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 Silver Switches | 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 overall is a very good keyboard for typing and gaming. There are a couple problems however. First of all the USB-C cable that it comes with doesn’t actually work with the keyboard (or at least for me). As in the lights would turn on but i couldn’t type. And the actual software for the keyboard is extremely hard to find but once you find it it’s pretty easy to work around.
The Gk61 is a budget mechanical board that comes in at around 100 AUD. I bought the Gk61 with Gateron Browns and they feel amazing. The keycaps could be better as well as the software. RGB is alright and I love the function off turning off the RGB when needed. Overall 8/10

This keyboard is amazing, the lights are super bright even in a highly lit environment. The software needs some work. This is a great choice if you don’t want to have you wallet violated from the rear for the price of a ducky one 2 mini.
I love my GK61 I’ve never noticed any issues so far and the quality for 60$ is amazing. I got the Gateron Optical Red switches and there smooth as butter. Those optical switches are a lot less scratchy then the cherry Mx reds
-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.

It was ok but it was to sensitive, the optic yellows are a little to fast, I rest my finger and it presses the space bar.
The quality of the keyboard is great but the keys are just a bit shakey. I recommend buying the HyperX key caps for 60% keyboards because they fit great and are also good quality.
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.

Silver gateron keys are fast for FPS gaming. Typing is annoying because software is unintuitive.
Lights are very nice though.
Just saying this keyboard is ONLY good for gaming. So don’t try and wright an email with it But overall it will probably improve your game play.
Ich kann die Tastatur mit Yellow Switchs nur empfeheln.
Opte por cambiarme a este teclado por el espacio necesario para jugar, pase de tener un teclado Corsair K70 enorme a este de 60% y la verdad es la mejor inversin que he realizado, responde rpido, aumenta el espacio del escritorio, su ruido puede ser un poco fuerte para muchos, pero cuando ya estas jugando creme que no vas a notar nada, llevo ya usndolo por un par de meses y es la mejor compra que he realizado
Pros.
– Excelente material
– Muy buena sensacin al tacto
– Buena construccin y iluminacin del producto
Cons. (ninguna que afecte el producto)
– El software es un poco bsico y confuso
– Tardaras un poco en acostumbrarte al uso pero despus es una joya
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!

I liked these better than the one I had. The one I had was the Royal Kludge. Blue sticks. Kinda loud, so after getting these. It’s way quieter than my old one. These one has Brown Switches which are nice. Also more responsive
Arrived super fast. Easy to use, keys very accurate. Gamer son loves it. An excellent product at what I’m told is a really good price.

This is my new favourite keyboard. Small, compact and The rgb looks amazing. The gateron reds and also very smooth. I prefer this over my $300 razer huntsman. The detachable USB c cable is also neat. From a gamer to another. If you need a small rgb keyboard that has good quality. Get This

Good quality, I’m just having issues with remove the switches they just won’t budge can anyone help me out?
Very good keyboard quality for the price but the software website is in Chinese and is very sketchy but the actual keyboard works really well.

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
Works as described delivered a day early the packaging did arrive a little bit damaged but didn’t harm anything inside wasn’t expecting a braided cable very happy

For the price this is the best you can find. Really impressed. Would recommend for a first mechanical keyboard.
Very impressed so far. Keys feel great but it’s not as loud as blue switches. Nice RGB patterns as well. This is my first 60% keyboard and I only wish I made the switch sooner!

amazing keyboard awesome for the price response time is faster than the apex pro that is 0.5ms and the gk61 is 0.2ms. the software was a bit confusing but got through made a awesome colour scheem and i have not had any issues with the keyboard i would recommend
Mis l’preuve par mon garon des heures d’utilisation et tout va trs bien un peu bruyant m mais il semble aime

RGB not the greatest but switches are ok could we sautered better but amazing bang for your buck
The hardware is great for the price. The software for the lights is hard to navigate around but if the light aren’t the main selling point I’d recommend this one.
I’m honestly blown away by how good this keyboard is for just 60 dollars. At first I felt the RGB wouldn’t be that bright or good. I was totally wrong the RGB is really good and can be set to a persons preference. The over all product is perfect for anybody looking for a 60% keyboard. I’ve seen many videos about ducky keyboard and this is way better. For the price this keyboard is a steal honestly. 10/10 SUPER RECOMMENDED.

