HK Gaming GK61 vs Razer Blackwidow Elite

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...

But the construction here is identical to the previous Black Widow X Chroma keyboard that was released over two years ago in 2016. so a more rugged ma...

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 keycaps haven't lasted as long as I would like, WASD wore off at about 3 months of solid gaming. At 6 months they aren't readable. Another thing to note is that none of the secondary symbols on the number and the function keys don't light up like on previous keyboards, which is annoying in a dark room if I ever want to read them. I probably wouldn't buy this again, since some of the key things it advertised weren't there for me, but its an decent keyboard besides

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

While the Huntsman will only offer their optical switches, the Black Widow will continue to offer their three conventional mechanical switches, except...

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

The Razer BlackWidow Elite is an outstanding gaming keyboard. This wired-only model feels very well-built and sturdy, and it has good ergonomics, thanks to the two incline settings and detachable wrist rest. The full RGB backlighting is amazing for dark room gaming, and it’s easily customizable within the Razer Synapse 3 software. You can also set macros to any key and create multiple profiles to keep your favorite settings

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

Especially when I was in the middle of a game… sometimes when I toggle the volume to go up or down just a little bit, it turns it all the way up or mutes it. Very strange that it kept doing that despite having no issues otherwise, so I had to send it back :(

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

There is no way to save that lighting profile to the keyboard permanently to the bios. That is a major problem for me. Every keyboard I've owned in the past always allowed me to save the lighting profile to the bios so when I turn on my computer I don't have a lazer light show on my desk. I don't know, maybe I'm just old and kicking the rgb thing

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

My overall thought is that this keyboard is overpriced by probably $30, especially with such poor quality key caps.

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.

I also haven't had any issues with the Synapse 3 software at the time of writing this. It is a bit bloated though, using about 70 mb of RAM (out of 16Gb), with several modules installed. I don't think the privacy concerns other reviews talk about are really warranted, I didn't notice much data being sent out or received by Synapse when idle, and you don't need to be always online with it, it has to connect the first time but it isn't required after that. There are two issues that I've noticed though
