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)

COVID has me working in my small home office. I have my work MacBook, my Windows Laptop, and my old iMac all jammed onto a small desktop. Wanting to clean up my desk, I was looking for a Bluetooth keyboard that would work with all three. Which brought me to this small, wireless keyboard with the ability to pair with three machines. Heres the good news, this is a well-made keyboard. Its fast. If you have the ability to type very fast, the switches on this keyboard have strong tactile feedback that allows you to actuate each key without fully depressing the key. If you arent a touch typist, this probably isnt the keyboard for you. If you are a touch typist, you have three key combos that you will need to learn, or the benefits of this keyboard miss you entirely. This is a noisy keyboard, for a reason. If you are a touch typist, you may like the audible click each keypress makes. This is, however, not a friendly keyboard for use in a shared workspace. This is a small keyboard, but it has full-sized keys. This is great if you are a touch typist with a small, private, workspace. It does require some tradeoffs. In order to make the keyboard small, but retain full-sized keys, there are fewer keys than a standard 101 keyboard, this machine has multiple functions or layers for many of the keys. This keyboard has full-sized arrow keys that occupy one layer. Press Fn+Enter and that layer is disabled and now the up arrow becomes the /? key. Left arrow becomes the right Alt key and the Right arrow becomes the right CTRL-key. (Im not sure what the down arrow becomes.) Tada! In my case, I also need to flip the functions of the keyboard from windows to Mac. To do that, I hit Fn+A or Fn+S Then I have access to all the windows or Apple functions. I can use Fn Q to switch to my work laptop, Fn W to switch to my windows laptop and Fn E to switch to my old iMac. Kudos to this keyboard for having EXCELLENT Bluetooth management and excellent power management. It reliably stays connected to the machine I want it connected. It reliably switches on command. It reliably reconnects after it has gone to sleep. In this regard, it is even better than my old Apple wireless keyboard. Finally, the top row of keys acts both as your regular numeral row and your Function keys. To toggle that layer, I hit Fn+Ctrl to flip back and forth. Admittedly, Remembering these three key combos takes a little getting used to. The instructions are sparse, but they exist, and the keyboard functions as advertised. This is a loud, clicky keyboard. I kinda like it, though I have to close my office door or my wife will comment on the noise. The keyboard has survived its first week of use on one charge, so that seems acceptable. It charges through its included USB cable. The battery is permanent and not hot-swappable. The key switches are permanently soldered in, so they arent swappable either. The keycaps are swappable, and I may just buy a new keycap for the WIN button. Oh, it has amber lights. I have the black version of this keyboard and they look nice, though I dont really need all the wavy patterns. The layers thing doesnt bother me too much, but it is hard to get used to my wife laughing whenever I type. _____ Ive spent a bit more time with this keyboard and Ive added a start. It was easy for me to add the Fn+Enter to toggle the arrow keys and Fn+Ctrl to toggle the function keys. Im super happy with the ability to switch between three devices on demand. This really is a great keyboard for the money, and the seller did a great job getting the keyboard shipped promptly. They even sent a personal follow up email to ensure everything went well and that all my questions were answered.

It’s nice to be back on a mechanical keyboard, and this one in particular is very pleasant to type on. It offers good feedback on the presses, a satisfyingly loud sound, it’s not too cramped despite its small size, has a sturdy weight that keeps it anchored on the desk, and at least the white version with its blue backlighting is quite pretty. I have been using it for only a couple of days and I have found, in reference to preceding reviews, that its main problem is not the question mark, which can be toggled on easily enough by holding down FN, then pressing Shift (does not work if you press both at the same time), but the arrow keys, which are (and stay) toggled off when that happens, and the parentheses, which require a very awkward three-key move, FN-Left Shift-F9. So I would keep the question mark toggled off, then hit these keys together when you need it: FN-Left Shift-Question Mark. The hyphen also is awkward, requiring you to hold down FN, then reach across with your left hand to hit the f11 key, unless you’re more digitally acrobatic than me and can easily press the FN key with you right thumb and reach up with right middle finger. And the position of the FN key is also not the best: it should be on the other side of the board; I often hit it when I mean to hit the right arrow. Other notes: I have not found the keyboard falling asleep to be much a problem. Could be that the manufacturer has addressed this particular flaw. For Mac users, it is the Windows key that stands in place of the command key, not the Control key. Not sure if there is any use for the Control key with the Mac. And, in addition to the back-delete, which is where it should be, FN-n is the forward-delete. But the numbers are also a bit awkward; they are part of the function keys and require a simultaneous press of the FN key. None of the shortcomings have been dealbreakers for me, however. This is a wonderful mechanical keyboard. I doubt you can get better for the price, especially not with Bluetooth capability.

