> 3 dayOverall rating 8/10. Out of the box the feel was very nice. I had never used this type of linear switch before, but I can say it is very close to a classic gateron yellow. The stabs come prelubed with a thicker lubricant (thicker than 205g0). The caps seem to be decent enough quality, and I havent noticed any obvious printing errors, or any errors in the placement of keys. The layers can take a bit to get used to, but overall usability is still very good even out of the box. The keyspacing is also incredibly decent, I would say Im particularly sensitive to weird keyspacing and I easily type 110+ wpm with this keyboard. This keyboard is definitely not a disposable office toy. Its a nice addition to your desk or collection. Take care.

> 3 dayIm used to yellow switches, so this keyboard took a bit of getting used to. I found that they were a bit lighter in the top than what my fingers have grown to expect, but over a week of use, I have grown to like them a lot. This keyboard is pretty much perfect out of the box. My stabilizers were a little bit rattly, but nothing that a little bit of bandage and dielectric grease couldnt take care of. I have gotten about a week or so with RGB being on with average usage. The keyboard has no issues waking up from sleep, so I have no issues with setting the sleep mode with their software to be a bit more aggressive than normal. The RK software works well with the keyboard (even over RF) for configuration of sleep, colors, and key mapping. I wish the stabilizers were a bit better out of the box, but these are a quick fix, or replacement if they really bother you. The key caps feel good to type on, and I havent had the urge to swap them out *yet*. The key switches come out with a reasonable amount of force, so if I do want to go back to my yellows that I love so much, it wont be that difficult to do. The switches feel good enough that I dont see myself doing it. If you are concerned about battery life, the USB-c connection works well for direct connection to the computer. The benefit of the direct connection with the USB port on the keyboard reminds me of the old style Mac keyboard from way back in the day. The Bluetooth mode works really well for phones, and Ive had no issues connecting to iOS, iPad-OS, or Android devices with Bluetooth. If there were just a bit more sound treatment, or better stabs, this would be 5 stars. If you dont mind doing a little work to mod the keyboard, than this will be the perfect starting keyboard for you.

> 3 dayWas hesitant at first, but as soon as I got it in my hands I instantly fell in love with it. The keys feel great. Can do both wired and wireless and it is easy to switch between the two options. Came with a cord that does both USB-C to C, and USB-C to A. Multiple color modes that are almost endless. Very happy with this keyboard - exactly what I wanted.

> 3 dayThis is a problem. I already have a favorite keyboard, my Royal Kludge RK84 Pro, but I wanted to see what all the rage was about with 60% keyboards. I might get it now. I notice the size difference, but it is intuitive with the exception of the cursor keys, which are always on, you will have to use the Fn key to use the right Alt, Ctrl, etc. which is the opposite of what the keys indicate. The RK linear SkyCyan switches are much improved over my RK linear browns, and overall it is a much quieter keyboard. It is also lighter. Overall this keyboard is very nice for the price. Wireless with a dongle, wired for use and charging, and 3 Bluetooth options, a USB hub, RGB, and some nice linear switches. You won’t find much, if anything, in this price range with those features. I only wish I could change the angle, but this keyboard doesn’t have any adjustments for that. The switches on the back over the bottom are a nice improvement, though I’m still not sure why the wireless dongle option is labeled “G” This might not replace my work keyboard, but I think I have a new favorite gaming keyboard. If you need to save desktop space, enjoy a default height keyboard, and can use those features, you cannot go wrong with this keyboard.

> 3 dayThis RK Royal Kludge keyboard is great for beginner and seasoned keyboard users. This particular model can operate wirelessly in Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz mode. I tested 2.4Ghz mode, which requires you to plug in the small USB-A dongle that it comes with that conveniently stores magnetically on the underside of the keyboard. Simply plug in the dongle into your computer, and turn on the wireless mode and set the keyboard to 2.4Ghz mode. Thats it! Youre now using it wirelessly. I tested it typing a document, and playing a FPS video game. I didnt notice any significant lag while playing the game wirelessly versus wired. The switches are very quiet and require little force for actuation. If youre not fond of the switches it comes with, you can power off the keyboard and easily remove the switches and replace them with new switches that you can buy online. These are hot swappable switches, which means you can simply pull them from the board and plug in new switches without having to de-solder the old switches and solder new switches. Overall the keyboard seems to be great quality, and value!
