Gateron Optical Switches – The fastest Switches for gaming!
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.

Fantastic for gaming & general use
his keyboard is amazing with a very short actuation point which is very good for gaming but can be frustrating for general use. But the one major issue I have with this keyboard is that three is no real easy way to get a keyboard program/software to fully customize the RGB which I love and is so good and the actuation point which is not ideal for casual typing as even the slightest taps can lead to a mistake. The switches I have are amazing (gateron blacks) but I’ve also tried the yellows and I like them a lot as well. overall it’s a great keyboard and if you’re into gaming I do recommend i
I love this keyboard no problems at all , inexpensive overall great product!

Preisleistung Top
Kann die Tastatur nur empfehlen, habe sie jetzt schon knapp ein Jahr und sie funktioniert immer noch so gut wie am Anfang.
I love this keyboard! Great for gaming. Except the rgb is a little dimmer on the program, only if you use the perfect colors. The built in rgb options are good, and the program is easy to maneuver around! Overall, it is a 9/10 keyboard for its price! The brown switches sound amazing with the spacebar not being all that loud. Great price for a 60% keyboard with custom rgb setting (no moving rgb for the custom setting though, only the base settings). And a plus side is it comes with a keycap puller!

This keyboard has lasted me over 2 years and I only upgraded because I didn’t want a 60%. Very good keyboard especially for price
Very cute and small, takes up very little space
Wish I paid more attention to the keys on the screen, will take some getting use to but it’s a high quality keyboard and I hope it keeps working for months more as I’ve had problems with previous keyboards having keys randomly stop working.
Got it for my kid for Christmas.. he says so far it is working good. If things change will let ya know!

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

The RGB is amazing and very bright, and the size is perfect for gamming and really the only bad thing is that if you want to do any moding (like a tape mod) you can't do to much because its plastic and it will warp.

Absolute steal!
Bought it for my brother and he loves it. He’s a beefy one and the keyboard is the perfect size for him I worried it be a bit small. Lo and behold it’s bright, great reaction time, sounds beautiful and most importantly he loves it. I’ll have to buy one for myself soo
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.
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
La tastiera ottima per giocare

La tastiera ottima per giocare
Il prodotto di un buon materiale e il rapporto qualit prezzo ottimo.
Ottima MA
Ottima tastiera, design accattivante ma molto alta, in caso abbiate postura piu alta rispetto al piano di appoggio (altezza gomiti > scrivania) niente da dire ma se come me siete allo stesso livello o inferiore avrete bisogno di un poggiapolsi.
Risposta tasti ottima latenza pari a 0 , pressione e sound tasti spettacolari.
Altre 2 pecche: tasto shift progettato male, essendo il tasto pi grosso degli altri la pressione a volte non viene rilevata dallo switch per via della collocazione di quest’ultimo; altro problema, posizione dei tasti FN scomoda
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.
well nice looking keyboard compact and everything else but i can see to use the F1 to F12 keys and cant Ctrl+Alt + del also the software is bugged cant update firmware.
Clavier QWERTY
La petite voulu s’offrir ce clavier, elle est quelque peu due car il est en QWERTY, mme si les touches peuvent tre dplacs, les symboles, accent et divers ne sont pas prsent sur le clavier.
Sinon pour le reste, la qualit est correcte, le clavier est trs… Bruyant, je dteste a. M’enfin, elle est trs satisfait de son clavier.
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.

Terrible stabilisers but great backup keyboard for carry-about purposes.
The stabilisers in this keyboard are absolutely terrible – super rattle-y any and in general just wildly unpleasant, however otherwise this keyboard is a great form factor for easy portability between computers. if you build a lot of PCs or work around them a lot this is a cheap and handy option for carrying between systems. If you’re gaming, I recommend looking elsewhere, possibly at brands such as Epomaker, or building your own – your keyboard is one of the most important tools in your life so get a good one!
Everything is great... except the software
Currently writing this on my GK61 with silver switches which I have used for about a month now, the keeb is great, mine came pre lubed and sounds alright stock. The main issue I have is the tacky software, which feels like a very unexperienced person put up in 10 minutes. Its extremly buggy, and I found it was difficult to manuever. Other than that, the layout may be difficult to adapt to, as it uses an American ISO Layout.
Grandson Love’s it !!!
Bought for our Grandson for his Birthday he’s really happy he says it’s really fast , Brilliant for gaming, and he loves the colour ( bought the Red )and the way it lights up it looks really expensive, great quality for the price fast delivery Thank You !!!

Really Nice
Only had it for a short while.build quality seems good the only gripe I have is that the GK6Xplus dosen’t work with the US model
Amazing Keyboard!
Keyboard was amazing! Was trying out a pre-built to see how it was (after not using a pre-built for a good few years), and the gk61 was surprisingly good! 100% reccomened to anyone who wants to try out pre-builds or just anyone who is looking for the best keyboard apart from a few, and the price for this keyboard i’d personally say is way under!

