GK61 Review! Is It REALLY as GOOD as everyone says? (HK Gaming/Epomaker/Matrix Clix)

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...

Fanstastic keyboard - but make sure you pick the correct switches

Speaking of switches; I think it is important to select the right switch for a person's intended use. The keyboards I have previously owned have had Gateron brown switches which are your "middle of the line" type of switch that attempts to please the wider variety but I've grown quite tired of them. I say: if you want tactile and click, go blue. Otherwise go black

Build Quality

My HK-Gaming Naos-M with some mods. Picture album + First impression

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

NO CASE SWAP.... a quality keyboard nonetheless.

Awesome quality! This keyboard was built nice! The plastic case feels substantial and the keycaps are made with quality plastic as well. I've tried many prebuilt mechanical keyboards now, and the quality of this one is one the best if not the best. I got the one with one with Gateron Red switches. It's buttery smooth, and sounds pretty nice

Software

Great keyboard, Software is an absolute joke/disaster

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

First impressions....I'm impressed.

6. Software works pretty well and has a lot of features to explore. It could definitely use some work still though. 7

Price Point

Alright value but you get what you pay for

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

FANTASTIC budget keyboard, but not perfect

This list of issues is very acceptable given the price tag. This is especially true given that this is one of the few keyboards on the market with all the features mentioned above. For the money, you probably won't find a deal better than this.
