HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 60 Percent | 61 RGB Rainbow LED Backlit Programmable Keys | USB Wired | For Mac and Windows PC | Hotswap Gateron Optical Yellow Switches | White
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.

Ok, let’s skim over the obvious things about this keyboard. Should you buy it in comparison to other boards? Yes. Does it come with a lot of cool features? Yes. Is it worth 90 CAD? Absolutely. How do the Gateron Optical switches fare in comparison to Cherry MX? Very similar and you won’t be able to tell the difference. Does it have voice-activated RGB? YES. Now, what are you waiting for empty your wallet already.

This was a gift for my 15 yr old grandson who is into ‘gaming’ big time. He’s very particular with his technology and has given this little keyboard a 10/10 He absolutely loved it. With all the flashing colours it looks spectacular. Certainly a little WOW factor at a really excellent price.
The yellow switch are bit expensive but brown switch are also good.

Son loves it! Well made and very responsive, he is rough on all his gaming gear but so far so good.
This product is AMAZING. It has great rgb and the quality is very sturdy.
i use it for fortnite, call of duty and csgo and its perfec
Really great keyboard! I personally really like this keyboard and it definitely lives up to its “hype” but I’m just kind of disappointed that the Bluetooth isn’t working:/ I’ve tried the manual and videos but still nothing. I wasn’t gonna actually use bluetooth but it still would’ve been nice to have for potential future use. I believe they sent me a defect but besides that it’s a great keyboard!

This keyboard is so good for gaming. The cable stays in so well and will not fall out well your in a game. Even if your just typing with it it has a very good layout. With it being a 60% keyboard it will fit well on any desk. I really recommend this keyboard.
Es un buen teclado, es muy buena la relacin calidad-precio y es totalmente recomendable, es hotswappable pero al ser optico solo se puede cambiar a switches pticos que son un poco difciles de conseguir, tambin las keycaps no son las mejores pero son bastante aceptables y pues puedes comprar otras y cambiarlas, pero fuera de eso sigue siendo un buen teclado

Mon premier clavier 60%. carrement fantastique facile dutilisation, elle couleur genial et la qualiter plus que parfaite pour le prix du produit. le seul bemol pout changer les configuration vous devez telecharger sur un site en chinois uniquement. pas tres pratique mais un addon de translation peu vous aider.
-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.

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.

I got the gatreon reds and the first thing I did when I got it was try it out. it was a lot louder than I was expecting so I added o-rings and lubed some of the switches. atm it has a suprising amount of rattle so i might actually go back and re-lube some of them because it’s a little insane. for the price tho it’s a good starting keyboard and I’ve never owned a mechanical keyboard before so a good start. If i could I’d rate it a 3.5/5

Ich kann die Tastatur mit Yellow Switchs nur empfeheln.
Love this keyboard. Tried a keychron, then ultimately went with this keyboard.I’ve had it for more than 6 months. Not a single issue. The switches are awesome. I switched the caps to a PBT and absolutely no issues with using custom key caps. The layers take some time to get used to but after several months it became second nature. Packaging and shipping were high quality the cable is USB Type C (keyboard side) to USB 3a (computer side). The RGB is pretty rad and overall it is an awesome 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!

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

Mis l’preuve par mon garon des heures d’utilisation et tout va trs bien un peu bruyant m mais il semble aime
Recently bought this keyboard for my son who enjoys gaming on my computer. I originally purchased it for him, but after feeling the keyboard for myself, I am very happy that we share it. Love that it’s mechanical and the “clicky” noise is oddly satisfying. He told me to get the Gateron Brown which has a clicky feel to it, but isn’t unnecessarily loud. We literally get the best of both worlds. He’s happy with the gaming aspect and I am happy to use it for my daily typing needs. Great value for something that feels premium.
-Rgb bastante luminoso
-Tamao perfecto
-Calidad / precio
-El click del switch azul es bastante satisfactorio
This keyboard is fast, small and has insane lighting. If you cant afford a ducky or other expensive keyboards you should buy this. Although you should buy a separate ley cap puller because the one it comes with is terrible. The key cap puller I use is the one that comes with razer keyboards.

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!
The software is kinda jank. Has a pretty odd layout with not real instructions. But once you tinker with it you can basically get this keyboard to do whatever yo want. Make pretty much any key do a variety of things over 4 layers. The only points I’m taking off is that the lighting is cheap. Looks good from across the room but when you look close it lacks compared to more expensive brand name keyboards. That being said I love the keyboard, and it was cheap enough that I almost covered the cost by selling my old corsair one.
8/10
Points off for wobble and weak lights.

Really nice keyboard, rgb pops really nice. Good Quality material both keyboard and cord and a really nice feel compared to my old Lenovo legion mech keyboard.
I got the white colour with gateron optical browns and so far I’m liking them much better than my old mx red linears. Packaging was nice and comes with a key cap tool to switch/customize your key caps (I switched mine out with the hyper x pbt caps).Really satisfying purchase

My only fault is the supplied USB-C cable is a little on the short side. It’s a good cable but would have been nice if it was at least a foot longer.

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.
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.

Very good keyboard for the money. The hotswap functionality is a bit gimmicky because it’s more difficult to find optical switches than regular. Backplate is sturdy but keys are a bit wobbly. Abs keycaps do not last a long time.
Great value for what you’re getting. Brown switches are very accurate and have a satisfying click to the touch. RGB is very vibrant although when turned up to full brightness, the keyboard emits a faint high pitched noise. It’s not super loud, but noticable. The other downside is the software, not really well put together although you will get the hang of it with a bit of looking around it.

Fairly good keyboard for the price but the rgb lighting is really mediocre.
There is no white, keys shake and there are no flipping feet to prop it up.
In the end I regret buying this keyboard and should have spent more money for something that’s better and is quality made.
It’s a really good keyboard honestly for the price it performs really well. I got the brown switches and idk if it’s because of the optical switches but when I put in o-rings I could still hear the bottoming out sounds only when I put double o-rings it would mute it, but sometimes the double o-rings were too thick and the keys didn’t travel deep enough to trigger the switch, I just pushed the rings in deeper to get them to work 100% of the time, now it works perfectly, and the RGB is amazing!

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.
Just waiting for my custom key caps to come in the mail!

Visuellement, le clavier est trs beau. On a pas l’impression d’avoir un clavier de 60$ entre les mains. Trs agrable et satisfaisant a utiliser. Il fait pas trop de bruit. (j’ai choisie les gateron brown).
Le logiciel pour le rgb est un peu dcevant par contre.. difficile utiliser.
Sinon, je le conseil nimporte qui.

The keyboard is perfect except that the cable is a bit loose wich makes the keyboard disconnect if i move it but everything else is good feels like a ducky one 2 mini but for 65$
Definitely heftier than expected (I enjoy this), the plastic on the sides of the casing is satisfying. However the stock keycaps have a subjectively unpleasant gloss on the sides so I replaced them with grey PBT caps. The switches themselves feel good and basically as browns should, can’t feel the different between these opticals and Cherry browns. Type-C is sweet, final note is I have no experience with their software. It’s supposedly a mixed bag with rumors of keyloggers, so I just didn’t bother with it, the default color profiles work fine and the only shortcut I’m missing is volume controls. Totally could change that though with the software if inclined.
TL;DR – More than adequate for a cheap 60% board especially if you’re going just for the size and potential for modularity with the optical switches.
