RK61-DE

Well, I’ve been after a small white mechanical wireless keyboard for some time now, intended. It to look at Amazon in my hunt as when you type the parameters “gaming” and “keyboard” into the search, the amount of pure rubbish that turns up is incredible. However when I read a top 10 list of 60% keyboards on a trusted review site and this guy featured, I thought I’d take a look. When it arrived I was amazed at the quality. For less than £50 I thought it was gonna be a bit cheap feeling, but actually it’s expensive feeling. It has a solid chassis, next to no deck flex or twist. The actuation of the key switch set is fantastically clicky and tactile (if that’s what you’re after), and even though it’s Bluetooth ive not noticed any discernible input latency (though I’m not a competitive shooter kinda guy or anything). I’ve been using for over a week now and apart from the initial charge, only charged it once (after 5 days of fairly heavy use), which took no time at all due to its usb-c interface, which can also be used to make it wired. The blue backlight is excellent. It can be super bright if you want, but I turn it right down to lowest and it’s still great. Each key is individually lit and can be individually turned on or off, and there are many different lighting patterns. Colour cannot change though, it’s cyan all the time, but looks really well implemented. The one I have is the American key layout, so if you’re set on UK layout then this isn’t for you, but I just changed my windows language settings to add “English (US)” as well as “English (UK)” so I had the option to change my keyboard language to match the RK61’s key layout. It’s very easy to get used to. Overall I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend anyone to give this board a go. It really did surprise me.

Plus points; It's exactly as described. The charging and battery life appear good though the instructions are typically badly translated Chinese to English so care is needed when first charging and using. It refers to flashing lights on the keyboard to indicate if charging or full. If the keyboard is off it won't do this (or at least the one we got doesn't), it needs to to turned ON whilst charging (switch on underside). We waited for a long time for the signal to say it was full, then tried turning it one and it indicated full immediately. Has some interesting features including illuminated keys in different patterns according to choice. Responsive and works well in gaming, certainly with PS4 Pro in our case. On the downside the keys are incredibly noisy (old school sound) reminiscent of a 90's computer, the space bar is particularly loud being a larger key anyway. My son likes this and actually prefers it to a silent, beautifully made apple full size keyboard, but hey each to their own. So to sum up, does what we wanted, reasonable price I guess, not cheap. Well made. Responsive. Only time will tell how durable it is but for about £8-00 we took up the offer of damage and fault insurance cover for three years so hopefully no worries for a while.

I didn't realise when purchasing that it did not come in UK layout, but other than that, I think this is an excellent keyboard for the price. I had previously bought premium keyboards, but needed something portable and mainly for gaming, so grabbed the RK61. The key feel is very good, I feel no real compromise next to the numerous Cherry MX keyboards I've been used too, besides them feeling maybe marginally slower, but still satisfying to use. The battery life is strong and I've had no issues when using it wireless, tho I do tend to use it wired. The lack of keys and using the shortcuts to cycle through the layouts is quite frustrating, as is the US layout, but these are only issues for when I am working - when used for gaming, these issues aren't really a problem. Overall quality is fine - nothing special, but also does not feel cheap and has worn well in the couple of years I've been using it as a secondary keyboard and being chucked in bags etc. I probably will replace it and keep it as a spare / portable keyboard, purely because of the US layout.

So we looked all over the web and Amazon for this. Having looked at what appeared to be rebranded fakes and other keyboards my daughter said she wanted this on. 'Dad this is not the fake one, its meant to be just blue!, everyone has this one!' Yes its an American layout with the $ and smaller enter key. Yes its only a Blue Led and not RGB. Yes its micro usb connected. Yes its blue switches and not the quieter brown. However she loves it. It looks great, the lights have different patterns on the start up and during use. Its well made, its a great size and it comes boxed with extra switches and tools. I paid the extra £8 for 3 years accidental damage warranty to cover against the spilt drink and duff key in 2+ years time. Getting this in total for around £67+ is still a great price when compared to other 'branded' mini keyboards out there that she looked at also. Royal Kludge, so far you look great, she states you play great also. Thanks

They keyboard is great the key are very durable amazing lights very sleek design. I have had the kay board nearly 2 years now and i fi some reason had a problem with the w and s keys a couple short emails later and they are happily sending me a replacement. I decently recommend this keyboard.

Perfect little keyboard. Not metal board inside but still sturdy. No number pad: This might be a pro if you're looking for something small. I would strongly recommend to consider the RK ROYAL KLUDGE. The cable is usb-c connected to the keyboard which is nice. Easy to use, lots of functionality! Great tactile feel, i love it! They have really good switches (blue switches) and they feel great. Clean compact design. Worth the money. GOOD! PLEASE BUY IT!

