## Description

Product Description 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. Size FN Functions Fn+Back: Turn on/off light effect. Fn+P/[{: Brightness down/up, 21 level adjustable.F n+Q: Online model, you can choose to use many backlight and macros.F n+W/E/R: Offline model.F n+W: model 1, default function - normal keyboard.F n+E: model 2, default function - F1, F2, F3…….F n+R: model 3, default function - PS, SL, PB, Ins, HM, PU, Del, End, PD.

(Hot Swappable with Optical switches only) IP64 The keyboard's PCB is spill and dust resistant. Package content Comes with GK61 Keyboard USB-C Cable Plastic keycap puller Switch Puller

Review: Review as a mechanical keyboard enthusiast - I have been using this keyboard for over a month now I believe. And from my limited experience i can safely comment on a few things Packaging - Ok the packaging for this is pretty shady lol. My box was all dinged up, the sticker that is supposed to hold it close was open and lost all it's adhesive :) But regardless, inside the keyboard was pretty safe and hadn't moved or been damaged at all Build - Sturdy build with no loose parts or rattling' - Aluminum switch plate feels premium and gives a good feel - Keycaps are decent, not the best but didn't expect them to be. I would suggest upgrading to PBT keycaps as this board is pretty much build to be customized. - Cable is of decent quality as well, so is the keycap puller and switch puller - This keyboard also says "pre lubed" like every other mechanical keyboard lol, but it's very minimal and has no effect on the sound/feel even if you wipe it off. I recommend lubing them on your own. I would recommend Petreplus 2700 if you're not looking to spend 5k on 10grams of krytox205g0 lol. I have a review on the lube too, and in my experience, it's a good lube if used correctly. Switches - I have the brown switches. Good, fast, smooth, and sound if very pleasing as well. - Again, pRe lUbEd, so wipe that stuff off, and lube them yourself, that will just elevate the experience. Cons - The PCB and switch plate sit very deep into the case, which is good for sturdiness and security, but then if you want to add foam to your keyboard, that would be a bit difficult. Maybe i didn't do it right, but thats my experience. - The software is janky AF. HK gaming really needs to focus on this, otherwise, their brand image will never be able to get better as their software feels like something from Windows XP. But the keyboard isn't very software dependant, so it isn't much of an issue. There are keys to switch between light modes, but if you want to keep custom lighting then you'll need the software, which is relatively simply to use, even though it looks very very old lol. - This board is a 60% which might be small for a lot of people. I didn't mind it at all, in fact I loved it. I edit videos and photos, and i didn't face any problems, and I love the compact size. But I know most people don't, so listing it here as a con. All in all, I would recommend this board due to its high customizability. You can go for the Keychron V2 hot swap version if you want something bigger than a 60% as well, but this was cheaper than that for me and based on reviews pretty much giving in direct competition as a good budget mechanical keyboard But I am happy with my decision, hope this helped you in making yours too.
Review: Very good keyboard for fps games (gateron optical silvers) - Picked up the gateron optical silvers switches. Ive always used blue swtiches for gaming and work but frequently felt they were heavy for gaming so decided to get a new tkl keyboard with red switches just for gaming but I came across gk60 instead and loved the aspect of 60% because it saves me so much space. I opted for the silvers because they are really smooth and have a very fast actuation response. They are known to be one of the fastest switches after yellows. I've tested yellows from a friend and personally didn't feel like it was the right fit for me. I took a gamble by picking the silver switches and they are perfect. Much softer than reds and slightly heavier than yellows. It the perfect sweet spot. For gaming they are the beast but for typing we'll need practice with it because there is a possibility of actuating another key hence leading to mistakes but that's because they have a really quick key response time and that's why they are the best for gaming. If you're looking to write documents or programming and a casual gamer who doesn't play much fps games. Then I would recommend you pick Brown's. I myself use blue swtiches for work and silvers just for gaming. ( You can see my desk setup pic) Now the sound, silver switches are linear so they don't have the clicky sound that blue swtiches make and tbh I prefer it that way. Ppl you play with hate hearing clicky keyboard coz they miss out on enemy foot steps plus it is very distracting while gaming. Hence I use the blues just for work like typing mails, documents etc. Ive attached a video for sound comparison. I definitely recommend this keyboard to fps gamers (serious and casual) its worth it !!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewing one month later - quite satisfied
*by @***S on 10 June 2021*

The keyboard: Small, yet functional keyboard. Comes with a long (5ft i guess?) Usb-c cable which I was quick to trade with my phone's short charger (life hacks). Per key RGB is plenty good, didn't bother using the software (didn't recognize my keyboard) for custom key mapping. Everyone reviewing mentions that the ABS key caps are frosted (or matt) finish on top and glossy on the sides, but the one I received has all matt finish key caps. I honestly like matt over glossy as glossy gets easily scratched. Also, there is no microphone under the space bar for music synced RGB (some early reviews mentioned they have it), I can't be bothered as I don't use computer speakers anyway. My experience: Despite being all plastic, GK61 has some heft to it. This is my first experience, albeit first in a very long time, with a mechanical keyboard, so I haven't yet gotten accustomed to the nuances of a mech keyboard. Not able to match the typing speed on my Blade 15's keyboard yet, all in time until I develop finger memory. Haven't had issues while gaming (CS:GO mostly), but encountering a lot of errors while typing mostly due to low actuation distance of Gat Silvers and no tactile (pfft, i know right?) feedback on key presses. So, further pressing down the key caps obviously doesn't do anything, but feels quite odd if not pressing keys all the way (idk probably just me as I'm not used to it yet). Minor con: One minor quality issue I have with my keyboard is that the bigger key caps (shift, enter, space bar etc) wobble when you nudge them longitudinally (tangentially to the plane of the keyboard) at key cap ends. My guess is due to cheap quality stabilisers. I'll probably look into upgrading them later on. Future prospects: That's something would great to experiment on this cheap (in comparison) keyboard, modding the insides. My first mod will probably be adding a regular foam inside for a some thoccy-ness (everyone loves thoccy keyboards right?). Followed by stabilisers and then lubrication, perhaps. Tl;dr: - Good enough for a modding journey. - Choose your switches wisely. - Less options for optical switches. Note: Attached photo of my humble desk setup lol! High five Poverty!
