About RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 60% Mechanical Keyboard
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
77% highlighted the wrist rest, but 23% struggled
The wrist rest is a little too high for my comfort on my wrists.
The keyboard angle is not suitable for me without a wrist rest or super long fingers, making it hard to hit certain keys.
The angle of the keyboard keeps my hand under constant tension.
After ten minutes of gaming, my wrist feels strained due to the keyboard not being ergonomic.
87% found it exceptional, but 13% faced issues
The keyboard is compact and light enough to carry on the road.
I found the keyboard easy to use with a smaller layout and figured out the function keys easily.
I appreciate the small and compact layout of the keyboard, which is perfect for my small desk, while still having all the necessary keys found on a larger keyboard.
I need F keys and dedicated arrow keys on my keyboard for gaming as the layout did not work for me.
88% appreciated the key switch type
I still like the brown switches even though they are not as clicky as blue switches.
The keyboard is hotswappable and can change switches to other types, but it's recommended to be careful and do research beforehand.
I found the brown switch version perfect, with a slight resistance before a smooth downstroke.
I had to order the brown switch version instead of the red switch version because the red switches were too loud. The brown switch version feels amazing to type on.
89% liked the customization software, but 11% didn't.
The keyboard has many customization options for colors and RGB without the software.
I can customize each light on my keyboard using its own software.
I appreciate the RGB options and the software that allows for more customization.
Without the software, Mac OS users cannot access many features and customizations on the keyboard.

90% were satisfied with the build quality and durability, but 10% raised concerns
The build quality is great and the Red Optical switches have a nice feel. However, the spacebars stabilizer could be improved.
The keyboard has a solid build quality, even though it's made of plastic.
The build quality feels premium for the price. All three connection modes work perfectly and the battery lasts for at least 10 hours.
The build quality is top-notch with no flexing and it doesn't feel cheap.

90% were impressed with the backlighting, but 10% weren't
In bright environments, the backlight is not as bright as I hoped, but in darker settings, it is perfect.
I am impressed with the soft (but bright) backlighting of this keyboard, which has a smooth gradient and solid-color lighting modes in case I prefer simpler backlighting. Usually, I am unimpressed by the RGB lighting of most keyboards that fall in the <$100 range, as cheap lighting is often harsh and unappealing to me.
Sometimes the backlight of a certain key would start blinking.
I would have preferred a keyboard with a backlight that is solid or undulating at the same time as typing reactivity lights or patterns, but this keyboard does not do both at the same time.
