I have a white one of these with brown switches and paid about $100, and it's called the RK61 Pro. I have no idea what model this is, but I ordered a black one with blue switches for typing angry emails, or responding to idiots on this site. Less than half price is a bit sus, but the pics look alright. Worst case scenario is that I receive a fake, hopefully a decent fake, with the loudest blue switches.

  Do the arrow keys work on their own, or do they need Fn as well?
  I purchased the Blitzwolf BW-KB0 with brown switches and really like the size- the only thing I dont like is having to use the Fn for the arrows.
  Edit: It seems like this will be very similar, it seems to need Fn+arrow or some kind of macro to work.

    You have to Fn that shit; it's annoying but that's what you sacrifice for portability/size

      Yeah, I think there is a way of customising the BW one but it is only on windows with their kind of sketchy BW app (but I need on Ubuntu also).
      Its a great size though, switched from my Keychron K2 and don't want to go back.

    I have one of these and you can have arrow key functionality by pressing enter and Fn then the arrows work.
    Shift+(up/forward slash) gives question mark. I don't really use right control or alt really, so it works well for me.

  A few notes on this:

  • This particular model/brand sometimes gets joked about because of one modded one bursting into literal flames. Also pcb failures aren't uncommon. I believe these got revised to start shipping with board and plate foam, but I don't know if they worked on the reliability of the actual board.
  • The stock software is stereotypically bad. Use Rangoli. https://rnayabed.github.io/rangoli_website/
  • These run rebranded Outemu switches. Don't be surprised if they have leaf ping or are scratchy.

  I have a white one of these with brown switches and paid about $100, and it's called the RK61 Pro.

  I believe the Pro means the case is aluminium instead of abs plastic, and they supply Gaterons instead of the Outemus.

  Thanks for the heads up OP! I ended up buying this, as I need the num pad, which also has hot swap switches:
