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.

Ottima tastiera per gaming ma non solo…
Tutto perfetto, consiglio il suo acquisto.
One of the best keyboards I've ever used. I'm using it now to write this review. Great quality of material and very good for gaming.

I've been bamboozled
I had originally thought this keyboard was Bluetooth because of the ‘s’ they put in the title. the ‘s’ is suppose to mean Bluetooth compatible. so yeah. ive been bamboozled.
still an amazing keyboard for its price.

RED KEYBOARDS GO FASTER! & COLOURFUL LIGHT UP PLUS, OVERALL VERY GOOD
This keyboard is great! It’s my first mini-sized one, but that’s even better once I quickly got used to it.
Very fast timing and just love it!
Estremamente 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.
Great Budget Keyboard
This keyboard is a great option for anyone looking to get a mechanical keyboard, it is a great option for its price tag. It is also a 60% board which is great because it takes up less desk space while it still has the crucial arrow keys.
Keycaps are crap but the keyboard is quite "OK"
Keycaps are made up of cheap-arse plastic and are not sturdy at all, Switches are fine (I replaced my browns with reds) but you might want to replace keycaps because they are a complete disaster…

ice keyboard :)
spacebar is the best bit. The thoccy sound does not make me regret buying this at all.

Bonito teclado game
Esta muy bonito, tieme buena intencidad en las luces.
Funciona bien, pero por ser un teclado corto dependes mucho de las funciones secundarias de las teclas.
Gran calidad
El teclado es muy atractivo y ergonmico. Su funcionamiento es muy bueno y su sonido inmejorable. 5 estrellas muy bien merecidas.
Buenisimo
Es muy bueno la verdad recomendado de 10, me ha mostrado que es de muy buena calidad, y pues los colores y todo son grandiosos, el tamao igual es bueno, lo nico que me afect pero no creo que sea malo es que una vez jugando fortnite, como que haca intervencin osea olyna tecla estaba presionada, pero creo que pudo haber sido polvo ya que despus de una limpiada todo se solucio

Buen teclado mecánico
Es una buen teclado mecnico, se siente slido, llevo un par de das con l. Es basntane cmodo y te ahorra espacio al momento de jugar. Es cmodo para escritura, por el tamao no lo recomendara tanto para trabajos en el Excel pero si logras adaptarte podras lograr hacerlo .
Nothing beats this at this price.
Great product.
Great feel of keys although a bit hollow.
Leds look great. Lighting Modes are good too.
Software is a bit clunky but you can get the hang of it.
Price is a bit high. Buy it during sales.

Do not i say “DO NOT” use the key puller.
The key puller will break ur stabilisers. It broke my spacebar stabiliser. The overall keyboard is good.
Value for money
Muy buen producto y me llego antes de lo dicho, excelente servicio
Es un teclado muy cmodo y rpido pero aun no me acostumbro a que sea 60%
GK61 is the best keyboard out of my 8 keyboards I've bought, 100% worth your money.

Quality is good for this price range but kinda cheap plastic compared to bigger brands like logitech,razer,hyperx etc coz they cost double the price or more.The response time is pretty sweet & thats what a gamer need right.

Excelente teclado, me encant el color rojo y se siente muy cmodo, lo nico que no me gusto fue un pequeo detalle.
1: algunas teclas tienen una segunda funcin y viene estampada en la tecla pero no se alcanza a ver si tienes la luz encendida del teclado.
Muy buen teclado
Tiene muy poco tiempo de reaccin lo que hace que sea un teclado muy rpido y sus switches son de lo mejor muy buena compra. Lo recomiendo 10/10.

everything works as it should, has a nice clack to it thats not loud unless you're bashing on the keys. doesn't need to be pushed in fully for the keys to register. and you can swap keycaps easily.

The yellow switches in the GK61 are incredibly fast. The build quality of the keyboard is alright, it could be better, but with some foam in the case it’s good. The key caps are pretty good as they are.

