I’m honestly surprised, betty has such a loud energetic persona in her new vids, but in this one shes more quiet and serious! Its amazing to see how much she had changed!
Tbh I prefer the more serious tone, but maybe that's just personal preference. I think I would prefer something between bring super out there like in the new vids and the serious tone here. But I really do appreciate how she tries to hype up the audience!!
Fr tho
HAHAHAHHA. same.
got me scared and wondering if this is the real betty
Frl thats what I was thinking
Not to mention, the RK61 pairs with 3 devices and swaps between them easily. It takes to modding very well too. Once you lube the stabs and foam the case, it sounds really good
Yeah. Only problem I'm facing with it is that the case is non standard, so as of yet no one sells alternative ones, so you can't mod the case (unless you want to dye it. Getting an aluminium case is a no go tho)
@Jesus loves you all hail satan
Can I just ask how good it is in terms of gaming? I’m currently using a Fantech K511 Hunter Pro, since it is wired, I don’t worry about the latency issues because it really bugs me when I type and especially when I game. I’m just wondering if there are any problems regarding latency.
@@itskalbtw bluetooth is never reliable
@@ExtremeMusicPromotion alr man, thanks for the answer, appreciate it.
can i just say that you are so underrated for the amazing high-quality content you put out >< honestly!! i'm particularly new to this keyboard thing and i've decided buy this keyboard and settle seriously down after carelessly buying a cheap keyboard not knowing that they had blue switches 😭 and i have been looking around youtube trying to find informational reviews and so far i only found yours! thank you sm for the in-depth reviews you upload, you're basically now my to-go youtube channel when it comes to mechanical keyboards!
I've wanted to switch from membrane to mechanical for a while now and since I'm still learning about mechanical keyboards, I heard about this one and how it was budget friendly and this review was it. Awesome review!
Glad I could help!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial hi
Love the sounds,very clicky,amazing for keyboard ASMR, definitely going to buy this on my birthday ^^
thank you so much for not speaking super piercing and loud but instead softly, but still clear :) finally no headaches.
Hello there! Just wanna say thanks to your channel I discovered this keyboard and it is my favourite keyboard ever! It is so underrated and compared to the Keychron K6 hot swappable which I got around the same time (i only discovered RK after I ordered my Keychron), I was totally blown away by this in terms of budget, built and typing/usability experience. I love that it is compatible for Windows and Mac as well.
Happy to hear that!
Thank you for the video, I just placed the order of this keyboard yesterday and I already heard so many good things about it, cant wait to try it on!!
Hope you enjoy it!
U helped me alot because mine is coming tomorrow and i just wanted to know some stuff about it great video🔥
Watched your video. Went out and bought the RK61 today for around $40. I got the white one with brown switches. And i must say, so far i love it! The longer keys seem to be really well stabilised on my unit. little to no rattle anywhere. Love the vibrance on the LEDs, although i kinda wish they were brighter. Been using it in wired and BT mode for the past 4 hours, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how responsive the BT connection is with my 2020 Mac Mini (the 2020 intel mac mini is infamous for its shoddy bluetooth, and my unit is a particularly fucked up one) Ive ordered a set of white PBT keycaps online already and ill be switching over to them once they arrive.
again, cheers for the review and keep up the amazing work!
lil update after using this for a full work day - works great on my mac. For some reason it identifies as "Apple USB Device" which made me lol.
It *claims* to be using bluetooth 5.1, which i find hard to believe since my built in BT receiver is BT4.0 (lol) buuut after almost 8 hours of using it over BT, I'm glad to report that I've had literally zero connection dropouts (thats rare for me using the apple BT keeb).
Digging the RGB.
Ive got almost all my macros remapped to work with the 60% layout already.
Tried the official software on my windows machine. very 90s shitty UI, but I love the ability to customise the RGB per key. Unfortunately, it seems like i can't use the keyboard shortcut to increase backlight brightness once I've set a lighting layout using the software.
I plan on adding some foam to the inside tomorrow, not that my particular unit needs it very much tbh, theres VERY little pinging.
So I've had some time to break the keyboard in. I found it suuuper annoying that the keyboard kept defaulting to having the arrow keys on the top layer every time i switched the board off and back on. I tried changing this behaviour with the included software and found it impossible to change those particular keys (alt gr, app, rt ctrl, slash). SOOOOO I just ended up flipping the behaviour of the keys on macOS through karabiner. Works like a charm now.
Oh and just a couple of things I've noticed -
1. changing the backlight brightness using the RK software fucks with the on-board backlight controls until you turn the board off and on again.
