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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersEstremamente compatta. Il layout ANSI US, quindi va cambiato dalle impostazioni del pc.
    Essendo una 60%, per usare le freccette direzionali si deve usare il tasto FN, di fianco alla freccetta destra: ci vuole abitudine, dopo un’oretta mi sto abituando. Anche per gli accenti bisogna imparare ad usare FN,
    cos come per gli apostrofi.

    Per latex, o se comunque usate tanto parentesi quadre e graffe e slash, davvero oro.
    I miei tasti sono completamente opachi, in altre versioni di lato sono lucidi, meglio cos.
    Avrei preferito che i segni sui tasti fossero trasparenti come lo sono i numeri, le lettere e la punteggiatura, o l’invio, anche se li uso pochissimo.

    Il software davvero grezzo, ma il suo lo fa. Si deve solo imparare ad usarlo, la personalizzazione degli rgb semplice (selezionate il colore e poi colorate i tasti che volete), gli effetti di luce sono molteplici anche se io non li uso onestamente e sono attivabili anche senza software.
    La tastiera davvero solida, non si muove facilmente, i tasti non ballano se scuotete la tastiera.
    Ho preso gli optical brown, la notte sono abbastanza rumorosi (di giorno non me ne ero reso conto) ma da ex-possessore di tastiera a membrana sono piacevoli da usare.

    Nella confezione arrivata la tastiera con cavo usb c, foglio con i vari layout che ti aiuta a identificare il tuo, e i due aggeggi per togliere i tasti e gli switch.

    Consigliatissima ma occhio a questi aspetti

    Las nicas contras por decirlo de alguna manera es que
    1 aunque no tengan un sonido clicky las keycaps hacen mucho ruido al momento de pulsar la tecla
    2 Al pasar de un tiempo los recorridos se sienten un poco arenosos haciendo que al momento de usar, ms que nada de jugar resulta un poco incomodo pero nada para decirle no a este teclado.

    Good keyboard. Works as expected. Keys have a good feeling. Great gaming experience. Its small, but weighs 500gs+. Uses non braided type C to Type A USB connector to connect to PC. RGB works well with their software. Lot of media controls and RGB controls built right into the keyboard using Fn key.

    Overall, very satisfied.

    This is a great product at this price range. Typing is a little uncomfortable but thats because i am not used to typing on high raised keyboards. Wrist support can be bought for this. The rgb lights are nice and it is working great for mac. Low availability of accompanying software is why i have deducted 1 star.
    All in all, the keybaord quality is nice and readers should not worry about that. My advice will be to look for softwares which help reconfigure keys before going for this. But even if you dont find that, it wont be the end of the world.

    First piece I received was used. After the exchange, I decided to review this product. Overall, good value for the money spent. Sadly, the price of the product I purchased (optical silver) price fell a little. Not a big deal. Go for it.

    I received GK61 with silver switches today for rs 5500. I used this for a week and I can say that this keyboard is absolutely awesome, and smooth. I prefer silver switches than yellow just by a one point difference which is not that big of a deal but yellow and silver switches are just same but silver is quiter. The keycaps are goos but after many months of use, change ur keycaps as they get shinny. Don’t think keycaps are low quality but most of the keyboard share the same material. I bought this for gaming and also type but not much. My gameplay improved a lot in valorant. The 60% keyboard makes it easier, lighter and takes less space. For the price of rs 5000- rs 6000, this is a very very good deal. Just buy it you will not regret it.

    Its only been a few days since i bought this keyboard but so far i love it
    the build quality is good even though it is mainly plastic
    the key caps are good but the see transparency is not that good and the space bar is a bit wobbly but its still really good
    there are a lot of RGB options but it is not the brightest RGB i have seen
    they are pretty loud which i personally prefer them to be
    It is quite heavy
    there is no stand for a raised up use but the keyboard is slightly raised
    there are four rubber feet like things which prevents the keyboard from moving much
    the packaging was good the key board was kept in place with some foam came with a type c cable keycap puller and a switch puller (idk if thats what they are called)
    the software is really bad and is really hard to get them
    but overall as of now i love them will try to update it in the future

    Amazing budget friendly keyboard! Super happy that it comes hotswapable with Gateron Black switches, my favourite switch! I have yet to lube and mod it due to work but stock it sounds pretty good! Other then the stock stabs were are horrible buy pretty much all stock stabs are! 5/5 stars and would recommend for anyone trying to get into the modding hobby!

