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.

This is a must have for gaming, new or seasoned. The satisfying click is amazingly soft to use, and the colors are calming for any room. The battery lasts so long, I forgot it even needed to be charged for weeks.

First off this thing is absolutely AMAZING! I have 4 Royal Kludge Keyboards and this on is my favorite. I still use the RK100 as my main board because I need a numpad for work but when I am getting ready to game the RK61 is my go to. The Cyan switches are an amazing feeling linier pre lubed swtich that is like butter. The color choice of the Blue, Gold and White are gorgeous and remind me of the Gundam keyboard made by Asus Rog Strix.

I am a little bit picky when it comes to keyboard, and I was unlucky enough to own a 2019 Macbook Pro which has one of the worst keyboard ever created so I have been attaching a variety of keyboard to my laptop for quite some time now, i guess this makes me a bit of an expert on keyboards. Up until now I have been using whats available in my office but I finally broke down and bought a keyboard. So far I really enjoyed the typing experience. I think mechanical keyboards really improves productivity as it forces the user to type with some intention (as compared to the thin Macbook keyboards). The 61 key layout is not ideal for me as I have to memorize quite a few shortcuts to achieve the functionality of a full keyboard, but that is my own fault for not planning ahead. I think the keyboard is outstanding and it a very useful tool for work.

Ooooh I wish I could send pictures of this but Ive already started fussing with the keycaps! For starters... the 60% is new for me and its taken a bit to get used to, I still have to reference the keys to make sure Im hitting the right ones when accessing the Fn layer, but the keycaps that come with this are really well labeled and easy to read. The switches.. these are delicious. I have a keyboard with browns, blues, and now these. Blues are *loud*, I adore the browns (I keep that keyboard at work) but these sky cyans are responsive, quiet, and the keyboard has a pretty delicious thock to it. Reading other reviews makes me want to make my first attempt at modding it and throw some tape on the back. I appreciate how easy the keycaps and switches are to remove. This is my first with hotswappable switches and Ill definitely take advantage. Having the USB ports on the back has been great too. I run this wired, havent tried the bluetooth or 2.4g connections, but I love that I can use this as a quick, accessible USB port. All in all, for the $60 price tag at time of posting, totally worth.

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

Okay, 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.

Dont get me wrong-- this keyboard is great! Its quiet but gives me the click that I need. It doesnt have keyboard leg, though. I like keyboard legs because it makes me feel like my hands dont get tired as easily and it gives an extra boost for my hands since my wrist is on a keyboard rest.

My Grandson loved it!

While this is not my go-to size/layout for a small keyboard, I have enjoyed using this one. The lack of dedicated arrow keys is not my thing, but I did not deduct any stars for that since thats a personal flavor thing, and also not a fair critique for this kind of KB layout. I tested this with a couple different games (Terraria and Deep Rock Galactic) and it held up absolutely fine with each one. The switches are smooth and responsive and the keycaps feel nice to type on. I actually prefer the smoothness of these switches to my primary writing KB and am thinking I now need to buy a set of these cyan ones to match that experience. The battery life is excellent; I never even charged it after opening it and have been using it for about a week now maybe 30-60 min a day and havent had to charge it yet. The connectivity is all nice and I also love how this KB has a dedicated on/off switch. Ive had some that dont and it drives me crazy! Its got some weight to it so it wont slide around on the desk, but would be easily portable for a mobile game night (the primary reason I picked this up for myself, actually), and It feels solid and good to use. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a compact gaming board that still gives a nice smooth typing experience.
