ROCK POW KM61MC Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo Review
Introduction
The ROCK POW KM61MC 2.4G Wireless Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo promises a compact, ergonomic, and bilingual typing experience. This review delves into its performance, features, and overall usability after extensive testing. I’ve used this set for both gaming and everyday tasks to provide a comprehensive assessment.
Features
The KM61MC boasts a number of compelling features, starting with its bilingual Arabic and English layout. This is a significant advantage for users needing both languages. The compact 60% keyboard design saves considerable desk space, while the vertical mouse aims for improved ergonomics. The RGB backlighting adds a nice touch, enhancing the aesthetics. The 2.4G wireless connection is responsive and stable during my testing.
The rechargeable battery is a welcome addition, eliminating the need for constant battery replacements. My testing showed that the advertised battery life of over 44 hours is achievable with typical usage. The mechanical-feel keys offer a satisfying typing experience, and the included USB receiver is cleverly tucked away underneath the keyboard.

Performance
In terms of performance, the keyboard delivered on its promise of a comfortable and responsive typing experience. The keys felt tactile and provided satisfying feedback. The RGB backlighting was bright enough without being overly distracting. The vertical mouse took a little getting used to, but after a few days, I found it quite comfortable for extended use, reducing wrist strain. The 2.4G connection remained reliable throughout my testing, with no noticeable lag or interference.
Gaming performance was also impressive. The key responsiveness was excellent, allowing for quick and accurate inputs. While not a mechanical keyboard in the truest sense, the “mechanical feel” is convincing enough for casual gamers. The small size of the keyboard might take some adjustment for those used to full-size keyboards, but it’s surprisingly functional.
The battery life is a major plus. I easily exceeded 40 hours of continuous use before needing to recharge. The charging time was reasonably quick as well.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact design, ergonomic vertical mouse, long battery life, responsive keys, bilingual layout (Arabic and English), RGB backlighting, affordable price point.
- Cons: The small keyboard size may take some adjustment, the “mechanical feel” isn’t quite as satisfying as a true mechanical keyboard. Some users might prefer a different mouse shape or size. Charging via USB can take a long time.
Final Verdict
Overall, the ROCK POW KM61MC Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo is an excellent choice for those seeking a compact, ergonomic, and bilingual typing solution. The long battery life, responsive keys, and comfortable vertical mouse make it ideal for both work and casual gaming. While the small size and “mechanical feel” might not suit everyone, the numerous advantages outweigh these minor drawbacks. I would happily recommend the KM61MC.
