Thank you for this review. I just bought one and I noticed that each side corners are no longer shiny. They are matte finish which is more acceptable than glossy ones.
Yea same I just wish I had gotten the red switches instead of the blue, also I will be getting the sk61 with reds for my next keyboard because it’s basically a better gk61
I see that it has already been noted that this is a solid review, but allow me to reinforce that, I have this keyboard, it is as you say. Thank you most kindly for spending the time for create quality work.
I hear that the software alone is a deal breaker. Is that true or does it function pretty well or I guess good enough? I want this because theyre optical and the Celeritas II I tried at the store feels nice as optical switches but I also want wireless so I may go for Anne Pro 2.
The software works properly as long as you give time to learn it, it's not a deal breaker for me personally because most of the time I really don't need it. Depending on your workflow, you may need it to setup some shortcuts and customize layers but unless you use macros, you won't really need the software. Even on my Anne Pro 2, after I setup the layers the way I wanted it to be, I rarely open the software. With that said, if you have the budget, you can not go wrong with the Anne Pro 2. But if you specifically want to try the optical, hot-swappable switch I think the Geek GK61 is one of the best bang for the buck out there for just 2.6k.
@@TechBroll Thanks for the response! I don't plan on changing switches really once i get a new board but I was just asking because the Celeritas board with Optical switches just felt good and when I good it the gk61 is really the only board to show up that's optical. And speaking of the software on the AP2 does it have to be opened for you to acutally use the layer keys you created? I would be making a lot of custom layer functions based on the home/end pgup and pgdown thats missing on the 60% layout. I'll be ordered the Anne Pro 2 most likely. I live in California, do you recommend I order from any company specifically? I'm assuming youre from United States or Philippines maybe? :D
@@johntitor1054 Yes you can lube optical switches. As long as the telios v2 is an optical switch then you can use it on any optical board just not standard since the standard boards need you to solder the switches in.
if you're gonna talk about this keyboard, you might as well bring up the fact that you can literally mod this to make it look like a completely different keyboard. you can buy aluminum and wooden cases for this, aside from the fact that you can change the keycaps for it.
yeah, but with 10% off code and discount from using mobile app you end up with aluminium case costing as much as the keyboard itself, good thing parents of my friend own CNC milling company so im going to get one bad boy just like this only for the cost of aluminium block used www.aliexpress.com/item/Customized-5-angle-Anodized-Aluminium-case-for-60-keyboard-gh60-case-shell-fit-gh60-poker-dz60/32894244499.html?
NOTE: I bought this keyboard recently, and the following things have changed since this review: 1. The sides of the keycaps and the case are no longer glossy 2. The keyboard now comes wrapped in a foam sleeve instead of the plastic bag 3. The cable is no longer braided and no longer includes the velcro retainer 4. The microphone has either been removed or moved to somewhere else on the keyboard 5. The software has been updated and is a lot more intuitive than the software shown here 6. The box has been redesigned 7. The keycap puller is now blue
I bought this keyboard not long ago, it’s extremely fair for the price. All that could improve is key stabilization (it rattles quite a bunch), and the software, the software just seems a little sketchy tbh.
@@Anas212_ blue is the loudest tactile keys, brown is also tactile but quiter, whereas red are quiet and linear switches. So you should be buying blue if you want the tactile feedback and loudest key sound
need help my gk61 {4 keys F10, P, ARROW KEYS} these keys are showing red light from yesterday I thought restarting pc will fix but it didn't I even tried turning off all the lights in the keyboard still it's glowing in the four keys please help
that would depend on your personal preference on will mostly depend on the switch you choose, brown or blue is ideal for typing because of the feedback. in terms of layout, GK64 is better because it has dedicated arrow keys, but harder to find custom keycaps

The instructions they gave me to change speed of led doesn’t work, or I don’t know how, can you give me a simple worded way of how to change led speed (Sorry I’m new to this stuff
I'm not 100% sure about it, I'm actually still searching for that info as well if we can insert other switches such as kaihl, cherry mx and others. i might try to pop a cherry mx switch on the gk64, i don't have however other switch in hand
@@TechBroll I researched it and apparently it supports kailh,gateron and cherry mx switches. As long as the housing of the switch is either pcb mount (5 pins) or plate mount (3 pins) it should work.

