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

The keyboard is a little small without a 9-key on the side but it feels great while typing on it. If you use the number pad a lot, this isnt for you but if it isnt something you need it isnt a problem. Larger hands might find the keys close together but I dont have any problems with it and I wear a large size in womens gloves. I havent needed to swap out any keys so I havent tried that part.

First off this thing is absolutely AMAZING! I have 4 Royal Kludge Keyboards and this on is my favorite. I still use the RK100 as my main board because I need a numpad for work but when I am getting ready to game the RK61 is my go to. The Cyan switches are an amazing feeling linier pre lubed swtich that is like butter. The color choice of the Blue, Gold and White are gorgeous and remind me of the Gundam keyboard made by Asus Rog Strix.

It’s compact in size and perfect for gaming. It lights up with different colors help with vision when or if needed. I highly recommend this for smaller hands that loves gaming. It totally works for a large hand as well, but smaller hands benefit from it not being as large as a regular size keyboard.

This keyboard is amazing. I use this for work everyday and it doesnt lag at all, it a really nice keyboard. No complaints at all.

This RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 mechanical keyboard is a great keyboard. The switches are solid already - very responsive - and the keyboard is quiet. It has a great feel to it. Plus it is hot swappable in case I do want to change anything. My son is the keyboard connoisseur and he left this one alone (for now). Overall a versatile, quality 60% keyboard.

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.

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.

I picked this up because I have used Royal Kludge boards in the past and was looking for a wireless board for my tablet and traveling. I bought a Royal Kludge RG-928 with a black case, tactile Gateron Brown switches on August 10th 2015 and it still works to this day. The version of this board that I picked up is the Royal Kludge RK61 Plus RGB Edition, white case/keycaps set, and linear SkyCyan switches (Appear to be manufactured by RK). However, the keyswitches will not affect my rating of the board because they are a personal preference. I would suggest buying a key tester to figure out what kind of switches and how heavy of switches you prefer before buying a board. This board comes with the ability to use a wired USB connection, wireless 2.4 GHz adaptor or Bluetooth. The built-in USB hub does not work with the wireless options. I started with using the USB cable to get the board fully charged up and then switched to Bluetooth. It works very well with little to no noticeable latency. Using Bluetooth, you can also press Fn+Q/W/E to switch between multiple linked devices which is a nice feature if you plan to use the board with your desktop, laptop, and tablet for example. If the board goes to sleep, it will take a few seconds after a keypress to reconnect to the selected device which can be annoying. The 2.4GHz dongle has a recessed spot in the back of the board for storage as well. The board is made of plastic, but incredibly solid. I cannot get the deck to flex with any reasonable amount of pressure or torque. It also sits at a natural 22-ish degree angle that you would get with most keyboards with the legs extended. This has no adjustable legs at all, so if you like a more or less inclined board, this might not be the best option for you. The RGB is completely controlled with hotkeys on the board. This is perfectly acceptable because it saves the settings you had set last when you turn it off and on. I have mine set to solid light blue at about 75% brightness. You can do everything from basic solid color to full rainbow puke if that is what you prefer. The included keycap and keyswitch puller is the normal plastic and wire construction type. Simple, yet effective. The keycaps themselves are easy to remove with the tool but not super loose. The keyswitch puller works incredibly well to pull the switches and they come out nice and easy. I swapped every keyswitch on my board from the included SkyCyan (RK) switches to a mixture of Gateron Yellow (3 pin) and Gateron Milky Yellow (5 pin) switches. This gives me an activation force similar to the Cherry MX Browns that I am used to but without the tactile bump. This being said, the switches are not affecting my review, just the ease of swapping them. It took about an hour for me to remove all the keycaps and keyswitches and reinstall both. I only killed one switch in the process by bending a leg when inserting it. It is very nice that the PCB has the appropriate keycap labeled next to the keyswitch to help you reinstall the keycaps in the right positions if you forgot to take a picture before disassembly. The last thing about the board is that it is a 60%. I am used to using full sized or ten-keyless boards. I use my arrow keys and F1-12 a lot in my daily work and games. This is very much something to consider when buying this board as you will have to adjust to pressing Fn to get to the F1-12 and Arrow keys. You can use Fn+Enter to get into Arrow Key Mode, but then you lose your / and ? to Up Arrow. This will be a completely personal preference thing. After a few weeks, I am still using this board as my daily driver. Im probably going to go back to a ten-keyless but I think the days of using a wired board for me are now over. Its so nice to be able to move the board out of the way without dealing with wires. Then if I want to type a long message on my phone I can just switch to the bluetooth profile for it.

I dont have a big desk so this keyboard is perfect for tight space. The keys are easy to type with. Great color, it matches my desk color. The battery life lasts 3-4 days with one charge with about 5 hours usage time a day. I really like that its wireless. Overall, very good keyboard

This is a must have for gaming, new or seasoned. The satisfying click is amazingly soft to use, and the colors are calming for any room. The battery lasts so long, I forgot it even needed to be charged for weeks.
