-rings with some type of foam insert that will dampen noise more and result in less fatigue, and I want to refine my function key layout and figure out some macros.

I updated the software of the keyboard and as a result my keyboard no longer worked. Support didn’t offer any way to fix it other than replacement. After lubing the switches, changing the key caps and stabilizers, and filling the inside with foam, this keyboard sounds and feels great. Perfect for anyone looking for a beginner keyboard to mod. As a stock keyboard, it’s nothing special. Gets the job done. Stock stabilizers are sub par and without lubing the switches it feels like any other mechanical linear switch (a little scratchy but good feel otherwise). The hollow case will amplify the spring sound of your switches so without filling it with foam and lubing your switches it will be audible.

Its being a while since I purchased this keyboard and hasnt failed me in nothing, all commands work properly and as it is hot swap you can customize the switches whenever you want, also the keycaps. I choose silent brown switch and is the best relationship with the price.

This keyboard is alright, I guess a semi alternative version of the huntsman mini if you want something close to being as responsive as it, it didn’t live up to the standards I got put in my head after hearing reviews on responsiveness. Also, The Cheap keycaps hitting the plastic board is flat out annoying, but eh it is what it is and just like with all keyboards you can lube the switches and sound dampen it for better sound after all of that it is so bad after all. I just wouldn’t recommend maining this keyboard when there’s way for potential out there

Really happy with quality of product.

Got it for my kid for Christmas.. he says so far it is working good. If things change will let ya know!