THE BEST
Ik heb nog nooit zo’n fijn keyboard gehad. Zelf heb ik de Gateron Optical Silver Switches. Het toetsenbord reageert enorm snel met deze switches. Als je nog snellere wil dan moet je voor de Yellow optie gaan. Persoonlijk vond ik deze switches te snel.
Het grootste voordeel is denk ik dat hij hot swap is. Dat betekent dat je de switches kan veranderen dus bijvoorbeeld van Silver switches naar Blue switches. Je kan ook de keycaps veranderen. Dit is een 60% keyboard dus als je bijvoorbeeld de F11 toets wilt gebruiken dan doe je FN + F11. Dan drukt hij deze toets in. Ook zit er in dit keyboard een paar RGB settings. Als je wilt weten hoe je die moet gebruiken kijk dan in de handleiding die erbij zit!
Als je de software bij dit toetsenbord wilt dan moet je naar deze site gaan: https://hk-gaming.com/ en dan naar software. Daar staat dit keyboard tussen.
Samengevat: Will jij nou een goedkoop keyboard die hot swap is en RGB heeft. Die naast gaming ook zeer geschikt is voor typing, kies dan dit keyboard. Een echte aanrader!!!

Muy buen teclado para ser óptico-mecanico
Pues llevo como 5 meses, para esta review considero que se mantiene todava en su rango de precio establecido, lo nico que me aqueja era que no lo poda comprar en switches amarillos y pues que la caja me llego puteada, nada serio pero pues aun as lo menciono para que no se asusten si llega el suyo as.
Ahora, me toco llevarme el de switches brown por que ocupo que sea mas “silencioso” que los blue o red, sirve muy muy muy bien estos switches para escrituras largas, y pues para gustos, colores, puedes llevarte de un tipo de switch y pedir otros de la misma marca para personalizarlo.
Recomiendo este teclado para que le hagas pequeas modificaciones, como lubricar los switches , ponerle O rings, tiene un compartimento para una batera para ser un teclado BT, pero para mi, ah lo dejo, ojo que apenas se notara el uso de las teclas o space-bar por el tipo de plstico, as que igual por dejarle algo mas puedes comprar keycaps que le Queden de Pbt y hacer que se sienta mejor.
Es una buena “base” en mi criterio, se presta a mucho y es en general uno de los teclados de gama media que recomiendo yo.

Quality multi colour gaming keyboard
I brought for my daughter, she says it’s very responsive and has a quality build.
Really good
It’s a really nice keyboard, especially if you are new to mechanical keyboards, I recommend getting a set of keycaps like I did, the stock ones aren’t as good as some other ones you can get, overall great keyboard

Very Good Gaming And Typing Keyboard But Bad RGB Software
This Keyboard Is Very Good Gor The Price It Is Okay And It Is Good At Typing And Gaming, The Switches Feel Good And Smooth, This Keyboard Is Not Height Adjustable But Angle They Give Is Good And Isn’t Annoying But This Could Be Different To Other People. My Biggest Problem Is That The RGB Software Is Terrible And Not Good At All It Is Very Basic And For The Price You Are Paying This Is Something Basic You Would Expect So Do Not Buy This. Instead Buy A GK61 From The Brand Epomaker Skyloong As It Is The Same Keyboard But With Good RGB Software And Quite Literally The Same Keyboard As This One But Just With Different Switches (Maybe)
And Better RGB Software And That Keyboard Can Be Found On Their Website Or Amazon. This Keyboard Would Have Been Better If It Had Better RGB Software Or If It Had A Lower Price.
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.

Durable keyboard
Bought for my 11 year old to use in conjunction with his Xbox. It is perfect, good size and very hard wearing considering how vigorously the keys are used! According to him it’s easy to use and set up. It was a good buy and reasonable price!
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.

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

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.
wicked gaming keyboard
perfect size for gaming, lots of features for rbg customization to suit your preferences. the keys are clicky but not too loud and feels really satisfying to use. perfect for gaming. can’t get any better for the price
I love this keyboard, it feels awesome to type on and has suck a satisfying feel/sound. I also love the colour and design, it was practically the only 60% mechanical keeb I could find that was in purple, to go with my setup
HOWEVER, one word of warning – it’s a US layout. No sign key and the @ symbol is Shift+2, not Shift+’. Honestly though, for me this isn’t that much of a big deal. It actually still inputs as a sign even when I press Shift+3, and I’m kind of used to the swapped @ placement due to using Macs throughout my life. There is no # key anywhere so that may be an issue for some. I also had to play around in the HK gaming keyboard software to get the Up arrow to only input as / so that I could still type a question mark. Not a huge deal though and I just swapped Up to Right Shift in the software – it’s next to it anyway
As my first mechanical keyboard I am genuinely over the moon with it – the quality is great. There’s a tiny bit of metal ringing sound when you type (especially using the spacebar) but I don’t mind this. The RGB lighting is nice and has a good amount of different settings/colours to choose from. I would honestly rate 5 stars if I had actually received a UK layout, but consider my rating a 4.5.
Best Budge
Really good for a budget keyboard. I love clicky switches and it’s just so satisfying.

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
Really nice keeb especially for first time custom keeb users. 60% is a lovely size for more mouse freedom. Hot swappable so you can easily change the keycaps and switches. Usb C is on the left hand side of the keeb which can be annoying if you don’t have a long cable and your pc is on your right . Rgb is nice and easy to install the software or you can change the rgb on the keyboard pressing two buttons can’t remember which though. Overall great value for money
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.
