RK61

A build for $1k should be using the RX 9060 XT 16GB if you can swing it. Also you are buying DDR4 RAM and you need DDR5, preferably 6000mhz ram for Ryzen. Just a heads up as well, that RK61 keyboard is pretty bad. I owned it for about a year and started having issues with it turning off and back on

The RK61 has hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable versions. It's annoying. Best way to find out if yours is is to do the old, "Grab a switch, give it a good tug, and see if it moves."

The obvious part is your buying cheap products....From this subreddit I've always heard RK Royal keyboards(currently on amazon right now the RK61 is $39.99) are trash.

It's mostly historically interesting. It was amazing when it came out but now any QMK board is almost certainly be

the real problem is actually selling the cheap ones because nobody really wants to buy a battered RK61 on the aftermarket QMK version or the horrid legacy firmware?

Their old ones that start with rk like rk61 are definitely a hard pass due to quality being poor. The new ones are ok enough. I'm guessing you want a 98 keys layout that has a screen and volume knob? Also you said you wanted backlit, does that mean the letters light up in the dark?

ok uhh lowkey if thats one of their older models like the the RK61, RK68, RK84 then IMO hindi siya worth it. 50/50 yung quality tapos sirain pa yung pcb. Ano kinuha mo kung sakali?

just to satisfy the automod bot since it asked for specs on my graveyard of budget boards. currently staring at my plastic GMK67 with Akko Cream Yellow Pro switches and some knockoff Matcha PBT keycaps. also got an RK61 sitting here with Outemu Reds that i tape modded to death, and a Tester68 with M
