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)

So I didnt realize when I bought this one that it is blue light LEDs only. Which is fine. I went with blue clicky switches and they are kind of meh. Havent taken the time to lube them but the space bar sounds incredibly hollow and different compared to the rest of the keys, you can really tell when the space is being pressed. I had to use the cable it came with to get my computer to auto-download the drivers. After that it worked with my Glorious coiled cable. Mine is a USB-C all though the ad does still show micro usb in their photos. The RK software does absolutely nothing for me, neither does the firmware download. Its a pain to get it to even download and when it does open it just shows a keyboard with absolutely no options to choose from or anything.. it literally does nothing. Also the shortcuts like (FN+||) and what not for changing to the 17 lighting modes does nothing, neither does the shortcut for brightness. So I am stuck with a mediocre lit blue LEDs with no customization. Overall the keyboard looks nice and itll be probably more of a piece of my display than using it. Would change out the clicky keys, they are a bit much.. Pros are it is cheap, looks decent, can take 3 or 5 pin switches and is hot swappable. I think it could use some new stabilizers though. Overall not horrible but their software and customization is non-exsistent.

Bought this and it initially became very slow after a few weeks. However, customer services reached out, sent me a new one, and it is great! The keys are responsive, and the board is very sturdy overall. I am very impressed. Plus customer service was great if you have any issues. It was a great buy! I recommend handing on to the manual, if you accidentally switch modes, you will be confused why keys arent behaving like youd expect, just hold Fn + Space and it will reset. Great keyboard!

I’ve used the Ducky One Two Mini before as it was my main before this, I wanted to try out some blue switches on a new keyboard without breaking the bank, as well as wanting the bluetooth feature. I love the white minimalistic case on this keyboard, as well as the simple keycaps. For a couple of days I would run bluetooth for random tasks, schoolwork etc., and use the wired connection for gaming and saw no errors. Bluetooth was simple enough to pair and paired automatically upon turning it on, however I feel as if it started lasting less and less time. My personal experience is that I would really only get maybe 2-3 hours out of what I thought was a full charge. Regardless, I ended up going back to wired with using a 180 usb c and routing it underneath the keyboard and under the desk to give it the same look. All in all for the price I think this product is worth it. I love the blue switches as well as the material of the stock keycaps much more than ones that come on razer and other higher end brands. This is the perfect entry keyboard, so long as you are not fully relying on the charge of the bluetooth comparability, I contemplated upgrading the battery, however decided I didn’t want to deal with the latency over bluetooth and would just return to wired.

A close friend got super invested in custom keyboards. While I was waiting for a case to arrive, he convinced me to pick this up, as a fun starter hot swap board at a very low price point. It was so fun to type on as a beginner that I wound up buying a bakeneko case from cannonkeys so I would have a fun alternative, while still waiting on the Salvation case, and now I’ve spent way too much money on keyboards, caps, switches, stabs, cables and all that jazz. The only negative about this board is that it’s such a fun intro to a crazy niche hobby that you’ll likely wind up dropping thousands on fancy pants builds and switches. This one isn’t super customizable, and frankly it’s probably best that way, because if your buying one of these you have the knowledge and desire to actually seek out some bangin keebs in the future.

Great quality, feels strong and sturdy. Love how you can use bluetooth, dongle, or wired. Been using it for my Steam Deck but also using it with my laptop.

I coudnt get this keyboard to connect with my desktop but I believe my desktop doenst have bluetooth capability. Although its only one background color, there are many modes that are easily changed by the flick of a key. Pretty cool. The blue switches are amazing. They are clicking away as I write. Amazing. Two things I dont like: Im used to having the Enter button in the bottom right corner which you lose with this keyboard, but Ill get used to it I suppose. The other thing I dont care for is the functionality b/c I dont use if for gaming; more so for typing there are some functions you miss from a regular keyboard, but naturally youll give up something to conserve the space. This little keyboard is build well with ergonomics in mind. Although it lays flat on the desk, the keys arch up nice at the top level.

I purchased the keyboard so as to have a bluetooth mechanical keyboard with a somewhat decent battery life (at least one or two weeks before it has to be plugged in for re-charging), but the keyboard has to be recharged every two to three days, even if you turn it off when not in use (the dip-switch on the bottom). I do not know if its a defective part, but battery performance is abysmal. Also, bluetooth performance (and 2.4g for that matter) is hit and miss; key presses are not recognized, which does not happen when wired directly to the PC (which has to happen very often, due to the abysmal battery performance of the unit). Do not recommend if the plan is to use as a wireless keyboard.

