An excellent 'mechanical' keyboard with optical switches that is around $60.00 dollars. That sentence feels crazy to say, but it's the gosh darn truth. This review is mainly for the Gateron Red Optical switch version of this keyboard. Pros 1. Hot-swappable. If a switch dies just pull it out and replace it (not likely to happen considering no metal leaf), or get some different Gateron Optical switches like blacks or yellows to change the entire feel of the keyboard. Example, these red switches are incredibly easy to press. I really like how smooth the linear switch is, so I'd probably want to get some Gateron Optical Black switches. 2. Programmable. A really underappreciated plus is definitely going to be the software of this keyboard. It's not in English, but it definitely still gets the job done. There are also Macro's which I have started to use more often. Example, I was able to change around my Home and End keys so that they are more comfortably near the Function key. 3. That FAST response time. There is a noticeable difference between pressing a Cherry MX Blue switch down and having the character move and pressing this linear optical switch down and having the character move. I think there are two reasons for this. a. The reason that actually matters, the switch actuation point is higher at 1.5 mm versus a Cherry MX Blue being at 2.00 mm. b. The optical nature of the switch is said to have a response time of 0.2 mm. I don't know if this actually matters in the long run, but it's good to know that it may be faster. Cons 1. The key caps are okay, but I do think these switches need O-rings to be perfect. I think the sound of the key caps is my biggest issue with them; they just sound cheap and the O-rings keep them from hitting the bottom plate. My second issue is that they don't have a lot of texture to them so they're kind of like in-between being smooth and textured which is just not a good feeling at all. 2. Certain keys are not programmable. For some reason all of the keys that change lighting effects and swab profiles can't be disabled. I think this would be my only real problem with the keyboard on the software level. 3. THIS IS A PET PEEVE. I like the RGB, the screws guys, but come on. They're not black nor are they white, just plain silver. I can't not see them. They stare at me between the key caps. Neutral 1. There's a microphone in the keyboard for the Music back-lighting mode. I plan to mod this keyboard more, so I'll probably end up desoldering the microphone anyways. I wish it was more software and went by the audio playing on the computer since that would be sick. Current modifications: PBT key caps and O-rings. Queued modifications: Better stabilizers, desolder microphone, I plan to replace the O-rings with some type of foam insert that will dampen noise more and result in less fatigue, and I want to refine my function key layout and figure out some macros.

With respectable performance in most areas, the HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a good option for anyone wishing to improve their gaming experience. Intense gaming sessions are made enjoyable by the mechanical switches' haptic feedback and pleasant keystrokes. Users may customize the RGB lighting settings to make the keyboard uniquely their own, which is a fun bonus. There are several downsides to take into account even though it works well for gaming, particularly in terms of responsiveness and anti-ghosting features. It doesn't have the luxury feel of more expensive gaming keyboards, and the build quality is only adequate rather than spectacular. While it provides decent value for the price range in which it is sold, there are competing keyboards on the market with comparable features and performance at a competitive price. The HK GAMING GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard received a 4/5 rating overall and is a good option for gamers on a budget, but those willing to spend a little more money may discover better options with more durability and sophisticated functions.

La tastiera è ottima

Thought I put a quick review. I'm coming from an old Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches. Thought I would get a much more compact keyboard for the desk and for gaming. Overall impressions is good. The keyboard case is single piece of plastic which is mostly matte with some gloss highlights around. The plastic case is decently thick so that in tandem with the steel backplate, the entire thing feels really solid and does not creak or flex under reasonable torque. There are no adjustable feet on the keyboard, just 4 large rubber feet. The keyboard is connected via a usb-c cable which is nicely braided so it has a nice look to it. Braided cables has heaps of "memory" to it so it's fairly stiff, but given its going to be connected to your keyboard, which doesn't move, I have no complaints. 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.

Perfecto y con muchas combinaciones de color en el teclado

La petite à voulu s'offrir ce clavier, elle est quelque peu déçue car il est en QWERTY, même si les touches peuvent être déplacés, les symboles, accent et divers ne sont pas présent sur le clavier. Sinon pour le reste, la qualité est correcte, le clavier est très... Bruyant, je déteste ça. M'enfin, elle est très satisfait de son clavier.
