LeaningTech LTC K61 61-Key RGB LED Backlit Bluetooth Wireless/Wired Multi-Device Mechanical Keyboard for PC / Mac / iPad / iPhone / Smartphone / Laptop, Brown Switch

Nice but this thing has one of the silliest quirks i've ever seen.I was surprised by the quality, so far it's been competitive with anything you could get from a more popular brand name. It suits my purposes perfectly as being a gaming suitable wireless keyboard in a semi truck.What's silly is this Fn grouping function. It's not a terrible idea to have Always on Fn groups i guess, which you can move between always on arrows, home/insert/etc... pad, and f1-12 pad by using a switch, the silly part is that you can't turn it off! The default state, and the least intrusive, is to leave the arrow keys always on. This means you will have to press Fn to use ?. For me on dvorak, it means i have to press Fn to use z. Talk about frustrating. Every time i type a z normally my cursor moves up a line and continues entering text. Whoever thought it was a good idea to not include an 'OFF' mode for that fn grouping should eat a few carolina reapers as punishment, and then fix it in a firmware update or something.Lastly the outfit seems really small. I couldn't even find this keyboard on their own webpage, so i imagine that there won't be any updates fixing the fn grouping issue or any other added features for it.Regardless of my rant, i'm actually happy with it since i don't need the aforementioned key to play games.This was type using this keyboard and, yes, i still messed up on the z key and had to spend extra time fixing the misplaced text it caused.

I recently purchased this keyboard with the Brown switches. After performing the firmware update, I'm pleased to say this keyboard is working quite well.Pros:Compact 60% design - it's small!Brightness adjustment of the backlightingMany keys can be re-programmed using the software that is linked in the descriptionYou can change the arrow key/ question mark standard operation so that ? works without the use of FNBrown switches are somewhat quiet (they do clack when you bottom out) but still have a great feelPBT keycapsCons:Not much. Could be heavier maybe?Needs a better, more concise manual (perhaps the online community could come up with one)Maybe put the additional function on the front of the keys, rather than the top. Not a deal breaker by any means.Overall I'm really enjoying this keyboard. I don't recall the specific key combination, however after the firmware update you can change the question mark key to function without the FN key. Might be FN + Right Shift. To use tilde (on the ESC key) it is required that you use FN + Left Shift + ESC. I'm not one for color, I didn't purchase this keyboard because of the RGB backlight, but I will admit it does do some really cool things with colors. If you are considering a 60% keyboard, this is definitely one to put high on the list.

This is a really good keyboard all and all, they fixed the question mark problem, (Just download the firmware.) The keys feel really nice as well with easily replaceable key caps. The keyboards Bluetooth also works REALLY well, sometimes I have problems with devices connecting on Bluetooth or it takes a while, but this keyboard connects instantly, and with what they did with the blue tooth is you can switch easily between 3 Bluetooth devices and a wired connection very easily, (read the manual to learn how to do so.) There is NO flex to this keyboard, it feels like a high end product, it also has a bit of weight on it. also there is almost no key wobble, very sturdy keys. The rgb isn't the best, but its extremely good, and fully customizable. The cable is comes with is nice and long and its replaceable. When actually using the keyboard, the logo on the front isnt visible so for you guys who care about that, its not that big of a deal. Also each key is programmable, so huge bonus for that. Overall would I recommend this keyboard? The answer is yes, if you dont mind giving up extra macro keys on the side, the whole number pad and arrow keys for more mobility, then this is a definite buy.

I frequently switch between two/three laptops at work and at home and this works great. The hardwired option to connect let’s me include my old work PCs, and the ability to have three stored Bluetooth connections works fantastic to hot swap. The small size was a must since O carry it to and from work. I did add some dampeners to quiet it down a bit, but I’m incredibly happy with it. My only qualm, is it has taken some getting used to with hitting the ‘?’ Key. But if you use this as your primary keyboard, you should get used to it okay. I am happier with this purchase than my ten-keyless $180 Corsair.

Really enjoy having the ability to switch from laptop to desktop and enjoying the feel and sound of the keys. All of the lighting options are great and once I learned the keyboard shortcuts for changing color and color patterns having fun changing the mood right below my fingers when I'm getting back into the zone. Only struggle I've had early on was realizing when I had hit certain key combinations that altered which characters/keys received priority, but knowing is half the battle :)

The keyboard is small and comes in the typical switch types I would expect. The build quality is more than adequate and will be a great little keyboard for when I have to do long form typing and all I have is my smart phone. It is not super feature rich but good enough, if RBG is the most important aspect of a keyboard to you this probably isn't the keyboard for you. I however just like having back lit keys. With PBT keycaps and decent Cherry Style switches it's a decent thing to have kicking around.

