Is the STAR61 good for gaming?

Yes, for the price. It has linear switches and a small footprint, though it lacks a numpad and dedicated arrow keys.

Does it work with a Mac?

MageGee lists Windows and Mac compatibility. Expect to remap some keys for macOS shortcuts.

No. It is wired only, so you need a USB port free.

What switches does it use?

It uses linear mechanical switches, which are smooth with no tactile bump.

It is a fair buy for a backlit mechanical board. Compare it with other 60% boards on build and switch quality before you commit.

How many keys does it have?

61 keys in a QWERTY layout. There is no numpad, no dedicated arrow cluster and no separate function row.
