GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron Optical Brown)
GK61 is a standard-sized 60% keyboard featuring RGB backlighting, USB-C wired connection, and optical switches . The USB-C cable is detachable for convenience of portability.
Optical switches are much more durable than conventional mechanical keyboard switches and are rated for 100 million keystrokes.
They have a high actuation point of 1.5mm for fast response. Light Strike optical switches utilize a horizontal infrared beam which is transmitted across the width of the inner keyswitch.
The infrared beam is normally blocked from reaching a sensor across from it by the stem. Once a switch is pressed, the switch stem no longer blocks the infrared beam and the beam is detected by the sensor, which activates the switch.
Due to the optical mechanism, an optical switch has an extremely fast response time of 0.2ms, which means faster reactions in those times where timing is critical, such as when gaming.

Excellent gaming keyboard
Bought for my son which he loves. He says it’s an excellent gaming Keyboard
Great keyboard for gaming and typing. The lights are dope and I got the hyperx white pudding keycaps for it. Would 100% recommend this keyboard to anyone looking to try out a 60%. P.S. buy a wrist rest you will thank yourself later.

Purchased for my 12 year old. He was very satisfied with the look, size and quality of the unit. I’m not a gamer so that’s all the info I can provide.

Brilliant keyboard!
This keyboard is brilliant for the price and the red switches sound really nice. The keys stabilizers are also really good its just the spacebar that needs a little improvement otherwise the keyboard is great.

Good Gaming keyboard
I am happy with Gk61 and I am glad that my choice was the silver switch which is still fast for me just need time but the keyboard is good and I don’t feel eny different between this one and some of the big and expensive brands in the market.
Simply put, you can’t go wrong with this. I was hesitant to buy this because my work requires arrow keys and fn keys but it works just fine. Another plus point is that they’re optical switches, she I don’t see them failing anytime soon. I was using the logi G413 which was a nightmare with key breakages, the double actuation issues. Worthy upgrade. Chose this over the HyperX Alloy Origins and so far I don’t regret this choice. I bought the Gateron Brown Variant because I game less and type more

Buena Calidad/Precio
Pros:
-El teclado no tiene flex.
-Suave como mantequilla.
-Fuerza de actuacin alta y consistente(Gateron negros)
Contras:
-Las teclas especiales pueden causar un confusin en el primer setup.
-El software es poco intuitivo
-No se puede ajustar la altura del teclado
Notas:
-Los keycaps estan un poco nublados y con un tono rosa claro.
En general es un buen teclado para lo que cuesta, un upgrade en definitivo si nadamas has estado usando teclados de membrana o memcanicos,un sidegrade su usaste cherrys o khale switches
El software es poco intuitivo y un poco rebuscado en cuanto a su manejo, una vez que ya lo lograste hacer lo que necesitabas el resto va sin complicaciones
Like the fact that it is a 60% keyboard so it fits comfortably on the desk without any issue. However, the software is quite complex to operate compared to other brand such as: Corsair and Logitech. Also, the keyboard does give some rattle noises. In conclusion, I would give it an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
Best Beginner Keyboard When Lubed!
After many hours of research and videos of which keyboard I should get, I ended up getting the GK61 as a beginner board (budget AND hot-swappable!) I followed a few videos (How to EASILY Lube an Optical Mechanical Keyboard by Hipyo Tech.. Absolutely amazing tutorial you should follow.)
I lubed with Super Lube 510510 (available on Amazon) by pressing the optical browns down and squirt on each corner. Works like magic! Highly, highly recommended!!!! Also added foam behind the PCB and plate, which makes the typing experience sound/feel so much better!!
Cannot recommended this keyboard enough. Budget FTW!
100% recommend
Bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it, says the switches are so fast and good
El teclado funciona de maravilla, no es espaol pero se puede utilizar perfectamente, lo he utilizado en la oficina durante mas de 2 semanas para probar si se puede utilizar para trabajar y si, no me dado ningn problema, se pueden escribir corres e informes perfectamente.
Le cambie los kikups por unos de mejor calidad y esttica, no me importa si no tiene la en el teclado ya que suelo escribir sin mirar y mis dedos van solos. Toda esta resea la escribo utilizando el teclado, una maravilla para personalizar a tu gusto tanto estticamente como programar el teclado para sus funciones, macros, juegos…
Buena calidad RGB y resto a la espera de recibir swiches para cambiar terminar una personalizacin perfecta para mi, lo compre con los brown y me gustan bastante al tacto.
Mi hijo esta feliz
Mi hijo lo usa tanto para jugar como para su escuela
Very good value mechanical keyboard
Very high quality keyboard for the price. I got mine with the gateron reds and the feeling is amazing. The size of they keyboard gets some getting used to. Mainly missing the arrow keys but makes up for the quality and feel and the space it frees up. Only downside now it’s a US layout but I’m sure I gat get some keys for a UK keyboard somewhere
Received this pretty soon with prime and first impressions were positive; I like the switches a lot, despite them being a lot more sensitive than I’m used to and the caps feel ok. What got me though was the US layout, because I’d read that people said the laout was UK ISO layout and was obviously putting my money on it being something more familiar. It was not.
Lovely keyboard though!

