Thank you for watching! This is basically a review of the gateron optical yellow switches very the very similar silver switches. The keyboard I tested it on is the Gk61 from Hk Gaming. The optical yellows and the GK61 are known to be the fastest keyboard in the world, but I find I prefer the silver switches over the yellows. Plus, the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL is still the fastest keyboard in the world with its omnipoint switches. This video includes gameplay footage, sounds test, and in-depth comparisons. These were not sent to me for review. The sponsor of today’s video is from TubeBuddy (affiliate).

Does Rielly reply??
plug your youtube channel in your own youtube video's comments section instead
@@aidz5337 what's good ?
Keep up the good content & the streams!!
@@RiellyMilne gameplay is actually good lol ur one of those people that i can trust with performance
me who's watching with my brand new custom mech keyboard with gateron yellow:
There's a difference between the optical and mechanical yellow switches, just so you know. The mechanical gateron yellows are generally regarded as one of the best linear switches at the price point.
@Jacob Hennon I do not use a GK61, my bad I misread the title and I did not see that it spoke of "optical" yellow gateron.
@Jacob Hennon i call mines custom because i changed the pcb and stablizers
Jacob Hennon imo if it’s the barebones version it’s still a custom, just entry level.
That’s like saying the hotswap dz60 isn’t custom
So is silver better?
The camera work, the quality, the editing is off the charts man. Keep up the good work and you will grow in no time.
Bro, the editing and production in this vid are amazing!
Thank you so much I was about to buy the gk61 silver switches for 80 dollars but instead bought the dk61E you saved me some money, I'm 100% subbing
Nothing can beat the spring weighting on Gateron Yellows. It's just perfect!
The production quality and editing is nuts, you should have a lot more subscribers bro. Came here for a quick glance but stuck around for the whole video because of how well it was made.
you're right.
Dang the production quality is insane
This may be the most underrated and best pro looking video and TH-camr I’ve ever seen
And what are the bottom-out force (the force required to press to the bottom) of these two switches? Also, the lack of online official specs causes a lot of confusion. According to a few websites that sell these switches, the total travel distance is 4mm. From what source did you get the 3.2mm?
Just replace the springs with better spings anyways and you can customize the force required to press. They are both practically the same other than the springs and the hole on the bottom that determines the actuation point (but in normal use most people won't care about the actuation point too much). Also, if you want that clangy sound to go away lube the switch and the stabilizers in the bigger keys
bad video
holy dude this is actually so professional I'm sold

Thank you you helped me a lot! Beacuse I want to upgrade my keyboard and I wonder if Gateron yellows or Cherry MX Silvers are better?
Bought the DK61 last month with the Gateron Optical Silvers and they feel amazing. Definitely an upgrade from my off-brand Cherry MX blues. I bought it when there was a discount and a $15 coupon so it was around $45. 10/10 recommend for the price. The keyboard also comes with some nice PBT double-shot keycaps.
this guy doesn't even know what he's talking about. There's a diffrence beetween optical and mechanical switches. Optical have bigger wobble and do also bottom out higer up. Also his talk about silver being faster while having a 10 gram diffrence is also just made up. Typing or gaming for that matter is gonna be slightly faster for most people. Now because he's probably not familiar with the yellows hes not gonna prether them over the silvers.
there's a real concern over too easily actuating a key when you don't want to, just by resting the fingers a bit too hard. false positives are crucial to not have. thus too low actuation point will be a horrible thing.
I recently got my first ever mechanical keyboard (HK Gaming GK61 with gateron optical silvers). The first thing I noticed is how heavier the switch got as I was bottoming it out. I'm definitely gonna replace the stock spring with a spring that feels more consistent throughout.
The second thing I noticed is the actuation distance. That 1mm actuation distance felt wrong to me. I'm one of those people that like to hover around the actuation point while gaming. ( i don't like to bottom out a key, I also don't like to let a key fully reset.) Luckily for me, Gateron optical reds are like silvers but with a 2mm actuation and a 4mm total travel distance.
Ciao ho acquistato la stessa tastiera ma il tasto "s" non funziona sapresti aiutarmi? Se clicco fn mi tiene premuto la s come faccio? (Translate)
Bought the dk61e with blue optical switches but changed to silver and it was the best decisions ive ever made.
beautifully filmed and super informative, love the vid
man o man.... really like your videos very detailed, your video feels like next gen. The Quality and Hardwork u put in these videos is mindblowing, far better than many channels with 1million subs.
+Rep man
keep up the good work!
