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)

Just ok.

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 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.

The keyboard is great for the price there are some better options out there but for a wireless and hot swappable keyboard its fantastic. You can mod it or customize it if you would like.

hi i bought this keyboard couple days ago and idk why the usb bluetooth mode won’t work can someone help

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.

The led was suprisingly bright and the keyboard it’s self was smaller than I expected one thing tho I don’t think it’s hot swappable the switch does not come off but so far so good

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.

The mechanical keys feel was ok, they do wobble. The weight of the unit was quite surprising (on the heavy side for such a form factor, defeats purpose of small compact and mobile design), the lighting on this keyboard is not bad. First thing I noticed is that while taking out of package; mine had a key come off, just from brushing from the packaging bag, so I placed it back thinking well maybe it was not on the keyboard that well to start. Then I tried with my finger just applying resistance to the ones on the outside of the keyboard and some would come off pretty easy. So I went to try same thing on my Corsair keyboard and that was not the case, I know I had a few mechanical keyboards and did not have issue, in fact it took quite the effort to try to take off keys, as it should be. I tried to test it out with this, but I could not as the deal breaker for me was the wobbly keys and the fact that I noticed that there is no dedicated DEL key, and for what I was going to use it for I use that heavily. Having to do FN + backspace all the time was not going to work. I had some other cheap mechanical keyboards and the keys did not come off that easy. I feel like they will become worse with each key that comes off and I place back, to the point of losing or them not staying on at all. Maybe it was just mine? I returned this unit.

It’s a really good keyboard, you’re able to change key caps and switches would recommend. I keep mine plugged in, but Bluetooth works good
