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

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.

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.

This keyboard is highly recommended, its a great keyboard in terms of responsiveness and Build quality, while also being hot swappable. One thing I disliked about this keyboard however is the malfunctioning of led on the home row and a failed led on the d key.

Bought for my step son for his birthday and he loves it

This keyboard is AMAZING for the money. Good quality Gateron switches of your choice, good solid heavy plastic, cool RGB lighting with preset modes, quality USB-C cable. The software for the RGB is hard to use and figure out, but the keyboard does have plenty of preset lighting modes, so it doesnt really matter all that much. This keyboard is also hot-swappable, so in future you can switch out the key caps, the key switches, and the stabilizers. ALSO, the stabilizers come pre-lubed, which I really only see in higher end brands and keyboards. The keyboard also comes with key cap and switch remover tools which is another bonus. The only thing I can complain about is the key caps are not the best caps, so some of the larger keys (space bar) have a slight stabilization problem. But it is not that distracting and can easily fixed with some custom keycaps (which arent that expensive). Overall, Im really impressed with this!

I wanted to get into the world of keyboard modding and wanted to start out with something cheap and simple. I opted for mechanical Gateron Yellow switches because a lot the modding community praise those switches. Initial thoughts were that these switches were the right move. It is linear with a good amount of force needed, good for typing and gaming. I am coming from Corsair K95 with Cherry MX speed switches and these Gaterons feel a bit nicer for typing. The mods I incorporated includes: Car sound dampening foam (dynamat), PE foam between PCB and casing, PE foam between plate and PCB, HOLEE mod, and G205 G0 lubed switches. All of this combined, equates to a superb typing experience. The space bar is smooth and thocky. The default key caps leaves a tingy feedback sound and doesn’t thock as I had intended, so I’m looking to upgrade to double-shot PBT switches in the near future. The weight of the keyboard barebones out of the box is slightly on the heavy side already. This is probably due to the steel metal plate is uses. A surprise to me for how cheap this keyboard is. It is slightly heavier now, which is what I want, in order to achieve a more thocky sound. The additional weight comes from the car sound dampening foam. If you’re on the fence about grabbing a 60% keyboard for cheap and want to mod it, this is a good move for beginners not wanting to break the bank.

The item was exactly as listed and arrived quickly, thanks to the seller for a quick and easy delivery.

I received a US variant, and because of that I cant use the software to program my own layers. This is not a massive deal breaker, but its annoying because Im unable to use some hot key combinations because the arrows keys are on a Fn layer but the CTRL/WIN/ALT keys are not. There supposedly used to be software available on the companys website, but the companys website no longer exists. Theres one in Chinese, but the software doesnt recognize the US products. If you plan to buy this as an intro keyboard, its great. You can replace the plate, PCB, switches, case, etc. Id probably recommend replacing the PCB first if you want to go step by step simply because the included PCB isnt programmable. Overall, youre better off just getting a DIY kit and just doing your assembly up front, but if youre short on cash and just want to get a 60% keyboard that you can slowly upgrade, then by all means get this. If you want a portable keyboard, by all means get this. But if you want a programmable keyboard to fully replace a larger keyboard, this might not be your best shot.

Keyboard is by itself is perfect, but the software used to update it is awful. I have no issues with keyboard itself, mines came in perfectly intact with every button working and clicking very nicely from the red gateron switches. The color profiles had plenty of options and I settled for pink lighting to accompany the pink theme my keyboard had. Then it came to updating the software... my keyboard shut off and became unresponsive with every attempt I tried. So in turn i stopped using it. I used the latest the version from their U.S website, to note. Every other experience with this keyboard has been great however, and while I wish I could get more use out of its software, the end result is still the same. Very good keyboard for its price, just skip the software entirely in my opinion.

Id say, for 65 dollars, this is the best keyboard out there. Its a mechanical keyboard and has pretty clicky keys. I think the only downside to the keyboard is that the spacebar is a little bit wobbly when pressed down, but thats not too much of a concern. The white color is very nice and the RGB isnt too intrusive. I also should mention that this is my first mechanical keyboard, so I didnt know what to expect, but dang was I impressed. If your looking for a keyboard that is relatively cheap and good for gaming, go for this kb. I also have to mention that I didnt download the software, because the configuration on the keyboard itself was enough for me.