Lives up to descriptio
My 15 year old loves it. Small and responsive, it’s what he hoped it would be like.
Got the optical silvers with custom SA keycaps and modded it with foam. Buy this keyboard now! it's factory lubed and feels amazing and good quality!

This is a fantastic keyboard for the price. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, but as I have an AMD system and therefore the Razer Huntsman Mini breaks my computer, I had to look at other options for a 60% keyboard. This one came highly recommended and I can see why – it feels so good to type on and the RGB lighting is quite customisable even without the software installed. I would definitely recommend the silver switches as they are butter smooth with just the right amount of actuation force. The best part is that even if you don’t like the switches that come preinstalled, they are fully modular so you can pull them out and install ones that you prefer. The one thing I will criticise is the cable it comes with is rather short at 1.6 meters, so I had to use one of my own. That being said, it connects via USB type C so having the option to use your own cable is a boon all of its own. If you’re in the market for a 60% you could certainly do worse than one of these guys.

It’s a wonderful hotswappable opto mechanical keyboard with Gateron yellows which are linear
I have added foam in the base and I gave lubed the switches with super lube and have put the custom Akko world tour Tokyo keycaps and the keyboard is amazing to type on and also for gaming. It’s a fast switch and buttery smooth after the mods.
It is great even at stock but better when modded
The price is also very reasonable. A couple of months ago it was around 14K like so many other 60% keyboards on Amazon India where sellers list prices of keyboards which costs $50-$200 as high as INR 15000- 45000 ( plz regulate the prices …. it’s daylight robbery )

Great keyboard
Amazing keyboard especially in white with black switches, would recommend for and entry level 60% mechanical keyboard.
Don’t fall for the “fastest keyboard in the world” scheme. You will not notice the difference between optical switches and mechanical switches. Although, it is hot swappable which makes it convenient for a beginner getting into the hobby of keyboards. I would personally go for the MZ60 instead as it is compatible with any mechanical switch, whereas this keyboard only supports gateron opticals.

I bought the Gateron Brown ones. The only objective negative I found its the keycaps and its stabilization. The ABS keycaps aren’t as sturdy as PBT ones and the keys wobbles a bit. Doesn’t affect its performance but does feel cheap. RGB is great. Arrow keys can be permanently switched on. Gap between keys is appreciated. Great for gaming and typing.
The subjective negative is that brown switches aren’t good at feedback. The bump you feel is very slight, plasticky, feels almost like annoying pothole on the road rather than a good bump. Compared to metallic ‘click’ from the blues, these feel nothing. My light fingers could only feel them while I typed slowly, not while gaming nor while typing fast. And its not “silent” you will hear the “clack” when the plastic keycap hits the plastic base when pressed hard, present in every keyboard, which does make loud noise. The only silence is there is no metallic click sound.