TechBroll That was a cool edit
I got this keyboard recently. Its very good. I recommend this to everyone. I'm planning on modding it to make it sound and feel better.
it's better mechanical or optical?
Which do u think is better for gaming and faster optical brown or red
GK61 and CK61
Which one would you choose?
And why ?
Thank you ❤
Definitely GK61, CK61 has terrible layer implementation
ck 61 with high price
Great keyboard. bought this and the redragon diti to customize springs and switches. was super fun. great video!
Thank you!
Nice video! I like your editing style very much.
Can you please tell if it is possible to change the main layer in the software too?

Which GK61 would you recommend the optical switch version or the standard switch?
For now I'll go for the standard switch version as it is easy to find replacement switch than optical
@@TechBroll can you lube optical switches?, also can i put telios v2 switches in the optical version too or just standard?
@@johntitor1054 Yes you can lube optical switches. As long as the telios v2 is an optical switch then you can use it on any optical board just not standard since the standard boards need you to solder the switches in.

Thank you for this very in depth review! Keep it up!
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Gateron Optical Red Switches are better than the Cherry MX red switches ??
Considering to buy this for my first mechkey. Thanks for your great review
Wht better mechanical switches or opticals switches for gaming on the gk61
My goodness your probably one of the best review video straight to the point and amazing editing yup that’s a sub
watched your review,bought the keyboard, thanks man. keep up the good work.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
thoughts in it now?
Are gateron optical switches swappable on optical switches of another firms, or swappable only on another gateron optical switches?
Can you put in non optical switches / remove those bars in the side for the light beam?
Did you know if I can change the Outemu Blue Optical from Redragon Vata K580 for Gateron Yellow Optical?
NOTE: I bought this keyboard recently, and the following things have changed since this review:
1. The sides of the keycaps and the case are no longer glossy
2. The keyboard now comes wrapped in a foam sleeve instead of the plastic bag
3. The cable is no longer braided and no longer includes the velcro retainer
4. The microphone has either been removed or moved to somewhere else on the keyboard
5. The software has been updated and is a lot more intuitive than the software shown here
6. The box has been redesigned
7. The keycap puller is now blue
how long until the keycaps were not glossy? i bought the white version btw
I'm planning to buy but it's really hard to decide what do you suggest geek gk61 or royal kludge rk71?
Do you know if i can put alpacas in a gk61 gateron optical blue? i dont know if it is compotabile and is trying to figure out
Where do you buy new optical switches, I'm looking to change mine but I can not find any optical switches anywhere.
Where can we buy a matte black with gateron yellow optical switches in ph? but not online
I bought this keyboard not long ago, it’s extremely fair for the price. All that could improve is key stabilization (it rattles quite a bunch), and the software, the software just seems a little sketchy tbh.
the softare is absolute trash. i tried updating the firmware on my board, and my pc crashed.
which is better? gk61 or rk68?
Keep up the good work sir!
Thanks sir Law for dropping by!
nice review i was wanting this keyboard i can wait to get one now thanks!
Where can I buy gateron optical switches? From the Philippines btw.
Great Video. Is it possible to use other types of switches with this board? Cherry MX, Kailh, and other Gateron types of switches.
Probably too late but yes, it is hot swappable but if you like the stock switches then don't swap them
Do your arrow key work on yours by pressing Fn and the four little arrow? Because mines does not work
Yes, it should work that way
@@TechBroll DId you try it? Because my friend and I have one and both doesn't work
Oh my god i just found that they doesn't work if you're in offline mode
Does it work on Xbox
Would you buy the gk61 or rk61

TechBroll, is the red switches the best for gaming?
there is no best switch for gaming, it’s personal preference. you could buy a switch tester to see which one feels the best for you
Was looking to build a Gk61x and this video helped out a lot. Thx!
Can i use the keyboard mic
no lmao idiot
X. Phyro yes u can dumbass
Which one would you recommend gk61 or gk64 for typing purposes, is the gk61 more tactile/silent then the gk 64?
that would depend on your personal preference on will mostly depend on the switch you choose, brown or blue is ideal for typing because of the feedback. in terms of layout, GK64 is better because it has dedicated arrow keys, but harder to find custom keycaps
Can i swap thr switches with silver switches