2. I am very aware that QC on these cheapo boards are absolute trash but thank fuck the board I received has surprizingly stable bluetooth! Of course theres there regular bluetooth lag, but considering how atrocious the lag on my other bt peripherals are on this machine, I'm very happy.
3. I really wasnt digging the RK logo on the front. Ended up taking it off with q tips and a lil bit of nail polish remover. worked like a charm.
4. the stock keycaps have a slightly frosted shinethrough. Ive found that the diffusion is kinda necessary for the RGB to actually look good. If you guys are getting custom shinethrough keycaps, make sure that the transparent bits are diffused/frosted.
5. as much as I'm digging the board, keep in mind that the actual case is made from ABS plastic, and it will get scratched to high hell and back.
I think this is going to be my last update, unless I find something weird or quirky about the board. again, thank you Betty for recommending the board, you guys do some awesome work on this channel!
Thanks Betty! I was looking for a budget keyboard that doesn't sound too loud and I unknowingly entered the space of custom keebs and I got interested, but I don't think I'll be making my own anytime soon because it costs a lot. RK should sponsor you cause you just made me buy this keyboard 😂
I have the rk71 and love it. Had fun changing out the switches and keys.
I bought this keyboard 2 months ago, honestly I loved it so far! It’s my first keyboard that I have bought for my computer.
When you make your energetic vids it just makes my day and to see the reviews you do where you go deep into the details
Thank you!
Just got mine today! My first Mechanical Keyboard. Really excited to use it!! Nice video by the way. Kudos!
Nice! Thanks for the support
Nice update. Nice to see it came with wire keycap puller now. It used to only come with plastic ring puller
I love this review! You are so underrated
Thank you so much!
Just got the one with the red switches. Thank you so much your review really helped me.
Glad I could help!
How are you liking it so far?
@@anthony3953 it’s been great so far, hasn’t worn down too much and pretty much what I expected from the review. Overall great keyboard!
@@motionshortstv yeah I decided to order it last night and I got it this morning lol can’t beat prime shipping
@@anthony3953 haha, good one
Just bought 2 of these for me and my gf because of your review :) Been going through a lot of your videos as I'm looking to try a mechanical board (currently on a G915 TKL which is great but wanted to try a compact mech board!). So thank you!
First time mechanical keyboard user here. I just got the red switches keyboard for office typing but I am spending it back and get the brown switches. The red causes me to make lots of mistakes because it is really fast and smooth. I figured out that I like the tactile feel on keyboards because it alerts me that I have pressed a specific key.
The keyboard Im currently using is being reviewed. Yeah I also got surprised that the stabilizers are lubed. You wouldn't see that in any boards.
The budget 60% mech kb 🔥
🔥
This keyboard is really good. I got it for my birthday and it's amazing. But there is a bit of delay when gaming on Bluetooth. I personally think Bluetooth is very good for maybe working/writing. But wired is best for gaming.
thanks im planning on getting this but the hot swap version and the reveiw was great!
Nice review!
i hope you can you do review for Royal Kludge RK987 soon.
Going from a $20 big lots gaming keyboard to this is Soo nice. It's hot swappable. It's key cap swappable, it sounds great, great quality for the price, and more, when mine delivers I'm gonna absolutely love it
Yes ikkk if u want to make it better u can spend abt 30-40 bucks on stabilizers and lubing then then getting some gateron silvers of of Amazon line then and put them on and it sounds sooo good
@@astro2369 are slivers better then reds?
@@gxthblxde silvers are way better then reds in my opinion and its rlly rare to see someone disagree, but the most important thing is that it isnt blue switches because those are horrible because theyre too loud, reccomend silvers or maybe yellows, Have fun with ur new keyboard.
I almost bought this board but Amazon had a lightning deal on prime day for the Redragon K530 for $39.99. So I bought 2 of them.
Same but i didnt just get it for the offer with all the reviews i saw this was the most popular one i found in my country.
The sound test startled me lol, if i get this, i will definately lube the switches or solder in new ones. Thanks for the review!!
