    this is a great affordable hot swap keyboard for anyone trying to get into the stressful, depraved, and wonderful world of customizable mechanical keyboards. when i first got this keyboard the stock switch and keycaps sounded not so great (gateron mech blacks), but after 6 back breaking soul crushing hours i finally got all 61 switches lubed and back into the pcb with new pbt keycaps. i would also recommend modding the stabs on this board because the stock sound is super rattly. all in all though this is a great board and it shipped really fast, 10/10 would recommend.

    They keyboard itself is spectacular! Works great, looks good. However, I just got this keyboard yesterday afternoon and as I was using it today I noticed how dirty the keycaps were, and I can garuntee the marks are not from my use as ive only used it a couple hours since receiving the keyboard. Not sure if any other buyers have had this issue, its easily fixable with a good cleaning of the keycaps. Just letting future buyers be aware of this issue.

    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.

    My son found this and liked the look and the features, but the keys with stabilizers had more play than normal. The space bar was particularly wobbly, and a peek at the stabilizers under the key showed significant play in the attachment to the board. The case and keys are also of a plastic thickness and density that make this keyboard very loud. It is possible the addition of foam sheets or better key caps would improve the situation, but the space bar was an issue regardless. We may have received an outlier, but will be looking to see if there is a substitute version that still has a white case and optical Gateron Silver switches that may have better build quality. If not for the space bar, it could have been a very decent gaming keyboard.

    I recently ordered a GK61 for gaming. I will be reviewing it, The material is great as it feels sturdy and doesnt feel cheap and the switches are very nice sounding as well. (I got Gateron Optical Reds) The keycaps could be better but they are nice to the touch but I recommend switching them out for Double Shot PBT Keycaps (Razer Or HyperX) The keycap puller and switch pullers arent the best but they get the job done. The size is the about both of my hands. Overall good keyboard with the only negatives being that the wire is to the left side but would be much better being in the middle and the cheap Keycap Puller and Switch Puller. I will consider putting a 5 star if this holds out for a while.

    Would recommend it, the only bad part is that when I try to update the software it disconnects my keyboard for some reason. Also, the space bar is wobbly and doesnt really sound like the rest of the keyboard. I go the black tactile and I love it. I play cod but it lets me cancel slide pretty easily. The material of the keyboard is what you pay for. Before I bought this a lot of the comments said it stopped working after a while so ill be back in a couple of months with an updated review. But its definitely good for what you pay.

    An excellent mechanical keyboard with optical switches that is around $60.00 dollars. That sentence feels crazy to say, but its 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 Id 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. Its not in English, but it definitely still gets the job done. There are also Macros 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 dont know if this actually matters in the long run, but its 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 dont have a lot of texture to them so theyre 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 cant 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. Theyre not black nor are they white, just plain silver. I cant not see them. They stare at me between the key caps. Neutral 1. Theres a microphone in the keyboard for the Music back-lighting mode. I plan to mod this keyboard more, so Ill 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.

    Pretty decent 60% keyboard for the price. Works great with most custom key caps that you’d want to put on, but one thing I noticed while switching between keycaps is that the stock space bar is very clackity and annoying with my brown switches. My friend got the same kb so I know I didn’t get a bad one or anything but it’s not that big of a deal. The RGB with the white key caps look really nice and even better than my high end Corsair and Logitech keyboards, but damn did the software suck on this thing, on board lighting controls are 10x easier than the software. Overall it’s a decent board that looks nice with my model o- and I would definitely buy again.