Broken switch not function properly.
Product is amazing but unfortunately one of the key is broken not properly function. It’s would be great if the key was not broken and function properly.
I was a bit hesitant to order this keyboard, First, this being my first 60% keyboard and second, this being my first ever mechanical keyboard xD , and also I’m a software dev, so the keyboard is a thing that you can’t mess with it. If you aren’t comfortable with it then you can’t write code on it; it’s as simple as that. I’ve used other mechanical keyboards, The Logitech and also the HyperX alloy, I know Arrow keys Section plays a big role when you are coding and also even when you are just surfing on the internet and I’m telling you this with my own experience, you will not feel any difference! You just have to give it some time to get your brain used to it. (It took approx 2 days for me) and also it comes with software and some layers so if you’re a computer geek just like me, then you can tweak some stuff there, play with macros, LEDs, and all, but it’s on you. If Hyperx is out of your budget and you are looking for a normal usage mechanical keyboard then this keyboard surely will be the best option for you at this moment.
PROS: everything is programmable., doesn’t have a clicky sound, optical switches, comfy and compact design.
CONS: keycaps can be an issue here, but you can change them if you have some spare money in your hand. that’s the only reason I’m giving it a 5 star Rating, company should provide PBT keycaps at least for WASD keys and also command and other keys for MAC, just like other companies do.
Lleva switches pticos, pero es un buen teclado mecnico para empezar.
Adems se pueden cambiar los keycaps (no son PCB) y los switches (siempre que sean pticos), lo que permite poder seguir usndolo a lo largo del tiempo.
El software es algo complejo de utilizar, pero tampoco es totalmente necesario para utilizar el teclado.
La distribucin por defecto es US Ansii, pero se pueden comprar keycaps para convertirlo en un teclado con distribucin en espaol.
Great purchase
Son loves it, especially as he can change light settings
El mejor teclado óptico calidad precio
Es uno de los mejores teclados que eh probado con los switches silver y aunque sean lineales si le cambias las keycaps a unas de pbt hacen un sonido como si fueran blue y suena muy satisfactorio y se nota mucho la diferencia de un switch tradicional a uno ptico y si son muchos ms rpidos y ms duraderos los llev ocupando por alrededor de 2 meses
The GK61 with Gateron Silver Switches has one of the fastest actuation points in the world. I would highly recommend it with either Silver or Yellow switches if you are a competitive gamer. The actuate almost as soon as you press the key, and the fact that the switches are linear makes them smooth and satisfying to press.

I was looking for this keyboard everywhere but here it was telling mee 7000 but I bought it for 5000 it is very nice deal and all key register well and I have no complain it’s switch and stabiliser are nice also I will prefer this over any keyboard
The gk61 with yellow switches is the way to go. for the people who play fortnite I recommend this keybored it is fast and because it’s a smaller keybored you have more space on your mouse pad

Super impressive construction, insane value.
This is one solid little keyboard. Great premium feel at a fraction of the cost of similar ‘custom’ keyboards. The software is great once you figure it out (it’s not that hard despite the critical reviews)
I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a gaming keyboard!
great keyboard!
its great keyboard everything is good except the space bar rattles a lot overall very good keyboard for the price.
The response time with speed silver switches is amazing i would buy this again trust.

Gk61
Me en canto buen rgb
Pero se tard unos das ms de de lo que debera. Sin embargo es exelente
It’s a really good and kinda clicky keyboard. It’s got light-up functions and Bluetooth.
PROS:
-El tamao lo hace portable, lo cual es conveniente.
-El tamao tambin deja ms espacio en el escritorio para usar a placer el mouse cuando juegas. Antes tena un teclado completo y a cada rato chocaba con el teclado sobre todo en FPS.
-Luces brillantes, los LED y el color blanco hacen resaltar los efectos y colores!!
-Montones de efectos de luz!!! y varios layers para poner efectos customizados.
-Compr el teclado con los switches BROWN, y es un placer super suave teclear en ellos, mucho mejor que sonido agudo de click de otros switches.
-El cable es de excelente calidad USB C, con cubierta tejida.
-Excelente para programar si te acostumbras a teclear con la distribucion en Ingls.
CONS:
-Es teclado en Ingls, si ests acostumbrado a un teclado en espaol entonces requieres configurar ste como teclado ingls internacional para poder poner acentos y la virgulilla arriba de la , de hecho estoy usando este teclado ahora mismo y apenas estoy haciendo memoria muscular en los dedos para sacar los caracteres en espaol. Pero vale la pena honestamente.
-El software de configuracin es bastante crptico, te toma algo de tiempo tratar de encontrar cmo funciona y dnde moverle para instalar nuevos efectos.
-No tiene pies de goma de los que se sacan para levantar la parte trasera, aunque no es tanto problema en realidad.
Al final le puse 5 estrellas porque el precio es un super deal comparado con lo que te d, y es un super placer teclear en este teclado y se v increble la verdad, es fcil ignorar los pocos contras.
The quality of the keyboard is great but the keys are just a bit shakey. I recommend buying the HyperX key caps for 60% keyboards because they fit great and are also good quality.

