RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Plus Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 60% RGB Gaming Keyboard with USB Hub, Hot Swappable Computer PC Keyboards with Bluetooth/2.4G/Wired Modes, Silence Linear SkyCyan Switches

This is a problem. I already have a favorite keyboard, my Royal Kludge RK84 Pro, but I wanted to see what all the rage was about with 60% keyboards. I might get it now. I notice the size difference, but it is intuitive with the exception of the cursor keys, which are always on, you will have to use the Fn key to use the right Alt, Ctrl, etc. which is the opposite of what the keys indicate. The RK linear SkyCyan switches are much improved over my RK linear browns, and overall it is a much quieter keyboard. It is also lighter. Overall this keyboard is very nice for the price. Wireless with a dongle, wired for use and charging, and 3 Bluetooth options, a USB hub, RGB, and some nice linear switches. You won’t find much, if anything, in this price range with those features. I only wish I could change the angle, but this keyboard doesn’t have any adjustments for that. The switches on the back over the bottom are a nice improvement, though I’m still not sure why the wireless dongle option is labeled “G” This might not replace my work keyboard, but I think I have a new favorite gaming keyboard. If you need to save desktop space, enjoy a default height keyboard, and can use those features, you cannot go wrong with this keyboard.

My grandsons birthday gift

Very nice quality. The keys and switches feel really good. This is one of the nicer boards I’ve seen on Amazon.

* A colorful and cool mechanical keyboard. * I am not a PC game (I play on consoles) but I bought this for my office work as I love the sound of these keys and need a compact one that I can fit in my laptop bag and take with me to the office. * 3 ways to connect I connect over Bluetooth. * Works with Mac OS. I do not try windows but it will work. * Swappable keys * Long battery life. Works for 2-3 weeks for my office work.

so i have never heard of rk switches and honestly i been messing up these are super clacky on the space bar and the keys feel great i would say they are in between blues and yellows and feels really good to game on i messed with this all night on mw2 campaign last night and it may be my new favorite keyboard only second to my ltc neon keyboard with ink switches but all and all i love it and would recommend i love this keyboard i was actually fortionate enough to get their lemon switches so i will be installing this on the all blue variant of the keyboard soon

Ive had several RK keyboards back in the day and they were always a pretty decent budget branded boards but this new RK61 Plus is a very interesting board from them. The build quality is really good compared to my past experiences with them. The housing is nice and solid, doesnt sound too hollow, and doesnt flex too much. Good quality plastic. What really surprises me is that the key switches feel and sound great. The keycaps are also pretty good quality and feel good too. One feature I thought was pretty cool was that it has some USB ports on the back that you can use if youre in wired mode which I always use. This is great if you want to keep your wireless mouse receiver close by for better connection, or if you want to power your LED mouse pad, or do both. Its a pretty interesting feature that I would like to see on a lot more keyboards. I really like this board and its earned its place on my display board as its just a really cool board to me. The price is what I would consider pretty fair for a board like this and in the price range its pretty on par with others. I give it a 10/10, Well done.

This 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.

This is a great update to the RK61 that is everything that the original is. The layout of this board is very well thought out. The layers to reach different functions make sense, for the most part. The keycaps included in this set look really nice with this board and the stabs sound quite nice out of the box. Keys feel stable and the overall sound of the board is slightly on the deeper side. You can use 3pin or 5pin switches on this board but youll want to be careful with cherry profile keycaps. The LEDs are north facing and can cause some interference with a lot of different switches that you may want to choose. The USB passthrough is another great welcome that I couldnt be happier to see. Overall if you are looking for a great mechanical 60% keyboard this one is really solid out of the box and with a little time and work modding it, it has potential to be a monster.

I must admit that I am not very tech savvy. I was very concerned that I would not be able to figure this out, but it is surprisingly easy. It is very user friendly and the instructions walk you through how to connect it to the Bluetooth. Other than it being wireless, it works exactly the same way as a regular keyboard.

Overall rating 8/10. Out of the box the feel was very nice. I had never used this type of linear switch before, but I can say it is very close to a classic gateron yellow. The stabs come prelubed with a thicker lubricant (thicker than 205g0). The caps seem to be decent enough quality, and I havent noticed any obvious printing errors, or any errors in the placement of keys. The layers can take a bit to get used to, but overall usability is still very good even out of the box. The keyspacing is also incredibly decent, I would say Im particularly sensitive to weird keyspacing and I easily type 110+ wpm with this keyboard. This keyboard is definitely not a disposable office toy. Its a nice addition to your desk or collection. Take care.
