Epomaker SK64 vs HK Gaming GK61

sk64 is awesome. have fun learning the software for the backlighting. took me about 2hrs to figure out how to make custom color profiles. fun little kb, though

You are going to be at the mercy of some poor team of programmers who were given a day to create it.

At that point, the preset I had last enabled would come on. I only wanted to mess around with the software since the original keyboard lighting was what I desired, and yet it turned out to be a pain in the ass with multiple PC reboots to get back to original settings. And, be warned that uninstalling the software does not reset the keyboard. I've uninstalled the software after setting the lights back to original, and I wish I had never installed it in the first place because it certainly does not inspire confidence from a security standpoint

When I found this keyboard, I was surprised that it was this cheap for a 60% with Gateron switches. Upon receiving the keyboard, I immediately tried to customize the lighting on the keyboard, and just like how the reviews I watched on YouTube said - the keyboard's software wasn't good. I couldn't put custom hex codes, even though there were places in the software to do so. In the end, I stuck with just a plain white backlight

I chose SK64 for overall build quality. Looks sturdier than the Anne Pro 2 and the keycaps have a nice finish on them.

The skates are thicker than the Mira and have a smoother glide. The overall build quality feels great, no creaking or flexing or anything funky like that. The weight comes in at 59g with no holes in the side which is pretty impressive for a mouse this size. The main clicks are 20m omron and feel great, there is a tiny amount of post travel but nothing that I would ever notice while gaming or normal use as you have to press down rather hard and hold to actually notice it

As someone who's new to the whole community, I find this keyboard super cute and nice to the touch! I got the brown switches and I love the sound of them, although I didn't expect they'd be linear. The only downside I'd give is that I don't know how to navigate through their driver to customize the RGB function of the keyboard, so it'd be nice to have a more in-depth guide in English on how to use their software. Overall? 5/5 for gaming and quality since it responds immediately, but 4/5 for brightness of the actual keyboard (yes, you can adjust the brightness but mine was still pretty dim). There are definitely cheaper options but the quality really sells it for me

I didn't do anything to the clicks keyboard. This white one. All i did was spray lube, the gatorade silver optical switches and then the black one. He...

Pros{ Comfortable. I don't need a wrist wrest with this. The key caps feel good. It has RGB

So again, I don't know. Is it this new technology? That's coming out, we'll have to see how it plays out, but it's pretty cool right now, alright, so ...

The keyboard: - Comes in a nice finished box (Not a plain brown cardboard one) - Has a nice finish that doesn't look cheap - Has a good touch; light and "clacky" giving a substantial feel to it (I chose the "Gateron Brown switch" version) - Has individually-programmable color keys via software - Is HEAVY; while small.. it is weighty enough that it doesn't slide/bounce easily while using Note: - The keycaps are not see-through so the letters don't light up if you are used to that - There is an included keycap puller and switch puller for customization/eventual repair - There IS software out there for it but it is not easy to find (Can't show a link, sorry I tried to help) - I found "GK6XPlus" driver works with this keyboard for customizing lighting and assigning/building MACROs

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.

Very nice keyboard for the price if you are on a budget I do enjoy the brown switches feel nice to type and game on only problem for me is the software is garbage and the board doesn't have any flip out feet which is the biggest downside to me the board has a slant to mimic the flip out feet but personally I would have liked the feet

The key caps feel really cheap because they are cheap. The stabilizers are loose and my space bar didn't even work. It's cool how you can swap switches and key caps but I'd spend a little more money and get a quality keyboard over a cheap keyboard that has a lot of gimmicks. I'd recommend spending your money on Kemove which has better quality parts and you can swap switches

Had to upgrade from a z-88 which broke in a month. So far I love the aesthetics of the keyboard. I did not realize the right shift key and backspace are awkward but not a huge deal. It’s very responsive and definitely feels levels better than my previous z-88

This keyboard definitely meets that need, while being aesthetically stylish and feeling very responsive. The board its self is a nice 61-key compact keyboard. This means no F1-F12 keys, no arrow keys, no Home/Insert/Delete/Print Screen keys, and no ten key. The footprint it leaves on your desk is as small as it possibly can be without sacrificing basic needs in a keyboard and it's very pleasing because of it
