RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 60% Mechanical Keyboard with Coiled Cable, 2.4Ghz/Bluetooth/Wired, Wireless Bluetooth Mini Keyboard 61 Keys, RGB Hot Swappable Blue Switch Gaming Keyboard with Software - Black

Love this keyboard with the brown switch!!! It is very professional performance, compact and yet same key size and spacing, solid build, handle multiple operating systems at same time, and looks great.At first, got this keyboard because I wanted a mechanical keyboard to handle my Jetson Nano (Linux OS like Raspberry Pi) and keep around on desk with my Windows machine Logitech mechanical gaming keyboard (Logitech G810). I type a lot with the Windows machine for work and the software development job I do so I need a keyboard that is fast, feels good for typing, and fingers can easily maneuver with it from the first minute to the 12th hour or continuous use. I got this keyboard because it was small and had to be on my desk at the same time that I had my main use Logitech keyboard. After using this new keyboard I changed my mind about keeping two keyboards on my desk at the same time. This keyboard will be the only keyboard on my desk. This keyboard is much better in most features I described above and more than the Logitech mechanical keyboard; makes me sad because I really like the Logitech keyboard. The Logitech does have the up/down/left/right arrows separated and a very important feature you might think twice about before getting this keyboard. The manufacturer totally missed out on the keyboard increase and decrease volume. This could be a deciding point for many people because you don't want to hunt around for volume if you are doing something fast and continuous; I almost did not get this keyboard because of that and this manufacturer is probably missing a lot of more detailed experienced customers on this issue; THERE IS A FIX - read easy fix in following paragraph below. This keyboard switches between Windows and Linux (between computers) with ease where the Logitech and others have difficulty because of software they download and place in Windows with no other support. For this keyboard I did not download any software and it maintains all the color settings; function key settings are done from the operating systems so that does not matter for me. The colors chosen and area of display is also much better and a professional feel than the Logitech and the color pallet and lighting balance make me feel good; I used to do a little of lighting design and this feels more professional than some cheap lit keyboard that feels like it was won at some kids arcade.Programming the function keys on Linux is easy. On Windows you can download "AutoHotKey" and create a very short three line script for volume up down and mute; plenty of examples you could copy/paste and modify. Remember to place finished script in "startUp" directory to work with computer restart. The free non-commercial app (have not noticed any spy or adware software with it) will also allow any other modification of key press with mouse interaction; for example open some app on key-press or hold windows key with mouse buttons to control volume... or anything you probably any functionality running through your mind.I am very picky about keyboards, I don't like a car with just an OK suspension that fails in bad weather or keeps you from driving fast and easy. I like a more accurate, precise, and fast acting suspension on a car that makes driving fast like driving half the speed with out getting stressed out for a very long distance. This keyboard is that.

Honestly the best keyboard for its price. I’ve had this keyboard for a while and it’s amazing. No issues, very easy to clean, lots of rgb options, nice breaded long usb c cable. very easy to transport. Sounds like heaven. Feels amazing when clicking keys. Absolutely worth every penny.

This is definitely one of the top 3 budget keyboards I'd definitely recommend especially if you're looking for a small or minimal 60% look or simply don't need the functionality of the function row or numpad. When purchasing make sure you know what kind of switches you want because you have the option of linear reds, tactile browns, or clicky blues. I went with browns since I've used reds before, but felt a little too light for me to the touch. I included 2 pictures with different keycaps. The first pic has some HyperX pudding keycaps, and the second pic are the keycaps it comes with along with a 10 CMYK keycap set, similar to what comes with the Anne Pro 2 60% keyboards. This is definitely worth it. I only wish that it came with at least Outemus or Gaterons instead of their proprietary RK switches, but if you want you can purchase the ones you want, as long as it's compatible with the pcb, and do some soldering. I also did lube the stabilizers, as recommended by some, to negate the ping-y sound that may reverberate when pushing on the keys that have stabilizers (shift, enter, and especially spacebar). I used dielectric grease that I purchase at a local autozone (you can also find it at home depot, or any hardware or auto store), that only cost me $1 during a sale, but only normally $5 or less. Do this and you'll have an amazing 60% mechanical keyboard. The RGB's aren't too dim and actually brighter than the ones I had on a previous Tecware Phantom 87 TKL. I love the led patterns on this a lot, but you can also turn them off if you want to. The wireless and bluetooth functionality on this keyboard is also very easy to use. Make sure you read the manual! It'll have the commands/inputs you need if your keyboard does not automatically pair to the device you want. You can pair it up to 3 devices such as your Pc, Ipad, and/or Iphone or anything with bluetooth functionality. I usually use this wired since it's specifically for gaming, but I can see this being of use as a portable wireless keyboard on the go since it is only a 60%. I've only found one issue that might of been on my end, and that was when I tried using a cheapo usb that had leds on this versus the one it came with, or one of decent quality. The usb I tried using was mostly for aesthetics since it blinked blue/red leds, but was also just cheap and gimmicky. Other than that I have had know issues, and I've own this for a few months now. If anything changes I will update this review.

This worked seamlessly the first few times I paired it with my MacBook, but became problematic every time after that. Now, it pairs under two different numbers, but neither one works at all now. The first time it started to glitch, it would pair, but some of the keys stopped working. Then, I would type a word correctly but when proofreading an essay or document, I would find that some of the words somehow became misspelled. After noticing this a few times, I purposely experimented with it by taking care to type everything correctly then proof read. Sure enough, some words had changed altogether or had become misspelled. It’s so weird. I don’t know if there is a fix, but I’m pretty sad because out of all my Bluetooth keyboards, this one quickly became my favorite to type on. The lighting effects are awesome as well. I just can’t use it with school work now, especially when typing papers which is the whole reason I bought it. Maybe it’s just a defective unit, but I’m not willing to buy a second one to find out.*UPDATE*I was able to fix some of the issues by playing around with some settings on my mac. Though there are still some issues with pairing, It’s operating well in all other areas. I just keep it paired to one device and only use it with that one. I've updated my rating to reflect these fixes.

My gaming son adores this keyboard! It works great and feels great and typing quality itself is the best! Looks awesome with the lights and good quality.
