> 24 hourKeyboard arrived within 24 hrs! I bought this for my teen’s online schooling & as a wireless keyboard for the M1 Mac Mini. The key board is noisy (reminds me of the old key boards in the 1990s) but my teen actually loves the clicking noises as they type and use the keyboard. They also like how you can easily customize the LED light features of keyboard. With teens using the keyboard, I expect a lot of pounding and wear & tear, which is why the allure of a gaming keyboard appealed to me. I figured if it was good enough for gaming it should hold up under the use of high school students :) Battery charge has held up with daily online school use (it has been about a week so far w/o needing to charge it)... Awesome value! Would definitely purchase again.

> 24 hourI bought this specifically for Undertale and Deltarune and the keyboard arrow keys are good for it. I was able to beat sans and Jevil twice and the keyboard was very responsive. Eh good purchase and I can use it for other things so yeah good purchase overall. I bought it with blue keys and I didnt care about the type of keys. I was worried at first so I fired up Badtimesimulator and was able to beat sans successfully with blue keys. I also had custom my keyboard with a purchase I made a while ago of a one hand keyboard. It was a red dragon one hand keyboard and it looked good for the results. Easy to remove and customize keys and key types. The key caps and key buttons were easy to remove and cause no frustration. Good keyboard will use it for other uses.

> 24 hourI have a problem with having to buy smaller gadgets to be able to fit everything on my desk. This is very good quality. Wonderful sounding blue switches. Tons of options for the light patterns and plenty of easy shortcuts to use for it having less physical keys. I was hesitant to use the Bluetooth at first thinking it would have a little more lag than the USB key but I cant feel a difference between the two. Absolutely love this little keyboard.

> 24 hourI bought the red version. very comfortable. no complaints the setting does take a bit of time, and unfortunately they didnt do a good job of documenting it. but Hey, Google is your friend. a quick Google Search solves most. of your problems. note that with different version, swapping between the arrow mode takes different methods. on mine (2020 July shipped) , its Fn+Enter (written in the little manual), where someone on amazon review reported other methods for possibly an earlier version. what really drove me nuts is the design for the question mark /?. I used Fn+ENTER to switch it off arrow mode. apparently the left arrow becomes OPT , not ALT as is printed on the caps. right arrow is correctly control. I dont use two. so its more convenient for me to keep the arrows in arrow mode. but that leaves the /? a thorny issue. in fact even in arrow mode, if you press shift+/ , the keyboard does send out ? hard keycode to computer. the only issue is /. at last I just let the keyboard send out up arrow, and in Mac, I used Karabiner to attach a custom rule for this RK61 so I convert up arrow to /. Then where do I get my up arrow? I created a complex rule to map Fn+O to up arrow. luckily there are many letter keys not yet mapped to functions. ----- on my Magic Keyboard I map the left Fn+hjkl to arrows, but unfortunately Fn+hjkl on RK61 have been implemented to send out hard electric signals for END/HOME etc to Mac, but Mac simply does not recognize these, so its a waste

> 24 hourVery happy with this. Nice lighting effects, not 100% quality blue keys (compared to my razer blue keys on a different board) but still definitely feel likes blues. Mine has a little bit of key wobble, but it was only $40 so thats normal, and I expect that from cheaper hotswappables. I get a few days out of the wireless, no complaints there. I wouldnt use for gaming personally because I use macros and F keys, but thats a criticism of 60% not this specific board. I use this for portable typing for work home/in the office and I love it. I can fit this in a small bag and I can type for a day without even bringing the cable. Nice!

> 24 hourThe keys are really close together. If this was more staggered or tiered, it would have been a great competitor for gaming. As it is, I was constantly hitting multiple keys.

> 24 hourThis keyboard is great for typing, looks great, and, if just a couple issues were fixed I would highly recommend it. First, the bluetooth. The range is only 4.5 feet (yes, I measured). This largely defeats the point of a bluetooth keyboard - I would just get a wired one at these distances so I dont have to deal with a battery, or, God forbid, you go 5 feet away. The second is the lack of programmability/the weird predefined programming settings. Basically, there are three toggles - one that toggles about 15 keys to do their primary or secondary or tertiary functionality, one that toggles your alt/menu/ctrl// key or arrow keys, and one that toggles Windows/Mac modes. The Windows/Mac toggle is fine, but the other ones are horrendous. - The toggle button is fn-left ctrl. The issue, I frequently run into is that it is triggered inadvertently when I have to use shortcuts (e.g. left ctrl, left alt, up key [which is fn + /]) - you can see that that key combo triggers the program change. - I want some of the keys that are in one set, and some that are in another. Most notably, I want my numbers to be numbers, and my esc key to be `/~, but these are unable to be on together, either I get esc+numbers, or `/~+fn keys. Those are not the combos I want. - There are some keys I never use (looking at you caps lock) that I wish I could switch to something else (e.g., caps lock becomes esc, and esc permanently stays `/~). All of these issues could be solved via the keys being programmable. Alas, they are not. This keyboard has great typing capability that could be improved immensely with a BT upgrade and better programming.

> 24 hourI probably wouldve preferred there 60 pro with RGB lights and aluminum chassis, this was my first time trying a 60% keyboard and it is tiny! Some keys are annoying to access because they can be 4 different things depending on what key combo you hold but this can be fixed by remapping your keys in the royal kludge software. You WILL need to do this. Otherwise you are going to have to try 4 button combos to get a ? or a 2. After you get this little piece of customization out of the way though its a great little board and would be perfect for travelling or for a bed desk

> 24 hourupdate (2020.4) : I am not changing 4 star rating but I could fix the issue by myself. so here is few tips for the users suffering similar issue. The popping key cap could be fixed using adhesive residue that I could scrap from tape. I could use a glue but at the time I didnt have it. and it could smear into switch mechanism to ruin the switch. This little amount of adhesive scraped from tape worked perfectly and safely. And another tip for Mac users. hard to type due to complicated combination of keys to type ? could be solved through letter replacement under keyboard setting in Mac OS. I personally have set two exclamation mark to be replaced to question mark. I hope this helps. this keyboard is a joy to use and joy to hear. It was little challenging to figure out short cuts at first. But once it’s done, this keyboard has become one of my favorite keyboard of all time. It just has perfect combination of everything. Size, quality, wireless and price. I didn’t even expect this keyboard to be this good. 4 stars : Im adjusting minus 1 star from previous 5 star rating. some key caps pop out if I type really fast. Im thinking about putting some glue to those key caps to switches. Other than that its OK 3 stars : I have been using this keyboard as a 2nd keyboard. so the mileage wasnt too long. but one of the key is not working now. Im sad that this keyboard couldnt keep up with real use.
