Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers consider the RK61 a solid entry‑level 60% mechanical keyboard, praising its affordable price, dual‑mode connectivity, hot‑swap capability, and fast 1000 Hz polling. However, they note the plastic construction, spacebar instability, and limited Bluetooth key‑rollover as areas where it falls short of premium competitors.
What Users Say
Everyday users consistently commend the RK61 for its portability, smooth Red switches, vibrant lighting, and multi‑device convenience, while repeatedly criticizing the spacebar wobble, keycap shine, short battery life with lights on, and the flex of its lightweight frame.
Common Complaints
Spacebar wobble or rattling, ABS keycaps developing shine, battery lasting only ~10 hours with backlight, frame flex under heavy typing, and occasional Bluetooth lag.
What People Are Saying
“"pass" for budget 60% boards: clean design (564 g white variant), minimal flex, smooth Red switches for gaming/typing, portable form factor, but flags spacebar issues and light weight”
“compact portability (fits in bags easily)”
How It Compares
vs. Keychron K6
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the RK61 for the lowest cost and hot‑swap flexibility; choose the K6 for longer battery life and a more premium build.
vs. Anne Pro 2
Advantages
Disadvantages
Pick the RK61 if hot‑swap switches and ultra‑low cost are priorities; pick the Anne Pro 2 for richer RGB and a sturdier feel without the need to swap switches.
