HP GK100 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Blue Switch, USB Wired, RGB Backlit

HP GK100 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The HP GK100 is a full-size wired mechanical keyboard built around clicky Blue switches and per-key RGB backlighting. It targets gamers and typists who want audible tactile feedback and plug-and-play operation on Windows or macOS without extra software. Double-shot keycaps are rated for 50 million clicks, so the legends stay readable through heavy daily use.

Sustained typing and gaming sessions

Blue switches deliver a distinct click and tactile bump on every press, which remains consistent during long matches or extended writing stints because the mechanism does not rely on a soft rubber dome that can mush over time. The keyboard enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity and wakes instantly when any key is pressed, keeping the USB link stable without manual reconnection. A sturdy plastic chassis and adjustable feet keep the typing angle steady even during rapid, repeated keystrokes.

Compatibility and setup check

Verify you have a free USB-A port and that your system runs Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 or macOS, as listed in the supported operating systems. The 17.1 by 5.1 inch footprint needs enough desk clearance for the full layout including the number pad. Buyers who prefer silent linear switches or a compact tenkeyless form factor should look elsewhere, as this model is full-size and clicky by design.
