Punkston TH61 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard,RGB Backlit Wired Ultra-Compact Mini Mechanical Keyboard Full Keys Programmable Black (Hot-Swappable Optical Yellow, Black)

Ive only had this keyboard a few hours, but I will edit my review if anything bad happens. The only reason I bought this keyboard was for its PCB. My original keyboard (not from this company) had faulty firmware, I just wanted something I could put the Gateron optical switches from it into. It goes without saying that yes, this is indeed an *optical* keyboard and it is compatible with other *optical* switches. With that in mind I cant comment on this keyboards stock switches as Ive never used them and probably never will. The keyboard on its own works fine, I really didnt care about the optional software you can download for it, but I decided to try it anyway and I will say the software actually isnt bad and its all translated fine. The keycaps feel just ok, nothing special, the lighting is probably the biggest thing that can be criticized, it works fine with your basic red, green, blue, yellow, white, but its pretty mediocre with any sort of shaded color. For example, you cant really get orange from these lights, its just yellow, but Im not gonna knock this keyboard for its small shortcomings as its cheap and its working as I intended for it to.

This keyboard easisly compeats with the Glorious and Razer keyboards that top the market. It is only a forth of the price as the name brands but still has quality and performance equal to. The RGB lighting comes in many, many, many styles and are really fun. For my messy self I have to say that being waterproof is also a relief. HOT SWAPABLE KEYS! you can easily switch put the keys and the switches if you happen to want to change them or they became worn down. The 60% means that more functions are on each key but the user manual easily explains how to use them and the website has tons of helpful free information. Thank you Punkston!

I figured Id check this keyboard out since Ive slowly been getting into smaller and smaller keyboards. I had my reservations about the optical switches but figured it was worth the risk at this price point. Now that Ive had some time to check it out, Im more or less sold. I cant tell if their speed is much different from electric switches, but they are quiet and feel great. I ordered the keyboard with black switches, which ended up being linear; I cant comment on the weight, since I dont have any other linear switches on hand to compare it to. As for the rest of the features of this keyboard, Im pretty impressed. Besides the keyboard, the box contains a keycap puller and a switch puller. The removable cable is braided and quite high quality, with connectivity provided by a USB C port. I use Linux daily, so I wasnt able to test the driver software, but I was quite impressed by the number of lighting effects available out of the box. It looks like the customization options are quite numerous, though, which is important for a keyboard this small. The lack of a larger online presence for this company does seem a little concerning, but for the price, it can easily be overlooked.

This keyboard took me by surprise. Packaging was quite simple, a black box with branding and inside, the keyboard in a plastic wrap and a compartment for the pullers. Of course, I plugged it in immediately. I was really happy to see that the LED’s are very bright, maybe too bright, I still haven’t looked into whether or not I can turn the brightness down. I chose the black switches for my keyboard because I wanted something a little quieter than my other keyboard’s blue switches. I am pleased with how they sound, and they’re really nice to keep quiet while the wife is asleep. Switch actuation is tactile and very responsive. It takes more pressure than the blue switches on my other board, something that I like. This keyboard is great for gaming as well as typing things up/working for a bit. Another point, if you have big hands, DO NOT FEAR, the spacing is the same as a regular sized keyboard— I feel this is a common misconception with these 60% boards. Overall, if you have 40 bucks lying around and want an extra keyboard or just want to experience a 60% board, don’t hesitate to get this one. I’m more than happy with my purchase and I was surprised by the quality.

The build quality is solid for this price range. Functionality is more rudimentary as an entry-level 60% but there is little to complain about given its price point, and how much smaller it is compared to a full-sized. RGB lighting is absolutely beautiful even with the stock setting out of the box. The white color scheme may get dirty years down the line, but the RBG lighting simply pops with the white keys. You may want to opt for the black version if you want more muted lighting, but the white version is definitely perfect or my tastes. One thing to get used to is the placement of the arrow keys on a 60% keyboard. I chose the brown switches and they were as expected, good travel and not too loud compared to my previous old G710 with blue switches. The included key cap remover isnt anything fancy but it does the job. They are basic switches, not enthusiast-level by any means, but perfectly adequate. What you dont get are flip-out feet, which is found on some pricier models, so the incline is not adjustable. The keyboard is also wired-only, there is no bluetooth connectivity. Software is basic yet it serves its purpose, and its in English, so theres no need for any guessing when it comes to navigating the software.

This mechanical keyboard is such a steal! I would definitely get it if I’m trying to get a budget gaming keyboard.here are the switch guides: red:silent and best for gamers blue: very loud and clicky would recommend for typers black:heavy and silent another solid choice for gaming and yellow: I don’t know much about yellow so you have to search it up,def a steal!

I usually work from home but I have a new team member that requires me to be in the office a couple days a week. The keyboards at the office are awkward (they suck... not it a good way) for me and the low profile keys slow me down. Its very irritating. This is a great option for commuters. Mechanical, fits in the backpack, has a detachable usb cable. Love the lights. I also bought a sleeve for it that has a pocket in the front, which is great for storing the cable and it keeps the travel muck off it. I found the PDF for multi-function keys handy.

I ordered optical red switches... and I got brown ones but to be honest, brown ones felt pretty nice so Idrc and will be keeping them. Build quality is great, they give you a testing kit which is rlly nice and i tried the blue one out and it sounded like the avg mechanical keyboard with the clicking sound but I wanted something quiet and fast so I got the red ones (which turned out to be brown).

I ordered the red key one at the suggestion that it was the quietest as this is my first mechanical keyboard and I gotta say it is very quiet! Ive heard mechanical keyboards before that click clackd super loud and this definitely does not do that. Ive found Im not at a loss for the 10 key pad I dont use it nearly as much as I thought I did so when Im using it for just chatting or gaming it is perfect and compact. I love the lights on the keyboard as well they are gorgeous and not nearly as blinding as they can be on some lit keyboards. Ive found Im quite satisfied with that feature as well. There was another review that spoke of the keys wiggling in their spaces - mine definitely do not do that! They are tightly secured in place. When Im gaming Ive noticed no lag in response time between the board and Ive not had any issues with keys not responding. Overall Im very satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to buy a 60% mechanical keyboard.

La verdad compre el teclado sin esperar mucho pero realmente me sorprendio la calidad del mismo. Los unicos motivos por los cuales no le doy 5 estrellas es porque: 1- El Software no lo pude descargar desde la pagina (me puse en contacto con el fabricante y hasta ahora no hubo respuesta), y 2- En las imagenes de la publicacion los teclados se ven con cables tenzados, y los 2 que compre vinieron con cables de plastico comunes. Pero funcionan excelete y esta genial el detalle de la muestra que viene de los switches, que muchas de las marcas de renombre no las traen.