No le pide nada a Raze
Excelente. Si se nota la calidad mas reducida del plstico si lo comparas con un teclado razer pero los switches azules se parecen bastante en la sensacin tctil a mi Huntsman. Solo me parece un poco extrao que el teclado tiene un micrfono en algn lugar para la iluminacin reactiva en lugar de tomar el audio de la pc, por lo que no funciona con audfonos. Lo uso para juegos competitivos ya que mi DPI del mouse es muy bajo, necesito una superficie amplia y el huntsman es demasiado largo, mientras que ste TKL es super reducido. Jams me ha dado problemas ni ghosting y de nuevo, reemplaz a un teclado Razer sin pedirle nada. Super Recomendado.
Recomendado
Excelente teclado gamer, rapidez en respuesta, rgb con diferentes cambios de luces y el sensor de sonido le da un plus
Teclado calidad-precio muy bueno
Muy bien teclado fcil de aprender a usar sus atajos, mucha personalizaci
I have had many 60% keyboard’s in the past however, this is my best one yet! Highly recommend this keyboard and it is totally worth it at it’s price point!!!!
Die Tastatur sieht sehr gut aus,vorallem wenn es dunkel im Raum ist.Durch die Gateron Optical Yellows fhlt sich die Tastatur unfassbar schnell an. Ich hatte vorher eine Apex Pro aber die Gk61 fhlt sich nochmal so viel schneller an.
Ich kann die Tastatur mit Yellow Switchs nur empfeheln.

El mejor reemplazo para un teclado completo
Opte por cambiarme a este teclado por el espacio necesario para jugar, pase de tener un teclado Corsair K70 enorme a este de 60% y la verdad es la mejor inversin que he realizado, responde rpido, aumenta el espacio del escritorio, su ruido puede ser un poco fuerte para muchos, pero cuando ya estas jugando creme que no vas a notar nada, llevo ya usndolo por un par de meses y es la mejor compra que he realizado
Pros.
– Excelente material
– Muy buena sensacin al tacto
– Buena construccin y iluminacin del producto
Cons. (ninguna que afecte el producto)
– El software es un poco bsico y confuso
– Tardaras un poco en acostumbrarte al uso pero despus es una joya
Great first day impressions. There’s no flex or squeaking to the frame, and you get a decent length braided cable. The optional software is tricky, but I managed to get a fully custom layout eventually. Go to the ‘Driver1’ tab and there’s a green cursor button somewhere on the colour palette. You can then click individual keys to apply that colour.
Good starter 60% Keyboard!
I really enjoy this 60% keyboard, frees up a lot of valuable desk space and the Gateron Brown switches are really, really nice!
The added lettering on some of the keys let you know which key you are hitting when using FN which is nice.
Sadly its an all plastic build basically and it has a white backplate which would be nice if it was black to give it that all black look.
I think if you are looking for a beginner 60% to start modding this is a good one to go with, and if you’re looking for a compact keyboard with nice switches for gaming, this is also a good one to go with!
Works well with PS4 on COD Warzone with the steel series rival 3 mouse
Es la primera vez que utilizo un teclado del 60%, al principio me costo mucho el utilizarlo ya que estaba usando uno de 104 teclas, pero con el pasar de los dias me estoy acostumbrando. El RGB me encanta y tiene varios tipos para que selecciones el que mas te guste. Los interruptores son color cafe y estoy satisfecho con la sensacion y sonido que producen. Este teclado es hotswap e hice la prueba con 2 teclas con interruptores negros. El sonido que produce es un poco mas grave que los cafe. Me fue facil quitar el keycap y el interruptor del teclado, asi tambien fue el poner el nuevo interruptor y luego el keycap. Cabe decir que tambien es mi primera experiencia con teclados mecanico, keycaps e interruptores, asi que me experiencia es la de un primerizo en esto.
First impressions ... wow its compact. And it has some weight to it when you pull it out da box. Upon plugging it in, you get a nice professional look to the backlighting. Within about 20 seconds a smile crept across my face. This keyboard might edge out my favourite board. fast, smooth and very few typos. Im not using it for gaming, its for programming and general typing. So yeah, wow. A very unexpected package that screams quality. Im sure you could nitpick something but Ive only had it for about 20 minutes at this point. For the price, and also regardless of the price, I'm really happy with it!

