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 is well unexpectedly small, which I will chalk up to my fault I didnt pay enough attention to the diagram. But to say it is for gaming I would disagree with, if your anything like me, it is WAY to small to be useful for gaming. My first thought when I opened the packaging was Did I order a kid keyboard? I mean looking back at the measurements it is less than the length of a ruler. I also paid alot of attention to the diagram provided about the keys and wether they made an audio click or not and purchased accordingy. I got the Optical Red which say that it has NO AUDIBLE CLICK. The first message I get from my fiance all day was Ewww I HATE that! The keyboard clicks! Which was very annoying because I thought I looked up all the terminology and lingo for keyboard so I could get one that satisfies all of our requirements for a keyboard. I ended up getting a full size keyboard with probably just as much color customization along with a magnetic wrist rest for $10 less. The Steel Series Apex 3 with Whisper Quiet Gaming Switch keys. They are genuinely quiet. More on that in the review for that keyboard. For the few minutes I did use it, it was definitely not what I was looking for. Although I hope this review helps someone that is looking for a keyboard just like this! Everybody has their kimd of keyboard. Unfortunately I cant provide a picture because Im already in the process of returning it. Be sure that you read the measurements before buying this.

I received a US variant, and because of that I cant use the software to program my own layers. This is not a massive deal breaker, but its annoying because Im unable to use some hot key combinations because the arrows keys are on a Fn layer but the CTRL/WIN/ALT keys are not. There supposedly used to be software available on the companys website, but the companys website no longer exists. Theres one in Chinese, but the software doesnt recognize the US products. If you plan to buy this as an intro keyboard, its great. You can replace the plate, PCB, switches, case, etc. Id probably recommend replacing the PCB first if you want to go step by step simply because the included PCB isnt programmable. Overall, youre better off just getting a DIY kit and just doing your assembly up front, but if youre short on cash and just want to get a 60% keyboard that you can slowly upgrade, then by all means get this. If you want a portable keyboard, by all means get this. But if you want a programmable keyboard to fully replace a larger keyboard, this might not be your best shot.

Bought for my step son for his birthday and he loves it

Good skyboard just not water proof and now it doesn’t work for some reason

Ill start off with saying this is my first mechanical keyboard, and this feels wayyyy better than a rubber-dome keyboard. The RBG doesnt look too bad and I like the feel of it. The Software for customization isnt terrible but I dont have much to go off of. 2 year update: after using this for 2 years Ive begun to see the issues and problems this has such as the wobbly keys and stabilizers. the software which i havent touched in almost a year the software is okay but that is it, nothing too impressive and the profiles are very confusing and pretty useless adding trouble when i try to use the arrow keys and wasd at the same time.

I think this is a great budget board. I got the brown switches and they feel pretty great. The software is not HORRIBLE but its not amazing either. I just watched a youtube video on how to change the static colors and it was pretty straight forward. RGB lighting is horrible. Definitely cannot get just white backlighting, it looks like 3 different colors at once. I tried to change to a few other static colors through the software and it looks like it wasnt able to achieve that color. I also could hear a faint humming when I changed the color to white or light blue. This isnt a huge deal since I like to use it without the lighting anyway. I ended up switching out the keycaps for the corn 61 joker keycaps and it looks and feels awesome.

If you are new to mechanical keyboards, like I am, I would suggest asking yourself a couple questions before buying. For example, my main problem with this keyboard and why I am returning it is because they have no dedicated arrow keys. Actually, I knew they didnt, but I thought they would at least give you the option to toggle the fn key for your arrow keys. Its a great keyboard over all, and if you want something cheap, rgb, and you dont really use the arrow keys, then this one is a good buy

My grandson loves that it’s small and lights up.

This keyboard is highly recommended, its a great keyboard in terms of responsiveness and Build quality, while also being hot swappable. One thing I disliked about this keyboard however is the malfunctioning of led on the home row and a failed led on the d key.

I love this clacky clacky keyboard , the lighting options are really easy to set up the app is really easy to use and the macros are really simple to set up. Its very very inexpensive for what it is its very well built and I love the feel of it!
