A kludge or kluge is a workaround or makeshift solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend, and hard to maintain. Its only benefit is that it rapidly solves an important problem using available resources.

Well TIL my Royal Kludge RK61 keyboard is aptly named! I hate the bloody thing
What’s wrong with it? I don’t at all doubt that something is- it’s a $50 wireless mechanical keyboard, I’m just curious.
No I mean it works perfectly fine but - it’s absolutely my fault for getting a 60% - I cannot deal with all the shortcuts and hotkey combinations. Like, the up arrow is the same key as ?, and when I was on Minecraft trying to ask a question I’d end up repeating myself because I’d hit enter as soon as I finish typing my ?. But of course the blasted thing thought I wanted the up arrow (loading the previous message sent).
Anyway that’s just me being a plonker, there’s nothing inherently wrong with Royal Kludge keyboards. Except the name maybe 🤔
