I got so fed up with bluetooth keyboards that crap out on battery, so I bought this and a hardshell case for it, and a cheap usb-c hub (so I can use a mouse as well) and it works great!The brown keys are pretty quiet and responsive. I don't know if there is a bluetooth connection option, as I am not bothering to even try, so I cannot speak to any aspect of that side of the experience (if there is one), but it comes with a USB C to USB C cable (that has an attachable USB A head in case your computer/device doesn't use USB C).It's a fantastic keyboard. The keys are spaced like a traditional keyboard, so there's no awkward adjustment phase to worry about.I also own a red key RK61 and I will say: that one has an issue with almost being too-responsive for typing. Gaming? Works great. Typing? There are so many errors and accidental presses that it's hard to manage.So if you're a writer, looking for a quality but cheap keyboard, choose the brown keys.Also, that spacebar makes a really satisfying plunk sound. That's barely worth noting, but still! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice keyboard now that you can program it with QMK/VIA *by on Reviewed in the United States November 8, 2024* I have two of these. The newer one is better.I bought a previous version of this keyboard in 2023, a version that was configured either through proprietary RK software or via key combinations. It drove me nuts! I'd fat-finger some keys and BOOM, stuff on the keyboard was changed. And unlike the new version of the RK61, I couldn't program away the awful configuration key combos using RK's software. The reset key combo (Fn-SPACE) got LOTS of use. If RK made all configuration key combos require a press-and-hold timeout like the reset key combo, no problem, but ALL OTHER configuration key combos took hold the millisecond the keys were pressed. That, and the south-of-wonderful RK software that only let me program some of the keys, were deal breakers for me. The keyboard went into a drawer.Fast forward to today: this 2024 keyboard is now configurable via QMK/VIA and it's AMAZING. First course of action when I hooked it up: program away the configuration key combos. No more fat-fingered reconfigs! In every other way, the new RK61 is like the old one, but now that I can actually use the thing without accidentally reconfiguring it, I'm a very happy customer. It's a sturdy, classy, fun keyboard, and I highly recommend it to folks that aren't too picky about their mechanical keyboards. I'm sure there are better boards out there, but come on, at this price point? With these features? This one's a winner (just be very careful that you order the one that specifically says it's programmable with QMK/VIA. Some listings on this site don't say that. Buyer beware!). ## Frequently Bought Together - RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wired 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Programmable QMK/VIA RGB Backlit 61 Keys Ultra-Compact Hot Swappable Brown Switch Black - Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac - Brecoy Japanese Sea Wave Large Mouse Pad, Anime Black Gaming, Extended Kanagawa Mat Desk Pad, 3mm Thick Long Non-Slip Rubber Base Mice Pad, 31.5 X 11.8 Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/218827622-rk-royal-kludge-rk61-wired-60-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-programmable](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/218827622-rk-royal-kludge-rk61-wired-60-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-programmable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
