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)

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 love this keyboard. I’ve only charged it twice since I’ve purchased it (About 3 months), and you can change the lighting. I thought you could change the color of the lights but I don’t think you are able to. I’m planning on buying new switches, I didn’t know the difference in blue or red so I chose the blue switches when I ordered this (Please don’t unless you actually like the sound). The only real issue is that the keys stick sometimes. This might be on my part; my boyfriend plays games and types on it yet he hasn’t experienced any issues, this might be because he types extremely fast whereas I don’t.

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.

Several keys stoped working after a few years. Its a good Keyboard but I hate to buy disposable things USB-C? √ Blue tooth and wired? √ Small mobile keyboard to take on the go? √ Nice typing feel? √ Extremely low cost for mid quality? √ Never found my self with out battery for my keyboard. √ Ive never owned a flashy back lit keyboard with lighting, I dont really care about this feature. Its kinda cool but distracting and kinda worthless. If you want better battery performance turn this off. The blue tooth quick switching between up to 3 devices does not work very well for iOS/iPadOS devices. Im not really sure what the problem is but it seams to work between desktop/laptop macs. My primary use for the keyboard is general writing which it works great for, and programing. For coding/programing using vim its great (because you dont need your arrow keys and you dont need a pointing device). However if you need to use an IDE and you need to maneuver around the code using arrow keys youll have to flip between arrow mode and /? mode. The up arrow key and the /? key are degenerate sharing the same physical key, and because your on the 60% format they want to conserve space. If you need to use arrows and /? interchangeably a lot, the switch is fast (left shift + Fn), but it might get annoying. Over all for the price its an amazing value. Obviously you can get higher quality keyboard, and maybe something that will last 20 years, but you got to pay those Benjamines.

I use this keyboard at my gaming table, for the occasion when I need to type when leading my gaming group. They keyboard is responsive and solid, and I cant see me using a different one.

update (2020.4) : I am not changing 4 star rating but I could fix the issue by myself. so here is few tips for the users suffering similar issue. The popping key cap could be fixed using adhesive residue that I could scrap from tape. I could use a glue but at the time I didnt have it. and it could smear into switch mechanism to ruin the switch. This little amount of adhesive scraped from tape worked perfectly and safely. And another tip for Mac users. hard to type due to complicated combination of keys to type ? could be solved through letter replacement under keyboard setting in Mac OS. I personally have set two exclamation mark to be replaced to question mark. I hope this helps. this keyboard is a joy to use and joy to hear. It was little challenging to figure out short cuts at first. But once it’s done, this keyboard has become one of my favorite keyboard of all time. It just has perfect combination of everything. Size, quality, wireless and price. I didn’t even expect this keyboard to be this good. 4 stars : Im adjusting minus 1 star from previous 5 star rating. some key caps pop out if I type really fast. Im thinking about putting some glue to those key caps to switches. Other than that its OK 3 stars : I have been using this keyboard as a 2nd keyboard. so the mileage wasnt too long. but one of the key is not working now. Im sad that this keyboard couldnt keep up with real use.

The keyboard is functionally great. But it was a little uncomfortable for me since it doesn’t have a wrist rest. The size was also too small to be comfortable. I ended up returning it and buying a different keyboard from the same manufacturer

This keyboard is quite good. The build quality is on point and the switches feel good, even if they are nock-off Cherry MX. I own the Anne pro 2 as well as this RK61, (my anne pro has Gateron Red switches, and the RK61 has blues, so they are quite different). they are nearly identical to one another with the Anne pro 2 coming up just slightly ahead of the RK61 in terms of build quality. (to be expected, as the Anne pro 2 is double the price). If this is your first mechanical keyboard and you are trying to choose what type of switch to get, your first thought might be to get blues. they are tactile, clicky, basically everything you think of when you think about a mechanical keyboard, and how it should sound. BUT

They claim that the product is hotswappable with other switches, so inherently I bought switches and a switch puller to switch them out. They didnt come up and upon reading a reply in the reviews they claim they arent hotswappable. Honestly obnoxious because Ive damaged some of the switches trying to pull.
