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)

They claim that the product is hotswappable with other switches, so inherently I bought switches and a switch puller to switch them out. They didnt come up and upon reading a reply in the reviews they claim they arent hotswappable. Honestly obnoxious because Ive damaged some of the switches trying to pull.

I bought this for super cheap when they were doing a sale. The cool blue backlight is pleasing to the eye. The backlighting effects are neat but unnecessary in my opinion. The RK blue clicky switches are very similar to gateron blues: Not so loud that it annoys me to type on, just a satisfying tactile click. Its still to much noise for an office environment though. I have installed dampeners that prevent the keycaps from bottoming out so it makes even less noise, but its still more audible than say a cherry mx or gateron brown. I use this keyboard (almost) expressly for my cellphone for texting, social media, or whatnot. It stays plugged in most of the time to a charger. So I have to turn on the bluetooth which is quite easy. It also is connected to my iPad and PC; and switching between them is a simple FN+Q,FN+W,or FN+E. And that works much better and reliably faster than any bluetooth headphones Ive ever owned. I do have a couple of gripes: 1. It will only stay connected via bluetooth before disconnecting for one minute without touching a key. Then I have to hit a key to get it to reconnect. My SK61 board is closer to 5 mins and more preferable. I wish that was adjustable. 2. The switch to turn on the Blutooth is on the back. Kind of annoying when youre not used to it. I wish there was a hot-key combo that powers it on and off like other keyboards. 3. When switched on, it does NOT save the setting of having the arrow keys (ALT,MENU,CTRL, and ?) turned off. You have to turn it off to use a question mark for typing EVERY SINGLE TIME. This combo is (FN+enter). A minor, but noteworthy gripe. 4. The case and keycaps are CHEAP. The case looks like a piece of cheap plastic that does not belong on a decent mechanical keyboard, and will probably shatter if dropped. The keycaps are the same. Although the font is easy to read, and the shine-through is nice, it feels like youre typing on plastic wrap. I dont know if its the ABS material or not. But they kinda suck. So I had to swap those out. Otherwise, this is a decent keyboard and decent value

I bought this for 50 dollars for my gaming setup, I bought it in white with the linear red switches and then modded it. The modding process cost around another 70 dollars but that was to my preference. If you are a gamer I recommend buying this and then putting in some lighter switches or changing the looks if you want. If you are using this for work use then this stock should be more than enough for your standard. I have seen some people say that 60% just isnt the right layout for them so if this keyboard seems too small or foreign because of the compact size then I dont recommend buying it. If you dont think this is the right layout then I would recommend the TKL boards or the standard full-size layout. Overall if you are a gamer or someone who wants desk space then its a good buy.

Several keys stoped working after a few years. Its a good Keyboard but I hate to buy disposable things USB-C? √ Blue tooth and wired? √ Small mobile keyboard to take on the go? √ Nice typing feel? √ Extremely low cost for mid quality? √ Never found my self with out battery for my keyboard. √ Ive never owned a flashy back lit keyboard with lighting, I dont really care about this feature. Its kinda cool but distracting and kinda worthless. If you want better battery performance turn this off. The blue tooth quick switching between up to 3 devices does not work very well for iOS/iPadOS devices. Im not really sure what the problem is but it seams to work between desktop/laptop macs. My primary use for the keyboard is general writing which it works great for, and programing. For coding/programing using vim its great (because you dont need your arrow keys and you dont need a pointing device). However if you need to use an IDE and you need to maneuver around the code using arrow keys youll have to flip between arrow mode and /? mode. The up arrow key and the /? key are degenerate sharing the same physical key, and because your on the 60% format they want to conserve space. If you need to use arrows and /? interchangeably a lot, the switch is fast (left shift + Fn), but it might get annoying. Over all for the price its an amazing value. Obviously you can get higher quality keyboard, and maybe something that will last 20 years, but you got to pay those Benjamines.

UPDATE: Got the board replaced and it works perfectly now. Based on other reviews there might be a bad batch. This board is great and sounds nice, but I have been FIGHTING it to stay connected. I have to have it hardwired and the dongle plugged in and even then its spotty with registering keystrokes. Ive plugged, unplugged, tried bluetooth, etc and all that has happened is now specific keys do not work.

I 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.

I bought this keyboard for occasional use with my iPad mini. I wanted a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard that’s not too big and at a good price. Build Quality. It’s built much nicer than I expected (especially since I was going for a lower price point). I love the feel of mechanical keyboard, and i can type super fast with it. The weight of it, feels substantial giving it a quality feel. But not too heavy where I wouldn’t want to carry with me in my messenger bag to Starbucks. I’ve only had for 1 day, but I doesn’t seem like the keys will pop out easy and for no reason. Criticisms. The font choice used on the keys. I assume they are trying to appeal the ‘gamer’ market. It’s not ugly. Or that obtrusive. It’s not something I would go for if I had a choice. Definitely not a dealbreaker. Also, to pair the keyboard- you actually have to read the manual. There isn’t a separate tiny button that you would expect. You have hit fn+tab, then fn+p. Not that it’s hard, but i don’t know if it’s something i’d Remember or have the manual on me when i’m on the go. In short, this is probably the best bluetooth keyboard for under $50.

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.

General: This keyboard, for its price point, is a great deal. It does feel a little bit on the cheaper side, but I think that should be expected. Sound: It is a somewhat loud keyboard, but certainly not the loudest I have had for this price. Performance/Usage: This IS compatible with Linux systems, which I was happy to find out (since thats my main OS). Battery life is surprisingly long, definitely at least as long as the manufacturer states if not lasting even longer. The size is certainly something that needs adjustment for, it took me a couple of hours to be able to type efficiently but it took me a couple of days to figure out and memorize the odd key pairings that are somewhat necessary for reduced sized keyboards, such as holding the function key + shift + up arrow key to get a ? or the function key + the up arrow key to get a /, and other combinations for accessing common characters. I dont use the ? often since I code and it isnt a frequent use, but still it is there. The Bluetooth works perfectly, as well. I havent had any connection issues at all. Response time is pretty much indistinguishable between Bluetooth and wireless modes. The keyboard also has a TON of lighting options, which you dont always find for this price either. Overall: I definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone on a budget who wants a small wireless mechanical keyboard with great battery life. While it is small, it certainly is a respectable keyboard.

I bought this as a less expensive replacement for cherry MX switches, to play OSU the rhythm game. My old membrane keyboard doesnt hold well against crazy ZX hits and I decided to get something else. First impressIon: Pros: 1. keyboard feels sturdy. This feels heavier than my old Razer cynosa chroma. (60% keyboard vs a full keyboard) 2. backlighting is cool. 17 different patterns and you can adjust the brightness and speed. 3. I tried both the wired and wireless mode, doesnt feel any noticeable delay in key strokes when using wireless. (could be depending on your pcs Bluetooth function, tho) Cons: 1. SHIFT, CAPSLOCK, ENTER keys feels much softer and squishy than the other keys. 2. key delay: This is not an issue. Just for reference, certain lighting effects might impose a delay on the keystroke response time. Ill be adding reviews as I keep using this keyboard.
