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

RK84 80% With linear red switches. For starters - YES, this keyboard works on Mac! It even says so in the description AND user manual. It has a Mac mode and a Windows mode right on the keys! I can’t speak for the software - I imagine that may only be usable on windows - but it is swappable, and it is compatible with both! I own both and use it on both so I promise you that it is. You can even swap the windows key with the alt key to where the command key normally is on a Mac when you switch the keyboard to Mac mode if you’d like. Much more comfortable! That said - here is my review: While this Mechanical keyboard is considered to fall under the “budget” end of mechanical keyboards for its size - this keyboard is a great value. Hot-swappable switches, swappable keys, works both wired via USB-C, or wireless via any of its 3 different Bluetooth channels or it’s 2.4ghz USB, and even has two pass-through USB (type A) ports on the back for added convenience. It comes pre-built (although u would’ve loved to assemble it), is compatible with Windows AND Mac, and it even has software! All for under $90? That’s hard to beat. I’ll be honest — this is my first mechanical keyboard, so take that for what you will. However, believe you me when I tell you that I did my research (and a lot of it) before purchasing this one. Seriously, it’s been months. This Royal Kludge RK84 met all of my criteria for a starter keyboard and then some. Has all the keys I really need (including a couple for convenience), could connect to two computers (but not at the same time), has red linear switches, is hot swappable, had decent battery life, adjustable RGB backlight, USB-C, and doesn’t break the budget (around $100 since this is my first mechanical keyboard). I also wanted it to show up the next day, so keep in mind that these thoughts also include that I searched primarily on Amazon (which may or may not have limited me here, although I didn’t feel that it did based on the options I found on YouTube and other forums as well). The selection on Amazon is quite decent for boards in this price range. I digress. Being a budget pre-built, and despite watching video after video on this mech (let alone probably 15-20 other keyboards), I was super unsure of what to expect after opening the box. I was nervous that it would feel super chintzy. I almost expected it to. I was worried it would rattle and clunk, it would be lightweight, and that it would feel cheap. More so, I was worried that I would be disappointed. However, that was not the case at all. I am currently blown away at the features and quality of this board (and I’m a picky guy). Considering I could’ve spent double for a keyboard with the same (or even fewer) features that this bird has, confirms to me that this is a great starter levied for me, or for just about anybody who wants to affordably ‘dip their toes’ into the mech world. I can’t speak much for longevity, but I am confident in saying that this is an awesome option among the many in its price range (at least on Amazon). I’ll upload a video of it completely stock later, but there isn’t all that much rattle considering that things are minimally lubed from the factory - if at all. Now, no decent review is complete without an honest list of cons. After using it for a few hours this afternoon I have come upon a few things that are less desirable - but to be expected. - The user manual could be considered somewhat confusing at parts. Not that bad, but it’s mostly just pictures so some things are left to the imagination. For instance, the P button blinks indefinitely until you either pair it with the 2.4ghz USB dongle included, or switch the keyboard into Bluetooth mode and connect it. - There is some rattle in the stabs — but again this is to be expected and isn’t severe enough that it can’t be fixed fairly easily. - The case does sound a bit hollow/cheap — also an easy fix. It doesn’t feel cheap though (as a reminder). - The brightness could be slightly more adjustable, although there is enough adjustability for me to be content. All things considered, this is a great keyboard. I would recommend it to anybody who thinks they might be interested in the enthusiast-side of mechanical keyboards. Easy 5 stars from me.