Hey thank you homie!
dude i was just looking for a new linear switch for my keyboard and this vid popped up, perfect timing. also great quality vid dude :)
Cheers! 👌
Dude I waited for this so long, I got the Silvers around half a year ago! I always wondered why they got overlooked so bad. Good Video Rielly, keep the Video quality! You are way to underrated
Why did they get overlooked bad ??
@@AjCsmith because hype was around opt yellow switches no one even tried silvers, I have the silvers and prefer them over the yellow switches my mate had it and I didn’t like the feel, his key caps were thin and sometimes resting my fingers on wasd would register
@@user-wb2ry9hg3u quick question do u have the gk61? Bc if u do can u tell me if it’s worth it or should I get my son the huntsman mini because I looked at the reviews at the gk61 and huntsman and they both have their fair share of good reviews and also bad ones
@@bsav7883 yes i have one and i would highly reccomend getting a gk61 theyre really cheap and very customizable, the hunstmen mini is a solid keyboard but definatly better keyboards out there for that price
@@user-wb2ry9hg3u ok thats and another question what switches did u get?
Hi I'm 6 months late but I hope you will still see this, I got this and I have brown switches for the white version, are those good?

Ty
Thanks bro
Goat
ASMR
bruh make youtube channel
Excellent review(or explanation) TY ! Subbed ! Since I can only find Redragon keyboard with V-Optical switches - what is your opinion on those ? TY in advance !
I was not happy when the yellow switches were not available so I had to get silver switches but now I am happy with my order 👍
Ok the yellow switches with pudding caps sounds like LEGO building game ngl
Thanks Rielly. I've made my mind and chose Silver after watching your video. Still waiting for my GK61 keyboard though
How is it?
@@zotication it's awesome man. Love it so much ❤️👍
Since the optical yellow ran out, I got the mechanical yellow. I would just like to ask how good the mechanical yellow switches are. Thank you!
Would brown switches or black switches be better for someone who prefers a sort of clicks sound when pressing keys
Do you know which switches have the closest sound to omnipoint switches?
Gateron optical silver vs Razer optomechanical red silent(from the mini version)? Thanks.
Which gateron switch is the quietest? And also the tezarre tk61pro for 35 bucks on Amazon has your choice of red, brown, black or blue gateron optical switches. All the same price.
Which switch would you recommend in terms of smoothness and responsiveness? The HyperX Reds/Razer Yellows/Razer Optical Reds/Gatreon Silvers.
i just bought one and thought yellow switches might be a problem, hoped silver ones are more stable. In addition I also want to use it as my main keyboard, so I will have to do office tasks (of course, with a numeric pad)
Can you put the link of the switches only not keyboard+switches I have the gat optical red and I’m lookinf for silver switches for my GK61
The yellows sound sooooo goood when lightly lubed!!!! They sound like a loud tactile switch so if that’s what your looking for get the yellows. But if you want the traditional linear mound than get tha silvers
But both of them are linear? The blue optical ones are tactile
@@aqurac hes saying that they sound like tactiles, not feel like em
What about gateron brown switches ? Which is better for coding, any advice ?
Idk what keyboard to get. What r like the actuation and everything one the Anne pro 2 gateeon reds
2:45 The material for the gateron optical switches is clear polycarbonate on top, black nylon on bottom, and POM stems
Idk if you know jerian but he said yellow bottoms out faster even than apex so which one bottoms better. ? Yellow or silvers or equal
I just bought a gk61 with gateron optical silver and this video makes me happy
This might seem like a stupid question, but are the gateron silvers compatible with the huntsman mini? Thx
very nice video quality all i can so though is that you may want to lube both for a sound test because i think that the yellows sound much better than the stock yellows lubed. i dont have much expiriance with the silver but honestly lubing the yellows may make it shine above the lubed silvers.
How’s the sound comparison with silvers and yellows? Cause I need a quiet keyboard
Since the price of the three keyboards r so different I don’t think a comparison would be too beneficial?
2:26 that’s naughty
Chill
Underated
Eny idea where can i get optical switches shipped to Poland? I got MK61 from GamaKay with yellow's and I wanted to buy silver or red. Unfortunatley i cant seem to find them anywhere
when did the sound check with the yellow switches +havit pbt keycaps it sounded like he was moving around a bag of keycaps that wasn't on a keyboard
So between the huntsman mini, the GK61 and the ducky one 2 mini which is the best. I am in the market for a new keyboard and i am trying to find the best one.
i need an opinion, i have the exact same gk61 but mine has browns, i'm wondering if its worth upgrading the gk61 or if i should just buy a new keyboard. i was looking at the keychron v1 with knob to be exact, lmk thanks.
buying a keychron v1 with knob would cost 132 CAD idk if there is shipping cost
upgrading my gk61 would cost around 60 CAD
Silvers are not better but they also aren't worse, they are almost identical to the yellow ones; the only difference would be the different actuation force and that's really mostly preference, yellows would suit you better if you like the feel of a lighter switch while silvers would suit you more if you like the same speed as the yellows ones but with a little heavier actuation force, personally I prefer Silvers, because I feel that the heavier actuation force makes me less susceptible to missclicks compared to the yellows.
