Review: Nice keyboard now that you can program it with QMK/VIA - I have two of these. The newer one is better. I bought a previous version of this keyboard in 2023, a version that was configured either through proprietary RK software or via key combinations. It drove me nuts! I'd fat-finger some keys and BOOM, stuff on the keyboard was changed. And unlike the new version of the RK61, I couldn't program away the awful configuration key combos using RK's software. The reset key combo (Fn-SPACE) got LOTS of use. If RK made all configuration key combos require a press-and-hold timeout like the reset key combo, no problem, but ALL OTHER configuration key combos took hold the millisecond the keys were pressed. That, and the south-of-wonderful RK software that only let me program some of the keys, were deal breakers for me. The keyboard went into a drawer. Fast forward to today: this 2024 keyboard is now configurable via QMK/VIA and it's AMAZING. First course of action when I hooked it up: program away the configuration key combos. No more fat-fingered reconfigs! In every other way, the new RK61 is like the old one, but now that I can actually use the thing without accidentally reconfiguring it, I'm a very happy customer. It's a sturdy, classy, fun keyboard, and I highly recommend it to folks that aren't too picky about their mechanical keyboards. I'm sure there are better boards out there, but come on, at this price point? With these features? This one's a winner (just be very careful that you order the one that specifically says it's programmable with QMK/VIA. Some listings on this site don't say that. Buyer beware!). ## Features - Mini 60% Keyboard: RK61 mini 60% gaming keyboard is a ultra-compact layout with 61 keys makes you a neat desktop with your organized gears on, even folks have nothing to do with Minimalist will dive into its tiny practical design.

I had a glorious 3 keyboard and the rgb went out on me after only a little more then a month. Super mad cause those are a pretty penny, had to beg Amazon to let me return it. This keyboard has MORE rgb settings then you could ever need and they’re much better then glorious’s, you don’t have to go and program ones you want on their software. And you don’t need to download software to use this keyboard. This one is great quality, don’t cost a arm and a leg, and is cute and small not bulky. I was able to add my keycaps and clicky switches I had bought for my 3mk and put them on here too since I still liked how they looked still. 10/10 for me for price and functionality.
