GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC/Mac Gamer (Gateron Optical Red, Black)
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.

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

Don’t update the software of the keyboard
I updated the software of the keyboard and as a result my keyboard no longer worked. Support didn’t offer any way to fix it other than replacement.
After lubing the switches, changing the key caps and stabilizers, and filling the inside with foam, this keyboard sounds and feels great. Perfect for anyone looking for a beginner keyboard to mod.
As a stock keyboard, it’s nothing special. Gets the job done. Stock stabilizers are sub par and without lubing the switches it feels like any other mechanical linear switch (a little scratchy but good feel otherwise). The hollow case will amplify the spring sound of your switches so without filling it with foam and lubing your switches it will be audible.
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.
Really good quality keyboard. Only flaw is the power cord is made of cheap material so be careful when moving it or unplugging it.

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
Excellent rapport qualité/prix
Nous tions la recherche d’un clavier pour que mon garon puisse jouer en ligne. N’tant pas un joueur professionnel ou mettant plusieurs heures par jour, nous voulions un clavier ayant un rapport qualit-caractristiques/prix intressant.
Mon garon adore le clavier, il apprcie le fait de pouvoir illuminer de faon indpendante les touches et il pourra remplacer le mcanisme des touches pour les adapter ses prfrences plus tard.
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!

Gk61 el mejor teclado calidad-precio
Se gana completamente el titulo de teclados calidad-precio, es el mejor teclado que eh probado.
I bought this for my son and he uses it for gaming. He absolutely LOVES it! He loves the loud clicking sound of the keys. It’s something that I don’t understand but one thing for sure, he’s a happy kid. The keyboard is smaller than regular keyboards due to no number keypad. So for gaming, it’s perfect. Looks great too.

Really great but would really like if there was a toggling option for Arrow Keys.
Really great 60% keyboard for gaming. Im really harsh on this kb while gaming but it still works great. Been using for over a year&ahalf now. Really sensitive to press, optical yellows . Could be a downside for typing but you’ll get used to it after a while.
Downsides-
1) No toggling option for arrowkeys. Have to hold FN key to use arrowkeys. Would be great if there was an option to toggle on/off arrow keys.
2) After more than a year and a half’s use it has gotten a bit louder and clunky. The space bar is way louder than before.
Muy bueno
El teclado muy bueno, teclas de calidad, swiches buenow, rgb muy potente, lo unico que le veo de “malo”, sera que el cavle es un poco rigido, pero tampoco afecta en nada su funcionamiento l, 10/10, muy recomendable
great keyboard would recommend it!!!!
I am really into gaming and this was an amazing add to my setup!!!! There is nothing to worry about this keyboard, anyone can use it.
This keyboard comes with all you need keyboard, cord, and keycap puller. I bought their keycaps going for the cotton candy feel. The keyboard compared to another brands like Matrix Keyboards to very similar. But great keyboard just make sure to have a good connection and don’t use scissors next to it be careful when cutting the cord it is not as durable as a racer huntsman cord is.

Ottima SOLO gaming
Esteticamente si presenta bene ed rapidissima.
Ottimi switch e si importano bene le varie colorazioni.
Non prendetela assolutamente se dovete usare caratteri come maggiore, minore ecc frequentemente (ad esempio se siete programmatori) perch vi trovereste male.
Adatta per scrivania piccole perch molto compatta.
One thing I don't like bout the keyboard is how some of the sounds echos through and you can hear some hard key presses which I do a lot but that's just me being picky. The optical red switches are still very fast but I made a small buyers mistake and didn't buy the yellow switches but I can add them later on. This is definitely a great budget option for when you don't have a $100+ to spend on a Apex TKL or a Razer Huntsman Mini. I already see myself getting faster gameplay after only a month in.

I own 5 of these keyboards number 6 on the way now, and I have to say, this keyboard is an amazing budget friendly keyboard and great if you want to start out with keyboard modding, it's hot swappable so no pesky soldering and its compact, what more could you want?

bisher gut gehalten und ist gut für Games und Gaming.
Ich habe diese Tastatur seit Weihnachten und sie hat sich bisher gut gehalten und ist gut fr Games und Gaming.
Swapped this out for my Ducky one2 never touched my ducky since, shipped quicker than expected, the only flaw I see is the stabs are loose out of the box but there plate mounted and switches are hotswapable so bandaid mod was an easy fix can’t wait to lube the stabs and the op yellows

