I recently got the GK61 from amazon and it's pretty solid as well. I would say the stabs on my GK61 are a little bit worse sounding. all the stabilizers are pretty good and lubed a lot. I got the GMMK Compact when it first came out. There's some pretty cheap sub $25-30 keysets from vendors like YMDK, NPKC, and Bossi on Amazon. Switches are kind of a personal adventure I think, as they are very preference & taste based. Good tactiles are more expensive ($50-70+ for ~70), but if you don't care about really nice, very tactile switches like Zealios, T1, Aliaz, or Holy Pandas then You'll probably find Gateron Browns or Kailh Box Browns just fine. If you like linear switches, Gateron Yellows are pretty cheap on Amazon.
Gk61 pcb how to#
There's some Youtube tutorials on how to disassemble plate mounted stabs and put them back in. GK61's are Plate Mount, and the GMMK's appear to be as well, so you could just get some genuine Cherry Plate Mount stabs from Novelkeys or wherever else they might be cheaper.

Gk61 pcb upgrade#
Their stabilizers are pretty meh on both, so you may want to upgrade those in the future either way.

But I will say they are a nice option to have, especially for 60% boards without the F# keys, tilde and whatnot. I decided to get the GK61 over the GMMK because I hate the floating switch design with the silver bezel, and I don't really need macros that much. I don't even have the GMMK & it's software, but I can tell you right now it's almost definitely better than the GK61's software, as it is notoriously awful (at least for english speakers, half of it's in Chinese whether or not you pick English at setup). Build quality is pretty similar I imagine. Mac system: GK61 or GMMK Compact come with the case, plate, stabs, and PCB already put together. Windows: /file/d/1oCvUmodD5n5TpfFfcPPB0IMwD2BCdzVh/view?usp=sharing PCB is programmable with the software below (Can download on official website) There is no switches in the kit,you can order Cherry Gateron Kailh SMD Box switches etc yourself.Just put in switches in is ok,no need soldering again. Bluetooth stand by time is around 10 days,if you use it without led,it can last around 6-8 days,if you use it with leds,it last around 2-4 days.The battery will charge in auto when you insert USB to PC or charger when the capacity is under 90%. PCB has Switch RGB presoldered,it's under per switch.PCB RGB can support by music.īluetooth option is bluetooth 5.0,uses broadcom bluetooth chip and program which is more stable even than some 4.0 in the market.You can switch wired and bluetooth mode with Fn+Spc,enter into pairing mode by Fn+ZXC,can connect 3 device at most.īluetooth option RAlt ZXC Space key led is related to bluetooth mode,such as when battery volume is low,Ralt led will change color.So if these led color is different from other leds,it's not broken.

The chipset is MCU 32 bit,8M Flash,3 pcs 256*256*256 RGB drive to support full 16.8 million RGB.
Gk61 pcb install#
To install GK61x PCB,pls use brass bolt and M2-6 screws.Acylic case is CNC frosted,Aluminum case is CNC anodized. PC material is much harder than acrylic and the shine through effects is very good as well Pls note: This pcb is fully programmable,however Fn sits at the right of bottom row and place can't change.
