This cheatsheet lists down all the necessary shortcuts for the 60% keyboard RK61. Also along with it there are some nifty tricks with Royal Kludge's RK61. Yes there are manuals available on the internet however I find my experience using my RK61 is different than the manuals available. Therefore I write this cheatsheet.

When using the directional keys, I always have layer 1 on. I'll use my ring finger to hold the Fn key to cue the directional key layers and press the directional keys using either my index or middle finger. Some might be comfortable with having the pinky finger to hold the Fn key.
To toggle directional keys as active keys, press Fn + Enter. The /,right Alt,Menu, right Ctrl will be swapped with 🔼,
When I am connected via cable I get a different result for the F? keys. I am getting media control, brightness and stuff when I am press the Fn+F? key combination. This only happen on cable connection.