Good quality, I’m just having issues with remove the switches they just won’t budge can anyone help me out?

This keyboard is hands down one of the BEST options for budget 60% keyboards. I have the blackboard with gateron brown switches and custom keycaps and it feels and types really good. The only downside would be the stabilizers on the spacebar which could be fixed by lubing them, however not bad for stock stabs. Very satisfied

Me gusta pero vena sin la llave para sacar los switches
The hardware is great for the price. The software for the lights is hard to navigate around but if the light aren't the main selling point I'd recommend this one.

Tengo un teclado con pad numerico y me ocupaba muchsimo espacio en el escritorio, asi que decid cambiarlo por uno 60% y no me arrepiento. Este teclado es una chulada.
-Rgb bastante luminoso
-Tamao perfecto

This is a sturdy built keyboard for the money it costs. At half the price of other mechanical keyboards, you get a compact keyboard with the essentials. If you don’t want many frills but are looking for a mechanical feel and a 60% format, this is a great buy.
I went through the process of lubing each switch/stabilizer and doing some mods. Out of the box, the keyboard sounds just as any other off-the-shelf mechanical keyboard would sound. After lubing and mods, it sounds like a true high-end mechanical keyboard. Taking the keyboard apart showed the admirable production quality. Nothing is high end, but nothing inside is super cheap either. This will be a durable keyboard that doesn’t seem like it should run into any problems unless there is an issue with the PCB, which is unlikely.
The RGB effects are nice and the customization for macros and lighting is nice. It provides the essentials. The only downside to the lighting is that any colour that isn’t red, green, or blue will be an awkward gradient through the keycaps. For example, orange will be a weird red/green mix with only orange right in the center of the key. White is a gradient from blue, to pink, to purple. I find that it looks cool, but it’s definitely not good at replicating solid colours.
Overall, beautiful keyboard that fits all of my needs. Unless you’re a keyboard enthusiast looking to spend $200 on a 60% keyboard, this is your best bet.
I love this keyboard. Great and sturdy product and good for gaming. I use this to play fortnite on console and I’m amazed at how well the performance is.

