RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wireless 60% Triple Mode BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C Mechanical Keyboard, 61 Keys Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Compact Gaming Keyboard with Software (Hot Swappable Blue Switch, Black)

COVID has me working in my small home office. I have my work MacBook, my Windows Laptop, and my old iMac all jammed onto a small desktop. Wanting to clean up my desk, I was looking for a Bluetooth keyboard that would work with all three. Which brought me to this small, wireless keyboard with the ability to pair with three machines.Here's the good news, this is a well-made keyboard. It's fast. If you have the ability to type very fast, the switches on this keyboard have strong tactile feedback that allows you to actuate each key without fully depressing the key. If you aren't a touch typist, this probably isn't the keyboard for you. If you are a touch typist, you have three key combos that you will need to learn, or the benefits of this keyboard miss you entirely.This is a noisy keyboard, for a reason. If you are a touch typist, you may like the audible click each keypress makes. This is, however, not a friendly keyboard for use in a shared workspace.This is a small keyboard, but it has full-sized keys. This is great if you are a touch typist with a small, private, workspace. It does require some tradeoffs. In order to make the keyboard small, but retain full-sized keys, there are fewer keys than a standard 101 keyboard, this machine has multiple functions or layers for many of the keys.This keyboard has full-sized arrow keys that occupy one layer. Press Fn+Enter and that layer is disabled and now the up arrow becomes the /? key. Left arrow becomes the right Alt key and the Right arrow becomes the right CTRL-key. (I'm not sure what the down arrow becomes.) Tada!In my case, I also need to flip the functions of the keyboard from windows to Mac. To do that, I hit Fn+A or Fn+S Then I have access to all the windows or Apple functions. I can use Fn Q to switch to my work laptop, Fn W to switch to my windows laptop and Fn E to switch to my old iMac.Kudos to this keyboard for having EXCELLENT Bluetooth management and excellent power management. It reliably stays connected to the machine I want it connected. It reliably switches on command. It reliably reconnects after it has gone to sleep. In this regard, it is even better than my old Apple wireless keyboard.Finally, the top row of keys acts both as your regular numeral row and your Function keys. To toggle that layer, I hit Fn+Ctrl to flip back and forth.Admittedly, Remembering these three key combos takes a little getting used to. The instructions are sparse, but they exist, and the keyboard functions as advertised.This is a loud, clicky keyboard. I kinda like it, though I have to close my office door or my wife will comment on the noise.The keyboard has survived its first week of use on one charge, so that seems acceptable. It charges through its included USB cable. The battery is permanent and not hot-swappable. The key switches are permanently soldered in, so they aren't swappable either. The keycaps are swappable, and I may just buy a new keycap for the "WIN" button.Oh, it has amber lights. I have the black version of this keyboard and they look nice, though I don't really need all the wavy patterns.The layers thing doesn't bother me too much, but it is hard to get used to my wife laughing whenever I type._____I've spent a bit more time with this keyboard and I've added a start. It was easy for me to add the Fn+Enter to toggle the arrow keys and Fn+Ctrl to toggle the function keys.I'm super happy with the ability to switch between three devices on demand. This really is a great keyboard for the money, and the seller did a great job getting the keyboard shipped promptly. They even sent a personal follow up email to ensure everything went well and that all my questions were answered.

Does Exactly What It's Supposed ToNo complaints here—this product works exactly as expected. It arrived on time, in good condition, and performed its intended function without any issues. Reliable and as described. Would purchase again if needed.

Hi, I bought the keyboard as a gift for my grandson. I haven't had time to give it to him yet. I heard he was looking for one, he's probably already heard about it, and he also knows it's not cheap, so I decided to surprise him.

Hey, keyboard nerd here. I've 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 don't 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. They're 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 won't last forever but they seem like they'll survive at least a few years.The 2.4ghz performance is pretty good, which is to say it's 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, I'd stick to playing wired. I obviously didn't 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 rk61's 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 I'm 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 key's 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 backtickOkay, 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. It's good value for the money. It's 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 doesn't 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.

Inshouldnt have to say this. This product is amazing for the price!

For its price it worked very well, I decided to buy a new one, yeah this keyboard has a great run