The keyboard comes with replacements if it is ever broken, a manual, and a keycap remover if you ever want to switch them out for cute ones. Omg this is the cutest keyboard ever. Its so small, so click-e, and it has a beautiful blue color. Im very happy with this product and cant wait to study using this keyboard. Im also very happy that I can still type with my stileto acrylics and Im very happy that all the keys are reachable (as in all the keys are close so I dont have to reach far for any keys.) I definitely recommend the royal kludge keyboard :). P.S. Ive been typing this message with it and it is lovely :)

This is a cool keyboard for this money! Small in size, mechanical and nice look. The complicated part is few things (typing / and ? damn hard) and there are wired configuration change unless you are aware of it. Based on its usage, FN key should have been placed on the left The battery life rating is not useful -- just started to use it. Remember few things -- very important! * There are key sequences that changes keyboard behavior -- so beware when you type wrong * Shift-tab switches wired vs bluetooth mode. Wait for this to fully charge to stop seeing wired behavior. * Fn-P enable bluetooth pairing but only after charged to some extent. * key sequence is important -- not just the simultaneous press. Typing Shift-FN-? will input question mark but FN-RightShift will toggle the FN press mode! Beware what you press first! * Try combo of control, function, shift, alt -- they change the settings. May be user number keys will become function key by default and number key via FN. So if you happen to make this mistake while typing, you will enter wrong thing. * There is no CAPS lock indicator light. * For mac, enable the on-screen keyboard display so that you see what you press. Dont know how to enable the lock button updates: I had been using this keyboard for years now. Compared to a recently purchased one which does not have the /? typing issue and random function key pressed weird reprogramming -- this one is really grrreeaaatt one. No mechanical or connection issue as such.

I was skeptical about this purchase due to being unfamiliar with the company, but I’ve been very pleased with this product so far. It has a comfortable feel and has been easy to adjust to switching from another keyboard, having 3 different options to choose from when connecting it to whatever device you’re using is a really cool feature too. I have been primarily using it for my PS5 but have used it for my desktop as well and have no complaints for either. Would definitely recommend.

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’m typing my review on this keyboard. I got the white one with the blue switches (I think they are Kailh Blues) and I’m pretty impressed with this keyboard for the price. Many of the reviews on this products complain about the weird placement of the arrow keys and combined functions of other keys, but in reality that the nature of most 60% keyboards. The wireless connection is solid, although using it without a cord for gaming introduces a good amount of input lag (blues are crap for gaming anyway). There seems to be an older version and an updated one, the updated one has some more ergonomic key combos to activate certain functions, and also have a USB-C cable, which is much preferable to a micro USB. Make sure you guys look at the manual and keep it in case you cant remember some of the unmarked key presses, such as ctrl + enter to disable the arrow keys. Typing on this keyboard is very satisfying, with a nice click and feedback every time you press a key. The keys are well spaced, and they each have enough heft so they can’t be pressed by accident. Someone with larger hands shouldn’t have much trouble using this to type. Also due to its size it is pretty easy to carry around in bag if you are trying to use it as a portable keyboard. I also like the fact that you can pair it to 3 separate devices at once and switch between them very easily. The backlighting is pretty great, especially when typing in the dark. All the other lighting mode other than the standard one are a little too flashy though. I usually just turn it off to save battery, which has been pretty good so far. I’m also using this on a iPad and it paired really easily and has had 0 problems with it so far. Make sure to switch to Mac mode from the Windows mode or vice versa. (Ctrl + A or ctrl + S) The downsides of this keyboard are the key legend which is a little cheesy, as well as how loud it is (that’s the nature of all blue switches though). Also if you listen closely beyond the loud clicking of the keys, there is some metallic pinging that can be heard. It isnt the greatest sounding thing in the world, but is mostly drowned out by the clickiness of the keys. Overall this is a great and rather discrete looking keyboard that is great value. Hopefully reliability is good, will update if anything happens to it. Buy this if you are considering it. EDIT: They are Outemu blues

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

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 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.