Did you also customize the keyboard and if you did is there a video of it?
amazing vid as always!
Whats the song so chill. Thank you for this video I'm now gonna get the silver switches
should I buy the yellow switches or the silver ones
Are outemu optical switches swapable with gateron optical ones?
I thought I was watching a channel with millions subscribers! Holy the quality! Very good video!
does anyone know what lube you use for the yellow switches?
Was interested in the white version of the gk61 but I cant find it in banggood :(
I love my Gateron Optical Yellow switches with 50g springs. The other springs are just stupid light and since I use them for gaming. It was just not right, even for typing they are too soft.
which springs did u get
is the difference of the black, red, silver, and yellow just the auction force???
Hi, Is the GK61 with Silver Switches wireless ? nice video btw
Haha, suprised to see my thumbnail in the video at 2:01. Great video mate. Keep it up
would you put this above the huntsman mini?
Which is the best switch and color in the gk61?
(I playing valorant,fortnite,roblox)suggest a key based on these games.
The yellows sound like legos bruh
off topic but do linear switches fit in a dk61 pls tell me before i buy the switches
Well I didn't like how they were different from the standard gateron yellows so I added some thick paper "washers" between the plate and the pcb of my gk6. And now the actuation point is somewhere near 2mm and the actuation force is higher.
Okay i got question because i just bought gk61 on silver and idk if i did good decision because yellow switches has 35 operating force and silvers has 45 and im a bit scard lol, does operating force making ANY difference every thing js the same travel, and actuation point but the operating force is different so Please someone tell me.🙏🙏🙏
Nice Video! Though i would’ve highlighted the dk61e more because it comes stock with PBT keycaps
thanks this video really helped with my decision
do u need a optical pcb for the switches to work optically . Just a question I wanna make my own keyboard with a optical silver gat
Yes I think so
I can say that the yellow switches yes are very sensitive BUT if you are like me and can get really used to them in like a day or 2 then you will be great. I love the switches they are really quick in terms of typing and gaming on them. Nothing really bad happened to me yet.
I have to agree. I just got gaterons yellow keyboard and coming from G103 its painfull to getting used to ligtness of these switches. I found going left unintentionally in FPS games just by resting finger on letter A
Bro We really want A Comparison With Razer huntsman Mini and Ducky one 2 mini with this Keyboard...
My current keyboard just has a stick going down from the keycap which presses a rubber thingy and that registers the click.
How are the silver switches better than the browns?
your video helped me a lot ... very good recomendation !!! I did buy a new keyboard with gateron optical silvers, before i did have one from kingston with kailh silver speed ... its a difference like night and day ia can say.
where’s the best place to buy the switches seperate?
any full size or tenkeyless keyboard with the gateron silvers? can´t find one...
the Varmilo EC Daisy v2 switches is the best imo. so dang smooth
Can you send me a link on where to buy the optical silvers i made the misstake of buying blues
If you bought the gk61 they should be swappable just buy new optical silvers
just from me lightly resting my fingers on these keys its pressing them, i got the gk61 with silver switches and its getting really annoying. how do i fix this?? like are there keycaps i can buy for it?
fff
Yesterday my keyboard arrive, is the gk 61 with Black switches. Is ok or i Will Need to buy yellow switches??
That intro was amazing.
They’re also cheaper on amazon too!
Have you tried the hyperx keycaps
Finally the recognition the silvers deserve
I know im late to this vid. But the production of this video is amazing.
Can you put cherry mx silvers on the gk61?
Does anyone know the actuation force of the omnipoint switches?
i prefer lubed yellows! extra sensitive switches are a plus to me!
If you get the dk61e then it will come with pbt keycaps
A quick tip if you have heavy fingers or if you a bit older get the gateron optical silver it’s the best switch for heavy fingers that you can get in the market
Lubed geteron optical yellow switches feels really good
Can use spray super lube?
@@fud1041 Only spray lube if you can’t open the switch like the Razer optical switches. But regular lubing is way better.
@@Beggzy2667 thanks bro 🙏🏻
@zen ok ty
I bayed gayteron yallows
no joke that first snipe i saw someone post it on tik tok and it was like send this to the best sniper
whats the best switch for the gk61 if im gaming
Ngl that little intro was really cool
dude those keycaps looks sick
Thanks! I’m gonna get silvers now
