RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 60% Percent RGB, White | 60% RGB Gaming Keyboard with Bluetooth/2.4GHz/Wired, Hot Swappable 61 Keys Ultra-Compact for Win/Mac/PC, Linear Red Switch

I'm a founder of a technology startup that writes code for 12-16 hours per day. For the past 9 months I had been using an old, 100% sized, gaming mechanical keyboard. It was serviceable, but it was absolutely massive and was impossible to center on my desk as it would get in the way of my mouse. This caused me to have to twist my body to the left to type and over time it caused discomfort in my back and neck. I finally decided to look for an alternative and fell down the rabbit hole of high-end, split keyboards. I would have gotten one, but they are in the ball park of $300-$450 and I just couldn't justify that price at this point in time. I decided to take a look on Amazon for an affordable option and came across this listing. It was on sale for around $45 and seemed to be an incredible deal for the value. The fancy USB-C cable with the metal adapter was a feature I only ever saw on high-end keyboards and it had both Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wireless options. I audibly laughed when I opened the packaging as the keyboard is substantially smaller than my old keyboard. It made my old keyboard seem silly in comparison. This keyboard has a nice weight to it and was compact enough to be able to easily fit into a backpack for mobile use. This keyboard is my first experience with red linear switches and it has been wonderful. I barely have to put any effort into pressing the keys and the compact size means I can actually reliably press the number keys without having to double check which keys I'm pressing. I haven't noticed any latency between pressing keys and seeing text appear on the screen. I run Debian 12 Linux on my home desktop and the keyboard worked flawlessly without any setup. It took some time to get used to the multi-function keys but now it feels very natural and I don't miss the extra media keys I had on my old keyboard. One downside of this keyboard though, is the customization software for it is not available on Linux. The instruction manual is pretty decent; however, there is a typo for the English version where it says "Specaial Function Keys" instead of "Special Function Keys". In any case, this keyboard has been a pleasure to use and it's an incredible value for the money. I definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone looking to upgrade their computer setup without breaking the bank.

If you are looking for a (very) solid mechanical keyboard with great response time, a great typing feel, and very reasonable battery life, this is it. This is, however, NOT intended to be the keyboard for someone who must type continuously. It's really pretty small, although the keys are almost full sized. I use this to run my entertainment mini pc in the living room. Pro's: Bluetooth range no issues at 25 feet Wifi dongle range no issues at 25 feet Keys are very responsive and have a good click feel (I selected it. They have options for lighter and no click keys) The lighting is adjustable via hot keys Battery life. This keyboard is used daily and fairly often for general pc stuff and I literally cannot remember when it last needed charging. I think July and not because it was dead, just precautionary (writing this in December). It can also serve as a blunt instrument for self defense (not kidding about it being solid!) Cons: It IS small and heavy. Due to the size, it has a very active Function key setup and this occasionally requires referencing the documentation. That it. Been using this since April or so zero complaints. Bought a second one for a second entertainment mini. Love it!

*Update* After getting a replacement keyboard through Amazon, I can happily say that the keyboard is worth the price and may be my last choice of keyboard. The build quality is great the Red Optical switches have a nice feel has all the click none of the clack, spacebar's stabilizer could be a little better. RGB is very bright even with the lights on, even shows up very well on my streams. Overall solid keyboard definitely a steal for its price! After waiting for the fast shipping which arrived 2 days before the delivery date, I pulled it out of the box excited to use a mechanical keyboard that wasn't tacky garbage. Before plugging it In I read the manual on how the wired and Bluetooth works and decided to use the wired connection. Upon plugging it in nothing happened, I unplugged it switched the Bluetooth switch on and off about 3 times and tried again even tried a different USB-C wire. The only good thing I can admit to is the build quality of the board itself, not to heavy not to light, seems sturdy enough for long game nights and from reviews and videos the RGB seems great along with the software for customizing it. I have attached a video of me plugging it in and it still not working. I would either like a full refund or a replacement keyboard.

