Lightly Documented Feature Unlocks Full Functionality

This clicky-clacky little number does a fine job at providing a more satisfyingly tactile experience than your usual Bluetooth keyboard. Lots of reviews (and the product description!) suggest that you need to do some goofy key combos to get normal characters like question marks, but hidden in the manual is this handy paragraph: “Press FN+Shift (shift on the right side of the keyboard), Arrow keys turn into the second function. Press FN+Shift again, arrow keys function recovery.” Not the best translation, but it does mean you can toggle the arrow keys with a simple keyboard combo. I’ve attached a picture of the entire manual for the convenience of other potential buyers. And honestly, I recommend it. This keyboard is a steal at this price. It’s probably not the perfect gaming keyboard and your co-workers will murder you if you try to bring it to the office, but it’s a very functional device that’s a lot of fun for casual use. It also seems to be pretty trivial to customize, with easily swappable keycaps and a whole universe of little nerdy doo-dads to get the typing experience of your dreams. One imagines the more expensive models are even better if you’re trying to be some kind of Pro Gamer or you can’t type on anything less than actual ivory keys hand carved by patient artisans in a foreign country, but for the rest of us, it’ll do quite nicely. Also the whole thing lights up and makes you feel like you’re in a cheap Matrix knock-off movie, which is cool.

I am extremely pleased with how it looks

Received on time, in proper condition. I am extremely pleased with how it looks. If you are lookin for a quality, yet budgeted, 60% keyboard( in white) this is the way to go. I use mine for gaming, whilst connected via micro usb. Easily swapable key caps, which I swapped out immediately( personal preference . All in all I’d buy again, and recommend to anyone getting into the 60 percent keyboard game. (Not as preferred for writing, or speed typing, right off of the bat. After two weeks I’m fully adjusted, though my large hands could have played into the struggle/ delay of learning)

Nice quality, small keyboard for touch typists in a small workspace.

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.

which i personally do like. It helps if you need to travel and ...

This keyboard is a 61 key desgin with blue mechanical keys, yellow lighting, and wireless functionality. In this review, I will be talking about the build/design, the blue mechanical switches, and the lighting. Build The build is very compact, which i personally do like. It helps if you need to travel and you want to bring a good keyboard for work or gaming. Unless you definitely need a number pad, having a smaller design should not make a big difference to you. Sadly, the keyboard is made fully out of glossy plastic. There is one input for charging/wired use, and a on and off switch for the Bluetooth functionality. Mechanical Swtiches These switches are knock off cherry blue switches. being a knock off doesn't mean they are bad. In fact, these switches have a very satisfying click and help create a better typing experience. In particular, the space bar makes a distinctly different noise than all of the keys, which gets surprising annoying while typing. For all those people that do not know mechanical switches, I'll leave a quick explanation of most switches below. These switches are very nice for typing and long hours of usage, but I highly recommend getting a different switch for gaming such as red or brown Lighting Now, we all know the craze for rgb keyboards, but there is only so much we can ask for in a $40 wireless mechanical keyboard. There is yellow lighting with adjustable brightness. Sadly there are no effects with these lights and yellow is the only color for the black version. The lights do look very good during all times of the day, and shut off when you have not used the keyboard for a certain amount of time. Overall, this keyboard is a very nice compact design, which some extra bells and whistles we all want to have. I highly recommend buying this item for everyday use and travel use.This product was sent to me for no charge in exchange for my honest review.

very comfortable

I bought the red version. very comfortable. no complaints the setting does take a bit of time, and unfortunately they didn't do a good job of documenting it. but Hey, Google is your friend. a quick Google Search solves most. of your problems. note that with different version, swapping between the arrow mode takes different methods. on mine (2020 July shipped) , it's Fn+Enter (written in the little manual), where someone on amazon review reported other methods for possibly an earlier version. what really drove me nuts is the design for the question mark "/?". I used "Fn+ENTER" to switch it off arrow mode. apparently the left arrow becomes OPT , not ALT as is printed on the caps. right arrow is correctly control. I don't use two. so it's more convenient for me to keep the arrows in arrow mode. but that leaves the /? a thorny issue. in fact even in arrow mode, if you press "shift+/" , the keyboard does send out "?" hard keycode to computer. the only issue is "/". at last I just let the keyboard send out up arrow, and in Mac, I used Karabiner to attach a custom rule for this RK61 so I convert up arrow to "/". Then where do I get my up arrow? I created a complex rule to map Fn+O to up arrow. luckily there are many letter keys not yet mapped to functions. ----- on my Magic Keyboard I map the left Fn+hjkl to arrows, but unfortunately Fn+hjkl on RK61 have been implemented to send out hard electric signals for END/HOME etc to Mac, but Mac simply does not recognize these, so it's a waste

Great portable wireless mechanical keyboard.

