I’ve spent the last few weeks putting the 61keys Wired 60% Arabic English Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Rock Keyboard – Model Number: Rock Keyboard) through its paces. This compact keyboard promises a blend of bilingual functionality, satisfying mechanical typing, and ergonomic comfort. Let’s dive into whether it delivers on these promises.

The Rock Keyboard immediately stands out with its bilingual Arabic and English keycaps. This is a fantastic feature for users who need both alphabets readily available. The 60% layout is incredibly space-saving, making it ideal for smaller desks or travel. The blue switches provide a satisfying tactile bump and audible click – perfect for those who enjoy the feel of a mechanical keyboard. The build quality feels surprisingly robust for its compact size. The inclusion of a detachable Type-C cable is a welcome addition, enhancing both portability and cable management. The ergonomic design, with its slightly elevated key arrangement and adjustable feet, is designed to reduce strain during extended use.

Typing on the Rock Keyboard is a genuinely pleasant experience. The blue switches provide a nice balance of responsiveness and feedback. The key travel is comfortable, and the anti-ghosting feature works flawlessly even during intense gaming sessions. The bilingual keycaps are accurately labelled and easy to read. I found the layout intuitive after a short adjustment period. The keyboard performed well in various scenarios – from writing emails and documents to playing fast-paced games. The compact size initially took some getting used to, but it quickly became an asset.

I did notice a slight issue with the stability of the keyboard on certain surfaces. While the feet help, on some desks the keyboard felt a tad wobbly. This is a minor issue, however, and is easily mitigated by placing it on a sturdy surface. The overall performance exceeded my expectations for a keyboard in this price range.

Pros:

• Bilingual Arabic and English keycaps
• Compact 60% layout
• Satisfying blue mechanical switches
• Robust build quality
• Ergonomic design
• Detachable Type-C cable
• Excellent anti-ghosting

Cons:

• Minor stability issues on certain surfaces
• May require some adjustment for those used to full-size keyboards.

Overall, the 61keys Wired 60% Arabic English Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Rock Keyboard) is a fantastic keyboard, particularly for users who need a compact, durable, and bilingual option. The blue switches deliver a superb typing experience, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable for extended use. While minor stability concerns exist, these are overshadowed by its many positive attributes. I wholeheartedly recommend the Rock Keyboard to anyone looking for a high-quality compact mechanical keyboard with Arabic support.
