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 Brown)

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.

The perfect keyboard that should be the last one really being hot-swappable and the perfect size with a 60% personally having everything I need (I got an external numpad) but so far with the blue switches which I went with because I prefer it for typing this keyboard has been nothing less than pure perfection I highly recommend

This keyboard is very high quality, the material it’s made out of is very strong, the keys are extremely satisfying to click and the RGB Settings could have a bit more customisation but fantastic keyboard overall

My son was after one of these keyboards for his gaming pc and he loves it. Not my cup of tea but I'm ancient. One thing that we note is when pc is off, the keyboard still has power as it continuously flashes. Might be a pc setting - must look at that. So we switch off at mains now. Not a show stopper but the plug is behind the pc desk so its a bit fiddly.

Excellent

I have finally found out what a 60% keyboard is - it's about the size! Sorry if everyone knew that already. This keyboard feels very solid. The keys have a satisfying and reassuring degree of travel, and make a nice click clack sound. It feels pretty good. There are a number of lighting options, should that be your thing. And the customarily useless instructions that you always get with these no brand electronics.The main downside is the size of the keyboard. The keys are full size, but I didn't realise how useful the arrow keys are on a keyboard. If I need to go back and edit a word, I don't use the mouse but the arrow keys. Didn't realise this until I tried this keyboard. There are arrow keys, but you need to press FN at the same time, and it's just a bit more faffy. But that's the downside to smaller keyboards. Less space, and this is a pretty decent one.I'd have liked legs to adjust the tilt though, one mark off for that.

I've had this keyboard for around 4 months now.. Its PERFECT in every way with the yellow switches and I recommend anyone with around £60 to buy this keyboard 🔥

Delivered on time, got exactly what I paid for and it's even more "purdy" than the pics they use to promote it irl 😍 Why not 5stars?
