> 24 hourI ordered both the RK68 and the RK84, the RK68 had blue switches and the RK84 has brown switches. The size of the RK84 is literally one key row bigger than the RK68, if its strictly desk space youre looking for, I would choose the RK84 10 times out of 10. The placement of the keys is also much better on the RK84, on the RK68 the delete key and the print screen key should be swapped. Its absolutely crazy that they would decide to place the print screen in the top right, and the delete key underneath that. As for the connectivity issues that many people speak about with their dongles, get an extender or move the USBs to somewhere other than the back of your motherboard. I have a Razer Orochi V2 and when that is plugged into the rear of the computer, I have significant connection issues. Much like every mouse Ive ever used, besides the G Pro wireless. In order to counteract this, all you need to do is move your USBs from behind all that hardware, to wherever the front USB is on your computer, if you dont have that or those are full, get a desktop USB stand and plug it into that. You would need to do this with 99% of wireless receivers on the market anyway. The range on the RK84 is about 20 feet to maintain perfect connection (i.e. every single key press will still be received). As for the ergonomics, if you havent tried either browns or blues, go with browns. If youve tried blues but not browns, go with the browns. If youve tried blues and reds but hated the linearness of the reds... go with browns. The blues are a little hollow sounding but are amazing to type on, however the sound that they make is enough to make you go insane if you have to write a 10 page paper like I have. The browns have enough bass to make you feel all funny inside, hitting the spacebar is like listening to the lowest voice in a barbershop quartet. Overall, this keyboard is amazing and if youre deciding between the RK60, RK68, RK71, and this one. Get this one. The battery life is so much longer that you will only have to charge it maybe once a week with moderate to heavy use.

> 24 hourI’m genuinely impressed by this keyboard. This is my first “enthusiast” level mechanical keyboard, and it’s surprisingly good for the price. The reviews on YouTube don’t do it justice. I think they updated the board and include most of the “mods” people do normally; like in the YouTube videos. The board sounds more similar out of the box to the “after modding” on the YouTube reviews now than it does to what it sounds like when they unbox it. Really good sound and feel out of this board. Premium feel for value price.

> 24 hourPros: - Feels solid and premium for the price. - Stabilizers are also solid and do not require clipping (no rattling here). - Mine came pre-installed with foam in the bottom of the case AND between the PCB/Plate which was not mentioned in the videos I watched so that was a pleasant surprise! Cons: - Stock switches are *ok* kind of scratchy IMO. I replaced mine with Gateron Milky Yellows that I hand lubbed. - Unboxing experience is boring if youre into that, but Im more interested in the product rather than the packaging. - Comes with a regular plastic USB cable, nothing special but thats what you get for the price. Overall this thing is awesome and is even better after modding/customizing!

> 24 hourI am by no means a keyboard enthusiast at all, so take this review with a grain a salt. This is my first mechanical keyboard that Ive ever used. I was very hesitant because looking for a gaming keyboard to transition to pc gaming (I mainly use ps4 controller) seems like a difficult task to someone who has no knowledge of peripherals whatsoever. Ive watched a few videos and stumbled upon this keyboard and it seems to tick every check box (that I know of) that a enthusiast might want. Mechanical keyboard? check Hotswap switches? check bluetooth? check 2.4 ghz connection? check usb c to standard usb cable? check large battery? check RGB? check RGB pattern effects? check Software? check Macros? check Key mapping? check There maybe more to name but thats all I have at the moment. You can also remove the outside frame to give the keys a floating look. The switches are cherry mx red clones made by TTC. They are easy to type on, with some type of grittiness feeling when pressing keys down. Maybe lubing the switches will further improve the experience. All of the keycaps are marked with the available controls like the volume, play/pause, skip back/forward, default app shortcuts, rgb settings and 5 bluetooth connections on QWERT keys. You can record macros on the software included in the amazon product information or thru a shortcut mentioned in the included direction booklet (I dont remember at the top of my head. Speaking of which, the software link in the amazon product information seemed sketchy because its a direct download of a zip file and does not send you to a official product site. Upon extracting the files, they are legitimate. When installing one of the software installers are in Chinese (firmware I think? doesnt install unless keyboard is connected via usb-c cable) and then the other is in English (the actual keyboard software). The software seems to work only when the keyboard is connected via usb. Once its connected, itll give you all the options to remap keys, record macros, and different rgb settings such as rgb pattern type, speed, and color selection. Overall, with all of these options for the price I paid ($64 - Black Friday price), its hard to beat in my opinion! UPDATE I took the keyboard apart to see what’s inside: Outside frame and case: some sort of plastic Key switches: TTC-KS4A Series (in my case, TTC Reds [unlubed]) Keyboard plate: some sort of metal, powder coated Stabilizers: lubed already, surprisingly. Plate mounted only PCB: hotswappable with Bluetooth/2.4 Ghz ALSO wired mode has 2 USB ports for USB pass through

> 24 hourI had a Logitech & like this so much better. I got the brown keys & it types very nicely and is on the quieter side for a mechanical. And I love the colored lights!

> 24 hourThe biggest complaint people seem to have with this keyboard is the software. Well, unless you need macros or to create custom layers, you neednt bother. This keeb is supported by SignalRGB! That being said, the build quality is exceptional for this price point, it is hot-swappable, and the lighting looks really good! I am giving this keyboard as a gift to my daughter, and I know she will absolutely love it! I may consider swapping out the switches with some Kailh Box Whites, and already did swap the keycaps with XVX low-profile double-shot PBT shine-throughs, but the Gateron Blues are probably good enough for now...

> 24 hourGot the RK84 for my wife, I got myself a mechanical keychron keyboard which hasn’t been delivered yet, but I’ve already played around with the RK84 and it’s definitely a steal. Sturdy, heavy, clicky. Love this thing. Very user friendly. I almost think I should have just got this instead of keychron.

> 24 hourIm writing this review with the keyboard a few hours after dropping a whole glass of water on it. I managed to take it apart, dry it out and clean any oxidation off the back of the board and immediately use it. Now, Im not saying this will work for everyone but Im incredibly happy it did for me. Im mostly mentioning this to highlight how easily taken apart it is and highly modular it is. For games, its really good but I would suggest that if youre into shooters or any other games that require super low latency, just connect it with the cable. Dont rely on the bluetooth. Ive noticed that when Im Jiggle peeking which basically means Im alternating between the a and d keys very quickly it seems to lag on a certain output for a bit. When it comes to the RGB, its good. Not amazing like the expensive brands out there, but it has the basic necessities and the colors that every other KB has.

> 24 hourThis keyboard is basically the greatest purchase I have ever made when it comes to electronics and thats quite something because I am notoriously very stingy with my money. I am only now getting into becoming a keyboard enthusiast/ hobbyist but from the tremendous amount of research that I did before actually buying this keyboard, it seems like this one is the smartest buy possible (especially the hot swappable version) I was pretty excited to take it apart and mod it but to my tremendous shock it feels soo good out of the box that I feel like it would really be a waste to take it apart so quickly. I had some contact with customer service to get a link to the software for this keyboard because it seemed like the link was broken at the time but they were very quick to respond and very helpful which is a huge plus. Anyway this is a 10/10 no matter how I look at it.