5 stars after the firmware upgrade fixed my immediate issue with the question mark key behavior. This is a fantastic keyboard for the price. Compared to its cousins the Royal Kludge RK-61 and Mantistek GK3-61, it is the mid-range offering.My tips are to hang on to the instruction booklet, and to replace the key caps with some thicker PBT caps and possibly some o-rings if they're your thing. The feel of this keyboard will go way up.

Works OK as a wired RGB keyboard, but is unusable as a Bluetooth keyboard. After upgrading to the latest firmware and drivers, the keyboard no longer goes to sleep.The instructions that come with the keyboard say that it has a "Power Saving Mode" which turns off the back-light after 3 minutes, goes to standby after 5 minutes, and deep sleep after 10 minutes. This does not happen.What I found was that after power on (switch at the back), the keyboard will sleep once, then when you bring it out of sleep (by tapping a key), it never enters sleep again. It just runs until the battery goes flat (a few hours). Then you have to plug it in, and use it as a wired keyboard for 3 hours or so until the battery recharges.This ,makes it unusable as a Bluetooth keyboard, as you have to keep plugging it in every few hours to recharge.I do not recommend this product.UPDATE:After much searching of the internet, I found that this keyboard is identical to the MantisTek® GK3-61 Bluetooth Wired Dual Mode Cherry Switch RGB 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (at least electronically - can't say about the keys).There is a firmware update for this at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OSWp15ogSKf1Y7qo-z5RWqm370q13wrA which fixes the sleep issue I mention above. is this later/better than the firmware given in the amazon description? don't know, but it worked for me. I had to press Fn+ Rt_Shift to get the /? keys working normally after this update, but anyway, now the keyboard is much more usable as a bluetooth keyboard.Also Fn+Space does a factory reset if you need it.

Rewriting the whole review after really getting to know the keyboard and dropping it from 4 stars to 3.This doesn't mean it's a bad keyboard. The switches feel great, more like a silent blue then a brown due to being slightly stiffer. The keycaps also feel great, they are certainly PBT. I've gamed and typed on this plenty, though it isn't my main keyboard. Coincidentally I won more matches in Overwatch with this vs. my Motospeed K87s. A keyboard that's all-round nicer then this one if I'm honest, by a lot. It also happened to be 3/4 the price. But size and detachable cord really mattered to me, and going for the cheapest board possible was not the point here, nor do I recommend that with a 60%.The software is great. Honestly it's really simple and quick. Far as I can tell it doesn't do any key logging either. Just don't expect it to work for keymapping, it'll work but it forces ? to be up arrow when you make any changes. It's got tons of lighting options at least and really this is where you should set your keyboards lighting. While the board can do it on it's own the settings are kinda meh.While we're talking about lighting this keyboard really sucks for it. There's no silver or white backplate so the lights really don't pop. To make matters worse the default colours have many that are just off, and white is actually a very light pink. You can set accurate colours (not white) under user defined in the software. However it's all or nothing, there's no individually addressable LEDs somehow. Oh and my escape key has no LED, or mine was DOA.Bluetooth thus far works perfectly fine, though 99% of the time this will be used wired. Annoyingly the battery came lose during shipping. However if it survived be tossed half way around the world I'm sure it'll be fine to go in a backpack. At some point I'll re-secure it.Would I recommend this keyboard? Yes, but with some caveats.One being you should spend as much as possible on a 60%, within reason. Something with robust firmware, good keycaps (or ones that are easy to replace), and all the features you require is important. I consider this keyboard the entry point for a 60%. It feels great to type on, and is flexible with the added bluetooth. The price is pretty good, and while the lighting is pretty sub-par it's there and customizable. The software seems to be a great surprise but the keyboards firmware or perhaps ICs are holding it back. At least that's what I suspect, but it's entirely possible the keyboard itself is held back by software that only appears to function properly.The other caveat is based upon what you need the keyboard for. I certainly don't want to go down to a 60% for my main keyboard. And if you're wanting to do really any real reprogramming of the keys you need something else. Similarly if you want it to be super-RGB-awesome well... it isn't and you'll need to look elsewhere.Just need a basic portable keyboard though? Yeah this fits the bill nicely.
