RK ROYAL KLUDGE H81 Hot Swappable Mechanical Keyboard, Triple Mode 2.4Ghz/BT5.1/USB-C Knob Control Wireless Gaming Keyboard Gasket Mounted with RGB Backlit SkyCyan Switch, 75% Layout 81 Keys

I have about 7 Keyboards. 2 Wired + 5 Wireless 4 Wireless keyboards were about an average $80. Best quality & Best quite but has lovely mechanic sounds. easy to get used to and it responds very quickly. I will get another one soon. I recommend this keyboard for sure!

I have been using a Mac style thin keyboard for several years, and while it has been good, the feel of the keys was not what I have grown up with. With this mechanical keyboard, I feel a great responsiveness to the keys and how the overall weight of the keyboard does not slide around. The many Bluetooth and 2.4ghz settings allow me to use multi-PCs for work and home use. Overall great product!

Great beginners board to tinker with. Or keep it stock, it felt and sounded good out of the box.

The keyboard looks fantastic. It has a greyish base with an interesting retro shape -- which is very reminisisent of older computers. The base is plastic, but feels well made. The knob on the top right also has a cool retro look. The keycaps are a mix of a dark steely grey, white and grey. The keycaps have the function legends on the bottom of the keycaps which makes them look clean. The keycaps arent shine through, but look real good. No additional vanity keycaps though. This is my first experience with RKs own switches. They arent bad at all. They type, sound and feel good. It has a real good sound without any mods. The gasket mounted plate seems to make a big difference too. I dont hear much rattling and no springy sound with the space bar. The 75% keyboards usually have all the important keys while keeping it compact. Though the layout is a bit weird. Theres a pause key but no dedicated home key. And the home and end keys that are provided via the Fn button are oddly far away from each other. Feel like they should have made home and end dedicated keys and removed Pause. Couldnt find a way to remap the keys. Both Bluetooth and the 2.4 modes work on my Mac Book -- I dont notice any delay or lag when doing basic typing tasks. The 2.4 adapter also has its own dedicated slot under the keyboard for safe keeping which is wonderful. The slot if magnetic. No worries about losing the adapter. Other things to notice it has an extra usb slot that can be used as a hub, and it comes with some extra switches. Noticing something the keyboard isnt responsive when using the wired mode and I need to plug and unplug the cable. I had it happen a few times, and not sure whats causing it. Ive also had the keyboard lag-a-bit and then get stuck pressing a key. Again reseating the cable fixed this. These issues seem to be rare, but thought Id point it out.

It was a gift

(The photo of the board in the review is not the original keycap and switches.) Update: their customer service contacted me then solve my problems with the switches, so if you find anything that is not to your liking I have no doubt they would take care of you as well. the highlight of this board is the solution of multiple device selection, it is one of the better ones on the market right now, the knob is responsive and easy to use. but the lower capacity of the battery will limit your time of use without charging. the material used for the board is decent for its price, the plastic feels high quality and molded properly, and it has the standard sound absorbing sheets plus a nice set of onboard stabilizers, thus even is on the lighter side of things, it still has a good enough sound profile for its price while I would still recommend you change the cap/switch if you plan on using the board as a daily driver. its also very unfriendly to any enthusiast that wants to tinker with the board because the screw holes on the bottom are all behind the rubber feet, I just cant wrap my mind around this design choice, it has no upside but all the downsides! another weird choice is to use the pause key as the last key on R2 --- how many people actually use the pause key nowadays? isnt home or end the better choice? not to mention you never gonna find a keycap set with an R2 pause key. the gasket mounting is a meh, it did provide a bit of wiggle room under higher pressure but I doubt anyone would type with such force, so if you dislike the stiffness of a plate mounting system this could be good for you, but if you looking for “the bounce” this is not it. the RGB and the FN are standard for a pre-build entry board, simple and easy but limited, you cant customize the keys, only choose what is already been set. So my conclusion is: this is a great starting point if you are new to the mechanical keyboard scene and willing to buy better caps and switches plus the need to switch between multiple devices often. but if you already have other mechanical boards and love to tinker with them, there are many better choices.

Overall it’s a solid keyboard for the price. Has a solid battery life and sounds decent out of the box without any modifications done to it. Looks really clean. Only downside for me was the RGB was not the best. The white looks blue and other colors look off. Other than that it is a solid Keyboard for the price.

really nice sounds for only being $80. so many RGB colors and options! the design is so cool. i got this for my bf for valentines and he loves it. great keyboard to start out if youre interested in keyboard community. different options for USB, bluetooth, and wired

One of the keyboards I owned the longest was a compact AT keyboard with a phone cord-style cable, but when it reached the point where I had to use a ridiculous combination of adapters to use, it was time to retire it. It was also very heavy for the size. This keyboard reminds me of that in styling. The off-white base, the different color keys, the big switch, the side vents. I’m a fan of Royal Kludge’s SkyCyan linear switches, I find them to be a very nice pre-lubed switch. I have other Royal Kludge keyboards and using the function key + QWE to switch between Bluetooth modes is convenient, but this big switch is more convenient, especially since it includes an Off option which is obscured on my other RK keyboards. If you’re going for a modern white setup, this keyboard won’t quite match as the white on this keyboard is not that bright. I included a picture of my RK84 Pro for comparison. Also, the keycaps do not shine through, so they are not as visible in the dark. Lastly, the spacebar seems really loud, I’ll probably have to mod it. Otherwise, it is a great 80% keyboard.

This is a great value for the amazing typing experience you get on this keyboard. I use it for gaming and writing. I replaced a name brand G915 board with this one because I was looking for something new. There is little to no flex in the board. It is made of plastic, but the quality is good, and it is thick enough where there isnt any board flex. The color options built in are all nice and easily changeable. This board is hot swappable so you can use different switches if you prefer something other than the default linear actuation it gives you. I highly recommend this board for anyone looking for a well-rounded keyboard that will work fine for gaming and writing. It also comes with a keycap remover which is a nice touch!
