HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 61 Keys Multi Color RGB Illuminated LED Backlit Wired Programmable for PC/Mac Gamer Tactile (Gateron Optical Brown)

Its not a full sized keyboard, im frustrated using it on my sons pc whenever i do so, he likes it for gaming but typing anything on it is painful coming from a standard keyboard (which is all fine and good as this isnt a standard keyboard!) but my dislike is the cheap feel of it - the sound, the feel, the bounce of the keys just isnt nice - this is all very subjective so YMMV but id never want to use this long term. On the plus side - LED lights :) - it seems that everything must have glowing lights on it for it to be used for gaming.. so this does as well. full spectrum lights - just because. It comes with a keycap puller so i guess you could customize the heck out of it if you really wanted to but im VERY sure it will stay as it is. just MEH by me.

I was originally looking to buying a Razer Huntsman Mini for a 60% gaming keyboard with their 1.0mm actuation point optical switches. I saw some reviews demonstrating Razers switches sound terrible because they added a loose per key stabilizer. Then I realized this GK61 has everything the Huntsman Mini can provide without the rattly stabilizers and its literally half the cost. Go with the Silver or Yellow Gateron Optical Switch for that same 1.0 mm actuation point. Note: the speed of Optical vs Mechanical keyboard switches is likely too tiny to make a difference in gaming but the higher actuation point (1.0mm vs 2.0mm for most mechanical switches) does definitely make a difference. Highly recommended keyboard from this gamer.

This keyboard is highly recommended, its a great keyboard in terms of responsiveness and Build quality, while also being hot swappable. One thing I disliked about this keyboard however is the malfunctioning of led on the home row and a failed led on the d key.

At first, it worked wonderfully; granted the new spacing took some time adjusting, but beyond that, the keyboard worked and sounded great. But just one month in (unfortunately RIGHT after the return period was up), the p-key stopped working. Either it wouldn’t write the letter at all or it spammed it—you never really know which one you were going to get. Regardless it was so annoying having to copy and paste that letter each time I wanted to use it so now the keyboard’s just collecting dust, real ironic considering it was basically brand new. I am extremely disappointed by this defective situation. The only thing abstaining me from a single star is that it at least worked well for a little while…

I liked it and it felt very good, but when trying to be on calls it could be annoying or if I was playing games where you hit the keys alot, it could be very loud and it would be hard to hear the game.

I only bought the GK61 keyboard less than a year ago, it’s already having countless issues such as some keys double clicking, other keys randomly not working, then days later they will work flawlessly. I’ve tried the keyboard on different computers thinking it could have been my PC, but the issues continued to happen. I find it suppressing that the keyboard is having issues so soon. The keyboard has bee lightly used and has been taken care of. Any support of customer service would be amazing. Thanks, Luke

It was a little small

One thing I dont like bout the keyboard is how some of the sounds echos through and you can hear some hard key presses which I do a lot but thats just me being picky. The optical red switches are still very fast but I made a small buyers mistake and didnt buy the yellow switches but I can add them later on. This is definitely a great budget option for when you dont have a $100+ to spend on a Apex TKL or a Razer Huntsman Mini. I already see myself getting faster gameplay after only a month in.

My grandson loves that it’s small and lights up.

I love this keyboard no problems at all , inexpensive overall great product!
