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 what Ive been looking for in a 60% for a while now. I prefer larger form-factors, but theres just something about this one that always attracts me. What Ive wanted was a 60% that could be hot swapped, wireless, and didnt require much effort in terms of modding (I used to enjoy doing the stuff, but recently Ive become a dad and just dont have the same amount of time to dedicate to keyboards anymore). This checks all those boxes! While its good out of the box Im not a fan of linear switches, so I swapped them out for some tactiles. That being said, they were very smooth with next to no ping and no scratchy feeling. Whatever switch you go with, the stock dampening is good enough that you wont get much echo or resonance out of this chassis. The stabilizers could use a little lube though. After changing the keycaps I noticed the backspace has a tick on the left side and the shift has the same on the right. None of those caveats will take away from this being a 5 star board though. I love the feel and sound of it, and the fact that its both BT and 2.4ghz makes me very happy. With the dongle you can actually game with this board while wireless, so now my entire desk can be (wireless mouse and headset as well). If youre in the market for a wireless board, this is a good grab.

This keyboard is amazing. I use this for work everyday and it doesnt lag at all, it a really nice keyboard. No complaints at all.

The keyboard is a little small without a 9-key on the side but it feels great while typing on it. If you use the number pad a lot, this isnt for you but if it isnt something you need it isnt a problem. Larger hands might find the keys close together but I dont have any problems with it and I wear a large size in womens gloves. I havent needed to swap out any keys so I havent tried that part.

I 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.

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.

This is my second Royal Kludge keyboard, and I must say Im very impressed with the brand. My main use case for this is as a portable keyboard for the Steam Deck and other mobile devices, and in that it excels. Pros: - Compact but easy to use. I thought Id miss having dedicated keys for arrows, pagedown, etc., but at least for my use case they werent too necessary. - LED lighting is decent, and the different colored keycaps make it easy to see which keys youre hitting from the corner of your eye. - Excellent USB ports and nice to have Bluetooth + 2.4GHz connection options. - Keys and mechanical SkyCyan switches feel and sound great, except... Cons: - If theres one thing I didnt like, the spacebar is a little loud and hollow-sounding when you press it. Not a big deal, and it could be adjusted by modding! Overall, its a very solid 60% keyboard that works well and feels great to use. Im not expecting to get into keyboard modding much, but it seems friendly towards customization if thats your thing. If you want something still compact, but slightly larger (by an extra row of keys), Id also recommend checking out Royal Kludges RK68 line of keyboards for comparison.

For $75 this keyboard is a great beginner board for people looking to get into the custom keyboard hobby! The board is super easy to disassemble, it comes with a key cap/switch puller and it even has foam already placed in the bottom of the case so it sounds pretty decent out of the box. The stabilizers are decently lubed as well. A mod I would recommend for this board is the tape mod (put masking tape on the back of the pcb, I did 2 layers) and it will start sounding really nice. I havent lubed my switches yet and Im not sure if they are pre-lubed but with just the pcb mod the sound of this board went from a maybe a 6.5 to a solid 7.5, especially with the spacebar and backspace key, they sound extra thocky. Overall the skycyan switches are also really smooth and responsive, I tested them out by playing apex legends and they felt great! Just keep in mind that the LEDs on this board are north facing so cherry profile keycaps are not recommended.

If this was a full-size keyboard, I would say this is the best keyboard I have ever used and felt. The keypresses feel very nice and professional. The cushion added makes the keys feel perfect. The supports in the Enter and Backspace spaces feel amazing. You will be impressed with this keyboard and the keys. This keyboard does not have arrow keys by default. Note this first if you plan to get this keyboard. There are modes you can turn on, and one mode you can turn on is to use specific keys as the arrow keys, but you will then have to switch the mode (FN -> Enter) every time you want to use the / character. The RGB modes are nice to use. I have tested Bluetooth and a MacBook Pro M1 and it worked with no issues. I tested the USB port with the USB memory stick and the computer saw the memory stick. I used Bluetooth wireless and it worked on battery power. The keys feel like Cherry MX Brown. They are pretty quiet keys. It will not be a keyboard that people will complain is lound. The cushion helps disapate most of the sound. The key pressing force is just enough. It is not a super sensitive key, so I would not use it for gaming. But for typing and programming it would be a great keyboard. Pros: - Keys pressing - USB Memory stick option - Bluetooth - Rechargeable batteries - RGB - All keys are visible without RGB. Cons: - I wish it had the arrow and PageUp, ... keys - Wish it came with a coiled USB cable Overall I like this keyboard a lot. I will probably use this as my traveling keyboard since I have to travel a lot. If it had the arrow keys and PageUp,... section, I would make this my daily keyboard. I will look to see if they make a similar keyboard that is bigger. If you are looking for a new keyboard that small, this is probably one of the best keyboards you can get.