You actually don’t have to solder anything is this board, it’s hot swappable depending on which version you get
@@LmaoSly huh ok then, i didnt really do much research. The video said it was not hot swappable. My dad bought me a red dragon dragonbourne instead and its pretty good for my first keyboard and its hot swappable. I will likely get akko lavenders lol
Hey! Im gonna get it next week! thanks for the review!
the new updated board the arrow keys are active, and only require shift + uparrow to activate the question mark, so it acts like a regular keyboard ;> the forward slash u still need to press function + uparrow
Wait so mine's the newer version? I thought I had the older version
Personally I love the RK68 (which is hot-swappable). Great value and a nice base for most budget builds where you want or need bluetooth. Just need some mods to the case, the usual switch and stabilizer-lubing and it can sound pretty nice 🙃🙂
On the key-caps though, personally I find them to be a little on the thin side...
the 61's are coming hotswap now too.. .
the content on this channel is so amazing. also please review kemove 61
I think I already have
Very helpful. Great videos. Keep it up 🙌🙌
Thanks so much
Mine Is Coming Thursday CANT WAIT!
how is it
its cool how you have been gaining alot of subs, you where at like 1 k for not so long ago
Yeah, it's been cool. Thanks for the support!
i have had this keyboard for a year + and it has not done me bad at all since i have purchased it, 10/10 reccomend.
There is another RK keyboard that's worth reviewing - RK 96 - almost full size (96%) that has factory lubed switches, stabilizers, silencer foam inside and now for sale for 63.99 (and can connect via type c, type a or wirelessly), it's just what is needed for people like me who don't want to mess with keyboard just yet but want to first get something decent out of the box, and it is really good quality product for this price (free magnet hand rest included!). I just bought one, so nice comparing to those regular mechanical keyboards you can try at Best Buy.
Coming back to these reviews over and over while I try and decide whether to keep this or the Redragon k530...even though they're both standard 60% the keys are every so slightly to the left on the Redragon and it makes such a difference, so many mistypes! 😳
rk61 no doubt
@@StinkyKraken Thank you, you finally made me add this one to my cart and just close the window to buy it these next days
@@dulla8469 planning on buying it too but I am scared it will take a lot of time getting used to, and I am not sure if it is good for coding
I have had the rk61 for a few years. Wanted to get a second kb for my home office (I keep work and personal systems separate so needed a second kb). Got the reddragon, and had to return it. I just had all sorts of issues with it not recognizing key strokes. Replaced it with a newer model of the rk61 than the one I had.. and I love it.
The keyboard is not the best but after I put new stabilizers and lubed everything n put in gateron silvers and it’s the best keyboard EVER and got sm new key caps!
Excellent review as usual!
Thanks again!
Mine arrived tomorrow and I’m super excited
I love how she hasn’t found her amazing personality on TH-cam and is just monotonous at this point. Now, she is amazingly crazy and has an amazing personality
the change is really nice to see i love her personality
tbh i kinda feel like her crazy side seems fake bc more people seem to like to watch that.
What do you think about the pro version of this keyboard? I’m debating whether I should buy the normal or the pro version bc I would like to switch switches and keycaps too in the future
Hey did you the pro version? I'd like to know how worth it was
Honestly I’m going to get this board for my second keyboard thanks for this awesome review I live in New Zealand with is actually twice the price so this is about 100$ although lucky for me it’s on sale for 50$ so that’s awesome keep up the great videos!
This is da best channel in TH-cam.
Love your videos...
You’re really underrated
hear hear!
I wish I could call this a budget keyboard
Good review and an often-overlooked keyboard. It's not going to impress an enthusiast but it's great for the cost. I just picked up the "pro" model with aluminum case and PBT keycaps. I lubed the stabilizers, added case foam and tape modded the PCB. It's not exactly a 'thock' maker but I'm pleased with it. I may change the switches but maybe not. I'm not offended by them. The "pro" model comes with Gateron switches (brown in my case) and is hot swappable. The "pro" model is only $63 on Amazon and well worth the few extra dollars. Standard (without hot swap PCB) is currently $50. The hot swap PCB and full RGB in the standard plastic case is $55. If anyone is getting the plastic case model, I would highly recommend spending the extra $5 for the hot swap PCB.
So I have been planning tot buy this keyboard for a long time. it is honestly the best for the buck as I am currently using a membrane keyboard. but i would like to stat that the blue switch's are acutely hot swappable. i loved this video as it told everything I need to know about the keyboard, so when i am about to buy i am going to mod it and this video helped me know everything i might need to get like good sound denting foam. and if you are.
I would love to see good 65% keyboards at different price points 🙏🏽
Someday, when we get all the boards we need. Planning to release black Friday
I just got this board and really happy with it for the price. However it definitely doesn’t sound like the dreamy hollow I am longing for. I am wondering what would be the easiest mods to improve the sound of this board? Thanks
First you should start by looking into lubing the stabilizers and switches.
The switches that come with the RK61 aren’t the best, if you want your keyboard to really sound great, try looking into some other switch options.
The stabs (stabilizers ) that come with the RK also aren’t the best, but not the worst. So could opt in for some Durock Stabilizers.
