Royal Kludge - RK61

Your best option would be the [Nuphy Air60](https://nuphy.com/products/air60-v2), a slim wireless 60% with a "minila" layout that shifts the "Z" row 1/4 key width to the right to give you room to fit arrow keys and a delete key in the lower right corner. It is almost exactly what you're asking for, the low profile switches are quiet but not silent. It blows your budget out of the water though. The RK61 QMK/VIA version is not bad. The legacy version is awful^(*), though, and the new version is wired-only. The RK R65 QMK/VIA is a 65%, only very slightly larger, but it has separate arrow keys and wireless support. * https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-R65-Mechanical/dp/B0D5HCQPY8 For silent switches, you'll have to spend a little more and swap them out yourself. I recommend the Outemu Silent Yellow Jade, you can get a package of 70 for under $20 even with Amazon prices which is enough for any of these boards. You can also get the CIDOO QK61 or Redragon^(**) K717 Alcor and configure them with mod-tap arrows, which lets you use the right-hand shift/alt/win/ctl keys as arrows when you tap them. * https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K717-Programmable-Mechanical-Dampening/dp/B0DL578X3K * https://www.amazon.com/MechLands-QK61-Programmable-Swappable-Mechanical/dp/B0D8VMD3P3 [More info](https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/blob/main/via-boards.md)... Moving up a little bit in size, you might find you can fit a 75% board in your bag. The RK R75 and Redragon K715 are decent options. * https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-R75-Mechanical/dp/B0D3GZYN1P * https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K715-Programmable-Mechanical-Dedicated/dp/B0DKXLDJ24 For these boards you will need a 90 pack of silent switches. Finally, you can build a Minila layout board from parts, using the YMDK DK61 or DKKB DK6064 PCBs. This is a bit adventurous though. [More info](https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/tree/main/layouts/yr6095)... ----- ^(* All the legacy Royal Kludge boards are pretty awful, the new QMK/VIA boards seem to be a bit of an about turn. That would be the *QMK/VIA* versions of the RK61, RK R65, RK R75, and RK R87) ^(** Same caveat as Royal Kludge, only the K715 and K717 are good boards)

The RK61 QMK/VIA is one I have recommended. Any other version of the RK61 is completely pants. The QMK RK61, and the other new QMK 60% keyboards (Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA, Redragon K717 Alcor, and CIDOO QK61), are fundamentally equivalent boards even though their features and default configuration are quite different, because they are running QMK firmware with VIA configuration enabled. The layout and key configuration you can perform with VIA is far more extensive than any proprietary board and software. In particular you can use mod-tap to make the right hand modifiers (shift and the three keys underneat it) act as arrows when tapped but whatever the face of the key says when held. This makes a 60% board as convenient to use as one with dedicated arrow keys. Razer has nothing comparable. [More](https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/tree/main/layouts)...

I would go for RK61. Its a good budget keyboard and very durable.

Try rk100 or yung rk 61 if di mo naman need ng numpad, trimode na din .I was about to suggest Ilis kasi goods din kaso wireless nga pala need .

I used the RK61 for a few years myself and it was fine. Don't remember anything particularly special about it but didn't have any problems either. Replaced it with the Skylooong GK75 in the end though, my favorite board overall.

Tried RK61, real flimsy. Slight modification makes it great

Rk61 is prolly the beginning of keyboards that last long. Anything below that i dont think it will last long

Go for it ive been using rk61 yellow switch variant for like 1 or 2 years and its great and could prolly last 6-7 more

I use a rk61 its like 50 bucks and has brown switches, i really like it and its good for the price

I'm using RK61 with red switches makuha mo ata less than 2k with vouchers sa 7.7 sale tomorrow [RK61](https://shopee.ph/Royal-Kludge-RK61-Bluetooth-5.0-And-USB-C-2.4G-Tri-Mode-RGB-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard-Rk61-i.890279864.18957921376?sp_atk=286e92ef-d27e-4ce0-b770-d5621e322c43&xptdk=286e92ef-d27e-4ce0-b770-d5621e322c43)

i have 3 rk keyboards rk61, rh81 and rk-m75, lahat yun nagloko mga key switches wala pang 1 year. i guess low quality tlga yung stock switches ni rk ..since hotswappable naman, i've replaced them with akko switches so far so good. RH81 battery life is pretty good.. 1 month ata inaabot bago ako mag recharge.

I have rk61 from royal kludge It’s remarkable keyboard

Budget? Check [Royal Kludge RK61](https://ph.shp.ee/WuNp43P) ito gamit ko, white color din sa akin below 1.9k lang ito with vouchers

So far wala naman, 2+ years nato sa akin, planu ko to pa mod by the end of the month, lube and foam lang..

They're what I currently use and no complains so far. They're cheaper than Leopold but not as high-end (still fine for normal use cases though).
