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

I really enjoy the size of this keyboard. Prior to this one I had always used TKL versions and was skeptical to make the change to this smaller form factor. After spending some time with this keyboard I can honestly say that I don't miss the extra keys. The switches are very smooth and the keyboard itself is quite sturdy and I feel very happy with the amount I spent on it overall. The lighting software isn't the greatest but I changed it to my desired static color and have been happy with it.

This is a great starter keyboard for anyone getting their feet wet in the custom keyboard hobby. But you need to lube these switches and get better keycaps (the pudding keypads from HK are perfect for this board). I got the black optical switches for this board and they have the perfect actuation force at 60g. After lubing the switches and stabilizers, with a little bit of switch filming, this is a great beginner board! Oh and you can also download the software for this board on HK's website.

This board is awesome. Poker style layout. PCB has a different screw layout so cases aren’t compatible. But the cases made for it are amazing and very high quality. Software for it is meh but isn’t even remotely as bad or hard to use as all the geniuses on here claim... literally the only thing in mandarin is the name of the color profiles... just rename it if you want to use the profile Einstein....

I had never bought a ~60% keyboard before since I work in a pharmacy and the software we use makes heavy use of the nav keys and number pad, so usually I wouldn't have even considered such a board. In fact I came across this board as I was buying the parts to build a 96 key keyboard because I do game a fair bit so I wanted something smaller to give me more desk space while still have the Numpad and arrow keys so I can lug it to work and be as efficient and quick as I am with a full size or enter alt-codes or do taxes at home. This board caught my eyes for two reasons: Hot-swappable and Optical switches. The very small form factor is kind of a turn off for me because I can only comfortably use it for gaming, but I figures the hot-swappableness would make it a good test board the packs of switches I'd just bought (more on that later). The packaging was not impressive, not that I care, I just thought I'd mention it. I was very surprised by the build and even the fit and finish at this price point, however. The keycaps are the cheap double shots with the stenciled lettering so I'm not a fan of the look, but it's not too gamer-y and they can easily be replaced if it really starts to bother me. It's a plastic case, but the keys are mounted in a metal plate, and it's a minuscule form-factor, so it feels very sturdy; it doesn't flex /at all/ and is heavier than I thought it'd be. That's impressive to me for this price, but what prompted me to write this review was the fact that it sounds /incredible/ because all the stabilizers are lubed /out of the box/ and they don't budge /at all/. That astonished me as I have bought several mechanical keyboards at various price points: An MK Typist with box whites, a Logitech G Pro with GX Blues, A James Donkey 007 with Gat Browns (smoothest cherry brown clones on the market), a Logi G613, a logi 610 Orion with cherry reds, and a few cheap mechs on top of that. None of them came with lubed anything straight out of the box and the result, combined with the Optical Gateron Blacks I opted for making this one of the smoothest, best-sounding and most satisfying keyboards I have ever typed on and I'm usually a tactile-switch guy. Really nice bang for the buck if you're into smaller keebs like this. --Side note: I get the impression the switches are less complex and therefore, cheaper, which allows more attention to be paid to fit and finish. HOWEVER. The Board /is/ hot-swappable, but /only/ with other optical switches, which means no traditional mechanical keyswitches, whether they're cherry, gateron, khail, or a boutique switch can be used at all. Period. The switches are basically just little plastic boxes with a spring that when pressed, block an infrared(?) laser to signal actuation, which is why I think the switches are very cheap to manufacture, and it's also why they are so unbelievably smooth, even compared to a lubed cherry red. -- The software was confusing and not that great but I personally didn't feel the need to use it since I don't care all that much about RGB or macros so it didn't bother me too much, though your mileage may vary in that regard. In conclusion, if you are a fan of the form factor and want to try optical switches, buy it. The build is solid and (assuming all boards have pre-lubed stabs like mine did) it's lubed! For $50! I personally can't use it for more than just gaming or typing up this review, so it's not optimal for me, but if you just need a small board with enough keys for gaming or chatting on discord this will be plenty for you.

Great quality. My son loves it.

Amazing quality for the price -Linear switches -Amazing RGB lights -Heavy/no sliding -Detachable cable The volume control isn't too great considering its a 60% keyboard but it does have the function keys for it so Its as good as your gonna get on any 60% keyboard Overall probably the best 60% keyboard your gonna get for this cheep

Great keyboard that feels nice and the lights are nice. The lights can be controlled through the software app.

I have had 0 issues in the couple of months that I’ve had this keyboard. The keys sound fine, not too loud in my opinion. Great for the price. I miss the number pad but that’s on me for buying a 60% keyboard.

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.

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.

Hello, good keyboard but i have one problem i have two J keys and not an L key.

Produto excelente ! Chegou no prazo ! Qualidade ótima !

Plus petit se manie très bien
