MAGIC-REFINER RK68 60% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Bluetooth 5.0/2.4GHz with Dual Mode 2-in-1 Receiver, Ergonomic Compact 68-Key Hot Swappable Gaming Keyboard, Blue Switch for Mac Windows PC

This is a very nice and very compact "Blue switches" mechanical keyboard.I had forgotten the feel of a mechanical keyboard... one with real switches with longer travel per click than we have grown used to with membrane and "X" key keyboards found on modern laptops.A blue switches mechanical keyboard gives a satisfying but also loud "CLICK" on each key press.This keyboard comes with extraction tools to remove the keys but zero instructions on how to do it.I researched it a bit and it seems that it's kind of a standard thing (google "change mechanical keyboard switches" and you will find a number of video tutorials). Turns out that there are a number of color keyboard switches out there with each their different travel distance, resistance, noise level etc... but they seem to be of standard size and interoperable ... so some people can elect to get a space bar with a little more resistance etc...Now back to our cute little keyboard.It's a charm to use.It comes with a very clever dual 2.4Ghz dongle (one side USB-A (the old large usb) and the other side usb-C (the new small usb found on modern laptops and phones/tablets). The simplest approach is you just plug the dongle and start typing. But you can also configure the keyboard to work over BlueTooth (I haven't tested this).The keyboard is responsive.The Amazon website product description describes it as a "Gaming keyboard". The actual product box / instruction makes no mention of this word.The keys are all normal size (that I could tell) and there was no awkwardness in typing or trying to readjust to a scaled down keyboard. There are however, the extra steps of pressing the "Fn" key before pressing the top row key to access what would be a F1/F2/F3... or media (volume etc) keys on a normal size keyboard.Those top keys perform double duty and deciphering the meaning of every icon can get a little burdensome at times. Mine had orange and grey prints on light beige and grey keys which can be challenging to read at times.I used they keyboard in gaming and while it was mostly agreeable, because the the ambient light was low, I found myself wishing that the keys were backlit as seems to be the case in all other "gaming" keyboards.Conclusion:This is a good feeling little keyboard.It has good connectivity.The printing on some of the keys is hard to read.It can be a little quirky to have to press the "Fn" key to access to the F1/F2/... and media keys.To call this a "gaming" keyboard, I think it would truly need back key lighting.Verdict:IF you need to save a little desktop space (or perhaps you want a mechanical keybaord for travel),and you are not a hard core gamer, then I would recommend this keybaord.If you want to do gaming: look for another product.

Sigh...Where to begin...I have been using this keyboard for a few weeks now and as a keyboard its decent. I will admit I can be somewhat of a snob when it comes to peripherals, but I will get to that later. The whole thing is fairly heavy, which is nice. It says put even without a desk pad. The "clicky blue" switches are as expected. The typing is nice and allows for faster activation with that tactile feeling that comes with blue style switches. It is easy to type on with no "ghosting" and with ample rollover.Now, with that out of the way. Its time to get down to the nitty gritty part of my review.As I stated, the deck is very solid and adds to the stability and strength of the keyboard. This is unfortunately where the good technical aspects end. First, of all there are inconsistencies in the PCB. This causes each key cap to sit in a noticeably different position, giving it an uneven appearance and key cap alignment. Each key seems to be offset from the key next to it. The more I looked at the overall alignment the more it began to bother me. This inconsistency carries over to the switches themselves. Having used this keyboard as a "daily driver" I started to notice that there were some keys that felt differently as I pressed them. They would activate at different moments and the tactile click changed between some keys as well. I then decided to remove all of the switches and found that there were 3 different manufactures of blue switches scattered throughout the keyboard (different part #). This does not effect the overall functionality of the keyboard though. What does effect the functionality is the keycaps themselves. The printing on each key cap is barely visible. Some of the letters are so faded that you can not make out what letter they are at all. The only markings that are clearly defined on this keyboard are the function markings (BT1, BT2...). This wasn't a big deal for me but if you are one that needs to look at your keyboard then you may need to find alternative key caps. Another thing that hinders its functionality is the wireless function. The receiver is very susceptible to interference. I found that if I used my wireless mouse or received a text the keyboard input would cut out. This happened on both 2.4 and on Bluetooth, and made playing games very difficult.Overall, this keyboard is pretty...ok. If you are looking for an entry mechanical keyboard and want to try out the experience without carving a hole in your bank account then this is not bad. Its not good, but not bad. However, if you are looking for a quality keyboard with a good build and good features, then I would spend the extra money and get a keyboard from a more reparable brand.

This keyboard is pretty small but it is also pretty thick (which is true for most mechanical keyboard since that switch has to fit somewhere). But it is a nice size and I love the color scheme. The click isn’t too crazy click compared to the Corsair’s Blue Switches but they still have that tactile response. Pairing is super easy just press function and the corresponding key. I have this set up for Bluetooth and connected to an iPad and a MacBook.Some oddness the key caps look like they are pretty durable but the alternate functions like the “bt 1 and 2” buttons like they are printed on so I’m not sure how long they will last when it comes to prolonged usage, just strange that all the letters and symbols look flush so laser etched potentially, but the function keys aren’t… the font is also a little strange but not terrible. I wish it has some angling ability since it does sit higher than what I’m normally used to so it does take some getting used to.