    EDIT:
    I finally got around to modding this keyboard and man oh man… I love it, so happy with the quality I was able to get out of this budget board! It sounds better than a lot of $300+ keyboards I’ve heard. 5/5 would recommend, although the stabilizers 100% need the hole mod to sounds good!

    I got the one with Gaterion Brown switches as IMO they’re the perfect middle ground amongst all the switches with good tactile feedback and responsiveness. The RGB is highly customisable and there is a software as well. Typing feels so good on this. The lighting is decent but doesn’t get super bright like the Hyper X alloy.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPicked up the gateron optical silvers switches. Ive always used blue swtiches for gaming and work but frequently felt they were heavy for gaming so decided to get a new tkl keyboard with red switches just for gaming but I came across gk60 instead and loved the aspect of 60% because it saves me so much space.

    I opted for the silvers because they are really smooth and have a very fast actuation response. They are known to be one of the fastest switches after yellows. I’ve tested yellows from a friend and personally didn’t feel like it was the right fit for me. I took a gamble by picking the silver switches and they are perfect. Much softer than reds and slightly heavier than yellows. It the perfect sweet spot.

    For gaming they are the beast but for typing we’ll need practice with it because there is a possibility of actuating another key hence leading to mistakes but that’s because they have a really quick key response time and that’s why they are the best for gaming. If you’re looking to write documents or programming and a casual gamer who doesn’t play much fps games. Then I would recommend you pick Brown’s. I myself use blue swtiches for work and silvers just for gaming. ( You can see my desk setup pic)

    Now the sound, silver switches are linear so they don’t have the clicky sound that blue swtiches make and tbh I prefer it that way. Ppl you play with hate hearing clicky keyboard coz they miss out on enemy foot steps plus it is very distracting while gaming. Hence I use the blues just for work like typing mails, documents etc. Ive attached a video for sound comparison.

    I definitely recommend this keyboard to fps gamers (serious and casual) its worth it !!!

    Very good keyboard for fps games (gateron optical silvers)

    The crispines of the keystroke is commendable. The slight bump and 1 mm of pretravel is perfect for long 9 hours of work and typing. Highly recommended and preferred for great typing experience. No miss keystrokes and increased typing accuracy helped me a lot to reduce the repeat work.

    RGB/Aesthetic: 5 stars
    Provided manual: Pathetic
    Typing sound/experience: 5 black holes aka best in terrible

    I got it with the Gateron red and I’m still pasting my ears back on. I don’t have any experience with higher end keyboards as this is my first one but goodness I thought red was supposed to be quiet. This one is not and my ears still hurt. Another reviewer also said it is unusually loud. Do with that what you will.

    I’m attaching a video but I don’t know how to type so beware.

    Overall, buy it but be wary of the red switches or possibly the whole thing in general.

    My ears are still haunted by the click clacks of death

    I got this keyboard with the optical brown switches as my first actual “mechanical” keyboard. The buttons sound nice and deep, colours flash bright, and the red actually looks really nice without looking like a toy or cheap. Even with the lack of buttons compared to a full size I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a solid keyboard without the name brand price

    Overall good, but it needs lubrication on the switches to reduce the noise

    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.

