GK K61 Pro RGB Mechanical Keyboard-FAQs

How do I change RGB colors on the GK K61 Pro keyboard?

You can change the RGB lighting directly from the keyboard without software. Press Fn + Right Ctrl to cycle through the available RGB effects. To switch to a single solid color, press Fn + Spacebar, then tap the key that represents your preferred color. The GK K61 Pro offers multiple preset lighting styles for gaming or daily use.

How long does an RGB mechanical keyboard like GK K61 Pro last?

Mechanical keyboards are designed for durability. The GK K61 Pro’s switches typically last 50 million keystrokes or more, making it suitable for long-term gaming and typing. With proper care, the keyboard can easily last several years without performance issues.

Does the GK K61 Pro support software customization?

Some variants of the GK K61 Pro support companion software for advanced RGB control and key remapping, while others rely entirely on onboard shortcuts. Even without software, you can still manage lighting effects, brightness, and speed directly from the keyboard.

How do I switch between Windows and Mac modes?

You can toggle operating system modes using keyboard shortcuts. Press Fn + A to switch to Windows mode and Fn + S for Mac mode (varies slightly by firmware). This ensures correct key mapping for shortcuts like Ctrl, Alt, and Command.

Why is my GK K61 Pro not typing or responding?

If the keyboard isn’t typing, first check the connection mode (wired or Bluetooth). Try switching USB ports, charging the keyboard, or reconnecting Bluetooth. If the issue continues, perform a factory reset. Software glitches, low battery, or incorrect input mode are common causes of typing issues.

How do I use function keys (F1–F12) on a 60% keyboard?

Since the GK K61 Pro is a 60% keyboard, function keys are accessed using the Fn key. For example, press Fn + 1 for F1, Fn + 2 for F2, and so on. This compact design saves desk space while still providing full keyboard functionality.

How do I factory reset the GK K61 Pro keyboard?

To restore factory settings, press and hold Fn + Esc or Fn + Spacebar (depending on firmware) for about 5 seconds until the RGB lights flash. This reset clears custom lighting, key settings, and Bluetooth pairings, returning the keyboard to its default configuration.

Can I use the GK K61 Pro with a MacBook or macOS?

Yes, the GK K61 Pro is compatible with macOS. After pairing via Bluetooth or connecting with a USB cable, the keyboard works normally with MacBooks and iMacs. You may need to adjust modifier keys in macOS keyboard settings for the best experience, especially since it’s a 60% layout keyboard.