Also try going to your local dollar store and buy any type of foam, putting foam in the case really does help with sound-dampening.
These are just the basics, there’s a ton of other things you could do, if you’re a newer member of the mechanical keyboard community, try looking at videos about making your rk61 sound better.
Hope this helps!
@@tahnm9699 Awesome, thanks so much!
Just started modding this board myself. And let me just say, I'm glad you came out of your shell on your later videos. Let that personality shine Betty!
Thank you!
My daily driver for a while now for coding (together with an RK71 for gaming) both with blue switches & modified with pudding keycaps to make the RGB shine more and a type-C white coiled cable (I don't use bluetooth). Glad to see I'm not the only one to like it, though I must admit I prefer the USB-C left location on the RK71. Shame they don't have also macOS keys. Great video and as always, love from France.
Thanks so much for the insight. I also prefer the cable on the left
Hey there, which one is better between rk61 and rk71? Been contemplating for the past few days and still can't decide which one to buy :)
I’m looking to buy this keyboard for Christmas I am looking for a mechanic 60% keyboard this is my first 60% and mechanical so is the rk61 a good place to start or do you have any other ideas?
They have a Xmas special version with red, green & white keycaps.
This is probably the most informative and in-depth review of the RK68 keyboard. Most of the special functions of this keyboard weren't even mentioned by other TH-cam reviewers. Thanks for doing this review and we look forward to watching more reviews from this channel. If possible please review the new keyboards from RK, which are the RK837 and the RK855. Thanks.
RK855 coming soon
@@SwitchandClickOfficial awesome!! Looking forward to it! Thanks!
I needed I new keyboard that I wanted to mod that was hotswappanle and I was about to buy the other $50 board but I liked the way you talked about this one and it looks good. I was also looking for a new 60% keyboard and I think thisnis it. Right now have the red dragon k552 but since it isn't hotswapable, I can't change its red switches to glorious pandas. Thank you so much for this video, and if you didn't make this I probably would have wasted a lot of time looking for a keyboard like this, or this. Thank you!
I'm looking at the newest comments, and I'm just seeing a lot of the newer ones having hearts. I just love how Betty is still reading her new comments on an older video! I just bought the newer model of the RK61, and I should get it soon. I will return when I get the keyboard.
:)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I just got the keyboard, it's an amazing keyboard for the price, and I just love how it's hot-swappable!
I don’t know which one do i choose RK61 or GK61 or DK 63
I’m going to use it for gaming and writing a lot so i need it to be stabilized
So which one is the better?
Rk61 would be my pick, sounds the best
What do you think about Drevo seer pro? I can't find much videos since its was newly released lately. Thanks !
Haven't used it but it looks nice
I picked up this keyboard, rgb version (which also has a dongle and 2.4ghz wireless as well as Bluetooth), cost me £55. So impressed, picked this up as a make do until I could get a better one but I think I’m keeping this and kidding it. Really like it
Got this and according to Amazon it's arriving today so yay!
I can’t figure out if I can swap out the switches for Gateron Silent MX Switch 5 pins. Anyone know?
Yes u can 3-5 pin I have 5 pin in mine.
Betty, I heard that there's a big update for this keeb that makes it a 10000x better
*It's now hotswap*
how to tell if it's the new model?
My ISO RK61 came with Outemu Brown switches. Clear top, white bottom, no injection molding marks on the top of the stem. Also mine has considerable amounts of plate ping which I haven't been able to fix yet.
My is coming tomorrow thanks for the review I am excited
Hope you enjoy it!
Been trying to choose between RK61 and the GK61. They're both great, so I've got no clue which one I should pick xD
Great video though :) Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I would pick this one because wireless option :)
Depending on whether you go with GK61 optical or non-optical, but generally stick to the GK. This board comes without hot-swap ability and in house RK switches which have far less long term reviews than Gateron ones. If you get optical GK61, the options are limited but they are said to be smoother switches than mechanical counterparts. Unless Bluetooth is a game-breaker, even though this board will have slow response times and only 6key roll-over, then sure go with this one.
you should also look into the dk61. It’s hot-swappable, has a better build than both of them and comes stock with PBT keycaps
Epomaker GK61x. Hotswappable. Can get Bluetooth version. Comes with Double shot PBT keycaps.
@@Yimir11 knows what’s up
Are tactile switches really just reserved for slower/softer typists? I've tried tactile switches in the past and I can confidently say that I can't really notice their clicks.