Want to try out your first mechanical keyboard?
This is the review you have been looking for!
I have recently switched from an Apple’s wired keyboard to my very first mechanical keyboard. Here is my experience.
General observations:
– Since my old keyboard was low profile and was a membrane keyboard, I needed a bit of practice to get used to the feel.
– This is more personal, but it is quite a bit noisier than a membrane keyboard. Even if I bought the Gateron red switches version, you can hear me type from across the house. (To fix this issue, I will be trying o-rings soon and update this review with some statistics.)
UPDATE! The o-rings helped reduce the noise from the keycap’s plastic hitting the switch. It won’t make a huge difference, but it’s better than nothing when using mechanical keyboards at night.
– Probably the best entry-level mechanical keyboard there is on the market.
Pros:
– This 60 % keyboard still has all the keys you might need on a normal full-size keyboard. You can access these keys using the fn key or lock them by pressing on fn + q/w/e/r. You will have access to the arrow keys, the f1 to f12 keys and the other 9 keys that no one ever uses (insert, delete, page-up, page-down, home, etc). You will NOT have a numpad, although I am pretty sure you can add one through their software. Using a Mac and/or worried about medias keys? You can install Karabiner, which is a software used to remap your keys! I personally switched the Windows key with the left Alt and set my function keys to allow me to change my volume and play or pause my videos using fn + f(something).
– The switches are hot-swappable. You can remove them and replace them with any Gateron switches! I have not tried with other brands (because I do not own any other switches), but the manufacturer said Kalih switches will not work on this keyboard.
– It has an IP rating of 64 for water resistance. That means it is protected from total dust ingress and water spray from any direction.
– The way they curved their keys increases my typing accuracy and comfort.
– Very little wobble on the keys and it will not impede your typing.
– The RGB looks great!
– Small, portable (you can unplug the cable), not too heavy and quite solid. I was not able to twist it.
– It won’t slide on your desk and you can reposition it easily too.
Cons:
– While gaming, the edge (facing my way) on the space bar hurts my thumb. I think a slightly curved edge would offer better ergonomics.
– There is a microphone somewhere under the spacebar for one of the lightning setting. I DO NOT know if it can be used for spying, but I would personally rather remove it. I will be attempting to disassemble the keyboard and check the PCB if it’s easily removeable or if desoldering is required. (I will update this review once it’s done!) THIS MICROPHONE IS NOT MEANT TO RECORD AUDIO. IT IS ONLY FOR THE LIGHTNING EFFECT.
UPDATE! The microphone is round and soldered to the board. You can either desolder it to remove it, but I do not know if it will break the keyboard or not. I don’t have a desoldering kit, so I cannot attempt that. Instead, I decided to cover it with hot glue. It probably won’t prevent my fbi friend from listening to me, but at least, the sound will be muffled. 😉
– When removing the keys using the keycaps puller tool provided, it scratches the glossy sides. Also, it will dent the base of the keycaps. I would personally suggest using a wire keycaps puller.
UPDATE! While installing my o-rings, I have used a wire keycaps puller (got it in the o-rings kit) and that did no damage whatsoever on the keycaps. This is definitely a must-have for anyone who would want to remove their keycap for any reason!
– There are barely noticeable dents under most of the keys. It is either because they have been already removed once using their plastic keycaps puller or because it was how these keycaps were manufactured.
– Many people have complained about their software saying that it has a poor interface and is a bit hard to use. I HAVE NOT tried it since it seems like it is not available on MacOS.
Should you buy it?
If you are looking for the best most affordable mechanical keyboard, you should definitely get this! It surpassed all my expectations. For that price, you cannot not get it.

I have paid this product with my own money. I would never recommend something I would not buy myself. If you think this was useful, please upvote this so more people can see it! Thanks!
I bought the brown switches on the keyboard and i like it very much. I like very much also the giant amount of led modes and my personal favourite is the voice activated one. :D

Thought I put a quick review. I’m coming from an old Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches. Thought I would get a much more compact keyboard for the desk and for gaming. Overall impressions is good. The keyboard case is single piece of plastic which is mostly matte with some gloss highlights around. The plastic case is decently thick so that in tandem with the steel backplate, the entire thing feels really solid and does not creak or flex under reasonable torque. There are no adjustable feet on the keyboard, just 4 large rubber feet. The keyboard is connected via a usb-c cable which is nicely braided so it has a nice look to it. Braided cables has heaps of “memory” to it so it’s fairly stiff, but given its going to be connected to your keyboard, which doesn’t move, I have no complaints.
The keycaps have a matte finish on the top, with gloss-finish on all sides. This is very different to the keys on my K70 which was all-gloss. The matte finish is definitely a winner because it doesn’t show fingerprints readily. The gloss-sides however show off grime, dirt, scratches and dust easily. You have to be carefully when removing the keys on this board with the included the keycap puller because it will scratch up the gloss-sides of the keys! The Shine through legends are decent and allow the backlight to shine through. The font is a bit “gamery” but not as bad as some others and I soon got over it quickly. However, the thing you WONT get over will be the white-printed secondary legends on the keycaps. You’ll notice that this keyboard has its F-keys, arrow keys and other functions (num-lock, scroll lock etc) as secondary functions. These can be quickly accessed by holding “Fn” in the bottom right and pressing the relevant key. The problem is that these legends are not durable. The appearance of the printing is great; It’s nice and crisp. But it fades incredibly easily. I’ve only used the keyboard for a few weeks and the printed legends on the A-Z part of the keyboard has this dull stained look. So far the legends haven’t started peeling, but the white print stains easily. For some it might not be a problem because you’ll hopefully remember the location of all the keys by them. But is definitely something for the manufacturer to improve upon on the next iteration.
The RGB lighting is cool. All the colours under the rainbow, except for white. The white colour looks more like a light blue. Odd, but definitely not a deal-breaker.
The Gateron Optical Brown switches feel pretty marvelous. They are very smooth, with a tactile bump much more pronounced that the K70’s cherry mx brown. The downward travel is also smoother, with noticeably less “grit/sandy” friction feeling. This makes the key travel feel much shorter. I’m not sure if its true, but these optical brown switches feel like they have a much shorter travel distance than the mx browns. I got used to it, and am not sure if I prefer it. For typing, i feel like I want a little bit more travel distance for comfort. It feels abrupt as I’m bottoming them out. Perhaps I need more time. The only other thing is noise. It doesn’t have a loud click, but you will definitely hear them thud everytime you poke them the full distance down. I found it to be louder than my K70.
Lastly, it has no wrist rest. This is the one thing that I missed from the k70. I’m definitely a wrist-rest user. The K70 has an included plastic detachable wrist rest. Although nothing special, it allows me to be a bit “lazy” when playing games on an extended session as I can rest my fingers on the wasd keys and that’s all. Without the wrist rest, I certainly felt the strain of holding my hands up on the wasd keys. What I 100% missed is the “detachable” aspect of the K70’s wrist rest. If you move your keyboard, the wrist-rest moves with it. Unless you glue your wrist rest to your GK71, every adjustment of the keyboard will require a follow up adjustment to the accompany wrist rest which gets very frustrating.
Otherwise that’s it. If you are wondering if you should buy this keyboard for $80AUD, then go ahead. There’s definitely worse that you could buy. The only problem is the cheap secondary legends printing on the keycaps.

