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 have two of these now. One with brown switches the other with red. The red is definitely a bit more clicky, but not by much. It also seems to require less effort than the brown. I have used both for typing as well as gaming with no issues. For now I have the red on my main Windows gaming rig and the brown on the Linux box. Have not had them long enough to attest to longevity, but they are great out of the box. I have also only used them wired, so I cannot speak to the Bluetooth aspect. The whole 60% size thing took a bit getting used to, but not a big deal. I just hit FN Ctrl to enable function keys in games that use them and then switch back for normal functions. I know the kids will bot like this, but all light blue is much better than RGB. Now if these guys would only make a matching mouse, I would be good to go. I prefer a smaller lighter mouse with scroll wheel with click than the larger, heavier gaming variety as I use a slightly tall wrist rest and a finger claw grip.

PRO * Very affordable 60% Mechanical Keyboard, especially given the Bluetooth connectivity. * OEM Keycaps are actually fairly thick in comparison to other mechanical keyboards in this price point. When measured with digital calipers the factory OEM keycaps were around 1.3mm. (EnjoyPBT or GMK keycaps are 1.4 and 1.5mm respectively). * Keyboard has fairly standard keycap sizes which makes switching to an aftermarket keyset easy and painless. * Surprisingly sturdy build especially given the price point. * On/Off toggle switch for the Bluetooth radio on the bottom of the keyboard. * LED indicator under spacebar for when keyboard is charging. CON * Bluetooth is Bluetooth version 3. However, for general typing use this shouldnt be an issue and wasnt an issue in any of my experience. However, if used for gaming you might want to play plugged in via USB to avoid any latency. * As I generally use fully programmable keyboards or keyboards such as the HHKB Professional BT where the Control key is where the Caps Lock key is placed, Id really like to be able to reprogram the keyboard layout via a desktop application or perhaps via an Android/iOS application such as what is present on the Anne Pro from Obins. This is also true of the arrow key placement as Id prefer to use HHKB style arrow clusters or at least vim arrow keys (hjkl). IMPROVEMENTS * Would like to see different switches offered such as Gateron Silents. * Perhaps switch to white LEDs as this would be more pleasing and would match with aftermarket keysets better. * See misc improvements or changes Id personally prefer to see throughout the review. MISC FEEDBACK * The model I am reviewing had a generic Cherry MX Blue switch in it. Normally, Im not one to use a clicky MX switch as I tend to prefer Cherry MX Silent Blacks (Linears) or Zealios (67g Tactile) or Topre style switches. * Personally, Id prefer to have paid $5 more to obtain this board with a different selection of switches (Gateron Silent Blacks for linears, maybe Silent Gateron Browns for Tactiles?) over the switches included. * When utilizing the LEDs the Caps Lock key is not turned on by default, unless caps lock is active. Id prefer to have all keys lit if LEDs are activated and when caps lock is turned ON to have the LED shine a different color via an RGB LED in this switch.

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 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.

This worked very well when connected to my XBoxs you can’t use this wireless you can only connect it to the XBoxs this works on many game but some you cannot use this keyboard with is GTA, Over Watch Apex Legends and more some you can use it on Mincarft, Fortnite,Call fo Duty Modern Warefare, Sea of Thieves, the sims 4 bomb crew and more also works on PS4 I don’t use the newest XBoxs I use a XBoxs I bought 6 years ago so any XBoxs works with keyboard and mouse. Hopefully this helps also if you have problems with this connecting to your XBoxs or PS4 you have 30 days to return it so instead of going through a hassle if it doesnt work just return it and buy a different one also the software isn’t working well so get the backlighting color you like before buying and if you want to buy new KeyCaps look for MX Cherry KeyCaps because those are the ones that fit this keyboard.

Keyboard is great. Love the feel and love the sound. Love the solid thonk when i type. Its a great portable keyboard and i am dissapointed they dont make a full size version of this. I know they make full size keyboards but its not the same as this one. Was skeptical about their own brand of red switches but they actually compare pretty well to cherrys. I dont really notice a difference. I just hope they last as long. The main issue is that the wireless is buggy. I cant type to fast because the computer wont pick up every letter or it will get stuck on one letter and repeatedly input thay character. The key isnt pressed. It just seems to be an issue with the wireless because it works fine when connected via usb. Both the bluetooth and the 2.4Ghz have the same issue so Im at a loss. I tried downloading some software from the website and its all in chinese, which really doesnt matter because the program crashes anytime i try to click on anything. Summary: Great keyboard to type on just as long as you dont need the software and dont need to use it wirelessly

I’ve used the Ducky One Two Mini before as it was my main before this, I wanted to try out some blue switches on a new keyboard without breaking the bank, as well as wanting the bluetooth feature. I love the white minimalistic case on this keyboard, as well as the simple keycaps. For a couple of days I would run bluetooth for random tasks, schoolwork etc., and use the wired connection for gaming and saw no errors. Bluetooth was simple enough to pair and paired automatically upon turning it on, however I feel as if it started lasting less and less time. My personal experience is that I would really only get maybe 2-3 hours out of what I thought was a full charge. Regardless, I ended up going back to wired with using a 180 usb c and routing it underneath the keyboard and under the desk to give it the same look. All in all for the price I think this product is worth it. I love the blue switches as well as the material of the stock keycaps much more than ones that come on razer and other higher end brands. This is the perfect entry keyboard, so long as you are not fully relying on the charge of the bluetooth comparability, I contemplated upgrading the battery, however decided I didn’t want to deal with the latency over bluetooth and would just return to wired.

I like it but sometimes the keyboard could be delayed or die very quickly but everything else its really great

I bought this keyboard around this time last year This is really nice keyboard it is still in great condition I have spilled water in it and got food all over it and I have put it through hell it is a really good one major thing I don’t like about it is the Bluetooth after a while it will disconnect and you may or may not struggle to reconnect it. Other than that the keyboard is great.