For both? I type really fast and heavy and love tactile
Love my rk61. I've got the tri mode / RGB that has a 2.4ghz dongle. I use it BT now, but for the longest time I was using the 2.4ghz. I keep it solid blue with wasd being red.... The keycaps stay pretty good after several years of use (I actually have 2.. the rgb version of the one you have, and the tri-mode/rgb). I've swapped out the caps with some pudding caps and am doing the tri-mode with some gateron k9's. I've heard these were khail. The newest ones are hot-swappable.. making it the best featured kb under 60.. I think they're 50 now on amazon, but that price jumps around a bit... Love my pair of rk's. White stabs on the black tri-mode... EDIT - OK, I had the gateron yellow pro's en route when I first posted this.. they're in now.. and sounds completely different than it used to.. much lower frequency.. not really any ping. I'm not a super fast typer, but it sounds awesome to me. SOOO tempted to desolder my older rk61 and put some yellows or inky blacks in there for shiggles.
You should review the Havit 60% mechanical keyboard and mouse bundle. It looks almost identical to this however comes with huano browns instead of gateron
I just ordered mine and It's coming on Sunday this is my first keyboard so I hope its good and I got the browns

awesome review!
Thank you!
im getting the hot swappable version and im so excited! im also getting new keycaps and the akko cs lavender switches :D
ill be getting the holy panda switches, but i think ill stick to the standard keycaps, i have the rk68 not the 61
Getting it tomorrow I’m excited
Exciting!
I have the 2018 rk61 ( not hot swap )and I found that you don't need to hold FN and Shift instead using just shift works. Idk if it's the same with the latest one though
Im getting mine in 15 to 20 days! Cant wait!!
Same here, can't wait
Hi, nice video!
Is it worth buying this keyboard for competitive gaming?
I have this one, I'm really really happy I got it. As an animator with little desk space I was looking for a small keyboard because I need my mouse and drawing tablet on my desk. But I game too so I didn't want some office keyboard. This one is perfect
I just got the same thing today except it was a g68 and I was shocked at how good it was, only for 50$!
I recently purchased this keyboard and it works great but I wanted to ask if you could recommend any keycaps for a bit of customization? thank you
can't wait for it to arrive
Typing with an RK61 now, with Kailh Pro Burgundy inside it. Heavenly.
Hi Betty! I hope you also take a look at the RK61 pro which has an aluminum case.
Hi there! Can you please do a tutorial on how to lube the switches and stabilisers without removing them?😅
I am really watching al kinds of reviews on this. Was looking if you had ever did a review but now I'm super happy. Oh and side note what about the red switches are they really quit or just quitier
U mean quiet?
@@dlixc551 yeah
Silent switches are gonna be quiet. Reds still make quite a bit of noise
@@SwitchandClickOfficial oh but the only 3 choices are blues browns and reds so the red are the bust option right?
Yeah
This small keeb has everything even bluetooth. Also the white with ice blue looks nice to me.
i love this keyboard i just bought it and its coming in the mail!
Hope you enjoy it!
i love this vid thx betty
Your'e welcome!
I love this review! I've recently gotten into mechanical keyboards and for my first one I've been deciding between RK61 and the Anne Pro 2,but I'm leaning more towards the RK61. Do you think this would work well connected to a Mac or an iPad maybe, like if the windows key can be configured to have command instead?
P. S. im looking forward to watching more reviews from you! Autosub! ❤️
I don't know if it has software but you can always remap keys with Karabiner on Mac
For Mac and iPad I use RK61. The battery lasted about a month with rgb occasionally on with full brightness. I have the blue switches. There is a bit of “ping” that is sometimes annoying but all in all I would it a 9/10 for Mac and iPad use.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Yes, I forget how to do it since I'm a linux user and that can use the normal windows key mapping, but the user manuals say it has a way to do so. Using the rk61 software in windows lets me do a lot of customization, so it might be available via that if you have a win machine at your disposal for using the software to map things.
I have it. But in black. Mine is older though, cause it doesn't have USB C. But same brand and model name. I probably have had mine since 2018 or so.
ty for the suggestion. like this kb
Just bought the Kludge K61 on the Kludge website, it was on sale for $47 with tax and free shipping. That's an insane price for a quality wireless mechanical keyboard. I do wish I had gotten the K61 Pro but it wasn't on the RK Gaming website. I didn't want the Pro for the RGB, I'd just set it to blue anyway, but I wanted the aluminum chassis for the rigidity. Oh, and the one I got does have hot swappable key switches. I'm guessing they've changed that since the two years this review was done.
P.S. Blue switches are the best! [Ducks for best switch fight]
Thanks a los for your video, i have that model and didn't know how to deactivate the arrow keys, to use the question mark and slash, and you showed with fn enter to switch that, that didn't come in the manual
