Geeky GK61 60% | Hot Swappable Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | 61 Keys Multi Color RGB LED Backlit for PC/Mac Gamer | ANSI US American Layout (White, Mechanical Red)

For someone like myself obsessed with low latency keyboards finding a budget one on Amazon is a difficult problem to solve. I personally don't care about RGB, and I want it a small form factor in order to give maximum flexibility when gaming (but not decreasing the key spacing like a few of the budget boards). Many of the budget keyboards on Amazon don't mention anything on latency and virtually never state what their polling rate is either. In my past experience of using an optical switch Dierya DK61E, despite it being advertised as 1000hz I experienced a noticeable amount of input lag which made strafing and competitive playing more difficult.Luckily I found this one which is hotswappable and offers good quality mechanical switches. In terms of input lag I found this one to completely solve the latency issues I had with my Dierya keyboard (you might want to update the Geeky keyboard's firmware though) and strafing was faster and more accurate than before - I believe that the input lag must be very low and I hope that they continue to prioritise this in their future firmwares and products.I tried the Speed Silver and Speed Yellow linear switches and they're both great for gaming. The physical resistance of the switch increases as you press down, unlike some (or maybe all?) optical linear switches (gateron speed yellow for example) which seem to immediately bottom out as soon as you pass a certain key-depress travel with the force suddenly disappearing. For me the behaviour I experienced on the optical Gateron Speed Yellow switch means that you lose some of the feedback you require for accurate strafing in movement-based games like CS GO. Therefore the Geeky switches are pretty great in my opinion. In terms of the two switches' smoothnesses, they're moderately smooth but not the smoothest I've tried either which does make them feel a little bit heavier than the actuation force advertised.The keyboard felt solid and the keycaps weren't overly slippery. The keys felt fairly stable as well and didn't wobble.Anyway, to conclude, it's definitely a great product at the budget price point and I hope to see Geeky branch out into hall effect switches.

Quality: This keyboard is made entirely out of cheap feeling, but certainly serviceable plastic. The lighting on the keyboard is comparable to higher end gaming keyboards with all the same lighting effects, and I was surprised by the brightness. In the box: a switch puller (somewhat usable), a keycap puller and 2 replacement switches. The switches: I bought this keyboard thinking the switches would be gateron switches but in reality they are Huano switches which, when googled, are apparently a decent brand of budget-friendly mechanical switches. They are fine for the price but people who are accustomed to cherry or gateron switches might feel that they are lower quality. The switches are supposedly factory lubed but in reality they feel a bit scratchy at times, but I am not complaining for the price of this board. The keyboard lighting can be controlled by a program downloaded from the website. The software is simple but definitely more than enough as it allows you to bind macros and rebind keys to your liking. Overall I give this keyboard a 4/5 with the only complaint being with respect to the price is that the switches are not gateron, but in saying this you do get an MX style hotswap keyboard ( instead of otemu where the pins are larger).

The stabilizers come slightly pre-lubed, although I would recommend lubing them yourself. The RGB has many different modes, and is quite bright. Keyboard is wired (detachable USB-C wire), not wireless or bluetooth, but as expected at this price point.The brown switches which I selected to come with the keyboard (even though I swapped them anyway for some "AKKO V3 Cream Blue Pros") have the brand name "Huano" written on them, which I personally havn't heard of before. Although, the keyboard is hot-swappable with "Cherry MX" style switches, opposed to "Outemu" style switches.Also, comes with plastic keycap puller, and metal switch puller, which were easy enough to use. Another thing to mention is that it has no kick-stands, therefore stays at one level, which is comfortable enough to type at.

Very good quality ,Recommend

This is a shockingly well specified keyboard for the price. The only thing that I'd want from this keyboard is better switches.I actually think that they've done a poor job in marketing this keyboard. There are a couple of things available with this board that you'd not expect at this price.- Proper hotswap sockets. Most cheap mechanical keyboards come with equally cheap outemu hotswap sockets that are unreliable and won't fit the majority of switches(cherry type). This keyboard comes with kailh style sockets which supports all.- 5-pin support! Not only does it give you proper hotswap support but it comes with 5 pin sockets. Something you never see at this price.- Programmable keys. When budget keyboards say 'programmable' they really just mean the ability to choose different lighting patterns or at a stretch you can program the lighting. This board actually allows you to program the output of each key, meaning you can change your key layout to suit your needs.- Detachable USB, this is a minor thing but again at this pricing you would usually get a fixed cableThe only thing I'd deduct points for is the quality of the switches, they are absolutely atrocious, but you can swap them out. I've put KTT sea-salt lemons on mine and the keyboard sounds divine.

very good. it works and the hot swap is working. I put difference switches in and it worked!!!!!

I use for everyday typing and gaming and is very nice and comfortable to use
