RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wireless 60% Triple Mode BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C Mechanical Keyboard, 61 Keys Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard, Compact Gaming Keyboard with Software (Hot Swappable Red Switch, White)

I’ve been needing a new keyboard and was on the edge about this one but it is really nice. Changed the switches for personal preference with ease. Smooth keycaps and all. Good purchase.

Quick warning, I never used this in bluetooth mode so I dont know how well or poor that works. I have used this very a very limited amount in wireless mode, as I dont care about that sort of thing. It sometimes drops inputs in that mode, but thats because I have my xbox controller and headset that uses the band its on. YMMV. The simple fact is this: For 64 bucks, youre getting a hot-swappable 60% keyboard, with a metal backplate, that has adjustable lighting. Its a steal of a deal. Theres a few catches, though. 1: The lighting is flat. One color. In white, its sky blue-ish. In black, it appears to be yellow from other reviews. If you want RGB, buy the more expensive version. 2: A 60% is kind of difficult to buy new switches for because of the function layer. Unless youve memorized the layout, if you do decide to get better keycaps, you might be lost as to how the Fn+ layout of this keyboard works. Generally the F keys will always be the corresponding number, but if you need the arrow keys, or the pgup/pgdn/del/end/whatever youll need to find keycaps *specifically for this keyboard* to have the function layer be on the board. Theyre most likely out there but still. If thats going to be a deal-breaker for you, buy their TKL which just loses the side number pad. Its only slightly more expensive. Youll still need to deal with the lighting controls in that case but its much more likely youll just remember where those are. 3: The battery is non-removable. If, like me, you use this exclusively in wired mode...well, the spacebar will flash at you, every hour or so, telling you its fully charged. Its annoying but you learn to ignore it. 4: This board does something incredibly nifty thats ruined if you keep the lighting at full blast. When caps lock is on, it tells you by turning the light all the way up. See...the obvious problem here is that it should have dimmed the light instead of brighten it. You literally cant run the lights fully if you want that feature to work, so I dont...cause I do. No keyboard is going to be perfect. For the price, if you want a 60%, get it. If you want a 65%, buy that version. If you want a TKL, buy that version. Hot-swappable at these prices? No brainer.

I am updating my review because my last board that came was defective. The board would NOT connect wireless by any means. bluetooth or 2.4ghz. It only worked when plugged in. It would shut off and not turn back on at all in wireless. So far with the new board its working great. No issues at this time. My only issue is Charging. The company should of made it easier to keep an eye on it to see if its fully charged or not. You plug it in and it blinks 3 times that its charging and 5 times when its done. The only problem is there is no indicator or anything to tell you its charged and if you dont see the 5 blinks you will never know its charged at all. The keyboard should of had a solid light when charging then the lights turns off when charged or some way of telling you battery life. Other then the charging confusion its a solid keyboard

The keyboard is functionally great. But it was a little uncomfortable for me since it doesn’t have a wrist rest. The size was also too small to be comfortable. I ended up returning it and buying a different keyboard from the same manufacturer

The keyboard sounds and feels good. Built quality is solid. Many backlighting presets. Sometimes the Bluetooth takes a bit to connect, but its a relatively minor issue for the price and overall quality. I had an issue with some keys not working (dont think it was a fault of the product, just a bug), and customer support was very good and responsive. They helped me troubleshoot pretty extensively and we were ultimately able to solve the issue.

update (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.

I like this keyboard however my only issue is that I mess around with coding and if you go from doing that to using your arrow keys maybe this isnt the keyboard for you. I like it but honestly I wish I purchased a different one thats just a little bit bigger so certain keys dont overlap.

So I didnt realize when I bought this one that it is blue light LEDs only. Which is fine. I went with blue clicky switches and they are kind of meh. Havent taken the time to lube them but the space bar sounds incredibly hollow and different compared to the rest of the keys, you can really tell when the space is being pressed. I had to use the cable it came with to get my computer to auto-download the drivers. After that it worked with my Glorious coiled cable. Mine is a USB-C all though the ad does still show micro usb in their photos. The RK software does absolutely nothing for me, neither does the firmware download. Its a pain to get it to even download and when it does open it just shows a keyboard with absolutely no options to choose from or anything.. it literally does nothing. Also the shortcuts like (FN+||) and what not for changing to the 17 lighting modes does nothing, neither does the shortcut for brightness. So I am stuck with a mediocre lit blue LEDs with no customization. Overall the keyboard looks nice and itll be probably more of a piece of my display than using it. Would change out the clicky keys, they are a bit much.. Pros are it is cheap, looks decent, can take 3 or 5 pin switches and is hot swappable. I think it could use some new stabilizers though. Overall not horrible but their software and customization is non-exsistent.

Solidly made, INCREDIBLY good for the value that you are getting for it. BUT WAIT, Know this before you buy: So due to the small size of the keyboard, the arrow keys are just incorporated into other keys, and require a click of the fn button to activate the alternate options for those keys. No big deal. The PROBLEM is that this keyboard is programmed to have the arrow keys take precedent over the character that shares their key. Simply put - you are going to have to hold down not just the shift key, but ALSO the fn key in order to type a question mark (?). Now to me, this is the dumbest thing ever... I use the question mark quite frequently when typing on the computer, and not having it easily accessible to me frankly makes this keyboard unusable for most of the things that I hoped to use it for. I dont know if I can reprogram it or anything of that sort to stop the arrow keys from taking precedent, but I gave this a 4 star because it really is a good keyboard aside from that tiny flaw. Also, it may just be me being dumb that Im encountering this problem. There very well could be a workaround, but I havent found any way yet. So yeah. Bad access to the ? icon. Just keep that in mind.

Love the product, keyboard sounds and feels great. The only thing that is a negative is that the keyboard makes your choose between the question mark key and the arrow keys. Everything else is great.
