RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wired 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact Hot-Swappable Red Switch White

It’s good for now my son is loving it so far.

everything is perfect. great size, super bright, many different color settings, its super cute, the switches sound good it even comes with extra ones. perfect for a smaller gaming setup

I purchased this keyboard for my son which he absolutely loved. Until it stopped working and it was passed the return window. I reached out to RK ROYAL KLUDGE and received top notch customer service. It took a few days after troubleshooting and emailing back and forth but it was concluded it needed to be replaced. They also offered a refund but I chose replacement as my son really wanted it. Thank you RK ROYAL KLUDGE!

This keyboard has 66 keys which takes up less space than a traditional keyboard. I switched from a 88 key keyboard with blue switches and I can say that the red and brown switches sound so satisfying on this keyboard. It also comes with RGB!

Edit: So shortly after my review they reached out to me offering me a replacement keyboard and a bunch of help they didnt even have to do and it was extremely appreciated. Their customer support is on point! The more time I spend with the RK61 the more I enjoy it. The software issues have gone away and the keyboard works flawlessly. Ive also updated the review with pictures. Im using Akko Crystal Clear switches which make the RGB brighter and it looks perfect, these switches have a bit more thock than the brown switches I chose for the RK61. The stock brown switches do sound great too. I plan on getting blank keycaps, a custom spacebar and call it the day. People ask how I type so fast, I just say its because Im using the RK61 and it feels amazing to type with. So I was extremely displeased with this purchase when I originally received the RK61 which Ill explain in this review. After a few more days with this keyboard, it has actually grown on me. Ill separate this review in 2 sections, pros and cons. Pros: R61 is a great beginner keyboard for those getting into mechanical keyboards such as myself due to its mod potential and price. I purchased the version with brown tactile switches which I eventually swapped out to the akko crystal clear tactile 5 pin switches (makes the RGB appear brighter too). The original switches and keycaps feel amazing stock and sound fantastic. The board itself doesnt feel too heavy nor too light but just sturdy enough for its size that gives it a great satisfying feel. 60% leaves a lot of space on my desk which I need for gaming and also allows me enough space to get a regular sized keyboard if I ever choose to for my set up. I do plan on doing more mods later down the line such as bandaid mod, lubing, styrofoam, etc. when I feel more comfortable approaching those mods. Cons: The worst part of this keyboard is the software. The software actually doesnt work at all and shows a no matching device found with no fix. There are You Tube videos that provide links to different softwares that work with the RK61 {which do feel sketchy} but work nonetheless. Another big drawback are they fn functions short cuts. For example it took me a couple hours to realize that I have to use the right shift to type the ? which is extremely counter intuitive. The delete function requires pressing 3 separate keys which is also counter intuitive and there isnt any way to change this in the softwares Ive mentioned in this segment. The last huge drawback for me is that sometimes when I start my PC and start doing what ever Im doing, I notice the keyboard isnt working properly or is glitched out where the keys arent activating or the secondary keys are activating without me pressing fn or shift. The only fix for this is to reset they keyboard by pressing and holding fn + spacebar for 5 seconds. All of this information I had to research myself.. Lastly, the RGB lights arent bright at all but changing to the akko crystal clear switches, made the RGB appear more brighter. I may or may not swap to pudding keycaps to make the RK61 brighter. For $40 (sale and $4 coupon) this couldve been slightly better in terms of quality, especially for how much YouTubers hype up this keyboard. However after giving this keyboard a chance Ive started enjoying the RK61. I do suggest trying out some mods for the RK61 and there are ways to make the RGB brighter if that is a deciding factor for you. Im rating this 3 stars because the hardware and price is great but the software and glitches definitely bring down the quality of the RK61.

I would recommend this keyboard to absolutely anybody who is a gamer but needs easier access to the keys. The keys themselves feel and sound nice along with amazing backlighting to make the keys pop. This keyboard however isn’t without flaw though however most of the flaws are very minor. For instance there is somewhat of a limitation on the RGB you can have. Obviously you are given a good amount of options however many of these options you will most likely never use as they aren’t practical. This is of course not a huge deal but its still somewhat a problem. There is also of course the key design. This problem isn’t really a problem specific to this keyboard however if you are getting a 60% just know that playing any game that often uses Function keys is going to be much more difficult and inconvenient. Once again this isn’t even necessarily a problem it’s just something to know when you’re buying a 60% keyboard. Overall if you are looking for an affordable high quality keyboard this is an amazing option that you should take into high consideration. I have used this keyboard for 4 months with next to no issues it’s a beautiful piece that I once again would recommend to anyone.

Bought for my son. He loves it, and it looks pretty cool from what I can see.. goes well with his light up mouse, desk, and led lit room.

I love the fact that it is so easy to modify, and customize. It is the perfect starting keyboard for someone who wants to customize it.

This products is a Chinese created product, finding the software in English is a pain. The keyboard is great, I had a defective key on my first go around with this product which was refunded asap. This keyboard is a great minimalistic solution for gaming. Also has the option to be modded fairly easy!