Update The seller got in touch following my review and will hopefully update the instructions. They genuinely seemed to care about our experience, which is why I've added a star. Worth noting that function key and space bar resets the keyboard. Original review Got this for my son's birthday. The instructions are truly awful. After we managed to connect it, we had two issues: 1. Some letters didn't seem to work, including letters u and I. 2.The number keys didn't work. After much research, I discovered that the keyboard has an option to use the central keys for specific commands e.g print screen. This should be turned off by default. Found the key shortcut and they worked. Similarly with the number keys, once I found the shortcut I got them working. The instructions also don't tell you how long it takes to charge and the battery life. Overall it seems to be a good keyboard let down badly by poor instructions.

Very good

Le seul défaut à donner c'est que c'est compliquer à utiliser en bureautique mais pour le gaming c'est parfait , et que les touches se salissent un peu vite

This keyboard is absolutely perfect in every way. The build quality feels premium, the keys are responsive and comfortable, and the overall design is sleek and practical. It delivers exactly what you’d expect and more, no complaints whatsoever. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliability and performance.

英語USキーボード配列で、コンパクトさと安価、それでいてしっかりとした打鍵を望むなら検討する価値あります。 なにより接続が USBだけでなくBluetooth 接続可能で３台切り替え付き（Bluetooth電源のオンオフは背面）。 付属のUSBケーブルは1.5mほどでしなやかなケーブルなので取り回しも良い。 LEDのイルミネーションは少し過剰だが、イエロー一色（黒キーボード）なのでわるくない。 打鍵に合わせて光るモードもあり、気分に合わせてイルミネーションを選んで楽しめる。 取扱説明書が英語と中国語のみなので、一部の特殊な組み合わせキーに戸惑う人もいると思う。 一部のキー、特に「/ ?」と「` ~」を入力するにはコツがいります。 「/ ?」は、カーソルキーの上矢印と兼用で、デフォルトでは、上矢印になっているため、 Fn キーと組み合わせる必要があるが、「/ ?」は比較的よく使うので、おそらくこれは使いにくい。 Fn キーと右シフトを１回押すと、このモードが逆転するので、デフォルトが「/ ?」になり カーソル操作が Fn キーとの組み合わせになる。 「` ~」 は、ESCキーと兼用で、こちらは、「/ ?」のようにデフォルトを入れ替える機能はない。 このため、必ず Fnキーと ESCキーを押すことで 「`」を入力し、 「~」の入力は、さらに難しく、最初に Shiftキーを押しながら、 Fnキーと ESCキーを押すことになる。 このときの Shiftキーは左右どちらでも良いが、右シフトキーを使う時に Fnキー先に押すと「/ ?」とカーソルキーの入れ替えが働いてしまう。 また、 数字キーとファンクションキーのデフォルトを入れ替えるには、Fnキーを押しながら左Ctrlキーを押すことで 数字キーとファンクションキー（正確にはFnキーを押してでてくるキー）が入れ替わる。 もう一度、Fnキーと左Ctrlキーを押すと、アルファベットキーに割り当てられたFnキーのキーが解除になり 数字キーとファンクションキーだけが入れ替わった状態になる。つまり３モードトグルになっている。 Fn キーと Windowsキーを押すと、Windowsキーがロックする仕掛けになっているが、必要な場面はわからない。 意外と便利なのが、Fnキーを押しながら Backspaceキーを押すと、Delete になっている点で、 これはほかのキーボードでもそうあってほしいと思うことがある。 USBとBluetoothの切り替えは、FnキーとTABキーを押し、ペアリングは FnキーとPキーを押す。 Bluetoothホスト機器の切り替えは、Fnキーを押しながら、Q, W, E のいずれかを押す。 LEDイルミネーションの明るさは、Fnキーを押しながら、 「[{」キーか「]}」キーを押す。 LEDイルミネーションの種類を選ぶには、Fnキーを押しながら、「\|」キー。 LEDイルミネーションの速度を変えるには、Fnキーを押しながら、「;:」キーか「'"」キーを押す。

This is my first budget board and keyboard with blue switches, so I cant say how it compares with others of that criteria but for the price I am very satisfied! The switches sound and feel great, the keyboard has a wonderful amount of heft, thanks to the metal mounting plate this thing has! The switches are some in-house switches marked with "RK" so they aren't the same Cherry clones seen everywhere else. The LEDs are the lower profile kind (not thru-hole) so i think you could easily mod this keyboard with other switches, but I haven't opened it up to check. The keycaps look very much so like doubleshot and are a very nice thickness, but I am unsure of the material. If I would guess I would say ABS, so they will likely shine over time. I had 0 problems with pairing it with my computer with the bluetooth so thats nice, but I am unsure of how good the battery life is on this board, as I just took it out of the box, tested it a bit, took off the keycaps and then started this review with the keyboard. As my first 60% it holds up very well and getting used to layers will be a bit different for me but so far for first impressions, I love this! TLDR; Build quality is higher than expected and I recommend this for around the price I got it for ($66 CAD).
