> 3 daySo I have used this daily since I bought it about a month ago. The build quality is good but not great. I have seen better and I have also seen much much worse at this price. I got the blue switches and they are really really nice for the money. Just not for an office environment. The wireless works pretty good when gaming only really had a few hiccups playing some fast paced fps games. The wired connection I havent tried yet. The bluetooth works well most of the time. I bought this keyboard for the sole purpose to use with Samsung dex. When you start dex it works great. If you have to do a lot of text editing or writing more than a few lines in a document. It falls apart pretty quickly. When typing after a while it will fail to show up correctly on screen with characters being out of place or the first letter being at the end of the word. Not a deal breaker for me though. The price and the ability to travel with it very well makes up for that. Overall I would say that it is definitely worth the money for the switches alone. As long as you keep your expectations in line with the price it is a great keyboard.

> 3 dayOne of the LEDs is already starting to discolor and I haven’t had this product for more than a month. All other features are great, but discoloration this early is disheartening.

> 3 dayBeen using her for like a week, the browns are honestly pretty nice, i wouldnt call them holy pandas or anything but they definitely dont feel horrible. Little inconsistencies from key to key but its very minor. I havnt lost any switches but the main reason i say they could be switched out for better ones is that i see a lot of reviews saying frequently used keys stopped working within months. Easy fix i usually put my own switches in anyway. Pull key cap, pull switch, put new ones on. Its easy and a great benefit of the board being hotswappable. My ONLY question is WHERE IS THE RGB SOFTWARE THAT IT SHOWS IN THE INFORMATION SECTION???? Does that software not exist anymore or what cause i cant find it. There are three pictures showing different sections of a keyboard software that APPEARS to make the board programmable. and it SAYS the keyboard is programmable. but i havnt seen it on any website anywhere

> 3 dayThis is not like any other keyboard, READ THE MANUAL! If the manual is not followed, it will cause an issue, so I highly recommend following the instructions. Once the keyboard is setup, then make changes that will suite your needs.

> 3 dayUpdated (October 2022) - the seller reached out to to offer a warranty replacement / refund, so I’ve updated my overall rating to reflect my experience with the keyboard prior to when the ‘A’ key stopped working. I also pulled the keyboard apart to see if I could identify the issue causing the ‘A’ key to not work. There appears to be a broken solder joint on the component that contacts the switch. - - - - - - - - - - Original Review - - - - - - - - - - - As much as Id like to recommend this keyboard due to the combination of price & features, Id strongly consider another make & model instead. I purchased this keyboard in January 2022 and used it daily for both work & personal use until the A key spontaneously stopped working in September 2022. Swapping in a known good switch did not resolve the problem and the switch that was installed in the A key position works fine in other positions. Based on this, Id guess a component came unsoldered from the PCB or something similar. I contacted the product support link that Amazon has attached to my order, but they informed me they are a RK reseller, not the manufacturer. And evidently they werent the seller for my Amazon order, so they cant provide support... Absent of the spontaneous failure, Id probably rate this as a 4-star keyboard. Since it broke in such a short amount of time, and I cant get product support, I cant rate it anything higher than 1-star. Unfortunately it looks like this one is just going to end up in the electronics recycling pile. PROS - Supports BT, 2.4GHz wireless (with USB-A dongle) or USB-C wired connection - Supports multiple BT devices (easily switch between them with a key combo) - Supports Windows & Mac - Battery powered allows for fully wireless use - Compact size makes it easy to transport - Red switches have a nice feel & sound - LED lighting & effects are a nice-to-have feature CONS - The keyboard is pretty tall and can be uncomfortable without a wrist rest - Battery life isnt great, especially when LED effects are used - Difficult to find working firmware updates / software from Royal Kludge - The key combos for changing functionality arent fully documented in the manual (or on-line) - Manufacturer website / product support is difficult (impossible?) to find - Product durability is sub-par (my A key quit working after ~9 months)

> 3 dayThis keyboard is great for gaming. As a gamer myself, this keyboard seems too good for the price! I bought it for about $50 which is crazy for how good this keyboard is. Unfortunately I did return this keyboard because I couldn’t get used to it being 60%. I loved everything about this keyboard so I bought the RK87. I made a more detailed review on that if you would like to check that out. However, if you’re looking for an awesome cheap 60% keyboard, this is the one to buy.

> 3 dayMy 10 yr old is obsessed with key boards. He does his re search and even has some great expensive high quality key boards I have purchased for him. This is by far his favorite. He has changed the keys on it but for preference in color and sound. He loves this keyboard better than his 300 dollar one.
