The Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro is a great wireless, mechanical keyboard. This compact board is an amazing choice for gamers, as it features customizable RGB backlighting, macro-programmable keys, and the Gateron Brown switches on our unit offer a very light experience. However, if you don't like the feel of the Brown switches, you can also get this keyboard with Red or Black switches, which are quiet and linear, or Blue switches, which are loud and clicky. Unfortunately, the companion software isn't very user-friendly, as setting macros and customizing the backlighting can be annoying to figure out. Also, while the latency is decently low over a wired connection, it's terribly high via Bluetooth.
Our Verdict
The Dierya DK61E is a remarkable gaming keyboard. The Gateron Brown switches on our unit offer a light and tactile gaming experience. Also, the PBT plastic keycaps feel good to touch and feel stable overall. There's RGB backlighting and programmable macros, but they can only be customized in the companion software, which can be difficult to use. Also, the keyboard lacks any incline settings or a wrist rest and can cause fatigue. Unfortunately, while the latency is decently low over a wired connection, it's terribly high over a Bluetooth connection.

While the keyboard is compact, it's quite heavy for its size.

The Dierya DK61E is decent for use with a home theater PC. It supports Bluetooth and has excellent compatibility. It has media controls through hotkeys, but it lacks a trackpad to control the mouse cursor. There's RGB backlighting, which is great for dark room viewing. Unfortunately, the latency is terribly high via Bluetooth, so there may be a noticeable delay.
- Gateron Brown switches offer great typing quality.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Dierya DK61 is a wireless, mechanical compact (60%) keyboard with a great build and PBT plastic keycaps. It can pair with up to three devices, unlike the similar Obinslab Anne Pro 2, which can be paired with up to four devices. Every key is macro-programmable and the RGB backlighting can be customized with the companion software, unlike similar keyboards that require you to do the customization on the boards themselves, such as the Keychron K6.

The Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro and the Razer Huntsman Mini are both compact gaming keyboards, but the Razer can only be used wired, whereas the Dierya can be used both wired and wirelessly. The Dierya is available in a variety of switches, while the Razer is only available with linear and optical switches. The Dierya has worse typing quality because it feels laggy due to its high latency. Both keyboards come with a customization software that lets you customize backlighting and set macros, but neither are available on macOS.
The Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro and the Razer Huntsman are very different keyboards. The Dierya has a compact 60% layout and can be used wirelessly, while the Razer is full-sized and can only be used wired. If you want a keyboard that you can use with multiple devices, the Dierya may be a better choice since its Bluetooth support lets you pair with up to three devices at once, and it's compatible with a variety of operating systems, including iOS and Android. However, the Bluetooth is sometimes unreliable, and the latency is very high. If you want a keyboard for gaming, the Razer may be a better choice since it has very low latency, so you shouldn't notice any delays.
The Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro is a better keyboard than the Ducky Mecha Mini V2. The Dierya can be used wirelessly over Bluetooth and has companion software available to customize the RGB backlighting and set macros. That said, the Ducky's build is much better as it's made of aluminum and has one incline setting.
The Obinslab Anne Pro 2 and the Dierya x KEMOVE DK61 Pro are both compact and wireless gaming keyboards. The Obinslab may be a better choice, especially for gaming, since its latency is much better than the Dierya whether over a wired connection or over Bluetooth. The tactile Gateron Brown switches on our Dierya unit have a slightly lower operating force than the same switches on our Obinslab unit, but the difference is very small and likely won't be noticeable. However, the pre-travel distance is much shorter on the Dierya, which should result in a more responsive feel. Both can be used wired or wirelessly and can pair with multiple devices simultaneously over Bluetooth, but the Obinslab can pair with up to four devices at once, while the Dierya can pair with up to three at once.
