What customers say about "Features"

Hong Kong Keyboards GK61 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The features for games are great, press as much keys at the same time as you want, fast response time and then the switches that you pick.
The software has a lot of customization like breathing, wave effects and could set each key as the color you like even creating your own.
If a switch dies just pull it out and replace it, or get some different Gateron Optical switches like blacks or yellows to change the entire feel.
The RGB is just not good, if you expect to use anything out of the basic colors like red, blue, green, etc.
Try to change a color? Good luck, you have to figure out how to make a profile, then try to choose a color.

Glorious GMMK Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Full Size

Hugely customizable RGB features.
Backlighting was important to me since I work in the dark frequently.
My previous board also had some switches going out, being able to replace switches is a great feature.
Very smartly designed, the GMMK has glorious features like replaceable switches.
Double-shot ABS keys, and nicely done surface-mount LED lighting in any color you like, as long as it's red.