Review as a mechanical keyboard enthusias
I have been using this keyboard for over a month now I believe. And from my limited experience i can safely comment on a few things
Packaging
– Ok the packaging for this is pretty shady lol. My box was all dinged up, the sticker that is supposed to
hold it close was open and lost all it’s adhesive 🙂 But regardless, inside the keyboard was pretty safe
and hadn’t moved or been damaged at all
Build
– Sturdy build with no loose parts or rattling’
– Aluminum switch plate feels premium and gives a good feel
– Keycaps are decent, not the best but didn’t expect them to be. I would suggest upgrading to PBT
keycaps as this board is pretty much build to be customized.
– Cable is of decent quality as well, so is the keycap puller and switch puller
– This keyboard also says “pre lubed” like every other mechanical keyboard lol, but it’s very minimal and
has no effect on the sound/feel even if you wipe it off. I recommend lubing them on your own.
I would recommend Petreplus 2700 if you’re not looking to spend 5k on 10grams of krytox205g0 lol.
I have a review on the lube too, and in my experience, it’s a good lube if used correctly.
Switches
– I have the brown switches. Good, fast, smooth, and sound if very pleasing as well.
– Again, pRe lUbEd, so wipe that stuff off, and lube them yourself, that will just elevate the experience.
Cons
– The PCB and switch plate sit very deep into the case, which is good for sturdiness and security, but then
if you want to add foam to your keyboard, that would be a bit difficult. Maybe i didn’t do it right, but
thats my experience.
– The software is janky AF. HK gaming really needs to focus on this, otherwise, their brand image will
never be able to get better as their software feels like something from Windows XP. But the keyboard
isn’t very software dependant, so it isn’t much of an issue. There are keys to switch between light
modes, but if you want to keep custom lighting then you’ll need the software, which is relatively simply
to use, even though it looks very very old lol.
– This board is a 60% which might be small for a lot of people. I didn’t mind it at all, in fact I loved it. I edit videos and photos, and i didn’t face any problems, and I love the compact size. But I know most people don’t, so listing it here as a con.
All in all, I would recommend this board due to its high customizability. You can go for the Keychron V2 hot swap version if you want something bigger than a 60% as well, but this was cheaper than that for me and based on reviews pretty much giving in direct competition as a good budget mechanical keyboard
But I am happy with my decision, hope this helped you in making yours too.
Keyboard is good for the price point but find it a little frustrating durning typing and looking for function and hidden function keys. Takes a little time to get use to when switching from full size keyboard.

GK 61 yellow switches opticos
Es un buen teclado relacin calidad precio, todo bien en general, es un buen teclado y cumple con todas las funciones de un teclado normal.
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.

Este teclado tudo de bom para aqueles que se dedicam ao jogo, ele muito sensvel ao toque e preciso, bem como lhe d bastante conforto no manuseio!!
I used to have tvs gold with long hua blue switches , switching from that this keyboard feels a lot lighter, as I have the optical yellow . This one is a little hard to get used to for typing because just resting your hands causes a lot of typos but once you get used to it its the best thing ever. because of its low actuation it would help you type faster but this is not suggested for beginners as they would need a tactile feedback. For beginners something like optical brown or black should be perfect. But you could also swap them with linear or clicky later once you feel that you don't need them. Overall I'm very satisfied with this product , its portable and very sturdy while also being able to swap switches.

I bought the black version with optical silvers. Everything works great. The keycaps seem a bit wobbly. It isnt a major problem though. But the software is really bad. It will open only once after installing it. Everything else works fine. If you dont care about the software it is definitely worth i

Best Mechanical Keyboard Under Rs 5000
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.

Works as expected but I couldnt easily find software to reconfigure keys
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.

Fonctionnel, compacte, magnifique : ce à quoi on s'attend !
J’avais dj command une souris gaming de la mme marque : HK Gaming. Dj convaincu par ce priphrique, je me suis laiss tent par ce clavier compacte aux switchs Gatheron Silver, une bonne marque de switchs concurentes aux fameux Cherry. Reli l’ordinateur par un cble Type-C fourni, le clavier est dtect instantanment et fonctionne mme directement en AZERTY mme si la disposition physique du clavier est QWERTY. J’ai juste chang quelques touches de place, mme si certaines ne sont pas les mmes que sur clavier AZERTY, a fait le job. Les touches sont assez bruyantes mais le bruit est trs agrable mon sens. Le rtroclairage des touches n’blouie pas, ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas sur les claviers gaming, et c’est trs aprciable. L’effet de lumire est paramtrable directement via les raccourcis du clavier, et dispose de plusieurs animations, toutes trs fluides et russies. Les patins sous le clavier permettent de garder le clavier stable sans qu’il glisse. Le prix me parat un peu lev compar la quantit de matire mais la qualit est l. Je recommande ce priphrique sans problme
With great RGB, strong wired connection and a fast reaction speed this keyboard is a great budget keyboard for beginner gamers.

