HK Gaming GK61 vs Royal Kludge RK84

I didn't do anything to the clicks keyboard. This white one. All i did was spray lube, the gatorade silver optical switches and then the black one. He...

That attention to detail is important. The wireless dongle, again while present does have a very short range. The Royal is smaller than the K2 and I have big hands, so I felt a bit cramped when typing. No issues at all with that on the K2

So again, I don't know. Is it this new technology? That's coming out, we'll have to see how it plays out, but it's pretty cool right now, alright, so ...

.), but probably due to the ABS keycaps. Anyway, I replaced the switches with kailh speed Bronze and some PBT keycaps and everything feels right afterward

This keyboard definitely meets that need, while being aesthetically stylish and feeling very responsive. The board its self is a nice 61-key compact keyboard. This means no F1-F12 keys, no arrow keys, no Home/Insert/Delete/Print Screen keys, and no ten key. The footprint it leaves on your desk is as small as it possibly can be without sacrificing basic needs in a keyboard and it's very pleasing because of it

I liked the all white design and that you can remove the outer frame to give the keycaps "floating" appearance. I *really* appreciate the fact that it is BOTH dongle and bluetooth wireless. I work on a macbook by day, and game on a PC by night, so this is a feature I've been looking for in a keyboard for awhile. (I have a mouse that does it and it's amazing

The skates are thicker than the Mira and have a smoother glide. The overall build quality feels great, no creaking or flexing or anything funky like that. The weight comes in at 59g with no holes in the side which is pretty impressive for a mouse this size. The main clicks are 20m omron and feel great, there is a tiny amount of post travel but nothing that I would ever notice while gaming or normal use as you have to press down rather hard and hold to actually notice it

pros: keyboard looks great -decent customization -good feel to it -no deck flex -small and compact cons: 2.4 ghz dongle has absolutely no range unless you plug it into a usb extender( i don’t know why but it worked once i plugged it in to a usb 3.0 or 2.0 extender no i can go a couple feet from it ) -software is well pretty useless the keyboard has all the short cuts that do everything the software does - i have yet to try the bluetooth but if the dongle doesn’t work well i can imagine the bluetooth will -i have gotten a replacement with the same issues so it’s not that i just got a bad keyboard or something like that because it had the exact same issue (not a con but just something i felt should be noted) -customer service is non existent(sent an message to them through amazon and got no response so i went though amazon’s support) - also weirdly enough the replacement worked even worse (now i have to send the replacement back and i’ll probably just deal with the usb extension even though that’s really not what i wanted to have to do)

You are going to be at the mercy of some poor team of programmers who were given a day to create it.

Fix: (downloading the latest software that correlates with your product should automatically update the firmware, so this section is if your keyboard continues to have issues) 1. Turn off keyboard and plug it into your computer 2. From the software, Reset factory data 3. Restore factory settings 4

When I found this keyboard, I was surprised that it was this cheap for a 60% with Gateron switches. Upon receiving the keyboard, I immediately tried to customize the lighting on the keyboard, and just like how the reviews I watched on YouTube said - the keyboard's software wasn't good. I couldn't put custom hex codes, even though there were places in the software to do so. In the end, I stuck with just a plain white backlight

Looks just fine in the dark however, which is when the lighting is really needed. Tiny nitpick - the Mac toggle would be better if the WIN/ALT keys also had command and option labels underneath, no extra caps came with the board to help with this either. Also there's no INSERT key shortcut anywhere that I can find. If you aren't going to make use of the two wireless modes and don't mind the slightly dim backlighting, get this board

The key caps feel really cheap because they are cheap. The stabilizers are loose and my space bar didn't even work. It's cool how you can swap switches and key caps but I'd spend a little more money and get a quality keyboard over a cheap keyboard that has a lot of gimmicks. I'd recommend spending your money on Kemove which has better quality parts and you can swap switches

I also wanted it to show up the next day, so keep in mind that these thoughts also include that I searched primarily on Amazon (which may or may not have limited me here, although I didn’t feel that it did based on the options I found on YouTube and other forums as well). The selection on Amazon is quite decent for boards in this price range.

It is slightly heavier now, which is what I want, in order to achieve a more thocky sound. The additional weight comes from the car sound dampening foam. If you’re on the fence about grabbing a 60% keyboard for cheap and want to mod it, this is a good move for beginners not wanting to break the bank.

I just bought the Royal Kludge RK84 (80%) with hot swappable brown switches. Not sure how to explain it well, but the keys are much heavier than my Keychron K2 w/ Gateron Browns. It's kind of tiring to type quickly for extended periods of time.