Hey, keyboard nerd here. Ive been around the hobby for a while but I got one of these to use as a beater/travel board. This version of the board seems to be a newer version that was introduced this year (or maybe in 2021). Most reviews you can find online of the older one, but the main differences are switch compatibility and the 2.4ghz receiver. The current version that I have is fully hot swap compatible. I dont think it was made clear enough, and I think the fact that this amazon page includes the reviews for the old version is confusing. The old version is only compatible with Outemu style switches with the smaller stems. This version, to my surprise, worked fine with Gateron reds and other standard switches. I looked through the listing again and there was an indication in one of the *pictures* of all things that the keyboard switches are almost fully hot swappable. All of the online reviews for this keyboard are for the older version and indicated that it only supports Outemu style switches, which is no longer the case. Switch and keycap quality are okay. Theyre definitely fine for the price but the switches do have a bit of wobble to them. The texture on the keycaps is fine. They probably wont last forever but they seem like theyll survive at least a few years. The 2.4ghz performance is pretty good, which is to say its pretty standard for a 2.4ghz wireless receiver at this price point. The latency is noticeably better than bluetooth. That said, wired performance is noticeably better than 2.4ghz to me. I still think the 2.4ghz receiver is plenty good for casual games and way better than bluetooth, but if you want to be a sweaty fps gamer, Id stick to playing wired. I obviously didnt buy this keyboard for gaming, but for reference I tested it on cod mw2 (2022) running on performance mode at 240hz, with my usual keyboard being a rog falchion. Compared to that keyboard, the rk61s 2.4ghz mode had a pretty noticeable delay for me, but the wired mode was plenty good enough for fast-paced sweaty gaming. Also, the manual could use some improvements. Below Im adding a rundown of how the keyboard is mapped out, since I had to look some of it up and trial-and-error the rest. - fn + left control: toggles between 3 fnlock modes. 1)[fnlock for the function row (f1-f12) + fnlock for the nav cluster (prtscr, home, end, etc)] 2)[fnlock for only the function row] 3)[no fnlock at all] - to access the multimedia keys (volume up, play, stop, open browser, etc), you need to have the number row set to the function row (f1-f12) from the step above, then hold down fn and press one of the f1-f12 keys. that should activate the keys multimedia functions. - fn + enter: toggles fnlock for arrow key cluster in the bottom right corner. press it again to disable it - fn + a, fn + s: switches to windows or mac mode respectively. this just switches the function of the alt/opt and windows/cmd keys to their usual layouts on windows/mac - fn + windows key: locks the windows key and prevents it from being clicked, for gaming. press again to remove the lock - fn + esc: use the tilde key. hold shift during this to type a backtick Okay, I think that should be it. Everything else is reasonably explained in the manual or on the key legends themselves. Overall. I like this keyboard. Its good value for the money. Its fully hotswap now so you can upgrade to whatever switches you want later. Keycaps feel fine to me for the price. The 2.4ghz receiver works fine for the price and latency is fine. Bluetooth and wired modes work fine. Really my biggest gripe is that the manual doesnt properly explain how the keyboard is laid out well, which is pretty essential on any board smaller than 65%, which is why I docked a star. Still recommend the board, but I really hope the manual and documentation can get an improvement in the future.

UPDATE: Got the board replaced and it works perfectly now. Based on other reviews there might be a bad batch. This board is great and sounds nice, but I have been FIGHTING it to stay connected. I have to have it hardwired and the dongle plugged in and even then its spotty with registering keystrokes. Ive plugged, unplugged, tried bluetooth, etc and all that has happened is now specific keys do not work.

This clicky-clacky little number does a fine job at providing a more satisfyingly tactile experience than your usual Bluetooth keyboard. Lots of reviews (and the product description!) suggest that you need to do some goofy key combos to get normal characters like question marks, but hidden in the manual is this handy paragraph: “Press FN+Shift (shift on the right side of the keyboard), Arrow keys turn into the second function. Press FN+Shift again, arrow keys function recovery.” Not the best translation, but it does mean you can toggle the arrow keys with a simple keyboard combo. I’ve attached a picture of the entire manual for the convenience of other potential buyers. And honestly, I recommend it. This keyboard is a steal at this price. It’s probably not the perfect gaming keyboard and your co-workers will murder you if you try to bring it to the office, but it’s a very functional device that’s a lot of fun for casual use. It also seems to be pretty trivial to customize, with easily swappable keycaps and a whole universe of little nerdy doo-dads to get the typing experience of your dreams. One imagines the more expensive models are even better if you’re trying to be some kind of Pro Gamer or you can’t type on anything less than actual ivory keys hand carved by patient artisans in a foreign country, but for the rest of us, it’ll do quite nicely. Also the whole thing lights up and makes you feel like you’re in a cheap Matrix knock-off movie, which is cool.
