    Great budget keyboard - one small flaw
    It is a great keyboard, good budget one. Unfortunately for me I hadn’t paid attention that this keyboard is optical meaning the switches I had bought prior weren’t compatible with this keyboard. That is the only issue though, using this has been fine although I will most likely switch to a keyboard that is compatible with the switches I bought.

    Great keyboard
    I use this for gaming all the time. It feels incredibly smooth and clean. The LED lights are also really smooth and the keyboard overall is pretty easy to use and figure out. My only complaint is that the instructions are somewhat unclear but apart from that very easy to use and overall a pretty good product.

    This is my first keyboard to FULLY mod and I have to say.. I'm quite impressed with the switches but the stabs are atrocious... So I had to order some extra but that's what I was going to do anyway ... Over all solid 8 out of 10

    Absolute steal!
    Bought it for my brother and he loves it. He’s a beefy one and the keyboard is the perfect size for him I worried it be a bit small. Lo and behold it’s bright, great reaction time, sounds beautiful and most importantly he loves it. I’ll have to buy one for myself soo

    decent for pricepoi
    i use this keyboard for regular gaming – you can tell it feels like a budget board but for general gaming and not a high budget would deffinetly reccomend.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPLEASE READ
    Honestly this is a very good keyboard, has great RGB (Lighting) and just feels good. There are only 2 THINGS I DISLIKE about this keyboard. It is very small in my opinion even though its normal for gaming keyboards to be small this one feels very small. What really bothers me is that it makes so much noise it depends on the switch you get but it was super loud. When my brother would use the keyboard in the morning he would wake me up to the sound of clickity-clackity. In other terms DON’T BUY IF YOU DONT LIKE LOUD KEYBAORDS! Other than that I really like the 18 or something RGB functions from right out the box.
    Thanks for reading

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGreat for the price
    First of all I had to return one lavender GK61 keyboard I got which was faulty due to the equals and plus /f12 (=+) key was triggering the whole top right set of keys ({[]}=+ and enter) so that’s mainly why I gave 4 stars, another thing is that the keyboard feels quite sensitive which can be a bad thing for gaming for example resting my finger on key caps sometimes select that key, this can be annoying when playing a game like Fortnite when your ready your finger on a building key and it accidentally triggers.

    Some good things on the GK61. Hot-swappable switches gives you a the chance to upgrade. the typing experience which is smooth and satisfying, the sound of the keys are a little clicky and thoccy ( Gateron mechanical yellows), the color of the keyboard is very accurate to the listing image’s and the rgb is very vibrant and has a lot of customizability with the app.

    Overall the GK61 is worth the 69.99 price tag due to the pleasing experience I’ve had so far with typing and performance in long gaming sessions.

    he keyboard is great for its budget, but there’s just tiny things about it that just make it pretty bad. This is a keyboard that you mod and don’t really use it stock, like the key caps are noticeably wobbly when you really focus on it and the rgb isn’t the brightest so overall i give this keyboard a 6.5/10

    This is a great product but the led lights on the keyboard don’t work for me and I’m trying to reach out to the people of the keyboard if any body could help!

    Missing an A key but great typing experience
    Arrived quickly less than 24 hours. Really enjoyed the typing experience, the button still works as an A key but ‘a’ key cap is missing there’s also no replacement keys.

    Would be great if I could get the key sent out.

    All Good, except a Typo on my Keyboard.
    The keyboard is good, but I got a typo on my keyboard kry (two esc keys instead of ‘1!’)

    Deciding whether to keep it or return it because I really like the keyboard.

    Update: They were kind enough to give me a refund of 10 and keep the keyboard(I can just replace the key now). So 5 stars for that.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersEverything is great... except the software
    Currently writing this on my GK61 with silver switches which I have used for about a month now, the keeb is great, mine came pre lubed and sounds alright stock. The main issue I have is the tacky software, which feels like a very unexperienced person put up in 10 minutes. Its extremly buggy, and I found it was difficult to manuever. Other than that, the layout may be difficult to adapt to, as it uses an American ISO Layout.

    Amazing Keyboard!
    Keyboard was amazing! Was trying out a pre-built to see how it was (after not using a pre-built for a good few years), and the gk61 was surprisingly good! 100% reccomened to anyone who wants to try out pre-builds or just anyone who is looking for the best keyboard apart from a few, and the price for this keyboard i’d personally say is way under!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGreat quality keyboard, perfect for custom build, not fan of silent brown switches
    I bought this keyboard for the purpose of modding it, replacing the switches and keycaps etc. I ordered the silent brown switches even though I was going to replace them with jelly blacks. The silent browns had a good tactility however were very scratchy and not my personal liking. However, the quality and build of the board and PCB itself is excellent and was perfect for my needs since I was replacing the switches anyway. I paid 60 on offer for this keyboard and for that price it was 100% worth it. The RGB LEDs are bright and the software is ok but if you’re looking for a keyboard to mod this is the one for you!
