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).

Hey guys - I'm building a collaborative real-time video editing software that will be launching sometime next year. Check it out and sign up for early access now! www.vidsembly.com/
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!
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.
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!
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
Dang the production quality is insane
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)
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!
holy dude this is actually so professional I'm sold
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?
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! 👌
This may be the most underrated and best pro looking video and UA-camr I’ve ever seen
Bought the dk61e with blue optical switches but changed to silver and it was the best decisions ive ever made.
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 ❤️👍
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
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.
beautifully filmed and super informative, love the vid
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.
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 👍
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.

Thanks bro

bruh make youtube channel
I just bought a gk61 with gateron optical silver and this video makes me happy
Haha, suprised to see my thumbnail in the video at 2:01. Great video mate. Keep it up
sponsored by a keyword bot
rielly: didn’t use keywords
sinqix I used them in the tags 👌
2:45 The material for the gateron optical switches is clear polycarbonate on top, black nylon on bottom, and POM stems
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?
Nice Video! Though i would’ve highlighted the dk61e more because it comes stock with PBT keycaps
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)
the Varmilo EC Daisy v2 switches is the best imo. so dang smooth
amazing vid as always!
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
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
Ok the yellow switches with pudding caps sounds like LEGO building game ngl
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?
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 thought I was watching a channel with millions subscribers! Holy the quality! Very good video!
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
2:26 that’s naughty
Chill
Underated
They’re also cheaper on amazon too!
Whats the song so chill. Thank you for this video I'm now gonna get the silver 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.
for typing at least .. the yellows were way too sensitive so I put the springs from the optical yellows into the optical blacks and it feels and responds amazingly..
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.
thanks this video really helped with my decision
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
I believe standard Gaterons (not inks) are made with a polycarbonate top and a nylon bottom, for both their mechanical and optical switches.
That's what I thought but I wasn't sure! Cheers
I feel like the yellows are better, lighter spring is awesome minimum effort needed longer gaming seshes
yellow is good for me but only space bar need more force since just rest your thumb will lead to it activation on yellow
I’m glad I got the GK61 (From Aliexpress, got it with Optical Browns) I’m planning on going with Optical Silvers since I’m a huge fan of Speed Silvers from Cherry
They are way different from eachother 😹😹😹
@@mexzywrld4165 Not really.
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
i prefer lubed yellows! extra sensitive switches are a plus to me!
Best thing about mechanical keyboards with hot swappable switches. You don't have to use the same color of switches throughout the entire keyboard. You could use a heavier switch like cherry on the WASD keys while using a lighter switch on the rest of the keyboard. Since most keyboard/mouse gamers tends to rest their left hand fingers on the WASD keys.
That intro was amazing.
Thanks! I’m gonna get silvers now
Rielly you should try the Leopold FC660M PD because I think that it is the closest to an enthusiast-level custom board when it comes to build quality that you can buy pre-built, it doesn´t have some weird ¨Fastest Switches¨ Gimmick it just has really good build quality and it comes in a variety of Cherry MX switches, it's nothing special like I said it doesn´t have a weird gimmick, its just good it might not sound interesting because its like every other keyboard, but its amazing to try.
I tried them both but i like the yellow ones more but they are both so smooth
everyone who plays fortnite likes yellows its like a secret society
The yellows sound like legos bruh
Silver is my 2nd option, because I press ever so lightly
When I bought them they were out of stock so I had to wait, the seller push blues on me repeatedly since they were in stock, i got a few of them for the arrows and space bar only then silvers for enters and back keys and esc