This is a sturdy built keyboard for the money it costs. At half the price of other mechanical keyboards, you get a compact keyboard with the essentials. If you don’t want many frills but are looking for a mechanical feel and a 60% format, this is a great buy.
I went through the process of lubing each switch/stabilizer and doing some mods. Out of the box, the keyboard sounds just as any other off-the-shelf mechanical keyboard would sound. After lubing and mods, it sounds like a true high-end mechanical keyboard. Taking the keyboard apart showed the admirable production quality. Nothing is high end, but nothing inside is super cheap either. This will be a durable keyboard that doesn’t seem like it should run into any problems unless there is an issue with the PCB, which is unlikely.
The RGB effects are nice and the customization for macros and lighting is nice. It provides the essentials. The only downside to the lighting is that any colour that isn’t red, green, or blue will be an awkward gradient through the keycaps. For example, orange will be a weird red/green mix with only orange right in the center of the key. White is a gradient from blue, to pink, to purple. I find that it looks cool, but it’s definitely not good at replicating solid colours.
Overall, beautiful keyboard that fits all of my needs. Unless you’re a keyboard enthusiast looking to spend $200 on a 60% keyboard, this is your best bet.

ive been wanting a red switch keyboard for a while now and i bought this one and for the price it feels like a ducky keyboard. Amazing keyboard i havent had any issues except i t may take a day or two to get used to if you were using different switches before. 5 out of 5 star keyboard
Love this keyboard its compact and takes up much less desk space than a standard keyboard. The keys feel awesome and are easily swappable. The rgb is very well done and the rgb software is very simple to use. Great construction and control layer mapping is relatively simple and streamlined
It was really good other than the fact that the directions sheet was not the right one for the keyboard I ordered. Everything else was amazing
Its a really nice keyboard overall for the price but the only issue is after a while u can feel the keys kinda scraping on eachother when u press down.
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.
Disclaimer
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!
For the price this is the best keyboard you can get. The rgb is bright, The keycaps are pretty good quality and the switches are solid. If you want to get into keyboards this is a good keyboard to customize. Just take into consideration that if you want to change the switches they have to be optical switches.

I bought this 61key gaming keyboard for my son and it was exactly what he was looking for ! The smaller size is perfect, fantastic quality, multiple color and key settings and UBS power cord hooked right into his xbox. The delivery was quick and we are very pleased with this purchase.

Would definitely recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a 60% keyboard to enhance their setup. I have owned this keyboard for enough time to make an honest review, and I don’t think i’m ever going to be looking back. I don’t need a Number pad or arrow keys as I use my PC to mainly Game and this keyboard allows me to free up desk space to flick and move my mouse around. I used to have a full size keyboard and always bump my mouse into it but since upgrading to this 60% setup I haven’t hit my keyboard since! I like the RGB option but it is a learning curve to use the software as its covered in broken Chinese/English but that is the trade off for the price since I cant seem to find another 60% keyboard for a similar price unless I order directly from china (but id have to wait a month for shipping that may never even be shipped). I would definitely recommend this keyboard as the clicks sound great the Gateron optical red switches are amazing and responsive definitely faster than my old cherry MX red, and blues I’ve owned in the past I like how the cable is a braided, and the RGB lights are very bright. All in all it is a great keyboard and would definitely give it a 7/10 as the software could be better.

The keycaps have a matte finish on the top, with gloss-finish on all sides. This is very different to the keys on my K70 which was all-gloss. The matte finish is definitely a winner because it doesn’t show fingerprints readily. The gloss-sides however show off grime, dirt, scratches and dust easily. You have to be carefully when removing the keys on this board with the included the keycap puller because it will scratch up the gloss-sides of the keys! The Shine through legends are decent and allow the backlight to shine through. The font is a bit “gamery” but not as bad as some others and I soon got over it quickly. However, the thing you WONT get over will be the white-printed secondary legends on the keycaps. You’ll notice that this keyboard has its F-keys, arrow keys and other functions (num-lock, scroll lock etc) as secondary functions. These can be quickly accessed by holding “Fn” in the bottom right and pressing the relevant key. The problem is that these legends are not durable. The appearance of the printing is great; It’s nice and crisp. But it fades incredibly easily. I’ve only used the keyboard for a few weeks and the printed legends on the A-Z part of the keyboard has this dull stained look. So far the legends haven’t started peeling, but the white print stains easily. For some it might not be a problem because you’ll hopefully remember the location of all the keys by them. But is definitely something for the manufacturer to improve upon on the next iteration.
The RGB lighting is cool. All the colours under the rainbow, except for white. The white colour looks more like a light blue. Odd, but definitely not a deal-breaker.
The Gateron Optical Brown switches feel pretty marvelous. They are very smooth, with a tactile bump much more pronounced that the K70’s cherry mx brown. The downward travel is also smoother, with noticeably less “grit/sandy” friction feeling. This makes the key travel feel much shorter. I’m not sure if its true, but these optical brown switches feel like they have a much shorter travel distance than the mx browns. I got used to it, and am not sure if I prefer it. For typing, i feel like I want a little bit more travel distance for comfort. It feels abrupt as I’m bottoming them out. Perhaps I need more time. The only other thing is noise. It doesn’t have a loud click, but you will definitely hear them thud everytime you poke them the full distance down. I found it to be louder than my K70.
Lastly, it has no wrist rest. This is the one thing that I missed from the k70. I’m definitely a wrist-rest user. The K70 has an included plastic detachable wrist rest. Although nothing special, it allows me to be a bit “lazy” when playing games on an extended session as I can rest my fingers on the wasd keys and that’s all. Without the wrist rest, I certainly felt the strain of holding my hands up on the wasd keys. What I 100% missed is the “detachable” aspect of the K70’s wrist rest. If you move your keyboard, the wrist-rest moves with it. Unless you glue your wrist rest to your GK71, every adjustment of the keyboard will require a follow up adjustment to the accompany wrist rest which gets very frustrating.
Otherwise that’s it. If you are wondering if you should buy this keyboard for $80AUD, then go ahead. There’s definitely worse that you could buy. The only problem is the cheap secondary legends printing on the keycaps.

