SHOCKING: Gamakay tk101 review | Mind Blowing Facts

The Gamakay TK101 gaming keyboard in a red and white colourway and on a colourful mouse pad.

The Gamakay TK101 seems like one of those products that's almost too good to be true. A $70/£58 keyboard that's mechanical, supports both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, RGB-backlit, gasket mounted and hot-swappable must come with some compromises, right? Otherwise, that's some seriously aggressive pricing from Gamakay.

Well, let's take a look at what we've got here and find out. The TK101 features quite an odd layout, which the brand terms as being a 98 percent option. It looks similar to a 96 percent, or 1800 layout, as featured on Keychron's Q5 HE, although chops and changes things by moving some of the nav cluster keys above the number pad and omitting the right Windows, Alt and Insert keys. This leaves others in between the Enter key and the number pad, with the arrow keys underneath. It's fine to use, providing a mostly full complement of keys, although takes some getting used to—even as a long-term enthusiast, it wasn't a layout I'd come across before.
