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, bilingual (Arabic and English) typing experience with a mechanical feel. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting this set through its paces, testing its performance in both gaming and everyday use. This review will detail my experiences, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.
Features
The KM61MC boasts several key features designed for both gaming and productivity. The compact 60% keyboard layout saves desk space, while the ergonomic mouse design aims to minimize hand fatigue during extended use. The bilingual Arabic and English keyboard layout is a significant advantage for those needing this functionality. The 2.4G wireless connection ensures a stable and lag-free experience within a 10-meter range. The rechargeable battery with its long life is a welcome addition, minimizing the need for frequent charging. The RGB backlighting adds a nice touch for those who appreciate it, though it can be disabled for those who prefer a cleaner aesthetic. The mechanical feel keys provide satisfying tactile feedback.

Performance
The keyboard’s mechanical feel is surprisingly good for a budget-friendly option. The keystrokes are responsive, and the feedback is satisfying. Typing on the keyboard is comfortable for extended periods. The mouse is also responsive and comfortable to use, even during extended gaming sessions. I experienced no noticeable lag or interference during my testing, which is impressive for a 2.4GHz wireless connection. The battery life lived up to its claims; I easily got over 40 hours of continuous use before needing a recharge. The bilingual functionality worked flawlessly, switching smoothly between Arabic and English characters.
However, the smaller size of the keyboard did take some getting used to, and some users might find the lack of a number pad inconvenient. The RGB backlighting, while visually appealing, is a bit simplistic. More customization options would be welcome. Also, while the description mentions the keyboard supports energy-saving sleep mode, I noticed no apparent power-saving features in use. This was a minor issue, as the battery life is still impressive.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact design, comfortable ergonomics, responsive keys and mouse, long battery life, bilingual keyboard layout, affordable price.
- Cons: Smaller keyboard size (might be inconvenient for some), limited RGB customization, minor initial adjustment required.
Final Verdict
Overall, the ROCK POW KM61MC Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo is a solid option for users looking for a compact, budget-friendly, and surprisingly feature-rich set. The bilingual keyboard is a standout feature. The long battery life and responsive input make it suitable for both gaming and productivity. While the smaller size and limited RGB customization might be drawbacks for some, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses. I would recommend this combo to users who value portability and long battery life without sacrificing responsiveness.
