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 keyboard sounds and feels good. Built quality is solid. Many backlighting presets. Sometimes the Bluetooth takes a bit to connect, but its a relatively minor issue for the price and overall quality. I had an issue with some keys not working (dont think it was a fault of the product, just a bug), and customer support was very good and responsive. They helped me troubleshoot pretty extensively and we were ultimately able to solve the issue.

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

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.

For unexpected layout change, you need to press FN + left CTRL to go back to the default settings.

So I didnt realize when I bought this one that it is blue light LEDs only. Which is fine. I went with blue clicky switches and they are kind of meh. Havent taken the time to lube them but the space bar sounds incredibly hollow and different compared to the rest of the keys, you can really tell when the space is being pressed. I had to use the cable it came with to get my computer to auto-download the drivers. After that it worked with my Glorious coiled cable. Mine is a USB-C all though the ad does still show micro usb in their photos. The RK software does absolutely nothing for me, neither does the firmware download. Its a pain to get it to even download and when it does open it just shows a keyboard with absolutely no options to choose from or anything.. it literally does nothing. Also the shortcuts like (FN+||) and what not for changing to the 17 lighting modes does nothing, neither does the shortcut for brightness. So I am stuck with a mediocre lit blue LEDs with no customization. Overall the keyboard looks nice and itll be probably more of a piece of my display than using it. Would change out the clicky keys, they are a bit much.. Pros are it is cheap, looks decent, can take 3 or 5 pin switches and is hot swappable. I think it could use some new stabilizers though. Overall not horrible but their software and customization is non-exsistent.

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.

I have a problem with having to buy smaller gadgets to be able to fit everything on my desk. This is very good quality. Wonderful sounding blue switches. Tons of options for the light patterns and plenty of easy shortcuts to use for it having less physical keys. I was hesitant to use the Bluetooth at first thinking it would have a little more lag than the USB key but I cant feel a difference between the two. Absolutely love this little keyboard.

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.

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.

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