El tacto de los witches como de los keycaps es imppresionante, el treclado en si es una maravilla, lo unico es que encuentro el envio muy caro. Y tambien me he llevado una DESEPCION ya que el cable usb c se sale continuamente y no hay forma de conectarlo de forma que si muevo el teclado no se salga.

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.

So Far, I Love I
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

Awesome keyboard! Buy the Gateron Blacks!! SOUND TEST
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!

Amazing keyboard I have bought two in fact one with yellow switches and one with browns. The keys feel really good and the built in lighting effects are amazing. The only thing to improve on is the rattling stabilizers mainly on the spacebar. Otherwise 10/10

This are Not Skylong brand this is HK Gaming
FAKE Fn+Q+W+R they don’t work those are for Skylong Original GK61 these don’t have layers and fake images shown in description
Box comes with different box not as shown in images, This comes With HK Gaming Name and Logo
Everything else is okay
Great product I got the gaderon optical black switches. This product is a 3 pin so you can’t just get any switch. I didn’t know much about keyboards at the time but I’ve had this keyboard for a few months and it’s held up great.

Nice portable keyboard
Very nice and portable keyboard, looks and works good with Microsoft Surface.
Default keys setup is a mess, but the layout can be changed via the driver, after that all works perfect.
This is one of the best keyboard at this price point. Everything is great. It would have been the best if they have given it some bluetooth support as well. Wire of the keyboard makes it difficult to have clean set up and portability of laptop while keyboard connected.

Eccellente
La tastiera eccellente e performante , se la prima tastiera meccanica ci si deve abituare, ma dopo qualche giorno di utilizzo diventer un piacere , gli RGB sono molto luminosi , perfetta per il gaming
somewhat difficult to get used to
I bought the silver optical switch version. Its great for typing, but its a little difficult to get used to this while gaming(I accidentally hit spacebar while WASD). I keep doing misclicks, because of very low actuation force. Great value for money.
P.S.: I got the GK61v2 version.
Got browns...very satisfied...first mechanical keyboard experience and get white if u can....looks sick in white....

Brightness wasn't crazy because of original keycaps, built fine for the pricepoint though and no regrets besides my switch type.

The thing that I disliked about this is that, I got the older version of it. I mean it doesn't have the glossy look at the sides and it doesn't have the microphone as well. I was disappointed but I guess it's still fine.

Great!
I got the yellow mechanical switches and I love them! Overall this keyboard is very good for the price. Only downside is that the space bar has a very bad rattle and sound, need to mod to fix.

Mi 2 compra en Amazon y recomiendo totalmente este teclado para los gamers. Teclado muy rpido y me encanta el ruido, al principio notars las teclas un poco duras pero luego te acostumbras. Muy contento.
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.

Absolutely amazing keyboard. I have multiple expensive (400$) keyboards, but I still use this one. I ordered optical Gateron silent Brown keys and swapped them in. This resulted in the best typing experience I have ever had.

My son chose this for his gaming and he’s raving about how much better it is than all the gaming keyboards he’s used up til now.

Picked 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 !!!
The keyboard:
Small, yet functional keyboard. Comes with a long (5ft i guess?) Usb-c cable which I was quick to trade with my phone’s short charger (life hacks). Per key RGB is plenty good, didn’t bother using the software (didn’t recognize my keyboard) for custom key mapping. Everyone reviewing mentions that the ABS key caps are frosted (or matt) finish on top and glossy on the sides, but the one I received has all matt finish key caps. I honestly like matt over glossy as glossy gets easily scratched. Also, there is no microphone under the space bar for music synced RGB (some early reviews mentioned they have it), I can’t be bothered as I don’t use computer speakers anyway.
My experience:
Despite being all plastic, GK61 has some heft to it. This is my first experience, albeit first in a very long time, with a mechanical keyboard, so I haven’t yet gotten accustomed to the nuances of a mech keyboard. Not able to match the typing speed on my Blade 15’s keyboard yet, all in time until I develop finger memory. Haven’t had issues while gaming (CS:GO mostly), but encountering a lot of errors while typing mostly due to low actuation distance of Gat Silvers and no tactile (pfft, i know right?) feedback on key presses. So, further pressing down the key caps obviously doesn’t do anything, but feels quite odd if not pressing keys all the way (idk probably just me as I’m not used to it yet).
Minor con:
One minor quality issue I have with my keyboard is that the bigger key caps (shift, enter, space bar etc) wobble when you nudge them longitudinally (tangentially to the plane of the keyboard) at key cap ends. My guess is due to cheap quality stabilisers. I’ll probably look into upgrading them later on.
Future prospects:
That’s something would great to experiment on this cheap (in comparison) keyboard, modding the insides. My first mod will probably be adding a regular foam inside for a some thoccy-ness (everyone loves thoccy keyboards right?). Followed by stabilisers and then lubrication, perhaps.
Tl;dr:
– Good enough for a modding journey.
– Choose your switches wisely.
– Less options for optical switches.

