> 3 dayThis is definitely a statement of a keyboard. The colors look better in-person than in the images. If youre a fan of retro electronics, this will be a great addition to your collection. If you like to customize your keycaps, this might give you some trouble since the colors on it are pretty specific. Functionally, its a fantastic keyboard. The functionality dial works well and turns easily. The lights are nice and bright. The switches feel good - nice and smooth with low resistance (I got the silver switches). It is a heavy keyboard - maybe not the best for a lot of on-the-go use.

Greater than one weekFor 80$, this retro looking keyboard is a steal! It has a good sound tempering, budget switches, hot-swap 3/5 pin board and double-shot cherry pbt keycaps! Out of box sound is amazing. Pretty decent wireless connectivity (BT + 2.4G) with good battery life. I only didnt like mode changing knob. It could be moved to the under of the keyboard and they could add volume knob instead of it.

> 3 dayThis keyboard the color scheme I though online was alot brighter, but it turned out to be alot more muted and neutral colored which I actually enjoy. Feels like an old school look but they have that dark blue/ black and white selection if this isnt your color scheme. This keyboard feautres BT/2.4Ghz/Wired, all worked correctly, no issues at all. I do like that the connection options are on a dial or at least on the front as with their 1800 keyboard to switch between 2.4Ghz and BT, you had to flip over the keyboard and flip a little switch. This would be asking for alot, but to program the keyboard with the Fn and certain keys to swap modes instead and have a volume knob would be amazing. Sublegends/labels for the functions is a nice touch to see. Plenty of RGB modes for you to choose between. The battery display I love how they implemented it as usually I only see a color scale between green to red to identify if you need to charge it but here you get a whole row to show they battery level. The gasket mount design was very interesting to see at this price point. This allows flex when you type in the keyboard so if you type hard/bottom out alot, this will less the pressure youll get back on your hands when you type. You wont see too much flex but it is better than tray mounted. For stabilizers are pretty good except the space bar which is a bit sharp (presumably the wire isnt lubed correctly or its not balanced). They would be easy to modify though if you needed as theyre plate mounted stabilizers. Subjectively, the switches in this keyboard are rather scratchy, but they do pretty good if you want to go the extra mile and lube them or swap the switches out. The keycaps arent the best Ive had, but they are higher quality keycaps in my opinion. Overall, this is great keyboard for those that want a more compact keyboad but dont want to compromise everything to have more space on your desk. Id recommend this to anyone looking for a smaller keyboard but dont want to break the bank. To my knowledge though, people still dont want to spend almost a 100 dollars on a keyboard when you have super cheap membrane keyboards. But you do pay for what you get.

> 3 dayThis 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!

Greater than one weekAlmost everything feels just right about this keyboard. The dial is well-designed if you expect to be using multiple devices. Typing on this feels very satisfying and makes just the right sound. I also like the RK61 which has the same SkyCyan switches, but they feel even better on this board. RGB lighting and battery life are also fantastic. The only negative I can think of is the 3 buttons on the right side arent quite ideal. Pause seems like a less common key to need there. Id prefer if Home and End were a bit more accessible. I believe you can tweak this by just changing out the keycaps with the included tool, then using software to remap the keys and save the change to firmware. Seems pretty easy to do. If you like the size and want to connect to multiple devices, I highly recommend the RK H81.

Greater than one weekThis keyboard has the crisp snap of a good mechanical switch. The switches and key caps are removeable and hot swappable for full customization. It does come with a few extra switches as well. The knob makes selecting between Bluetooth paired devices (up to 3) and the 2.4ghz dongle a snap. It is not a full size keyboard but the layout and key placement is great. The lighting is super customizable so check the instructions on how to set it up to get the most out of this great device. The battery does last about 6 days with heavy gaming use and its super responsive. My son who is a pc gaming addict said its the best keyboard he has ever used and attempted to remove it from my possession. I ultimately may end up ordering him one so he will keep his spacebar clicking hands off mine.

> 3 dayThis is my second RK keyboard. The first one is RK84 with red switches and the second one is this, 81 keys with sky cyan switches. Im very pleased with the RK81. first thing is that the sound is great without modding. I modded the RK84 by myself and the sound and the feeling is great, of course, but the RK81 even does not need to do that. sky cyan switch is slightly heavier than the red switch, and I kind of like it. One thing I want for this keyboard is that the knob would have been nicer, like with a metal frame. Hope that at least this company would sell the metal knobs for replacement. I think that will make this keyboard much fancier in the current price range. The battery is enough for me, I think. Not super long, but not too short-live. will use this keyboard for about weeks and probably then I can update my review.
