RK ROYAL KLUDGERK61 Wireless 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Ultra-Compact 60 Keys Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard with Programmable Software (Blue Switch, White)

I moved to South America and I bought a couple of cheap(ish) mechanical keyboards for work. I have been using this one daily for almost five years, using it with my Mac Mini. The keys feel great to type on, the RGB (Or in my case, just blue) light can be toned down so that it is elegant and not "hit you over the face" with bright lights. I sometimes use it with my iPad, as it is pretty easy to switch between bluetooth devices. It is fairly light, but I don't really travel with this very often, so it's not a factor for me. I'm happy that it has lasted this long, didn't expect it considering its somewhat low price (At least compared to other wireless mechanical keyboards). Will happily buy another one when this one eventually breaks.

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.

Kids used it for games with friends. Work well for them. Good price

I bought this for super cheap when they were doing a sale. The cool blue backlight is pleasing to the eye. The backlighting effects are neat but unnecessary in my opinion. The RK blue clicky switches are very similar to gateron blues: Not so loud that it annoys me to type on, just a satisfying tactile click. It's still to much noise for an office environment though. I have installed dampeners that prevent the keycaps from bottoming out so it makes even less noise, but it's still more audible than say a cherry mx or gateron brown.I use this keyboard (almost) expressly for my cellphone for texting, social media, or whatnot. It stays plugged in most of the time to a charger. So I have to turn on the bluetooth which is quite easy. It also is connected to my iPad and PC; and switching between them is a simple FN+Q,FN+W,or FN+E. And that works much better and reliably faster than any bluetooth headphones I've ever owned.I do have a couple of gripes:1. It will only stay connected via bluetooth before disconnecting for one minute without touching a key. Then I have to hit a key to get it to reconnect. My SK61 board is closer to 5 mins and more preferable. I wish that was adjustable.2. The switch to turn on the Blutooth is on the back. Kind of annoying when you're not used to it. I wish there was a hot-key combo that powers it on and off like other keyboards.3. When switched on, it does NOT save the setting of having the arrow keys (ALT,MENU,CTRL, and ?) turned off. You have to turn it off to use a question mark for typing EVERY SINGLE TIME. This combo is (FN+enter). A minor, but noteworthy gripe.4. The case and keycaps are CHEAP. The case looks like a piece of cheap plastic that does not belong on a decent mechanical keyboard, and will probably shatter if dropped. The keycaps are the same. Although the font is easy to read, and the shine-through is nice, it feels like you're typing on plastic wrap. I don't know if it's the ABS material or not. But they kinda suck. So I had to swap those out. Otherwise, this is a decent keyboard and decent value

It's been a good keyboard for me. I wanted to try out a 60% layout on my desk with limited space without breaking bank and this was the perfect option. After using the keyboard for a few years I've grown adjusted to the layout but every so often I get annoyed having to remember what shortcut was for what key so I think I'll switch back to a larger keyboard.