It all comes down to preference
I know im late to this vid. But the production of this video is amazing.
i think personally when going optical red is better than yellow because its 10 heavier actuation. Normal gaterons yellow are heavier. This almost made me spend money.
Now i'm looking at optical blacks, those seem really nice as well.
dude those keycaps looks sick
Ngl that little intro was really cool
The dk61e comes with pbt keycaps it’s basically the same as the gk
and dk61e packaging is sealed properly so it looks brand new while gk61, ducky, leopold are not sealed at all.
I have the optical gat silvers, lubed and filmed with eva foam inside the case. Its super soft just by resting my fingers it presses lol
Regarding sound. Its great! Its almost silent but still with thocc! Using skyloong sk61
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!
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.
*yeah im definetely switching to silver thanks.* also im typing this on gateron red.
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?
3:55 I’d like to see an in depth review on those 3 keyboards.
I would rank them as this
1. Ducky one 2 mini
2. Gk61 with yellow or silver switches
3. Huntsman mini :)
Imo
@@dom.liftsz nah ducky is lowkey overrated
@@octs609 this was a long time ago, my favorite rn is gk61
@Jan F hey, I don't have my gk61 yet but I'm gonna go with the gk with the yellow cause it's really good for the price and imo better than the mk61, I hope this helped 🙃
such a good content sir!
Thank you man I was looking at this keyboard for a while now and didn't know what switch to get
No problem
Hi, Is the GK61 with Silver Switches wireless ? nice video btw
Exactly I have silvers on the gk61 there so underrated
Yessir!
@@RiellyMilne me2
Slivers rules beat yellow big time...
Finally the recognition the silvers deserve
This made me buy Gamakay LK67 with Gateron Silver Switches!
Thx for the info 💯
I have the gk61 with red switches, I really like it
reds are ass
@@bendaaa69 I got reds but I’m probably gonna switch to yellows but idk if I want silvers now
@@bendaaa69 just like ur self promos
@@bendaaa69 Optical reds are great
It actually comes down to preference i like optical yellow switches because they are lighter to press on if u like silver u can go for it. And i forgot the optical yellow switches are slightly faster when u do a benchmark.
Well obviously they are going to be faster better they are lighter switches. But lighter isn’t always better.
If you get the dk61e then it will come with pbt keycaps
there is a couple of keyboards with magnets in them where it can go up to 0.1 millimeters.
Would brown switches or black switches be better for someone who prefers a sort of clicks sound when pressing keys
My current keyboard just has a stick going down from the keycap which presses a rubber thingy and that registers the click.
the DIERYA DK61E already have pbt keycaps tho
I got the skylong gk 61 with yellows bc there was not silver available but after a month or more i will buy silvers
Yellow is a bit faster then silver but it’s light so you barely have to touch it,so if your heavy handed don’t get yellow,if your light handed you should get yellow
WOW! I recently got into the GK61 and you covered it really well! I even like that you brought up the DK61e, because I think that’s the one gamers should get! I had to return the GK61, because it looks like it has a very low polling rate of 100hz, while the DK61e has it at 1000. Making it more “accurate” and faster, in a way. It also comes with PBT keycaps, which are better. I was planning on ordering the DK61e w/ yellows, but i think you’ve convinced me to get silvers. The yellows do make it faster since it’s less resistant, but I did think it was very sensitive. Maybe that’s something to be accustomed to.
I have the dk61 its amazing but the color options are horrible.
@@SreyanManik yellows?
@@ClearVod nah im talking about the rgb and the software is trash
Im tryna get the womier k87.
I have an Apex Pro TKL but i use it at an angle and i feel like i can get much more room with the gk61 so i’m gonna try it and if I still like the Apex Pro better, we’ll i guess i have 2 keyboards 😂
Which switch would you recommend in terms of smoothness and responsiveness? The HyperX Reds/Razer Yellows/Razer Optical Reds/Gatreon Silvers.
operating force ( Yellow 35 cN (±15 cN) ) ( silver 45 cN (±15 cN) )
this just sounds like preference bro
I mean it is but they could be a good alternative since the yellows are growing even more in popularity
should I buy the yellow switches or the silver ones
no joke that first snipe i saw someone post it on tik tok and it was like send this to the best sniper
Idk what keyboard to get. What r like the actuation and everything one the Anne pro 2 gateeon reds
Did you also customize the keyboard and if you did is there a video of it?
Bro We really want A Comparison With Razer huntsman Mini and Ducky one 2 mini with this Keyboard...
Was interested in the white version of the gk61 but I cant find it in banggood :(
Do you know which switches have the closest sound to omnipoint switches?
