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)

If you like the keys raised, this is your keyboard…I have long nails & had hard time with the flat keyboard. I love this works great with my nails!!!!! LOL….

I bought this keyboard around this time last year This is really nice keyboard it is still in great condition I have spilled water in it and got food all over it and I have put it through hell it is a really good one major thing I don’t like about it is the Bluetooth after a while it will disconnect and you may or may not struggle to reconnect it. Other than that the keyboard is great.

I do programming for a living and this keyboard was a nightmare to code on. To type a simple forward slash, I had to press a function key. Learning how to operate the keyboard was worse than actually using a larger form factor keyboard. I cannot recommend this for anyone not willing to learn the multitude of shortcuts to just use basic characters on the keyboard. On the other hand, the build quality was great. Typing felt good on the keys and the backlighting was cool looking. 3 stars for me for the build, but usability took off 2 stars because of the complexity of using the thing.

Had mine for about 2 years now and it works perfectly as if I got it yesterday. Clean it often and it’s a great $50 spent.

This thing is amazing with my steam deck and pc alike, for a non expensive keyboard it is for sure my favorite

Its actually amazing plus the own keyboard tells you when its about to shut off bc of the battery, overall 10/10 for the price

I bought this specifically for Undertale and Deltarune and the keyboard arrow keys are good for it. I was able to beat sans and Jevil twice and the keyboard was very responsive. Eh good purchase and I can use it for other things so yeah good purchase overall. I bought it with blue keys and I didnt care about the type of keys. I was worried at first so I fired up Badtimesimulator and was able to beat sans successfully with blue keys. I also had custom my keyboard with a purchase I made a while ago of a one hand keyboard. It was a red dragon one hand keyboard and it looked good for the results. Easy to remove and customize keys and key types. The key caps and key buttons were easy to remove and cause no frustration. Good keyboard will use it for other uses.

Quick warning, I never used this in bluetooth mode so I dont know how well or poor that works. I have used this very a very limited amount in wireless mode, as I dont care about that sort of thing. It sometimes drops inputs in that mode, but thats because I have my xbox controller and headset that uses the band its on. YMMV. The simple fact is this: For 64 bucks, youre getting a hot-swappable 60% keyboard, with a metal backplate, that has adjustable lighting. Its a steal of a deal. Theres a few catches, though. 1: The lighting is flat. One color. In white, its sky blue-ish. In black, it appears to be yellow from other reviews. If you want RGB, buy the more expensive version. 2: A 60% is kind of difficult to buy new switches for because of the function layer. Unless youve memorized the layout, if you do decide to get better keycaps, you might be lost as to how the Fn+ layout of this keyboard works. Generally the F keys will always be the corresponding number, but if you need the arrow keys, or the pgup/pgdn/del/end/whatever youll need to find keycaps *specifically for this keyboard* to have the function layer be on the board. Theyre most likely out there but still. If thats going to be a deal-breaker for you, buy their TKL which just loses the side number pad. Its only slightly more expensive. Youll still need to deal with the lighting controls in that case but its much more likely youll just remember where those are. 3: The battery is non-removable. If, like me, you use this exclusively in wired mode...well, the spacebar will flash at you, every hour or so, telling you its fully charged. Its annoying but you learn to ignore it. 4: This board does something incredibly nifty thats ruined if you keep the lighting at full blast. When caps lock is on, it tells you by turning the light all the way up. See...the obvious problem here is that it should have dimmed the light instead of brighten it. You literally cant run the lights fully if you want that feature to work, so I dont...cause I do. No keyboard is going to be perfect. For the price, if you want a 60%, get it. If you want a 65%, buy that version. If you want a TKL, buy that version. Hot-swappable at these prices? No brainer.

I love NEARLY everything about this keyboard. The keys feel so nice and satisfying, the size is perfect, and the lighting features are awesome. The only problem (and it is a BIG one for me) is that the / key and the up arrow key share a single key and you have to use the FN key to toggle between them. As someone who is a writer and does a bit of coding as well, this is just not practical for me. I use both keys all the time and its not just a rare inconvenience, but a constant one, to use the FN key to type out a slash. But this experience has made me realize there is, in fact, a reason gaming keyboards are gaming keyboard. I would imagine, when gaming, the need for a slash key isnt critical. But for my everyday purposes, both those keys are. Ill be returning this keyboard,but Im going definitely check out Royal Kludges other options because apart from that one major quirk, the keyboard is great.

I bought this board as a budget 60% to switch off of my Anne Pro II with Kailh Box Reds if I was in the mood for some clicky goodness. The product page I think is intentionally vague about blue switches because they likely ship with whatever switch is cheapest at the time. I think some have Kailh branded switches, others have their own RK switches, and mine came shipped with Outemu switches. Its clicky and noisy enough for my needs for when I want to have it. Unfortunately, the single light version, as far as I can tell, does not have software to allow for key remapping. This was my fault for not doing my homework, but the default layout has some interesting thought put into it that I may be copying over to my AP2. A quick search on google finds that there is in fact software for the RGB version of this RK61, so if budget allows, I would recommend springing for that one. Fn+Enter can trigger the arrows to function as the primary layer and pressing the combo again will make the arrows secondary so you can easily access /?, alt, menu, and ctrl and hold down fn with your pinky to operate arrows as a second layer. Although it is only a single light, there are some lighting animations available and accessible with the keys on the right as a second function layer. I personally just use the static orange, however. Stabilizers are pretty garbage on space, enter and shift. Im relatively new to the mech hobby and did not understand what wobbly stabilizers were until I felt and heard this board. Although what I have to comapare it to (AP2) is known for having some decent stabilizers. All in all, despite my gripes with it, its a decent budget board that gets the job done. And again, if you can afford, I would bump up to the RGB version to allow for more customization with key remapping.
