my new cheap portable RGB gaming keyboard for MacBook pro M1 Pro


RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Wired 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact Hot Swappable Red Switch Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love the 60% RGB gaming keyboard. It's so compact, portable, and light. Love the different colors and various modes available. Although, it can be a little annoying at times. Significantly, the one I'm using right now when I need to use the arrow keys. I'll need to press FN+W to activate it.

I don't use the arrow keys that often unless when I'm blogging or typing code. I'm not a pro coder but, I like dabbling with python and that's when I'll need to use the arrow keys. If you're a programmer or coder, I'm assuming you'll prefer a full keyboard size instead.

You might also prefer one that is wireless. I just realized mine doesn't come with a rechargeable battery. Probably, one of the reasons it's cheap. Wish it comes with a USB-c to c cable. My MacBook pro m1 pro doesn't have a USB-A type port. Had to use an adapter.

I think I have a USB-c to c cable somewhere. Have to remember where I've kept it. Nowadays, you want to be as light as possible and also wireless without the hassle of cables. I can even transfer pics and videos wirelessly from my Nikon Zfc to my mac.

I did some search and there doesn't seem to have any RGB Mac mechanical gaming keyboard. Yes, you can use the normal gaming keyboard on a mac but the keycaps are normally the Win logo. Luckily, you can buy keycaps replacement with either logo.

If you're using the 60% gaming keyboard, for example, you'll have to press the Win + c or V to copy and paste. I like to change the Win logo to a Mac logo just like a mac keyboard. What can I say, I'm freaking loving my Macbook pro right now.

I like to mod and change things up. Like my bicycles, I've changed the boring handlebar, pedals, and stems to a more colorful design. That's why I also like to play around with raspberry pi, dabble with python, DIY robotic cars, etc. It's really fun!

You can check out some of my DIY projects on my youtube channel here. Well, I found my USB-c to c cable. Now, I don't need the adapter. I also just remembered to use the mac ports' dust plugs for the extra USB c and earphone plugs. Have I told you I found a nice hard case for my mac?

Oh yeah, what's using an RGB gaming keyboard without a good RGB gaming mouse eh? Of course, all these products are my own preferences setup. Now, I love my MacBook pro more. Lol. When I post about my new 14-inch MacBook pro M1 pro there are actually sour grapes people. 

One comment is that it's nothing to shout about me getting a Macbook pro. Another says it's not good for gaming, while my video shows Dirt 4 running on my Mac. It plays smoothly and the sound on this MacBook is pretty loud too. 

Anyway, who cares what they think. I'm the one enjoying using this Mac. Thinking of playing Diablo after this.

What do you guys think?

Apple 14 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro Chip unboxing


2021 Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, Apple M1 Pro chip with 8‑core CPU and 14‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Space Gray

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Bought my first-ever Apple Macbook pro. I got the 14-inch Macbook pro with the M1 pro chip instead of the latest M2 chip. To tell the truth, if I had more money, I would have got the 16-inch version which is much better for my eyes.

Well, we can't have everything. The good thing is it's very portable. Still a tad heavy than my HP 15-inch laptop. I'm still learning to use a MacBook being a Windows user since the mid-90s. The main reason is actually the price and work.

It's not that I have never touched a Macbook. I remembered my ex-GF bought a MacBook that you can also boot to a windows system. That's probably the first time I've used a MacBook. Oh, I also bought a Macbook gold (unboxing video 2015) a couple years back which I sold later on.  

This is definitely the first time I bought and owned a MacBook Pro. That's why I'm so excited. Somebody commented on my youtube video that it's a non-event. Such a sour grape. It's not important anyway. What's important is that, so far, I'm really happy with it.

The user experience is definitely different. For starters, I'm used to hammering on my Razer gaming keyboard to type. This keyboard is rather shallow and springy. I guess it's meant for touch-typing. I have a problem with numbness in my hands while using it. 

Love the fingerprint sensor for quick access back into the system when you're away from the keyboard. Another cool thing is whenever you lift up the screen, it will automatically boot up. Wish I could use my fingerprint to log in but you still need to enter your password.

I wanted a MacBook Pro with the M1 pro or Max chip because I need a good laptop that can handle 4K videos. My HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 and 8GB ram seems to stutter a bit when I tried to edit my videos. Might have solved it if I upgraded to 16GB or more RAMS.

This 14-inch MacBook Pro comes with the M1 pro chip and 16GB ram. The Max seems to be better because I'm assuming more CPU and GPU cores. If you have the dough and working on 4K or higher resolution videos, go for as high specs as you can afford to future-proof it.

I'm almost at the end of this blog post and I'm getting better at using the keyboard and loving the clickable touchpad. I keep forgetting you need to press to click and not just 'touch'. It's really big and wide. I remember using it when I had the Macbook Gold and kinda miss it. 

A few new things I've never used before like the MagSafe magnetic charging is pretty cool. I'm already used to the USB C ports. Linking my iPhone 13 to the Mac and using whatsapp to chat or the Facetime camera. Really sharp. The customizable cool docking system and all the apps. 

The speakers is loud but I prefer using my Bluetooth earbuds better. Especially, as I'm partially deaf. I also like to play around with the terminal and coding simple python in it. I have an iPhone and iPad and if you've been using them, you'll be familiar with all the apps available.

In all, I'm really happy with my MacBook purchased and can't get enough of it!