Es demasiado bueno para el precio que tiene, tiene una gran cantidad de ventajas y en serio lo vale
Es el primer teclado mecanico que compro. Usaba uno memcanico de logitech con el cual estuve muy feliz por un ao pero era muy grande.
Este es bastante compacto y a pesar de ser switches gateron red se sieenten muy tactiles, cabe destacar que nunca he usado los brown o ningun otro xd. Las teclas actuan bastante rapido, antes de que la presiones por completo, me imagino que es debido a los switches opticos. A mi me viene muy bien ya que juego fortnite y las estructuras se ponen mas rapido y edito mas rapido.
El rgb se ve genial, tiene varios efectos que pones con la tecla FN del teclado pero los puedes modificar desde su software, que es bastante feo pero funcional.
Durante un par de das estuve buscando un teclado que fuera demasiado pequeo, opt por uno de una sola mano. Pero por error encontr este teclado. Le sus caracteristicas, me fascinaron completamente el echo de tener switches opticos. Anteriormente usaba un Razer BlackWidow. El cambio a este teclado fue simplemente extraordinario. La velocidad de respuesta es bastante buena, hasta el momento no me ha fallado en lo absoluto. Estoy tan satisfecho de este teclado y su funcionamiento que prximamente volver a comprar otro. En cuanto al material que esta realizado, esta bastante bien echo y no parece ser de un material simple, El RGB es bastante bueno los LEDs los trae en la placa base, no en la superficie. Es un detalle que le quitara ese 0.1% de recomendacin. Pero en cuanto a calidad y el precio en el que es vendido. Para mi este teclado ha pasado a ser el base para juegos competitivos, principalmente FPS. Recomendado al 99%. En cuanto al software, haba ledo que era bastante malo. Pero en cuanto lo he descargado yo, tiene una interfaz muy amigable y simple. Y solo sirve para lo que es, macros e iluminacin. En si el teclado podra decirse que es “Plug and Play”. Para encontrar el software solo hay que escribir en el buscador “jikedingzhi”, ser la primera opcin que aparezca. Est en chino la pgina, pero tampoco es muy difcil de entenderla. Solo basta con poner el cursor encima de cada pestaa sin dar clic y leer a donde nos redirecciona. As hasta encontrar el de “Descargas” donde estar el software.
This 60% board is great! I would take points away for the software it uses but after spending a few minutes online looking around for an older version of the software (which happens to be the better one) I just set up my board how I wanted it to run using the onboard settings and it’s been great.
I’ve purchases 2 of these so far with red opticals, and I’ll likely end up buying 2 more of these boards simply because the cost is so low and it comes set up out of the box. The initial build quality is great and while the keys may be a bit clacky they’re still much quieter and smoother than any other stock keyboard I own. I ended up buying a set of PBT oem caps with this and I have some SA caps on order, but even with just the oem caps I was blown away by how fast and responsive this board was.
As for modding, I purchases several sets of additional switches out of the available linears (yellow & silver) and currently I’m using the silver ones with PBT oem caps after having spent the time to lube the switches. The feel and sound of this board with the listed changes is amazing!
I have yet to start using the yellows since I’m waiting on a few parts to mod the hell out of my second board but I already know it’s going to be easy to do and I’m expecting the outcome to be AMAZING.
This keyboard over all is great, The switches feel great considering the overall price and the build quality is fairly good as well. My only dislike was the key caps, but those can be replaced with some affordable abs key caps and still be cheaper then most 60 percent keyboards.

