RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Plus Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 60% RGB Gaming Keyboard with USB Hub, Hot Swappable Computer PC Keyboards with Bluetooth/2.4G/Wired Modes, Silence Linear SkyCyan Switches

After setting up the keyboard to my laptop, many of the key dont even work - all the number keys and few of the letters. Wouldnt recommend buying this. Waste of $60...

This keyboard never works! Waste of money

Very smooth keyboard. Gifted to my brother and he was ecstatic. He was most excited for this gift!

I had the original RK61 for a while and wanted to upgrade. This keyboard was a great choice. Everything you loved about the RK61 and some! The silent sky switches are a bit different from anything Ive had. The best way I can explain them is that they feel light to type on. It doesnt get any better than this if youre looking for a great budget keyboard.

This is a great update to the RK61 that is everything that the original is. The layout of this board is very well thought out. The layers to reach different functions make sense, for the most part. The keycaps included in this set look really nice with this board and the stabs sound quite nice out of the box. Keys feel stable and the overall sound of the board is slightly on the deeper side. You can use 3pin or 5pin switches on this board but youll want to be careful with cherry profile keycaps. The LEDs are north facing and can cause some interference with a lot of different switches that you may want to choose. The USB passthrough is another great welcome that I couldnt be happier to see. Overall if you are looking for a great mechanical 60% keyboard this one is really solid out of the box and with a little time and work modding it, it has potential to be a monster.

While this is not my go-to size/layout for a small keyboard, I have enjoyed using this one. The lack of dedicated arrow keys is not my thing, but I did not deduct any stars for that since thats a personal flavor thing, and also not a fair critique for this kind of KB layout. I tested this with a couple different games (Terraria and Deep Rock Galactic) and it held up absolutely fine with each one. The switches are smooth and responsive and the keycaps feel nice to type on. I actually prefer the smoothness of these switches to my primary writing KB and am thinking I now need to buy a set of these cyan ones to match that experience. The battery life is excellent; I never even charged it after opening it and have been using it for about a week now maybe 30-60 min a day and havent had to charge it yet. The connectivity is all nice and I also love how this KB has a dedicated on/off switch. Ive had some that dont and it drives me crazy! Its got some weight to it so it wont slide around on the desk, but would be easily portable for a mobile game night (the primary reason I picked this up for myself, actually), and It feels solid and good to use. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a compact gaming board that still gives a nice smooth typing experience.

Likes- - I like the size of it. It has a smaller footprint but has some weight to it. Keys feel good when using. - Lighting: the light functionality of it is impressive Dislikes- - Id say the keyboard works well 90-95% of the time. However, every so often you will type a key and it will not show on screen. It happens enough to be an annoying regular issue. - No number pad. I can live with this, but wanted to mention it. - NO ARROW KEYS. This is almost a deal breaker here. That has to be 4 of the most used keys on a keyboard, and this just doesnt have them. I cant imagine gaming and not using arrow keys. So 3 stars, and that might be generous. Its a good idea but its got several bugs that need to be addressed.

The stock switches on this keyboard are so good, i decided to leave them on rather than transfer my Puprple Panda switches. On the other hand, the stabalizers arent the best. Take those out, pop in some Durock stabs lubed with dielectric grease and voila! Battery lifes great imo but this is my first wireless keyboard so I have no other frame of reference. Just buy it. Best part is that if a key stops working you can just pop in another. Edit: the signal is not the greatest. I have to sacrifice mouse space for the keyboard to work sometimes. Very troublesome in shooters like csgo and valorant where movement is crucial.

I have several RK Royal Kludge Keyboard’s most of which were a purchase, this keyboard was provided at no cost. That having been said this is by far the best of them all to date. I am a bit of a keyboard enthusiast and can honestly say this is by far the best 60% I currently own and prefer it to most of the 65% & 75% boards I have & I have many. What I like about this keyboard: -Linear Sky Cyan switches are super smooth and very quiet (silent even) -Hot Swappable, but like these switches so much I don’t see myself every swapping them out -Bluetooth, can be paired with up to 3 Bluetooth devices -2.4g wireless, with magnetic storage so don’t have to wonder where you left the dongle. -USB Type C cable connection when wired or charging. -USB C Hub when using wired, you won’t believe how often this comes in handy. -Nearly every function if not all functions with FN key, all are labeled on the front side of the keycap so does not clutter top face and won’t wear away. -Fantastic RGB lighting with many options to chose from without having to download software. -Instructions manual which I would not normally use or comment on is also probably the best I have received with a keyboard. Directions are clear and readable without a microscope and finding various functions was extremely easy. What I love about this Keyboard: -Typing experience is incredible, I have 30+ keyboards ranging from budget to expensive only one can compares to the typing experience out of the box as the RK61 and it cost 3 times what this one does on sale. I normally type 75-80wpm, before getting comfortable with this keyboard I tested my typing speed and was blown away after testing at 90wpm (a new record for me). What’s more it was effortless. -Super quiet, no pining, ringing, squeaking, or creaking (even the space bar). Great for office or video conferencing and wish I could get this in an 1800 format for productivity use. Absolutely amazing what they have accomplished with this keyboard, I can’t say enough how much I enjoy using this keyboard. - No modifications needed, works perfectly out of the box as is. -All connections work with no delay and switching is super-fast. -Love the color combination of board and keycaps and white typeface is very clear even in dim lighting. -Weight and feel of this keyboard give me a sense of quality. What some may not like: -I don’t think keycaps are PBT but can’t tell so does not bother me, they feel, sound quality. - Keycaps are not shine through, for touch typists won’t be an issue, especially on a 60% board and should not be an issue for anyone IMO with the lighting cast from laptop or screen legends should still be highly visible being white against a dark background. Highly recommend this keyboard, especially if any of the things mentioned in this review appeal to you, you might just save a few bucks because there are many options out there but for reasons mentioned none I have tried have really measured up to this one.

so i have never heard of rk switches and honestly i been messing up these are super clacky on the space bar and the keys feel great i would say they are in between blues and yellows and feels really good to game on i messed with this all night on mw2 campaign last night and it may be my new favorite keyboard only second to my ltc neon keyboard with ink switches but all and all i love it and would recommend i love this keyboard i was actually fortionate enough to get their lemon switches so i will be installing this on the all blue variant of the keyboard soon
