18-11-2024Great product thats easy to use, definitely needs better switches and the rgb isnt as sharp or on point as some others at the price point.

> 3 dayBought as a Christmas gift for my son and he is happy! We thought the keys stopped working within 2 months which was disappointing at first but then discovered that if the keyboard stops working and you flick the button on the back of the board it resets! Worked for us so we are happy again!

> 3 dayConsidering the fact that his keyboard is meant for gaming, I think it does a pretty good job. I personally am not a gamer myself but I do a lot of typing; the keyboard feels nice and I love the color options. The few things that I noticed are that the keys are not high-quality and you can see that they came fresh off of an assembly line, as well as the cushion pads on the bottom of the keyboard are not the same height which makes the keyboard wobble as you’re typing— But you can just put a piece of paper or something underneath it to make it stable. Overall, I’m enjoying it so far and I will update as time goes by. **Update** I’ve been using this for a few days now. My big pet peeves are 1) the fact that the space key sounds different than the rest of the keys 2) the keyboard is SO SENSITIVE to even the slightest touch. I know I got the red keys, but this is a bit absurd. 3) the instruction manual is is broken English and very hard to understand.

> 3 dayI got the red switches in mine with white keycaps to really show off the RBG. The sound right off the bat was pretty good, I filled the keycaps with UV resin because I want the THOCK. Im also going to lube the switches and put foam in it as well but those mods will come about later. Now for the keyboard itself! Its honestly pretty great. It has a solid weight and the sound isnt too bad out of the box either. The switches feel nice but I feel like some lube will be pretty great for these tbh. I did have to replace one of the switches right away because it kept actuating even after I released it. There were four replacement switches included so it was really easy to just use the included tool to swap it out and that fixed the problem. its also pretty nice to type on in terms of height. Its at the right height for me so its been pretty easy to adjust to.

> 3 dayRK61 RGB Wireless: Black Ended up with brown switches after trying the red switch version. With the red switches I couldnt feel when the button was being depressed and I couldnt lightly rest my hand on the keys without accidentally pressing a key. Brown was perfect and what I was used to, with an ever so slight resistance prior to a smooth downstroke. Pros: -Bluetooth and wired works well and connected to any supported devices easily. -Keys arent bad at all. Relatively quiet and feel the same as my older Logitech board. -RGB has a bunch of options and the software allows for more customization. Cons: -2.4ghz wireless was dead on arrival, all troubleshooting options were exhausted with no success -Battery life wasnt amazing, but was fine for a day of gaming -Software was difficult to find and not amazingly designed (spelling errors) I couldnt figure out how to reprogram the default layers. If you wanted to reprogram the y key to something other than printscreen while fn is held, not do-able. It supports basic remaps of keys, function layers not included I guess. -RGB isnt the brightest and the white is kind of a cool white -61% is not a great format without decent software support. Third-party applications exist that allow better customization such as AutoHotkey (Windows only) but theyre only software based and cannot be added to the hardware so customization can be taken with you on the keyboard itself. If you dont care about customization of remaps and macros and dont mind the size format, get this, its great. If youre looking for a top of the line software and tons of customization and a great software, dont get this. I only use Windows and android and Ive utilized AutoHotkey to improve usability while on Windows. For the money its totally acceptable to me.

Greater than one weekWell built compact keyboard. From my short time using it so far (~1 week) I have noticed that some key strokes dont register when used wirelessly with my Windows laptop (BT or receiver). Doesnt appear to happen on my MacBook which is odd but Ive spent most of my time with this connected to my windows device. I had another wireless keyboard before this one which did not have this issue at all.

> 3 daySo on their original model which is the first picture Ive had for like 3 or 4 years now and for how cheap it was I loved it, now for the new models the second and third pictures which I purchased in the Pro Versión. The wireless, and The Wired versión are all the same Models which different features of course, the thing is I cant do what I do with the older models with the new models. The combination of Spacebar and N is what I use to super glide, I tried the same inputs on all three keyboards and nothing, I cannot replicate the movement that Im used to on apex with these new models. Other than that is a good keyboard I suppose

> 3 dayI did a lot of research before deciding on this keyboard as my first mechanical keyboard--I have already given it new keycaps to help my overall experience with the board. Its everything I wanted from a new one (though in the future I think I will upgrade from a 60% to a 65%), but my one complaint, and I do have to say its a big one for me, is the fact that this product is labeled as having a 2.4 Ghz connection (so it would use a small USB dongle to help connect wirelessly if you do not want to use a Bluetooth only connection). I was looking very forward to using that type of connection point, as it would allow me to stay wireless (which is a need for my current setup) while also maintaining a strong, lower latency connection to my laptop as compared to if I only used the Bluetooth function (considering the Bluetooth function here is not 5.0). While I will still use this keyboard with the Bluetooth function, it was a bit of a disappointment to not get a function that I assumed I was paying for. In the picture I took, you can see the outline of where the dongle would be for the 2.4 Ghz. What is most confusing is that I have seen other people have the dongle, and other people are not. It would be nice if they could keep that information updated properly in the name and product description. I also saw a lot of clashing information on if this board was hot swappable for further customization and modding--I can confirm that I have a hot-swappable version of this board, which is good because if it had not been, I would have returned it immediately. So I will have to say, that the entire board itself is really great--its a good entry level board for people who are just getting into mechanical keyboards and who have a potential interest in custom board modifying later on. My biggest problem lies with the sellers and the misleading information compared to the seemingly varying products they provide.

> 3 dayThis keyboard was great for a long time. I bought a little over 6 months ago and have since lubed the switches (Gateron Browns) and even swapped out the keycaps to a sweet vintage looking pbt set. Now right off the bat the performance of this keyboard is great while plugged in, no issues at all. I dont mind really having to use the function keys to use the arrow keys at all. The problem was when i try to use bluetooth. I really imagined this as the perfect keyboard for me to take on the go to do some programming for games at coffee shops to switch between my ipad pro and my laptop seamlessly. And it was that for some time (though never at an actual coffee shop for obvious reasons). Bluetooth would connect easily enough and switching between devices was a breeze. And then one day, it didnt. Just out of the blue one day it stopped connecting to bluetooth. I cant even get into bluetooth settings where the keyboard flashed red to signal that you are switching between different bluetooth devices. Every once in a while it would magically work again, which would make me think that I did something wrong and accidentally hit a combo of keys that disabled it. However after using software that (i had to hunt down on the internet for by the way) it not work. Now the bluetooth is completely shot and unusable. This is really dissappointing because I loved this keyboard and I want to love it again but I just doesnt do what I need to do. I cannot recommend this keyboard, I would just get the purely wired one for less money. unfortunately I now have to shell out money to pay for a more expensive keyboard that works. Royal Kludge if youre hearing this, please fix this and Ill update the review.

> 3 dayThis is an amazing keyboard for the price. I bought it for my girlfriend because the keys on her 2017 macbook pro started falling off, and she does a lot of freelance writing jobs. The lights are nice and bright, and there seems to be a light of different light patterns to choose from. Her favorite is the one that gently flows between rainbow colors as its not distracting and nice ambient light. It feels great when you type on it, you can use very light keystrokes because the keys are very responsive and take very little pressure to register. This is great because my girlfriend has symptoms of carpal tunnel, so it is less stressful to type. The only negative is the loudness of typing, it is as loud as an old fashion typewriter. If you are easily bothered by sounds this might not be a good choice. Overall very happy with the purchase.