I must say, this keyboard is legit. I'm coming from a CORSAIR - LUX K65 RGB Cherry MX keyboard, this keyboard performs just as well. Time will tell the longevity of it, but for now i have not dropped in performance quality. To make it simple, i will list my Cons and Pros. Pros: -Very small and compacted -Wireless -Key switches can compare to top tier mechanical keyboards -Detachable cord -Fast response (via usb connection) -A lot of RGB options -Can connect to anything that is Bluetooth capable Cons: -Software does not work -Due to the none functioning software you can not set any MACROS -Wireless connection has latency (make sure your keyboard and your PC Bluetooth are close for better connection) - Can not set a specific color to any keys In conclusion, is you do not care for RGB and Macros this is a well built mechanical keyboard. Would like to thank Amazon for providing me with a discount due to the software issues. Reason I kept the keyboard is simply because I can take it anywhere. EDIT: Like I mentioned on my original review, let's see how long it holds up. Sad to say, my D key is not functional at all now. This keyboard has so much potential but you are taking a risk with a not well known brand. EDIT: May 5, 2020: Now my second keyboard (replacement) just started having issues, the "W" key and "E". Honestly, this is a poor designed product. I've had cheaper membrane keyboards from back in the early 2000's that currently work. I can not get a refund from Amazon, let's see if i can get one from the company. EDIT: May 14th, 2020: Since my keyboard has past the Amazon warranty, i decided to contact the seller and company. i was asked by the company if i knew how to swab switches, i told them no but i was willing to learn. So i asked them if they can send me 2 switches. Their response was, " due to the covid pandemic it's hard for them to ship switches form China", and ask me if i can purchase them. Keep in mind, 2 switches cost around $10, soldering equipment around $40, switch puller $8 to $10. This is mind-boggling to say the least, and an easy excuse to tell you to F off. If you add this up, i can buy a brand new keyboard. I just want people to be aware of the type of company you are purchasing from. EDIT: 11/03/2021 So after a year and half I had customer service reach out to me via email apologizing the way I was treated by their company and offered me a brand new (upgraded) keyboard. I want to thank Leslie for reaching out and sending a new unit. I will say that the company has made changes to their customer service and would definitely recommend.

You can't go wrong with this gaming advantage. I use a full size gaming pad 36 x 12" and needed a smaller keyboard (61 keys) to handle a 360 turn in my games while using full arm/wrist actions. This makes the grade. The keyboard is molded with a gradual rise to offer the perfect height to take the weight off my keyboard wrist. Quality construction with good weight and durability. The keyboard comes with the ability to connect via bluetooth or wired (bluetooth dongle included). Wired mode is best recommended set up to enjoy a noticeable, in-game response time. Hot swappable red switches (for extra fast reaction time) with extra keys and a key extractor come with it. Coiled power cable for keyboard movement and placement. RGB function keys with instructions are enclosed to apply your own personal, customized lighting pattern. I've used it for a month now and it does everything as advertised. I recommend this as the best buy to go for a gaming upgrade when you need extra space on your computer or gaming desktop. Game on!

I purchased this keyboard because I was sick of using the flat built-in keyboard on my work laptop. I already owned a Razer black widow v3 for my gaming computer and I knew I wanted a more affordable option. This was the perfect choice. Although a bit smaller than the black widow, the color is fantastic and bright and the battery life is the about the same. The keys are a bit on the louder end, but I prefer that in my keyboard. I have had some issues where the keyboard lights randomly turn red and the keys become unresponsive, but a quick Google showed me that you can easily reset the keyboard by pressing fn + space bar.

Works very well and i live the light settings

This keyboard is great lightweight works great plug and play very easy to use favorite keyboard and very budget friendly

Passt alles , wie beschrieben

love the choices of bluetooth, wired, and wireless options. i’m currently using wired on my pc. i really like the rgb; it is very vibrant and can be adjusted accordingly to your preference. there are also various different settings to choose from. the layout of the keyboard is small and compacted. its perfect for a small desk. although it is more compacted, it still has all the necessary keys you would find on like an rk71. i bought the red switches and it feels quite nice. i like how they include a couple of switches in case the switches stopped working. my C key didnt work when i first got it but when i switched the switches, i was able to get it working again, but unfortunately, the key didnt work again. i reached out to royal kludge and they were very nice and easy to talk to. they got back to me pretty quickly (i got a response from the day after). in my opinion, if you’re new to keyboards, i’d say RK keyboards are a great starter keyboard to get, considering it’s price, i believe its worth it.

ممتاز جداً

Feels good enough to type on. Works as advertised.