One of the Best customizable Keyboard available in the Marke
Optical Yellow keys are very sensitive, i would suggest you to go for the Silver gateron optical swicthes..
No doubt, couldn’t have got a better deal.
Great keyboard, NKRO works fine. Takes time to adjust from full keyboard to 60%. But definitely better Logitech G613 and other logitech mechanical keyboards.

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.

Good Budget Keyboard
Just about what you’d expect for what you pay for! Very good budget board but you can mod it to feel nicer! Hotswappable as well.
The only problem is that the keycaps got very shiny after using it for only for a short period of time.
first purple keybord ive found in years
eally nice to type on, switches are smooth and quiet.
the only thing i would change is the cable, it would have been nice if the colour matched the keyboard (cable came in white)
I found the software easy to use and the lighting options are super cute and fun.

This is not a GK61 from “Meckeys”. This is HK gaming gk61 and trust me this is for Rs5,499 which is not worth the money you pay and its an optical mechanical keyboard not an Mechanical ones. IMPORTANT!! This keyboard doesn’t provide stoppers or grip in bottom, they have just given empty slots in grip section. Also this one has different lightning modes than what u get in GK61 from meckeys which is for 5,200 rs. I got it with silver switches and tbh switches are amazing no doubt.
It’s worlds fastest keyboard, best keyboard
It’s totally worth for its price. Rgb is very good.the sound of its keys are amazing
Best keyboard under 10k
Una chulada

My ears are still haunted by the click clacks of death

Top: cheap Langtu full size (also from Amazon)
Bottom: This keyboard (RK61?)
I had written out a lengthy review but it got deleted as occurs with technology, so here’s the TL;DR
Build Quality: 5 stars
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.
The keyboard is great! but my keyboards space bar stabilizers was broken but I just returned it and got another one!

My son loves it.
Apparently it’s all about the key clicking sound?!?!!
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

Top Quality
Besides the software for RGB being a little hit and miss, it’s a really good keyboard and highly recommend! I got the yellow switches and believe me you really feel the difference!
Top Quality!
Amazing product!
Just been a day since I’ve been using it, but its an amazing product! Response time for a click is very high and the RGB lights work flawlessly. Would recommend the red one for anyone interested in gaming!
I wanted to like this keyboard SO BAD but I just couldn’t and the reason for that is the layout of it.
I am used to fullsize keyboards and have been looking for a purple keyboard with RGB leds for the LONGEST time. When I found this one, I figured I would get used to the smaller layout of the keyboard, but I received it and just hated it. With pain in my heart, I returned it.
If you like small keyboard layouts, I recommend this product 100% which is why I’m writing this review. It’s just not for me. The RGB leds were absolutely gorgeous and the keyboard overall felt very nice and durable when testing it out. The colour lavender it has is absolutely perfect.
All in all, if this keyboard existed in fullsize layout I would absolutely THROW my money at it because it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. But I just can’t with the small layout. So sad 🙁
Overall good, but it needs lubrication on the switches to reduce the noise

EL TECLADO ESTA PERFECTO.
La nica pega seria que cojea un poco y le he tenido que poner como una pegatina en la parte de arriba de detrs para que no cojee.
Por lo dems el teclado esta perfecto y funciona genial, muy recomendable.
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.

Best keyboard for it's price. We can change keycaps and also switches in this keyboard. Top for gaming. It has a great look and gives your set up an aesthetic look and all switches are programable and has lots of light effects and can also customize it. Using of the software is good not that simple but can be figured out easily. If you have an 1000 more to spend buy the yellow switches which is more faster than brown. But brown is not bad it is also very good but comparatively yellow is slightly good.
