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

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

Its not a full sized keyboard, im frustrated using it on my sons pc whenever i do so, he likes it for gaming but typing anything on it is painful coming from a standard keyboard (which is all fine and good as this isnt a standard keyboard!) but my dislike is the cheap feel of it - the sound, the feel, the bounce of the keys just isnt nice - this is all very subjective so YMMV but id never want to use this long term. On the plus side - LED lights :) - it seems that everything must have glowing lights on it for it to be used for gaming.. so this does as well. full spectrum lights - just because. It comes with a keycap puller so i guess you could customize the heck out of it if you really wanted to but im VERY sure it will stay as it is. just MEH by me.

I was so excited after seeing that you could get this keyboard in alternate colors other than black and on top of that you can specify the types of key switches you want loaded in! Pink was my keyboard color choice and I opted for the Brown silent switches as I love the look of the keyboard and I didnt want to be able to hear it through my headset during use. It worked out perfectly. Completely driverless, plug and play, RGB controls, Volume controls, storable profiles for different RGB settings, all on this tiny keyboard with the help of a simple Fn key (which will become your best friend if you use arrow keys or the F1-F12 keys often) That becomes easy and not too awkward to use quickly/mindlessly. Aesthetics are amazing, petite size, solid build quality (it seriously feels like I could drive a nail through my wall with this thing), bright RGBs with dozens of settings/effects, and hot-swappable if you like to tinker and customize your switches/key caps! All bought, customized and delivered in under 24 hours! Props to the manufacturer and my delivery driver<3

When I got it, it worked great, but I wanted to change the LED lighting. I went to the manufacturers website and downloaded the software. I started it up and it told me it needed updating, so I clicked update. The program crashed and the keyboard went black. I unplugged it and plugged it in again and the keyboard came back to life. I stated the program again and it told me the same thing. I went back to the website from the manufacturer and it had an updated firmware download. I downloaded that and ran the program again. Now, the keyboard is basically a black brick and nothing I can find to fix it helps. The manufacturers say to take it up with the seller. They are very unhelpful. I am sending it back for a replacement and this is not Amazons fault. Its a great keyboard, but dont trust the manufacturers website.

I bought the Gateron Optical Red keyboard with a black frame for the outside. The keyboard I got is good for gaming but its pretty loud at night when playing your games. It has a good variety of the colors and modes. It also has a good reaction time. I would reamend this keyboard.

I love this keyboard no problems at all , inexpensive overall great product!

Wow! For $50, finding a hot swappable 60% RGB Mechanical Keyboard is just mind boggling! I’ve had this keyboard for a few weeks now, and I must say I’m very impressed with it. The first thing that stood out to me when I used this keyboard was that the Gateron Optical Switches are SOOO SMOOTH. Seriously though, they’re smoother than the regular Gateron Switches (Non-optical) and they put Cherry Mx Switches in the dirt. This keyboard also comes with software to add macros, change lighting, etc. However, I’ve been told that it is complete garbage. The features that this keyboard provides for the price highly outweighs it’s garbage software, which is why I’m giving this 5 stars. The keyboard is only hot swappable with Gateron Optical Switches that you can purchase on epathbuy. The build quality of this keyboard is solid as well, having a backplate made entirely out plastic, it still feels like a premium product. The keyboard comes with feet rests on the back and this allows the keyboard to not move around at all when you’re typing or gaming. My only con is that it only comes with 2 switch options and doesn’t come with more switch options such as the Gateron Optical Reds, Blacks, Yellows, Silvers, etc. Overall, this keyboard destroys any other on this website for the price and I recommend it to anyone trying to find a good quality 60% optical mechanical hot swappable keyboard with RGB backlights for a cheap price.

I wanted to get into the world of keyboard modding and wanted to start out with something cheap and simple. I opted for mechanical Gateron Yellow switches because a lot the modding community praise those switches. Initial thoughts were that these switches were the right move. It is linear with a good amount of force needed, good for typing and gaming. I am coming from Corsair K95 with Cherry MX speed switches and these Gaterons feel a bit nicer for typing. The mods I incorporated includes: Car sound dampening foam (dynamat), PE foam between PCB and casing, PE foam between plate and PCB, HOLEE mod, and G205 G0 lubed switches. All of this combined, equates to a superb typing experience. The space bar is smooth and thocky. The default key caps leaves a tingy feedback sound and doesn’t thock as I had intended, so I’m looking to upgrade to double-shot PBT switches in the near future. The weight of the keyboard barebones out of the box is slightly on the heavy side already. This is probably due to the steel metal plate is uses. A surprise to me for how cheap this keyboard is. It is slightly heavier now, which is what I want, in order to achieve a more thocky sound. The additional weight comes from the car sound dampening foam. If you’re on the fence about grabbing a 60% keyboard for cheap and want to mod it, this is a good move for beginners not wanting to break the bank.

Been using it for a month now, no issues at all. Great for gaming and typing up essays if you’re in school like me.