Ottima
Ottimo prodotto quantit prezzo.. soprattutto compatta… Effetti luminosi veramente belli…
Excelente.
Me gust,, es cmodo y era lo que yo esperaba.
Grea
Ive had this keyboard for over a year now and nothing has gone wrong its relieable and feels great, my only problem are the screws be careful they strip easy.
Ottima
Tastiera funzionale e ottima per il gaming. Figlio la utilizza molto ed pienamente soddisfatto.
Es muy fácil de programa
Era lo que buscaba solo que es muy ruidoso al teclea
Pretty good quality for the price. There is one flaw though
The overall quality is very good, the key caps are solid and feel good, the RGB is amazing, and the overall shape of the keyboard is my favorite.
But after pressing all the keys I found that the spacebar sounded very off (sound in video). The other keys were great but the spacebar sound hollow/airy. Not much I can do about that, it is the largest key on the keyboard so it’s understandable but I believe getting new keycaps will fix it so I am going to try that.
Other than that it is a great, solid keyboard that I am definitely going to keep!
Esta muy bueno el teclado,no hace ruido y es muy comodo
El teclado es muy cmodo, chiquito y funciona muy bien,lo recomiendo.
Super!
Super clavier! Petit rapide et efficace! Je le recommande! Joueur de league of legends!
This keyboard exceeded expectations. Quite sensitive and good for gaming. The spacebar could be a bit better. Seems a bit clunky, unstable, or something...just a very different feel. I can't say that it hasn't done it's job...just doesn't have the same feel and confidence. All in all, a good purchase.

I like that its hotswappable, small, program is easy to use, fast switches, very beginner friendly for beginner keyboard modders

Simplemente epico
La verdad es que este teclado me dejo muy satisfecho, no me arrepiento de haberlo comprado, la calidad de este teclado es buena y el sonido y la sensacin es muy satisfactoria, es la primera vez que pruebo un teclado optico (con switches brown) y le verdad es que son muy impresionantes, lo que me encantan de estos switches opticos es que se pueden retirar algo que no todos los switches mecanicos tienen, duran el doble que un switches mecanico por lo que me vienen muy bien para alguien que es jugador de osu mania, y responden mejor que un switch mecanico, al poder retirar los switches no nesesitaras comprar otro teclado para comprar otro switch si no solamente comprar el switch, asi te ahorras bastante. Recomiendo mucho este teclado ya que por su precio ofrece mucho mas que otros teclados y creeme que no te arrepentirs de haberlo comprado.

BUY THIS RIGHT NOW
Check the video I submitted as I show how the program works and my favourite settings. Absolutely nothing I’d change about it. High quality with a nice click, perfect colour and simply to use. I got the UK one but it also comes in DE and US.
To get the software on Windows search “www.hk-gaming.com” and the second website titled “download” from there select in the GK61 column, “S/N Starting with: GK61US” (you can change it to UK by doing what I show in the video, changing what different keys mean). Click “download (v1.1_0113)” and name it + put it in your files. Once downloaded open the file and it will bring you to Microsoft store where you press “install anyway” It will ask you for your pin, it’s completely safe don’t worry. Type in your pin and once it loads it will ask you for your preferred language. And in this order press “next, choose where the file goes, next, name the file, next, install, finish” open the program and from there I show you in the video.
Hope this helps! Byeeee
Cumplió todas mis expectativas
El teclado lo compre porque buscaba algo barato y verstil, es mi primera experiencia con un teclado de este estilo, y la verdad es que qued muy satisfecho.
Jugu un rato con el teclado y se sienti muy bien, solo que a veces apretaba el mayusc sin querer, pero con el uso te acostumbras al tacto del teclado, por lo que esto no represent ningn problema.
A comparacin de mi anterior teclado, con este puedo jugar durante ms tiempo sin fatigarme, ya que no necesito presionar tanto la tecla para que responda.
Por ltimo, haba ledo que no recomendaban mucho switches ligeros para escribir, porque escribirs con errores, sin embargo, el mo lo ped con los pticos rojos, los cuales son de los ms ligeros que puedes pedir, y mi experiencia cuando escrib con el teclado fue muy buena, tena algunos errores, pero los errores comunes que cometes cuando escribes, ninguno tuvo que ver con los switches, es importante mencionar que estuve practicando mecanografa durante unos meses, por lo que esto influyo en mi experiencia.
Punto negativo o positivo, depende de cmo lo mires, el teclado hace mucho ruido, al menos con los switches que ped, lo cual para m no es molesto, sin embargo, si necesitas usarlo de noche, probablemente seas una molestia para tu familia
En conclusin, este teclado est totalmente recomendado, ya que ofrece una muy agradable experiencia, tanto para jugar, como para escribir. Si lo que buscas es un muy buen teclado a bajo costo, este es el que buscas.
