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)

The main thing that gets me with this keyboard is that they decided to overlay the arrow keys on some rather important keys. Main one for me is (ARROW UP) and (/?) are the same key. If you do any text-heavy operations like programming youll have to train yourself to use the (fn) key in order to either arrow around in the text or to use (/?). Its forgivable for everyday use, and maybe gamers can remap their keys and make this thing work, but Ill have to find something else for writing code. I do like the way this keyboard feels though. I want it to be my main keyboard for my tablet but the arrow key situation drives me nuts.

Bought this and it initially became very slow after a few weeks. However, customer services reached out, sent me a new one, and it is great! The keys are responsive, and the board is very sturdy overall. I am very impressed. Plus customer service was great if you have any issues. It was a great buy! I recommend handing on to the manual, if you accidentally switch modes, you will be confused why keys arent behaving like youd expect, just hold Fn + Space and it will reset. Great keyboard!

I use this keyboard at my gaming table, for the occasion when I need to type when leading my gaming group. They keyboard is responsive and solid, and I cant see me using a different one.

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.

This was my first mechanical keyboard, and the typing was very satisfying (I purchased the red switches). However, I often use keyboard shortcuts, and this keyboard is inconvenient for some shortcuts. For example, Ctrl + RightArrow is hard to use, since I need to press LeftCtrl + Fn + RightCtrl, but then this mistakenly switches the keyboard mode! Fn + LeftCtrl will turn 1-9 into F1-F9. It may also be confusing for some people if they accidentaly change the keyboard mode. I tried to use the m key and it didnt work until I realized it was acting as the End key because I accidentaly switched the mode. There are 3 modes for the Fn keys, 2 modes for the arrow keys, and 2 modes for Windows/Apple.

This keyboard isnt the best there is. It isnt the greatest thing you will touch. However it is one of the best keyboards in this price range. I dont like playing video games, and am not a fan of rgb, so I turned down the brightness of the lights on the keyboard and it works great. I like the feel of the red switches, but it is a little louder than I expected. The function commands are a little confusing and understanding the User Manual is a chore, but once you get past it, the experience of using the keyboard is phenomenal. The Bluetooth feature is extremely useful especially for people who dont like clutter. I personally didnt find any problems with Bluetooth connection

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.

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 This keyboard is wireless, bluetooth, mechanical, has great build quality, and works with up to 3 devices. The ONLY detractor i found was that the arrow keys did double duty. Since i dont regularly use the arrow keys this was an issue for me as one of the keys was the / key that i use for programming and such. The user pamphlet shows how to lock these keys. if you are a programmer that is mouse specific then green light and buy. if you use arrow keys you might want to buy a different keyboard. I am completely happy with this keyboard now that i found it. WORD-OF-ADVICE: Keep the pamphlet that comes with it. You will need to refer back to it for sure. This keyboard is great. The feel of typing is amazing. The lack of a number pad is an annoyance i knew going in to the purchase. I was looking for bluetooth not RF or other wireless method so went for it. Once think i was not aware of at the time of purchase is the / key needs to have the Fn key pressed as well otherwise it is a number key. This is a deal breaker of me as i needed this in order to type programs and other technical documents. Buyer beware if you fall into this demographic as well. I am trying to see if there is a way i can disable the number keys and use them as their functions only. As of yet i have been unsuccessful. If i am able to lock these keys, then i can recommend for programmers.

I love this keyboard. I’ve only charged it twice since I’ve purchased it (About 3 months), and you can change the lighting. I thought you could change the color of the lights but I don’t think you are able to. I’m planning on buying new switches, I didn’t know the difference in blue or red so I chose the blue switches when I ordered this (Please don’t unless you actually like the sound). The only real issue is that the keys stick sometimes. This might be on my part; my boyfriend plays games and types on it yet he hasn’t experienced any issues, this might be because he types extremely fast whereas I don’t.
