    NOTE: I add the software download link I used, to the description
    To anyone asking if this is compatible with PS4/Xbox the simple answer is, it’s a usb keyboard. It won’t be any more or less compatible than any USB keyboard would be with these systems.
    If what you mean to ask is more along the lines of “will this trick my PS4/Xbox into thinking I’m using a controller so I can play games with a keyboard that I normally can’t” then the answer is gonna be no.
    Hopin that helps!

    I found this video because I've been specifically looking into the GK61 and what a coincidence it was just uploaded two days ago! I like hearing reviews from people who are not way advanced in the keyboard enthusiast scene because I am a beginner. I'm seriously considering buying this board and modding the switches with springs that better suit my heavy-handed typing style (maybe 80g or so). My Cherry MX Browns seem too light at times, and I'm not all that impressed with Cherry switches anyway. I'll be keeping my eye on this video to check out the affiliate link when the discount is active on the 16th!

    i sprung for the GK61 metal version and my goodness. This thing is heavier than a ducky mecha mini and year of the dragon TKL put together. I put in some Kailh box jades with some puddin keycaps. Pretty juicy right now. No pinging from the board, and the RGBs decent, cant figure out how to change the single color variation to another single color..but I'm clicking away like a mad man and these feel sooo much better than any cherry switch i currently own, albeit a tad heavier than I'd prefer.

    btw this GK61 (or dyeria I guess its the same) and Blitzwolf kb1, you noticed any difference ? I mean, the optical x commom mechanic makes difference in typing, gaming or in SOUND? (I really hate keyboard sound, so being more silent or at least more "bassy" would make difference for me)
    Really in doubt if I go with this one because of the optical tech and being hot swappable or go for the Blitzwolf. And I'm buying today or tomorrow max, so an opinion would help a lot!

    I am using gk61 and HyperX Alloy Origin TKL.. there's a bit of better experience for me on using gk61 in gaming the response, my reflexes, and adapting the timing to press those keys are way more better thank HyperX Alloy Origin TKL but the designs and toughness of HyperX was so reliable. Also the polling rate of gk61(optical) was only 150hz. But in the end I strongly recommend the gk61 base on my test and experience.. Maybe if someone would try this keyboard they will notice the differences.
