With mods it can become even better. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 25, 2019* An excellent 'mechanical' keyboard with optical switches that is around $60.00 dollars. That sentence feels crazy to say, but it's the gosh darn truth. This review is mainly for the Gateron Red Optical switch version of this keyboard.Pros1. 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 I'd 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. It's not in English, but it definitely still gets the job done. There are also Macro's 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 don't know if this actually matters in the long run, but it's good to know that it may be faster.Cons1. 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 don't have a lot of texture to them so they're 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 can't 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. They're not black nor are they white, just plain silver. I can't not see them. They stare at me between the key caps.Neutral1. There's a microphone in the keyboard for the Music back-lighting mode. I plan to mod this keyboard more, so I'll 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and super responsive *by on Reviewed in the United States May 1, 2021* I usually don’t leave reviews but HOLY this keyboard is soooo good I mean seriously it’s super responsive I have bought yellow and red optical switches and the yellow ones are super fast it’s the fastest keyboard I have tried and I’ve had a razer huntsman mini and an apex pro TKL but a warning the keys press on accident sometimes it’s like playing on a touchscreen so it’s super responsive but also super easy to press weather that’s good or bad idk depends from person to person but the red switches are absolutely perfect I mean seriously they are super responsive they don’t press on accident they sound so good and they are built to last. So in summary idk personally don’t know about black or blue switches but red and yellow switches are really good I’d give yellow switches 9.5/10 and the red ones 10/10 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best keyboard on a budget, but with a few warnings *by on Reviewed in the United States August 22, 2025* I got the optical red switches because I would mainly be using this keyboard for gaming. In that regard, it works flawlessly. People say the software is bad but it’s not that difficult to use, at least for me. Though, I have a couple issues that might be deal-breakers to other people.First, right out of the box, my X key came in with a slight but very noticeable dent (see the picture). This does not impact how I press that particular key, it just adds a bit of texture, but I ordered this new. I will not be returning it because I couldn’t care less about such a minor deformity. I’m just throwing this out there to let people know.Second, these switches are really loud. I had to buy some 80A o-rings and stack them to muffle the sound so they wouldn’t pick up on my microphone. It doesn’t impact the feel at all since these are one of the firmest o-rings you can get, but they do decrease the total travel, which I was fine with. I wouldn’t recommend this for use out in public or in a setting with several people unless you swap in silent switches. If you don’t want to spend an extra $30 getting those switches, I suggest that you look for a different keyboard.Overall, I recommend this just based on the fact this is $35, or a bit more depending on what you pick, despite having a wide array of Gateron switches right out of the box and its own software. ## Frequently Bought Together - HK Gaming GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 60 Percent | 61 RGB Rainbow LED Backlit Programmable Keys | USB Wired | for Mac and Windows PC | Hotswap Gateron Optical Red Switches | Red - SOLAKAKA SM600 White Wireless Gaming Mouse,8000 DPI Tri-Modes BT5.1/Type-C Wired/2.4G Wireless Mouse with 2 Side Buttons, Programmable Macro Gamer Mouse with RGB Light for Laptop/PC/Mac --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/260966226-gk61-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-60-percent-61-rgb-rainbow-led](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/260966226-gk61-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-60-percent-61-rgb-rainbow-led) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
