The Newman GM610 might be my new favorite budget mechanical keyboard — and it costs less than $50

The idea of a wireless mechanical keyboard below $50 is unthinkable to most, yet Newmen has somehow pulled it off. The Newmen GM610 ($39) exists as a bold challenge to expensive mini gaming keyboards by offering a complete suite of features at incredible value. While the cut corners are plain to see, the GM610 has impressed me with the wealth of functionality available at such a low barrier of entry, and gaming performance is nothing to sneer at, either.

l give the GM610 plenty of credit where it’s due. At $39, getting a full set of switches (plus 4 spare!) on a board is definitely worthy of praise. Add in wireless functionality, plus customizable RGB backlighting and you have a bargain of a keyboard at your fingertips. Typing and gaming performance on the GM610 is definitely decent, and the ability to hotswap switches and customize your setup with the included full set of keycaps is great to see.
