RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wired 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact Hot-Swappable Red Switch White

I’ve had this keyboard for about 2 years and it still works great! I have it plugged into my pc now and is my main keyboard. Good budget gaming keyboard! And it comes with a key cap puller, switch puller, and extra switches.

im not really a fan of how u have to get to certain buttons but then again, its only 60% of a normal keyboard. Another problem i had was downloading the software. other then that, its great

I bought this keyboard because I wanted to get into custom keyboards and if you are think about buying this keyboard, its great! All the bad reviews are just people who got unlucky and their keyboard came faulty. For a mostly plastic keyboard the build quality is great, no flex, and the case and keycaps are made out of sturdy plastic. The only thing is the keycaps are made out of abs meaning that the paint on the keycaps will wear out of time but thats not a problem if your going to be upgrading your keycaps as most upgrade sets are PBT which have lettering that is the keycap itself and has no paint. Other things to mention about this keyboard includes a hot-swap PCB, the keyboard comes with a keycap puller and a switch puller and yes, it does support 5 pin switches. The RGB on this keyboard is pretty bright and has nice effects. If you are wondering about how the stabilizers come stock they are lubricated very well and was little rattle considering $50. Overall this is a great keyboard.

For the price it’s absolutely the best mechanical keyboard you can get. The best part is that it’s hot swappable so you can change the switches. The keyboard can be transformed from a budget board to a premium board by swapping the switches, keycaps, and modding it. By itself it’s still probably the best board within this price range. It’s good enough that it doesn’t feel cheap or like a toy.

Snagged this keyboard for $45 on Cyber Monday. I didnt need the bluetooth version, so this was a great item to buy at the time. I have had some connectivity issues, but I think it is due to my mobo usb panel. Since switching the usb to my PC case ones, I havent experienced any issues since. I am a college student, who sometimes games, and the difference from switching from a cheap membrane off-brand gaming keyboard is INSANE. Love the feeling of the switches and keys. But of course, I will need to get used to it. I am thinking of modding this board in the future. So far, I have been enjoying it and I think it is a great keyboard.

Muy buena calidad del material, ya cumplo 2 años con el teclado y hasta ahora sigue como nuevo!

Edit: So shortly after my review they reached out to me offering me a replacement keyboard and a bunch of help they didnt even have to do and it was extremely appreciated. Their customer support is on point! The more time I spend with the RK61 the more I enjoy it. The software issues have gone away and the keyboard works flawlessly. Ive also updated the review with pictures. Im using Akko Crystal Clear switches which make the RGB brighter and it looks perfect, these switches have a bit more thock than the brown switches I chose for the RK61. The stock brown switches do sound great too. I plan on getting blank keycaps, a custom spacebar and call it the day. People ask how I type so fast, I just say its because Im using the RK61 and it feels amazing to type with. So I was extremely displeased with this purchase when I originally received the RK61 which Ill explain in this review. After a few more days with this keyboard, it has actually grown on me. Ill separate this review in 2 sections, pros and cons. Pros: R61 is a great beginner keyboard for those getting into mechanical keyboards such as myself due to its mod potential and price. I purchased the version with brown tactile switches which I eventually swapped out to the akko crystal clear tactile 5 pin switches (makes the RGB appear brighter too). The original switches and keycaps feel amazing stock and sound fantastic. The board itself doesnt feel too heavy nor too light but just sturdy enough for its size that gives it a great satisfying feel. 60% leaves a lot of space on my desk which I need for gaming and also allows me enough space to get a regular sized keyboard if I ever choose to for my set up. I do plan on doing more mods later down the line such as bandaid mod, lubing, styrofoam, etc. when I feel more comfortable approaching those mods. Cons: The worst part of this keyboard is the software. The software actually doesnt work at all and shows a no matching device found with no fix. There are You Tube videos that provide links to different softwares that work with the RK61 {which do feel sketchy} but work nonetheless. Another big drawback are they fn functions short cuts. For example it took me a couple hours to realize that I have to use the right shift to type the ? which is extremely counter intuitive. The delete function requires pressing 3 separate keys which is also counter intuitive and there isnt any way to change this in the softwares Ive mentioned in this segment. The last huge drawback for me is that sometimes when I start my PC and start doing what ever Im doing, I notice the keyboard isnt working properly or is glitched out where the keys arent activating or the secondary keys are activating without me pressing fn or shift. The only fix for this is to reset they keyboard by pressing and holding fn + spacebar for 5 seconds. All of this information I had to research myself.. Lastly, the RGB lights arent bright at all but changing to the akko crystal clear switches, made the RGB appear more brighter. I may or may not swap to pudding keycaps to make the RK61 brighter. For $40 (sale and $4 coupon) this couldve been slightly better in terms of quality, especially for how much YouTubers hype up this keyboard. However after giving this keyboard a chance Ive started enjoying the RK61. I do suggest trying out some mods for the RK61 and there are ways to make the RGB brighter if that is a deciding factor for you. Im rating this 3 stars because the hardware and price is great but the software and glitches definitely bring down the quality of the RK61.

I love the fact that it is so easy to modify, and customize. It is the perfect starting keyboard for someone who wants to customize it.

This products is a Chinese created product, finding the software in English is a pain. The keyboard is great, I had a defective key on my first go around with this product which was refunded asap. This keyboard is a great minimalistic solution for gaming. Also has the option to be modded fairly easy!

Bought for my son. He loves it, and it looks pretty cool from what I can see.. goes well with his light up mouse, desk, and led lit room.