Really love this mini keyboard! when i recieved it i was blown away how mini it was compared to my old razer blackwidow.. i changed the keycaps to hyperx to mod it a bit and it looks awesome! red switches are awesome and smooth aswell but it actuate barely when pressing the key! (just a heads up for people) im coming from green switches. Build quality is awesome also.. only thing i can say search on reddit for the software since instruction that come in the box are chinese only.. but you can figure out some symbol on it for the brightness/mode. Happy Customer so far!
Best keyboard I have owned, too bad the black version wasn’t available at the time, I did however get a set of pudding keycaps in black and keyboard turned out amazing! Blue switches are super loud and clicky! Can barley hear the old lady complaining about me gaming! More clickity click to drown out the naggity nagg!
Bought it for Christmas for our gamer son. He loves the compact design of the keyboard.

A-1 60% for the money color display isnt the best as some colors bleed together and the software is in Chinese even if you install the English version but all in all for the money I can't complain , very comfortable , smooth keys the stock caps aren't bad by any means how ever I swapped them for hyper x pudding caps and it's nice to have the option to switch your switches should you want a different key feel

Works quite well for such an inexpensive keyboard. I like that it's small enough that I can place it right overtop of my laptop's original keyboard. It's mildly annoying that the number and function keys are combined into one, same with the arrow keys, but it doesn't ruin the experience. The RGB lighting is pretty good, though as others have mentioned the R|G|B LEDs under the keys are visibly separated a bit, which makes the transitions between colors not quite seamless. That's a fairly minor aesthetic issue, though, it still does the job. Overall, for the size and price I paid, I'm quite happy with it.

Pretty happy with this keyboard, I put the HyperX pudding keycaps on mine and it looks super nice. Could have gotten the same keyboard on AliExpress but I didn’t want to wait that long. I had a razer blackwidow ultimate before and the blue switches are very similar to it which I like. I chose this keyboard over other ones because if I ever want to change out the blue switches I have the option to do that. Satisfied with the purchase, but if you’re planning on using the software to customize the RGB don’t bother because it is a horribly translated Chinese software. It makes no sense whatsoever lol
Its a pretty good keyboard imo punches way above its weight class, was forced to change keyboards after my g410 bit the dust, and funny enough the switches feel more pleasant and the entire keyboard feels a ton sturdier than my g410 (remember the g410 is a 130$+ keyboard), no complaints besides the rgb and software, rgb is not the greatest and there is clear separation between each individual bulb so you actually see 3 similar colors lol.
Inexpensive introduction into RGB mechanical keyboards. It has a good feel overall, with Gateron Optical Switches almost perfectly mimicking that Cherry MX feel. Overall, the lighting does leave something to be desired as the hues tend to bleed into each other giving a visible dissonance when attempting to find a good color pallet that is not solid red, green, or blue. The driver software is mostly in Chinese and not very intuitive, but serviceable. That being said, the pre-programmed lighting schemes are nice, and give a good light show. The adjustable LED brightness is also very good if you like to keep things a little subdued.
The unit feels solid, key caps are easily replaced. One thing to note however is the space bar and enter key has a bit of wobble to it. The USB-C connection is nice as well. Brown switches are a little louder than what you would expect so be careful about working around other people.
I customized my board with HyperX PBT keycaps and this is what the lighting looks like. This is such an amazing board for the given price point and in my opinion this is king of the budget 60% keyboards. The optical gateron brown switches are a bonus, better than cherry mx and quicker .. the only down side is that you can only use optical switches on this board.
