Royal Kludge RK61 vs Keychron K2

Verdict

Overall, the Royal Kludge RK61 seems to be a decent entry-level mechanical keyboard with Bluetooth connectivity and backlighting. While it may not offer the same level of performance and features as more expensive keyboards, it is a good upgrade from a membrane keyboard. However, there are some usability issues and the quality of the keycaps and stabilizers may need to be improved. The blue light LED's and clicky switches may not be for everyone, but there are other switch options available. The keyboard is also prone to connectivity issues and latency when used wirelessly. Overall, the Royal Kludge RK61 is a solid choice for those on a budget or looking for a travel keyboard.

Verdict

Overall, the Keychron K2 has received mixed reviews. Some users love the keyboard and find it to be a pleasure to type on, while others feel that it is overpriced and feels cheaply made. The compact size and layout are praised by many, but some find the spacing on the keys to be off. Battery life is a common complaint, with some users only getting a few days of use before needing to recharge. The lack of an aluminum backplate on the base K2 is also a point of contention. However, the keyboard's multi-device support and Mac/PC compatibility are appreciated by many.
