Review: An absolute gem of a 60% keyboard. - Well, I’ve been after a small white mechanical wireless keyboard for some time now, intended. It to look at desertcart in my hunt as when you type the parameters “gaming” and “keyboard” into the search, the amount of pure rubbish that turns up is incredible. However when I read a top 10 list of 60% keyboards on a trusted review site and this guy featured, I thought I’d take a look. When it arrived I was amazed at the quality. For less than £50 I thought it was gonna be a bit cheap feeling, but actually it’s expensive feeling. It has a solid chassis, next to no deck flex or twist. The actuation of the key switch set is fantastically clicky and tactile (if that’s what you’re after), and even though it’s Bluetooth ive not noticed any discernible input latency (though I’m not a competitive shooter kinda guy or anything). I’ve been using for over a week now and apart from the initial charge, only charged it once (after 5 days of fairly heavy use), which took no time at all due to its usb-c interface, which can also be used to make it wired. The blue backlight is excellent. It can be super bright if you want, but I turn it right down to lowest and it’s still great. Each key is individually lit and can be individually turned on or off, and there are many different lighting patterns. Colour cannot change though, it’s cyan all the time, but looks really well implemented. The one I have is the American key layout, so if you’re set on UK layout then this isn’t for you, but I just changed my windows language settings to add “English (US)” as well as “English (UK)” so I had the option to change my keyboard language to match the RK61’s key layout. It’s very easy to get used to. Overall I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend anyone to give this board a go. It really did surprise me.
