RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK84 Wireless RGB 75% Triple Mode BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C Hot Swappable Mechanical Keyboard, 84 Keys Bluetooth Gaming Keyboard w/High-Capacity Battery, Clicky Blue Switch

The performance of the wireless mode is very poor and seems to drop off and becomes almost unresponsive often. It works ok if youre only a few feet away from it but otherwise it drops off constantly. This didnt happen for the first few months but now its a common issue and makes the board intolerable to use other than in wired mode. I cant get the Bluetooth mode to connect with the dongle that was provided either so Im stuck with the failing wifi mode.

Very solid and heavy built. pros - very bright RGB, easy to use and change without requirement of a software - fast switching between different Bluetooth devices. I dont have to manually switch within my pc like most other bluetooths. - USB C port and 2 USB A ports - Additional keycap/switch puller, extra switches included , magnetic feets. removable frame to give you that floating keycaps effect. - 3 different ways to connect, wire, Bluetooth, and dongle. cons - This is probably just a personal preference, but this keyboard sits sort of high and I feel like I need to use some sort of wrist rest. I have short fingers so I often find myself levitating my wrists just to type. - windows key had a weird dot, which you could see in the photo. - keycaps look unevenly painted, the top of each keys are more see through - stabilizers arent great. Theyre loud and a bit scratchy. Ive opened my keyboard to check and they come pre-greased, but they either need to be replaced or lubed more, especially my spacebar and enter There is quite a bit of rattling from the stabilizers. - bluetooth connection stops at around 4.3-5 ft - Keycaps wobble a bit, noticeable if youre gaming and need a tight grip on your wasd keys, not noticeable when typing. This is my first mechanical keyboard so take this review with a grain of salt, but overall for a budget and hot swappable keyboard, its pretty decent. Definitely needs some foam as the keys sound a bit hollow, but its not too bad. I got the red switches and theyre okay. Way louder than I had expected and definitely doesnt feel as nice as cherry mx switches.

This 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.

I’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.

I purchased this RK84 keyboard back in 2021 and thought it was a pretty good keyboard out of the box. However, I recently had some connectivity issues with it randomly disconnecting from my PC. I reached out to Royal Kludge for product support with low expectations, since they are not as well known as the major peripheral brands like Logitech and Razer. This is where I admit that I was wrong. Royal Kludge blew me away with their level of support and responded to my inquiry within hours. They walked me through testing the keyboard and updating the firmware before acknowledging that there is a defect and helped me set up a replacement. I received my replacement within days, and I was shocked at how much better this new RK84 felt compared to my original purchased in 2021. Its clear that they made some changes to the product and the current iteration is much improved. The keycaps are thicker, have a nicer rough texture and have a more satisfying bottoming out sound. The spacebar and modifier keys also have no stabilizer rattle at all! I thought I liked my RK84 when I bought it in 2021, but I love how much they improved it. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this board to anyone looking for a very usable 75% out of the box. Huge shout out to Royal Kludge for developing such a great product and having top notch customer support!

I first bought this keyboard for a PC setup I was working on and I liked it so much I bought one for my office workspace as well. I first started having issues with the keyboard connected via 2.4G that it would start not recognizing the key strokes, then it started repeating the letters after having clicked only once. This also happened in games, where Id press W once and it would just keep on going. I tried everything, including buying a USB extender to place the receiver as close to the keyboard as possible but that didnt help. Then I tried pairing the keyboard using Bluetooth and the problem persisted. I went as far as to try to factory reset and reinstall firmware but that wasnt possible as self-solutions are not widely offered for keyboards. Although 2.4G and Bluetooth give me trouble, the USB-C connector works flawlessly, which is what Im using right now to type this review. The keyboard feels super sturdy, well built, and great to type with. Im giving the keyboard 4 stars because the one I have at home doesnt seem to give me as much issues when connected via 2.4G or BT as the one I bought for my office, although I dont use that one as much as I mainly game with a controller.

The keys feel amazing. Probably the best feeling keyboard Ive used(Previous keyboard in recent usage are Corsair Strafe, both Mk1 and Mk2, and Roccat Vulkan 122) Software isnt the best, but it is easier than a lot still(And infinitely better than most indie keyboards as most dont even have software to control keybinds, RGB Lighting, etc) The feet for the keyboard are magnetic, rather than held in with plastic stubs like most keyboards. This is both a pro and con, the con is that they can get knocked off and lost(which is what happened to me), the pro is if they get knocked off because youre being a little rough, they arent broken - just put it back in place. As said, I lost 1 of the feet for the keyboard and contacted customer service and requested to pay for a pair of feet, rather than let me pay for it, they insisted theyd just send them to me at no extra cost. Shipping was also fast, took about 4 days from me opening a ticket to receiving feet - significantly better customer service than Ive experienced with even the monolith keyboard companies like Razer, Corsair, etc Keyboard is very customizable as you can pop the keys off and replace them with other key caps as well as the stem itself, which is very nice and uncommon as most keyboards have the stems soldered on. Only major downside, for me, is the lack of a numpad. If they had a wireless/bt keyboard like this, but was a 100% keyboard, Id definitely be on board for that, unfortunately their 100% keyboards are not wireless/bt, however.

This is my favorite keyboard I’ve ever owned! It is so satisfying to type on (I got brown switches). I got the white one and it looks so sweet, it can be either classy and minimal or full rgb fun! It takes up such little space on my desk yet has all the functionality I need for school, music production, video editing, and gaming. 10/10 would not recommend

If youre familiar at all with custom keyboards, its that you know it can get expensive. I spent a long time looking for a keyboard that would fit my needs without blowing my budget. I can say that this keyboard is 100% worth it. Out of the box, it already sounds decent and most people wouldnt even feel the need to change anything about it. But if you were like me and wanted to customize it, its perfect. I switched the red switches for akko lavenders and changed the keycaps and its like a completely different board and sound! Plus, I was surprised that this keyboard came with foam already inside! What shocked me even more was the stabilizers that came with the keyboard were already sturdy with foam. Both of these inclusions made my modding experience a lot easier. Overall, Id highly recommend this keyboard to those looking for

This a great keyboard for a great price. I keep the rgb backlight at the 3rd dimmest position, which is a good brightness that is quite visible in direct overhead indoor lighting which you can see in the picture. At this setting, the battery lasts incredibly long, like well over a week, to the point where I cant remember the last time I had to plug it in. I replaced the keys with doubleshot pbt pudding keycaps. You can find them on Amazon under YMDK ANSI ISO PBT Doubleshot Shine Through Pudding Keycaps Suitable for MX Mechanical Keyboard Corsair Razer DK SF KBD75 68 Keychron (White Pudding Full Set). I wanted to make sure I mentioned this because its a bit hard finding a set of keycaps that fit this, a few keys like the R Shift key are an unusual size that a lot of typical key sets dont have. They look and feel great. It took a little getting used to, but I love this 80% form factor. I have a laptop sleeve that this can fit into and I take it with me to the office when I can because I much prefer this keyboard to what my office provides. The only problem Ive really experienced is that every so often, Ill push a key like enter and it will keep pushing enter until I push another key like Esc. I dont think this is a problem with the physical key as it does not feel stuck, maybe its a bluetooth issue as I havent experienced it with a wired connection. Maybe I need to clean it more often, idk. Its a little annoying but not a big deal and it happens rarely. I know this would probably be a dealbreaker for gaming but you should use a wired connection if thats what youre doing. The brown switches are great for typing, Im a controller gamer so I cant say if its good for gaming. I also tried the red switches but they were a bit too sensitive for my taste. Overall, fantastic keyboard if youre looking to try out a mechanical keyboard.
