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

I'm a founder of a technology startup that writes code for 12-16 hours per day. For the past 9 months I had been using an old, 100% sized, gaming mechanical keyboard. It was serviceable, but it was absolutely massive and was impossible to center on my desk as it would get in the way of my mouse. This caused me to have to twist my body to the left to type and over time it caused discomfort in my back and neck.I finally decided to look for an alternative and fell down the rabbit hole of high-end, split keyboards. I would have gotten one, but they are in the ball park of $300-$450 and I just couldn't justify that price at this point in time. I decided to take a look on Amazon for an affordable option and came across this listing. It was on sale for around $45 and seemed to be an incredible deal for the value. The fancy USB-C cable with the metal adapter was a feature I only ever saw on high-end keyboards and it had both Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wireless options.I audibly laughed when I opened the packaging as the keyboard is substantially smaller than my old keyboard. It made my old keyboard seem silly in comparison. This keyboard has a nice weight to it and was compact enough to be able to easily fit into a backpack for mobile use. This keyboard is my first experience with red linear switches and it has been wonderful. I barely have to put any effort into pressing the keys and the compact size means I can actually reliably press the number keys without having to double check which keys I'm pressing. I haven't noticed any latency between pressing keys and seeing text appear on the screen.I run Debian 12 Linux on my home desktop and the keyboard worked flawlessly without any setup. It took some time to get used to the multi-function keys but now it feels very natural and I don't miss the extra media keys I had on my old keyboard. One downside of this keyboard though, is the customization software for it is not available on Linux. The instruction manual is pretty decent; however, there is a typo for the English version where it says "Specaial Function Keys" instead of "Special Function Keys".In any case, this keyboard has been a pleasure to use and it's an incredible value for the money. I definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone looking to upgrade their computer setup without breaking the bank.

looks and works great so far!! had no problems connecting it to my pc both wirelessly and wired. very clicky keyboard which i love and has no input lag

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.
