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)

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.

General: This keyboard, for its price point, is a great deal. It does feel a little bit on the cheaper side, but I think that should be expected. Sound: It is a somewhat loud keyboard, but certainly not the loudest I have had for this price. Performance/Usage: This IS compatible with Linux systems, which I was happy to find out (since thats my main OS). Battery life is surprisingly long, definitely at least as long as the manufacturer states if not lasting even longer. The size is certainly something that needs adjustment for, it took me a couple of hours to be able to type efficiently but it took me a couple of days to figure out and memorize the odd key pairings that are somewhat necessary for reduced sized keyboards, such as holding the function key + shift + up arrow key to get a ? or the function key + the up arrow key to get a /, and other combinations for accessing common characters. I dont use the ? often since I code and it isnt a frequent use, but still it is there. The Bluetooth works perfectly, as well. I havent had any connection issues at all. Response time is pretty much indistinguishable between Bluetooth and wireless modes. The keyboard also has a TON of lighting options, which you dont always find for this price either. Overall: I definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone on a budget who wants a small wireless mechanical keyboard with great battery life. While it is small, it certainly is a respectable keyboard.

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.

This keyboard is incredibly well made and nice to type on but suffers from serious usability issues compounded by poor documentation. The default when you turn it on is to have several keys on the lower right remapped to arrow keys -- including the question mark. To get the regular keys back you need to hit function-Enter. This is NOT in the documentation -- the documentation says you have to hit function-control twice to do this. Not true. I learned that here in the amazon reviews. Apparently you can disable the windows/command key by hitting function-windows. I dont know why youd ever want to do this. I did it by accident a few times and I had no idea what happened. This keyboard would be hugely improved by a set of indicator lights to show you what configuration options youd switched on and off. As it stands theres no way to know except by hitting keys and trying to figure it out by what it is and isnt doing. Basically to use this keyboard well you have to somehow glean what all the (sometimes poorly documented) config options are and be ready to diagnose when you need to use them (and maybe when youve accidentally activated them). If you do all that, you may have a great time with this excellently made keyboard. If not, you will just find frustration. Bottom line, great keyboard but a huge challenge to learn to use well

This keyboard isnt the best there is. It isnt the greatest thing you will touch. However it is one of the best keyboards in this price range. I dont like playing video games, and am not a fan of rgb, so I turned down the brightness of the lights on the keyboard and it works great. I like the feel of the red switches, but it is a little louder than I expected. The function commands are a little confusing and understanding the User Manual is a chore, but once you get past it, the experience of using the keyboard is phenomenal. The Bluetooth feature is extremely useful especially for people who dont like clutter. I personally didnt find any problems with Bluetooth connection

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.

I like this keyboard however my only issue is that I mess around with coding and if you go from doing that to using your arrow keys maybe this isnt the keyboard for you. I like it but honestly I wish I purchased a different one thats just a little bit bigger so certain keys dont overlap.

I was skeptical about this purchase due to being unfamiliar with the company, but I’ve been very pleased with this product so far. It has a comfortable feel and has been easy to adjust to switching from another keyboard, having 3 different options to choose from when connecting it to whatever device you’re using is a really cool feature too. I have been primarily using it for my PS5 but have used it for my desktop as well and have no complaints for either. Would definitely recommend.

I bought this for super cheap when they were doing a sale. The cool blue backlight is pleasing to the eye. The backlighting effects are neat but unnecessary in my opinion. The RK blue clicky switches are very similar to gateron blues: Not so loud that it annoys me to type on, just a satisfying tactile click. Its still to much noise for an office environment though. I have installed dampeners that prevent the keycaps from bottoming out so it makes even less noise, but its still more audible than say a cherry mx or gateron brown. I use this keyboard (almost) expressly for my cellphone for texting, social media, or whatnot. It stays plugged in most of the time to a charger. So I have to turn on the bluetooth which is quite easy. It also is connected to my iPad and PC; and switching between them is a simple FN+Q,FN+W,or FN+E. And that works much better and reliably faster than any bluetooth headphones Ive ever owned. I do have a couple of gripes: 1. It will only stay connected via bluetooth before disconnecting for one minute without touching a key. Then I have to hit a key to get it to reconnect. My SK61 board is closer to 5 mins and more preferable. I wish that was adjustable. 2. The switch to turn on the Blutooth is on the back. Kind of annoying when youre not used to it. I wish there was a hot-key combo that powers it on and off like other keyboards. 3. When switched on, it does NOT save the setting of having the arrow keys (ALT,MENU,CTRL, and ?) turned off. You have to turn it off to use a question mark for typing EVERY SINGLE TIME. This combo is (FN+enter). A minor, but noteworthy gripe. 4. The case and keycaps are CHEAP. The case looks like a piece of cheap plastic that does not belong on a decent mechanical keyboard, and will probably shatter if dropped. The keycaps are the same. Although the font is easy to read, and the shine-through is nice, it feels like youre typing on plastic wrap. I dont know if its the ABS material or not. But they kinda suck. So I had to swap those out. Otherwise, this is a decent keyboard and decent value

Sturdy, well-built keyboard for the price point. Ergonomic shape, keys are backlit with different settings. No option to change the backlight color, however. Wireless and wired options. Comes with a keycap remover and extra switches for customization. Overall a good purchase!
