NEWMEN GM610 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard,60% Gaming keyboard Red Switch

I was looking for a small keyboard as a secondary unit to operate my pc from the comfort of my couch. This keyboard ticked all the boxes I had so I bought it at 30 euro's (about £26}. It arrived in two days and now I feel a bit guilty. This keyboard rocks. It's tiny and all plastic, and yet it feels solid, no deck flex at all. My initial impressions were not great though. I connected it via the 2.4ghz module and it wouldn't stay connected and frequently missed keys or doubled the input. That's wasn't the keyboards fault. It was the fact that I have too many 2.4ghz devices and a router right beside it. Once I switched to Bluetooth it worked flawlessly. I got the red switches. They are almost silent and have no tactile feedback. I may replace them in the future with browns but for now, it's a very pleasant experience typing with it. I could write a wall of text about this keyboard, especially as I am writing this review with it but to keep it short, if you want a great little keyboard with actual mechanical switches, cool lighting effects and great build quality, then I have no hesitation in recommending this keyboard. I like it more than my Logitech Pro mechanical keyboard which cost nearly twice as much.

Absolutely love this keyboard! I bought this keyboard impulsively as it was cheap at about £27, has a small form factor, wireless connectivity and of course RGB. Connectivity: Both the 2.4ghz and bluetooth connections work extremely well with no noticable delay for both. It is also super useful to be able to switch between different devices instantly as I often have 2 or more devices open at one time. Wired mode works well and will also charge the battery whilst in use, and the cable provided is pretty high quality. Additionally being able to switch between Windows and Mac layout is brilliant and extremely useful. Battery: I can't remember the last time I charged this, and I used it for about 9 hours a day, so battery life is excellent. When it does need charged you can still use it wirelessly which is again very useful. Switches: I got the red switches which are not bad. They provide a pretty smooth typing experience although may not be preffered if you're gaming as they are not very tactile but not bad at all. I have since replaced all the switches with Gateron Milky Yellows as I prefer the sound and feel. I have also added painters tape to the board and inside of the case to deaden the sound, and I really enjoy how it types. The keycaps are also quite nice, and I'm a massive fan of the colour scheme. The keys are not white as the image may suggest, but more of a 40 year old keyboard kinda colour, but it looks really good especially with the red accents. The RGB is not especially bright but it is easily bright enough to 1 look cool and 2 be usable in lower light. Summary: Love this keyboard. The only thing I would say is it doesn't have adjustable height, but that's not a massive issue. Cheap, wireless, hotswappable, good build quality, RGB, Mac & Windows compatible. Pretty brilliant keyboard for the money!

There are occasional bugs in this keyboard, but easily resolved by a quick tap of 2 keys to reset it, so those bugs are really not significant, but otherwise I would give this keyboard 5* As it seems to be based on open source designs (often based around Arduino/Pi Pico etc) I expect it could be updated or have different/custom firmware installed, to resolve those bugs, for people inclined to do that - but don't worry if you are not, the reset command is just 2 keys held down for a few seconds and its back to normal The bug i came across, was loosing the Number keys on the top row, inconveniently when I needed to type a PIN in, but a few seconds later and it was resolved The keyboard itself is really nice to use, the extra set of keycaps is a really nice feature, allowing very useful customisations, and with hot swappable switches, customizing the switches is super easy too (I find having certain keys with a different switch type, useful) Excellent value and well made, wireless connection was straight forward to multiple different devices, and switching to wired is also straightforward. I would personally prefer if the default backlight was low level red, rather than multicolour and changing, that is better for the eyes in a dim room, but, it's also quick and simple to change the colour scheme and switch to constant light, or one of the animated lighting schemes if you prefer Great quality product and the perfect price, iron out the very occasional firmware bugs and this would be a 5* keyboard for sure

This keyboard imbues an extremely satisfying & rigid design aesthetic.The strong rubberised feet are actually built into the underside of the keyboard, preventing any annoying movement even under significant duress & are therefore highly unlikely to become dislodged; be it at home, on the battlefield or at an MI5 safe house, squirrelled away somewhere in the wilds of mid Sussex. The backlit keyboard options are the cherry on top, enabling computer enthusiasts of all bents to take care of both business & leisure. Somewhat weightier than the average keyboard is just what I’d expected & very much appreciate. Keystrokes allow for robust application of digits-to-keys without fear of dislocation & with a supremely satisfying clicking sound of the keys. It’s a prominent clicking sound m, a la mid to late 80s but better because of some thirty or so years of insight into keyboard design. Backlit keyboard delivers excellent range of colour patterns, to meet a broad range of needs. Primary applications for me are: tethering to an iPhone via Low energy Bluetooth incredibly easy to pair & with a reliable, lag-free connection. OpenBSD 7.5 installed on a refurbished Lenovo T450, the lead was included in the box & worked without issue. Primary use-case: mobile covert operations using the T450 connected to a Puli (GL-XE300) Portable IoT Gateway | 4G LTE | OpenWrt with a 5000mAh battery. Use time since purchase & subsequent delivery one week ago: approximately 105 hours. 100% recommend.

I have move from a wired corsair k63 to the Newmen GM610 in wireless mode and I have to say I am impressed, it's incredible value for money it feels incredibly sturdy and responsive. And dare I say the switches feel better than CHERRY MX Red!! Yes, I do dare! I will update the review if I have any issues! Update I am having to factory reset this keyboard every few days as the Bluetooth stops connecting, a factory reset fixes it, but it's not ideal I have contacted the manufacturer for some advice maybe I received a faulty keyboard... Further update, it turns out to be a weird handshaking issue (between windows and the keyboard) the manufacturer says it's a window's problem, I think it's a firmware problem. Regardless, how to stop it happening is after you shut your PC off wait till the keyboard's q key flashes green, only then turn the power switch on the keyboard off. Even with this problem, you are getting a fantastic keyboard for the money! ----- Second update, the Bluetooth connectivity stopped working after two months and I had to return it for a refund, Amazon customer support make the process incredibly simple.

Amazing product, loved it!!

The letter "u" stopped working after two months.

This is a great keyboard at a great price. Wonderful, retro look, yeah, the white kind of adds a modern us to it. I just recently upgraded my desk set up with this keyboard. The typing feels wonderful and the colours are vibrant. I have it on a single colour to match my LEDs behind the desk which they match perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product The one downside which isn’t really the keyboard fault it’s what it’s meant for is the arrow keys are separate. I find I use the arrow keys are locked so I have it sent to them always arrow keys and a few times I’ve tried to press backslash and then realised I have to change the function Which isn’t too long but if I upgraded my keyboard in the future I would get a slightly larger, one with separate arrow keys. But I’ve still given it five stars because it is a great keyboard and it was built for the arrow keys to be like that it’s not a fault it’s just my preference. My only slight issue with it is when it wakes up from standby can get a bit leggy with the computer. I’m not sure if the issue with my laptop as it’s in clamshell mode or the keyboard but I have to turn off and on the keyboard using the switch at the bottom, and then it starts working perfectly again.
