Compact 60% Layout for Gamers

The HK GAMING GK61 is a 60% gaming keyboard with 61 keys in a white ABS chassis. It uses Gateron Optical Red linear switches that are hot-swappable and rated for 100 million keystrokes. The board connects via a detachable USB-C cable and works with Windows and Mac without extra drivers.

Hot-Swappable Switch Installation

Switches can be pulled and replaced with the included keycap and switch puller; no soldering is required. The optical design means each swap is a simple press-fit action. The main risk is bending a switch pin if the puller is applied at an angle, so pull straight up. The detachable cable also reduces strain on the port during transport.

61-Key Capacity and Headroom

The 61-key layout covers standard alphanumerics, modifiers and arrow clusters through layered functions. It handles FPS, MOBA and MMO macros with full n-key rollover and a 1 kHz polling rate. Users who need a dedicated number pad, function row or separate navigation cluster will find the compact form factor limiting.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 1 kHz polling rate is active after plugging in the GK61?

The keyboard runs at 1 kHz polling automatically; no driver installation is required, so the rate is active as soon as the USB cable is connected.

What accessories are included with the white GK61 and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the 61-key keyboard, a detachable USB-C cable and a keycap puller; no palm rest, extra switches or keycaps are supplied.

Which switch variant should I choose for the GK61 if I want hot-swappable linear switches rated for 100 million keystrokes?

Select the Gateron Optical Red version — it is linear, hot-swappable and rated for 100 million keystrokes.