    Price is very low due to using an optical board, meaning the board is only hotswappable with other optical switches, you can’t use 99% of mechanical switches you would normally like to use. Not a big difference in speed of optical switches compared to mech switches, it’s mostly just marketing BS. Mine came with gateron optical reds and are very smooth and feels great. Stabalisers are incredibly rattly, with the keyboard sounding especially loud and terrible. Great for a new keyboard enthusiast as there can be a lot of modding to be done. Switch out the stabalisers for plate mount stabs, either cherry or durock, add foam to the case, holee (bandaid) mod your stabalisers, lube your switches and stabs and customise your keyboard layout functionality with hk gaming’s much more intuitive software compared to other GK61 sellers.

    I’d recommend going for a mechanical GK61 rather than an optical GK61, spend a few more bucks for more switch options later down the road.

    It’s a solid little keyboard and very easy to mod. I suggest the Gateron silent optical from x-bow.
    Just note this is the GK61US PCB so does not support more advanced GK6X features like FN layering and FN lock. Is closer to the Mizarlab MZ60. The software seems to be provided by HK/MizarLab themselves and is easy to use, but limited in functionality. If all you need is macros and RGB you’ll be fine.
    The benefit of this PCB is the RGB is very bright and vibrant.
    A good starter board, one star removed as it’s listed as a GK61, but it’s doesn’t quite match the features of a true GK PCB.

    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.

    Es muy bonito, es perfecto para cualquier uso, lo he usado por unos meses y el sonido es muy satisfactorio, adems de que el RGB es muy lindo y tiene muchas configuracin, los switches son muy rpidos y es Increble. En resumen es increble por el precio lo recomiendo al 100% y si no sabes con que mouse juntarlo con el Logitech G203 o el Razer Death adder Essential, ( blancos los dos ).

    stabilizers for this keyboard are not very good other than that the keyboard is amazing it sounds and feels amazing especially after switching from blue switches

    This keyboard is well known for it’s great mechanical feeling, it’s able to be customised a lot and it’s overall a great budget option for something more expensive like a Razer Huntsmen Mini. The RGB is nice and bright with reactive lighting modes and the well known modes like the rainbow wave and such. You’re able to customise your key caps, your switches, RGB modes, keybindings, etc.

    I recently ordered a GK61 for gaming. I will be reviewing it, The material is great as it feels sturdy and doesn’t feel cheap and the switches are very nice sounding as well. (I got Gateron Optical Reds) The keycaps could be better but they are nice to the touch but I recommend switching them out for Double Shot PBT Keycaps (Razer Or HyperX) The keycap puller and switch pullers aren’t the best but they get the job done. The size is the about both of my hands. Overall good keyboard with the only negatives being that the wire is to the left side but would be much better being in the middle and the cheap Keycap Puller and Switch Puller. I will consider putting a 5 star if this holds out for a while.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI got this for my wife I personally love the way the keyboard looks. Although beautiful to look at, the keyboard is a tad too loud for her liking.

    Amazing for gaming! But we ordered a set of keys for it because the ones that originally comes on it aren’t that great. Which with the news keys on it my son says it’s simply “amazing”.

    Honestly great keyboard that could have a lot of potential. I understand that quality has to be kept to a certain degree for the price to be so low. But keep in mind, the keys shake a lot, they’re very unstable and cheap feeling. But that can be fixed with a new set of caps. The backlighting is great though, software is not the greatest but the actual colour is

    Very tiny keyboard with smooth switches. 100% comfortable for typing and gaming. Not like those loud ass mecha keyboards. Recommending to anyone.

    Best budget keyboard if your entering into world of mechanical keyboard.
    The keys feel and sound just fine.
    The build quality is good. Doesnt feel cheap.
    The software that comes with the keyboard is a bit buggy and hard to understand other than that great keyboard at this price.

    Great mechanical keyboard if you are on a budget.

    Golden Review Award: 28 From Our UsersIt’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 )

    Wonderful hotswappable custom keyboard

    A great candidate as a starter mechanical keyboard for people who want to play around with switch configurations. I have no issues with the optical switches either and they are very accurate.

    The only issue I have with the keyboard is that some of the RGB LEDs are brighter than others, sometimes resulting in colours that are different from one another in single-colour backlight mode. This is most prevalent when using solid white for all keys as the RGB colour.
