GK GAMAKAY TK68 HE Rapid Trigger Mechanical Keyboard Hall Effect Hot-swap Magnetic Switch, Snap Tap, 68 Keys PBT Keycap Bluetooth/2.4GHz/Wired 65% RGB Esports Gaming Keyboard (Magnetic Phoenix Switch)

No showing of polling rate anywhere and the software’s pretty mid but otherwise it’s incredible keyboard

This my third (and easily now my favorite) mechanical keyboard! This keyboard is less than $100 but feels like it could go for more. The keycaps are highly stabilized and don't "click around" when being touched but not typed on, so you truly get as close as possible to a silent typing experience with a mechanical keyboard. My office space is within my bedroom, and my late-night typing doesn't wake my partner up. You still get the satisfying key click but the sound is significantly dampened. I imagine you could silence it even more with o-rings around the stem of the keycap, but the base of this keyboard is very dense so I haven't noticed any echoing related to keystrokes. Additionally, the keyboard is RGB, has bluetooth or wired compatibility, and has two different angles (besides laying flat) that the board can be raised to. Highly recommend for a mid-range priced keyboard!

Was sent a keyboard that had been heavily used already. Hair and brown grime throughout keys.

I have been wanting to purcahse a GK Gamakay for a while now and this was the size board that I wanted. I also wanted to try out some silent switches as I have need for gaming late night sessions and for productivity too. So this fit into those qualities. I am comparing this to the following magnetic boards that I have purchased recently: ASUS ROG Falchion Ace HFX Corsair K70 PRO TKL RGB (MGX Hyperdrive Switches) MADE68 Pro EWEADN Battle68 IROK MU68 EPOMAKER HE75 GK GAMAKAY TK68 HE The GK Gamakay is not the least used board of these, because it does have a purpose. It's biggest purpose is that they are silent switches. And I have a use-case for that when I game late when the wife and kids are sleep. Tougher switches, and they feel a bit mushy for my taste. But not bad. I prefer the Akko Fairy Switches or the Sea Salt Silent. However, they are good enough that I want to try out the tactile silent switches that they offer. The biggest gripe that I have with the board is less on its functionality and just the one that I purchased. The stab on the escape bar is loud. You might as well be pressing a regular mechanical switch. CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! There is nothing silent about it. I also noticed that when moving the board there is something moving around in the board. Like something dislodged inside and it slides around when disconnecting the board (if wired) or just moving it around as a wireless keyboard. It makes me wonder if this is why I am hearing the loud clack on the right side of the board as that is where most of the rattling is generating from. So, while I will give GK Gamakay another try. This is a bit disappointing because i have been wanting to try their products for so long. It kind of felt like a letdown. I'm hoping the tactile switches win me over as far as another silent switch option. But at this rate, I am not sure if I would venture purchasing another board as the QC on this one failed me miserably.

I love GamaKay keyboards! I have had two other ones and they both work fantastically. They are always well made. They are very sturdy, and made with PBT, which is the best plastic you can get for a mechanical keyboard. This keyboard is the reduced 68 key layout, which allows maximum ergonomics without sacrificing too much of the missing extra keys. The keyboard uses magnetic Hall Effect switches for maximum responsiveness and longevity. The keyboard is tri-mode. You can connect via wired mode, wireless mode (2.4Ghz), or Bluetooth. The Bluetooth mode allows you to connect up to three different devices and switch between them using the function keys. The keyboard also is backlit. It has several lighting patterns and brightness levels. You can access additional function layers that have alternate keys as well as change the backlight modes and levels, and also even program they keys using the function keys right out of the box. If you want the maximum functionality of they keyboard, though, you will need to download and install the driver software. The driver software contains access to all of the functions of the keyboard. With that being said, it is somewhat confusing, and has an unintuitive interface. With the software you can adjust the actuation point of the keys, and even add multiple actuation points and functions for a single key stroke. Actually setting it up is challenging as the software is confusing and somewhat ugly. The backlighting options are no better. There are a lot of them, but the names are not always very descriptive of the effect that you get. The backlighting is also surprisingly dim. With the lighting turned up to the maximum brightness setting, I can still barely see the backlighting effects. The keycaps also feel somewhat smaller than other keyboards that GamaKay offers. I guess it is the profile of the keys, but everything feels closer together than what I am used to. I got the silent switches, and they are very quiet, but still tactile. I don't use anything more than the lighting settings, firmware updates, and the actuation point adjustment, so for my needs the software works acceptably well, but if you are wanting this primarily for the advanced functions then be prepared for a headache. You can create an account to save your settings to the cloud and retrieve them if needed. There are also some shared custom settings you can download to the computer. The software only will recognize your keyboard in wired mode, so you will need to connect it via USB to change the settings using the software. I like this keyboard, but the backlight being so dim, along with the software being confusing reduces my rating by a star. Still, it is one heck of a keyboard and on part with what I would expect from GamaKay.

Very nice budget keyboard and a very nice color as well. It feels extremely well built and good quality as well. Has a nice weight to it as well. The RGB functions work quite well as well.

This keyboard is pretty quiet, the key feels nice when typing. I am using it for work and not for gaming. I compared to my other keyboard, it didn’t feel as sharp when typing. Overall the keyboard is nice, good to have it when I need to keep my typing volume down.

I have two Hall Effect keyboards, and this one is the least favorite of the two. The silent phoenix switches are mushy and sound terrible. If you want to hot swap some new switches, not all are compatible. The software is about par for these wooting clones, but the RGB is nearly non-existent. Nice presentation, but using it does not feel good.
