A keyboard with a separate switch under every key. They feel more precise, last longer and can be customised.
Do you need a mechanical keyboard? A nice upgrade if you type a lot. It's a matter of taste rather than necessity.
What to look for
- Layout: UK or US, and full-size or compact

The full review
Where it fits
The DK61SE is a wired 60% keyboard from Dierya, released in August 2022. It has 61 keys in an ANSI/US layout and connects over USB-C with a detachable cable. There is no wireless mode listed, so it is a desk board first. The compact size and the value are what owners praise most.
That makes it a sensible option for a small desk or a second keyboard for a work bag. It is a poorer fit for anyone who wants deep remapping, a UK layout or a mixed Windows, Mac and Linux setup.
Build and keycaps6/10
The manufacturer lists a silicone gasket for mounting, which is a point in the DK61SE's favour for typing feel. The keycaps are double-shot ABS. ABS is the material listed, not PBT, so the keycaps are a likely first upgrade for anyone who cares about them.
The manufacturer lists a one-year warranty. The detachable USB-C cable is a practical detail: if the cable fails or you want a shorter one for travel, you can swap it rather than replace the board.
Typing feel5/10
The gasket mount is the main thing the specifications offer for typing feel. Against that, owners complain about rattle from the spacebar stabiliser. Buyers who are sensitive to noise should treat this as the main risk with the board.
Owners also praise the compact size and the value.
Software and customisationCustomisation 3/10Battery and software 3/10
This is the weakest area. Owners report that the software often fails to detect the board or to change the colours. RGB control is therefore unreliable for some people. Colour changes are one of the things owners say the software fails to do, so lighting is the area to be cautious about. With owners reporting detection failures, buyers should not count on adjusting lighting through it.
The manufacturer says Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and XP are supported. Mac OS and Linux are described as compatible for typing and office use only. Anyone on macOS or Linux should expect to use the board as a plain keyboard, not to configure it.
Layout and ergonomics4/10
The board has 61 keys in a 60% layout, which keeps it compact. UK buyers who rely on the ISO layout will find no ISO option in the specifications. No adjustable typing angle is listed either.
Who it suits
The specifications and owner reports point the same way. Owners praise the compact size and the value, and the 61-key ANSI/US layout keeps the footprint small. The manufacturer lists Windows versions as supported, with Mac OS and Linux limited to typing and office use, so Windows users are the clearest fit. The complaints are specific: a spacebar stabiliser that rattles and software that often fails to detect the board. For a buyer who wants a plain small keyboard, those matter less. For a buyer who wants quiet typing or controllable lighting, they are the deciding factors.
Verdict
The DK61SE offers a gasket-mounted, double-shot ABS 60% board with a detachable USB-C cable. Owners like the size and the value. The stabiliser rattle and the unreliable software are the points to weigh. It suits a Windows user who wants a small wired keyboard and will use it mostly as it comes. It is less suited to anyone who wants to remap keys, control RGB lighting reliably or use a UK layout.