I’m typing my review on this keyboard. I got the white one with the blue switches (I think they are Kailh Blues) and I’m pretty impressed with this keyboard for the price. Many of the reviews on this products complain about the weird placement of the arrow keys and combined functions of other keys, but in reality that the nature of most 60% keyboards. The wireless connection is solid, although using it without a cord for gaming introduces a good amount of input lag (blues are crap for gaming anyway). There seems to be an older version and an updated one, the updated one has some more ergonomic key combos to activate certain functions, and also have a USB-C cable, which is much preferable to a micro USB. Make sure you guys look at the manual and keep it in case you can't remember some of the unmarked key presses, such as ctrl + enter to disable the arrow keys. Typing on this keyboard is very satisfying, with a nice click and feedback every time you press a key. The keys are well spaced, and they each have enough heft so they can’t be pressed by accident. Someone with larger hands shouldn’t have much trouble using this to type. Also due to its size it is pretty easy to carry around in bag if you are trying to use it as a portable keyboard. I also like the fact that you can pair it to 3 separate devices at once and switch between them very easily. The backlighting is pretty great, especially when typing in the dark. All the other lighting mode other than the standard one are a little too flashy though. I usually just turn it off to save battery, which has been pretty good so far. I’m also using this on a iPad and it paired really easily and has had 0 problems with it so far. Make sure to switch to Mac mode from the Windows mode or vice versa. (Ctrl + A or ctrl + S) The downsides of this keyboard are the key legend which is a little cheesy, as well as how loud it is (that’s the nature of all blue switches though). Also if you listen closely beyond the loud clicking of the keys, there is some metallic pinging that can be heard. It isn't the greatest sounding thing in the world, but is mostly drowned out by the clickiness of the keys. Overall this is a great and rather discrete looking keyboard that is great value. Hopefully reliability is good, will update if anything happens to it. Buy this if you are considering it. EDIT: They are Outemu blues

Small but functional gaming keyboard

This keyboard is 61% the size of a standard keyboard. They've removed the right-hand keypads to reduce the size, although you can use a Fn key on what remains to replicate what has been removed. But for a gaming keyboard, the numeric keypad isn't all that useful so it isn't missed. The keys clack nicely. If you want a silent kb, this isn't it. We got the Blue switches, nice and sensitive. The 14-year-old whose kb this now is really likes it. He figured out the light show programming and thinks it is fantastic. It isn't RGB (multiple color) but even so, it is very eye-catching. A decent kb, longevity yet to be learned, but so far, worth it. The kid's happy so I'm happy.

Unbeatable for the price.

After much searching, I finally decided to pull the trigger on and RK61. I had trouble finding anything for the price, wired or not. Those devices that were close in price, were wired, didn't have comparable features, or were simply ugly. Given the price point, I was skeptical, but after several weeks, I can happily report a happy purchase. The only issue I encountered was mentioned in the reviews, there was a very noticeable wobble, as one of the four rubber pads on the underside, was slightly more recessed than the other three. The quick and easy fix was prying up the pad with a knife point, removing the adhesive pad (shown in picture) and adding a couple dabs of hot glue, before pressing the rubber pad back in. I then flipped the keyboard over and pressed gently to make sure it leveled with the other three. Presto, no more wobble, I hope this helps if anyone was on the fence for that reason. Bluetooth range is good, I can easily use the keyboard across the room. Bluetooth compatibility in windows and a recent linux distro has been great, no pairing issues. One quick hotkey swaps between wired and wireless modes. You can easily cycle through the backlight modes, or turn them off entirely. I tend to use a constant glow on lowest brightness, and at least for me it's not overpowering in a dark room. The swapping between number keys/ arrow key, and their default functions takes a bit of getting used to, but after you adapt it's not a problem. Check images in customer reviews for the hotkey settings that allow you to swap between. I had an odd issue where Num Lock was enabled by default on delivery. It took me a few minutes to figure out what the issue was, and that there is no way to toggle this setting from the RK61 at least from what I've found. Solution for me was a backup keyboard used to deselect the lock. It hasn't re-occurred, just make sure you have another keyboard handy when you're setting up. Haven't used the keyboard for gaming as of yet, but I will update the review once I've tested the keyboard for rollover. 5-key is what was advertised, I can attest to at least three, by nature of several hotkey functions built into the firmware.

Convenience and considerable tactile feedback.

I've never been a fan of touchscreens, or chiclet keyboards for that matter. Being on a bit of a budget, I looked on here to see what I could find without breaking the bank. This keyboard is seriously ace, and convenient to boot. The ability to switch between devices means that I have one keyboard hooked up to my tablet, PS4, and computer and can switch between them with the press of two buttons without having to pair again. The tactile feedback from the blue switches is exactly what I wanted. I generally use buckling spring keyboards, so the blue switches are the closest I can find for wireless products.

Comfortable to use and PORTABLE for everyday use!!!

Best wireless keyboard ever! I have many to choose from, but I find myself gravitating to this keyboard! It’s the PERFECT size and the lighted keys help me use it at night at home and at work. I’ve received many questions and compliments on it while working and using it at STARBUCKS and PEETS coffee shops. Many who have questions; hear the clicking keys and I tell them all, that it’s nice to get that feedback when working. The battery life is EXCELLENT and being to charge it via MICRO USB helps keep the out of pocket cost to a minimal. Also, I’ve lost several keyboards due to ALKALINE batteries leaking and ruining them!!!!
