Royal Kludge RK-61 (sometimes sold as Lindon-Tech) Royal Kludge RK-61 dual-mode keyboard is a 60% keyboard that can work in both USB wired and Bluetooth 3.0 mode. This is actually V2.0 of the keyboard, where four keys in the lower right can work as arrow keys. The V1.0 lacks this feature. You can tell if the keyboard is V2.0 by checking if the keycaps have arrow symbols, and the FN key is way to the right. Its Bluetooth is 3.0, not the latest, but perfectly adequate for normal use. Before You Buy Bluetooth 3.0 only, there is an older V1.0 out there with no arrow key function. Known Variants Available in black or white, and there are both Kailh/Longhua and Cherry editions of this keyboard.