Lastly, it has no wrist rest. This is the one thing that I missed from the k70. I’m definitely a wrist-rest user. The K70 has an included plastic detachable wrist rest. Although nothing special, it allows me to be a bit “lazy” when playing games on an extended session as I can rest my fingers on the wasd keys and that’s all. Without the wrist rest, I certainly felt the strain of holding my hands up on the wasd keys. What I 100% missed is the “detachable” aspect of the K70’s wrist rest. If you move your keyboard, the wrist-rest moves with it. Unless you glue your wrist rest to your GK71, every adjustment of the keyboard will require a follow up adjustment to the accompany wrist rest which gets very frustrating.
Otherwise that’s it. If you are wondering if you should buy this keyboard for $80AUD, then go ahead. There’s definitely worse that you could buy. The only problem is the cheap secondary legends printing on the keycaps.
The keycaps have a matte finish on the top, with gloss-finish on all sides. This is very different to the keys on my K70 which was all-gloss. The matte finish is definitely a winner because it doesn’t show fingerprints readily. The gloss-sides however show off grime, dirt, scratches and dust easily. You have to be carefully when removing the keys on this board with the included the keycap puller because it will scratch up the gloss-sides of the keys! The Shine through legends are decent and allow the backlight to shine through. The font is a bit “gamery” but not as bad as some others and I soon got over it quickly. However, the thing you WONT get over will be the white-printed secondary legends on the keycaps. You’ll notice that this keyboard has its F-keys, arrow keys and other functions (num-lock, scroll lock etc) as secondary functions. These can be quickly accessed by holding “Fn” in the bottom right and pressing the relevant key. The problem is that these legends are not durable. The appearance of the printing is great; It’s nice and crisp. But it fades incredibly easily. I’ve only used the keyboard for a few weeks and the printed legends on the A-Z part of the keyboard has this dull stained look. So far the legends haven’t started peeling, but the white print stains easily. For some it might not be a problem because you’ll hopefully remember the location of all the keys by them. But is definitely something for the manufacturer to improve upon on the next iteration.
The RGB lighting is cool. All the colours under the rainbow, except for white. The white colour looks more like a light blue. Odd, but definitely not a deal-breaker.
The Gateron Optical Brown switches feel pretty marvelous. They are very smooth, with a tactile bump much more pronounced that the K70’s cherry mx brown. The downward travel is also smoother, with noticeably less “grit/sandy” friction feeling. This makes the key travel feel much shorter. I’m not sure if its true, but these optical brown switches feel like they have a much shorter travel distance than the mx browns. I got used to it, and am not sure if I prefer it.

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.

This keyboard over all is great, The switches feel great considering the overall price and the build quality is fairly good as well. My only dislike was the key caps, but those can be replaced with some affordable abs key caps and still be cheaper then most 60 percent keyboards.

is cheap, its extremely customizable, and the build quality is not bad at all for how cheap it is, the red switches are great just like any other red switches i have tried the only bad thing about this keyboard is its software but that’s to be expected at this price point.
A-1 60% for the money color display isnt the best as some colors bleed together and the software is in Chinese even if you install the English version but all in all for the money I can’t complain , very comfortable , smooth keys the stock caps aren’t bad by any means how ever I swapped them for hyper x pudding caps and it’s nice to have the option to switch your switches should you want a different key feel
Works quite well for such an inexpensive keyboard. I like that it’s small enough that I can place it right overtop of my laptop’s original keyboard. It’s mildly annoying that the number and function keys are combined into one, same with the arrow keys, but it doesn’t ruin the experience. The RGB lighting is pretty good, though as others have mentioned the R|G|B LEDs under the keys are visibly separated a bit, which makes the transitions between colors not quite seamless. That’s a fairly minor aesthetic issue, though, it still does the job. Overall, for the size and price I paid, I’m quite happy with it.

Great keyboard for gaming and browsing the web the software was a little hard to figure out but once u do its really easy yo cosamize the lighting add macros and even change what the keys do all together i love this keyboard the light could be a little brighter shining through the key kaps but under the key cap its really brigh

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.

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.

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.
-Rgb is fantastic
-Blue switches are clicky
-But the usb C is worse quality and it stops working when you touch the cable

Nice keyboard, the software to play with the lights color is not necessary. The default options are already good enough.
