Hello guys. This is my first ever keyboard review for my first ever proper mechanical keyboard, please be kind :) Obligatory English is not my first language, so sorry about that mate. So, the Royal Kludge RK61. A fairly popular 60% board due to its cheap price (I got mine for NZD56 on discount with shipping and insurance on BangGood). From what I read from reviews from other people before purchasing this board, it is found to be quite divisive. Some praising its cheap price and functionality and others condemned it for various reasons, of which some I will explain on my review. Anyway, let's get down to the review, shall we? What is this thing? Well it is a White Royal Kludge RK61 with the RK Red switch, which I assume to be a clone of Gateron Reds. I am going to review the switch first since I don't particularly have a good knowledge of switches and just wanted to get this out of the way. As I said before, my guess is that this is a clone of Gateron Reds with transparent housing. This means a couple of things for me. One, that it feels quite smooth in my fingers, especially compared to the MX Blacks and Reds that I have felt. I still can feel a little bit of scratchiness when typing but I assume that this will be fixed easily with some lube. Secondly, regardless of what I say above. The biggest characteristic that I feel from this switch is that it is wobbly as hell, like the stem of the switch feels loose. It almost feels like one of those Cooler Master Mem-Chanical switches (Rubber Dome w/ Sliders over Membrane) but somewhat smoother. My plans for the switches are either lubing them and replace the springs with SPRiT 150g or replace them with either Linjar or Creams Anyway, enough of me talking in the field that i do not master very well. We're moving on to the part where we discuss keycaps and build quality. Now this is something that I do have some knowledge about. it is quite a light keyboard on 700g. The reason for this is that most if not all the mater
