> 24 hourThis RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 mechanical keyboard is a great keyboard. The switches are solid already - very responsive - and the keyboard is quiet. It has a great feel to it. Plus it is hot swappable in case I do want to change anything. My son is the keyboard connoisseur and he left this one alone (for now). Overall a versatile, quality 60% keyboard.

> 24 hourRight out of the box, this keyboard is surprisingly good. Its very easy to disassemble, which is great for when you want to get in to modding keyboards, but dont have the money/commitment for a more expensive one. I quite liked the switches provided, and though I havent taken the time to go through and lube them myself, they feel and sound pretty decent. Theres a lot of functionality packed in to the keyboard...perhaps too much. Theres a lot to remember, but this is probably a downside of any keyboard thats this small. If it were just a slightly larger variation, I feel it would be even better, but this size is still good. The rgb is also decent, but not anything to write home about. I did note that the lights are north facing, so Id avoid cherry keycaps for this board.

> 24 hourI got this for when I take longer business trips with my laptop. I like having a slightly larger keyboard that what is on my laptop. It also allows me to sit a bit further away so I can elevate the laptop to eye height while having a keyboard at desk level. It is one more thing to pack when I travel but it is worth it when I am working from a hotel room a few hours a day for a week.

> 24 hourThis is the very first small keyboard I have ever used (I have always used full-sized keyboards.) However, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how good this keyboard performs. Typing on the keyboard is a joy. I was scared I would miss the arrow keys and numberpad too much. But, I dont. The toggle for the arrow keys works really well and is easy to use. And the compact build of the keyboard frees up a lot of space on my desk. The keys are not as clicky as I normally like, but they feel good, and typing is easy and comfortable. The wireless features work well, but I prefer to use the cable. So, thats what I do. The labeling on the keys makes it easy to use the FN key without needing a course or manual. Build quality is first rate. All keys are double-shot and feel absolutely premium. The RGB lighting is a nice touch, as well. The only thing I dont like about the keyboard is that the light does not illuminate the type face on the keys. However, thats not really a big deal when you consider how well this keyboard performs. I am typing on it now, as a matter of fact. I dont know if will use this as my main keyboard all the time. However, for now, its great. Feels really good and I am enjoying it. For the price, this is an excellent value. It costs about half the price of my regular keyboard and types just as well and comfortably. The only thing missing is that loud and obnoxious click that I really like. Still, it sounds good - especially for the price. Build Quality - 5/5 Outstanding Wireless - 5/5 both 2.4 and Bluetooth work great Ease of Use - Pairs easily and Windows detects without issues Feel - 5/5 really nice to type on. just feels expensive and premium Value for Money - 5/5 - For $75, you cant go wrong.

> 24 hourOkay, so this is my first mechanical keyboard, and Im quite surprised at just how different it is from a normal membrane keyboard. But the switches are really smooth and responsive, and the RGB is really nice looking. The only thing I dont quite care for is the size, as its also my first 60% keyboard, and I find that switching between the function and media keys is a bit cumbersome, and the overall feeling is a bit cramped. Well, to say its cramped is like saying the Sahara is a bit dry. I mean, I do have large hands, not trying to make things weird... Okay, in retrospect, I think saying that Im not trying to make it weird probably did more to actually make it weird then mentioning that I have large hands, but OH MY GOODNESS THIS KEYBOARD IS SO SMOOTH TO TYPE ON.... Like, seriously, is this my like now? Am I going to be on message boards at 3 AM comparing key-caps and switches? Am I going to be installing mods on my keyboard to both make it quieter and louder? Like, Oh, now its a bit too quiet, need to make it slightly louder? Am I just typing more and more in this review to keep typing on this keyboard? The answer to all of those, are of course, yes.

> 24 hourI have to say this is the best looking keyboard I have ever seen. It is perfect. Everything works right out of the box. I didn’t have any problems with the 2.4G or the Bluetooth or the wired connection. The SkyCyan switches and the key caps feel and sound great. The USB-A through port is a really great addition to a really great keyboard. Thank you RK for making such a wonderful keyboard. I highly recommend RK keyboards.

> 24 hourI have several RK Royal Kludge Keyboard’s most of which were a purchase, this keyboard was provided at no cost. That having been said this is by far the best of them all to date. I am a bit of a keyboard enthusiast and can honestly say this is by far the best 60% I currently own and prefer it to most of the 65% & 75% boards I have & I have many. What I like about this keyboard: -Linear Sky Cyan switches are super smooth and very quiet (silent even) -Hot Swappable, but like these switches so much I don’t see myself every swapping them out -Bluetooth, can be paired with up to 3 Bluetooth devices -2.4g wireless, with magnetic storage so don’t have to wonder where you left the dongle. -USB Type C cable connection when wired or charging. -USB C Hub when using wired, you won’t believe how often this comes in handy. -Nearly every function if not all functions with FN key, all are labeled on the front side of the keycap so does not clutter top face and won’t wear away. -Fantastic RGB lighting with many options to chose from without having to download software. -Instructions manual which I would not normally use or comment on is also probably the best I have received with a keyboard. Directions are clear and readable without a microscope and finding various functions was extremely easy. What I love about this Keyboard: -Typing experience is incredible, I have 30+ keyboards ranging from budget to expensive only one can compares to the typing experience out of the box as the RK61 and it cost 3 times what this one does on sale. I normally type 75-80wpm, before getting comfortable with this keyboard I tested my typing speed and was blown away after testing at 90wpm (a new record for me). What’s more it was effortless. -Super quiet, no pining, ringing, squeaking, or creaking (even the space bar). Great for office or video conferencing and wish I could get this in an 1800 format for productivity use. Absolutely amazing what they have accomplished with this keyboard, I can’t say enough how much I enjoy using this keyboard. - No modifications needed, works perfectly out of the box as is. -All connections work with no delay and switching is super-fast. -Love the color combination of board and keycaps and white typeface is very clear even in dim lighting. -Weight and feel of this keyboard give me a sense of quality. What some may not like: -I don’t think keycaps are PBT but can’t tell so does not bother me, they feel, sound quality. - Keycaps are not shine through, for touch typists won’t be an issue, especially on a 60% board and should not be an issue for anyone IMO with the lighting cast from laptop or screen legends should still be highly visible being white against a dark background. Highly recommend this keyboard, especially if any of the things mentioned in this review appeal to you, you might just save a few bucks because there are many options out there but for reasons mentioned none I have tried have really measured up to this one.
