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)

It is a good keyboard but after a year or so they will stop working. I bought 2 and it happened to both. its a software/firmware issue. if you want a long lasting keyboard go namebrand with regular driver updates. theres also virtually no customer support

the keyboard design is very much flawed, with certain commonly used keys combined within one key, say /, ?, and upper arrow, you have to constantly use shift and function keys to get the intended keys. I understand this is a compact keyboard, but to combine three commonly used keys under one just doesnt work. Could be a great keyboard, but now it is just so hard to use.

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.

Hey, keyboard nerd here. Ive been around the hobby for a while but I got one of these to use as a beater/travel board. This version of the board seems to be a newer version that was introduced this year (or maybe in 2021). Most reviews you can find online of the older one, but the main differences are switch compatibility and the 2.4ghz receiver. The current version that I have is fully hot swap compatible. I dont think it was made clear enough, and I think the fact that this amazon page includes the reviews for the old version is confusing. The old version is only compatible with Outemu style switches with the smaller stems. This version, to my surprise, worked fine with Gateron reds and other standard switches. I looked through the listing again and there was an indication in one of the *pictures* of all things that the keyboard switches are almost fully hot swappable. All of the online reviews for this keyboard are for the older version and indicated that it only supports Outemu style switches, which is no longer the case. Switch and keycap quality are okay. Theyre definitely fine for the price but the switches do have a bit of wobble to them. The texture on the keycaps is fine. They probably wont last forever but they seem like theyll survive at least a few years. The 2.4ghz performance is pretty good, which is to say its pretty standard for a 2.4ghz wireless receiver at this price point. The latency is noticeably better than bluetooth. That said, wired performance is noticeably better than 2.4ghz to me. I still think the 2.4ghz receiver is plenty good for casual games and way better than bluetooth, but if you want to be a sweaty fps gamer, Id stick to playing wired. I obviously didnt buy this keyboard for gaming, but for reference I tested it on cod mw2 (2022) running on performance mode at 240hz, with my usual keyboard being a rog falchion. Compared to that keyboard, the rk61s 2.4ghz mode had a pretty noticeable delay for me, but the wired mode was plenty good enough for fast-paced sweaty gaming. Also, the manual could use some improvements. Below Im adding a rundown of how the keyboard is mapped out, since I had to look some of it up and trial-and-error the rest. - fn + left control: toggles between 3 fnlock modes. 1)[fnlock for the function row (f1-f12) + fnlock for the nav cluster (prtscr, home, end, etc)] 2)[fnlock for only the function row] 3)[no fnlock at all] - to access the multimedia keys (volume up, play, stop, open browser, etc), you need to have the number row set to the function row (f1-f12) from the step above, then hold down fn and press one of the f1-f12 keys. that should activate the keys multimedia functions. - fn + enter: toggles fnlock for arrow key cluster in the bottom right corner. press it again to disable it - fn + a, fn + s: switches to windows or mac mode respectively. this just switches the function of the alt/opt and windows/cmd keys to their usual layouts on windows/mac - fn + windows key: locks the windows key and prevents it from being clicked, for gaming. press again to remove the lock - fn + esc: use the tilde key. hold shift during this to type a backtick Okay, I think that should be it. Everything else is reasonably explained in the manual or on the key legends themselves. Overall. I like this keyboard. Its good value for the money. Its fully hotswap now so you can upgrade to whatever switches you want later. Keycaps feel fine to me for the price. The 2.4ghz receiver works fine for the price and latency is fine. Bluetooth and wired modes work fine. Really my biggest gripe is that the manual doesnt properly explain how the keyboard is laid out well, which is pretty essential on any board smaller than 65%, which is why I docked a star. Still recommend the board, but I really hope the manual and documentation can get an improvement in the future.

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.

Had mine for about 2 years now and it works perfectly as if I got it yesterday. Clean it often and it’s a great $50 spent.

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

This keyboard is the most obnoxiously loud keyboard ive ever heard in my life - and I work in IT enough to tell you from experience what the normal noise range is (if thats even a thing). My husband bought this and he works all day on the phone as welm. Its the most obnoxious thing ever. Whenever we talk over the phone all i hear is clicking and clacking. Ill be in the next room over and ill still hear that thing. Hes had it for two years and hear I am telling you I have yet to get used to the noise level. (I could also never get used to this type of keyboard model but thats just me) Youve been warned people

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.

Keyboard is very nice. Got it as an inexpensive upgradable keyboard. I cant tell the sound of the keys as well as a keyboard hobbyist but to the untrained ear I think it makes a decently nice noise. LED backlighting is nice and smooth. Overall id recommend.