I researched this keyboard and didnt buy it at first because of the wireless dongle not working properly. I ordered a Keychron K2 that was never delivered and got a refund on that one, but while I was waiting I gave the RK84 a second look and then I read that the new version fixed a bunch of issues. This version also came with Fn media keys which I like, the price is better than the K2, hot swappable, RGB. To be fair, this is my first mechanical keyboard so dont take my word as an expert. So far I been loving it. Update: Ive been using this keyboard for almost 2 years now and still works very well and Im very happy with it. I had an issue with the wired mode though. When the PC was asleep and I would press a key in the keyboard, depending if it was switched to BT or 2.4Ghz wireless mode (although it was also switched off) it would try to connect using the wireless mode. I had to unplug the USB cable and plug it back again to make the keyboard recognize it was in wired mode. My work around was to keep the 2.4Ghz dongle plugged as well as the USB cable (because I use the USB passthrough a lot). This was ok at first but also there was the other issue: the keyboard software did not recognized the keyboard. This got enoying over time. Recently I contacted email support and they were super helpful. I got a firmware update from RK that fixed both issues so Im really happy. Im thinking of doing some mods, taking advantage of the hot swappable switches. It is a very good long term investment

I 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

it took a while for the keyboard to actually get to my house, but it was worth it. this keyboard is really good! it feels very high quality and sounds really nice too ( varies on what switches u get too im sure) 10/10 over all. its great for gaming too!

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.

its a nice keyboard with good sense of clicking. good distribution. it comes with some spare parts and tools to interchange them. its also has a hot swap capability so you can throw other compatible key caps and it will function. Connection is really simple and stable, by cable, wifi or bluetooth. it even comes with a USB-A for connection so good on that. Only downsight is bright, its not really strong, at least with light. in the dark its fine i guess.

So Ive been typing on this board for a few days now and first I would like to say the 2.4Ghz is completely useless. The bluetooth works but there are constant missed key presses and I dont use the keyboard with a wire because why would I... Id get a much cheaper board if I didnt need wireless. I usually type around 80 wpm and with this board the best Ive done is 50 because of the CONSTANT missed key strokes. They simply dont register. Especially the space. I am very disappointed. Even writing this review has been a hassle with the constant missed keys. (Im pressing the but the simply dont register) Ive had at least 10 missed key strokes during writing this review.

This keyboard feels like quality when Im using it. I have 3 machines & 3 big monitors on my desk, so wanted a compact keyboard but I do a lot of typing. The RK84 fits the role. I tried a couple other brands but theirs either forced contortions to get Arrow or Delete or Prtscrn or my fingers were all squeezed together. But the RK84 feels comfortable, solid - plus lights, battery life, connectivity all great.

[ES] Pros: + Costo-calidad razonablemente buena, materiales razonablemente buenos. + La duración de la batería es sencillamente sobresaliente, es sorprendente lo que tarda en descargarse, he llegado a usarlo por 3-4 semanas seguidas sin necesidad de recargarlo (RGB siempre apagados) + El tamaño es perfecto, ni muy grande, ni muy pequeño, y ofrece las teclas F1,F2 sin necesidad de usar la tecla FN. Cons: - A pesar de publicitarse como un teclado inalámbrico, y donde su duración de batería brilla, es simplemente penoso su rendimiento en cuanto a sus modos inalámbricos, pues utilizando el bluetooth, tiene una latencia notablemente alta, que no es buena para jugar. Y usando su dongle 2.4Ghz tiene un rango de señal no más de 2 metros, por lo que si utilizas tu PC debajo del escritorio o un poco lejos sencillamente no podrás utilizarlo, es increíble lo pobre que es su dongle 2.4Ghz. Conclusión: Buen teclado en general, pero que no se recomienda para nada si planeas usarlo de manera inalámbrica, a menos que tengas el PC muy cerca de donde utilizaras el teclado, de lo contrario, no lo recomiendo. Solo lo recomendado si planeas utilizarlo de manera alámbrica, lo cual no tiene sentido, ya que mejor compras uno directamente alámbrico. Y es una lástima, porque su duración de batería es SUBLIME. [EN] Pros: + Reasonably good cost-quality, reasonably good materials. + The battery life is simply outstanding, it is surprising how long it takes to discharge, I have used it for 3-4 weeks in a row without needing to recharge it (RGB always off) + The size is perfect, not too big, not too small, and it offers the F1,F2 keys without the need to use the FN key. Cons: - Despite being advertised as a wireless keyboard, and where its battery life shines, its performance in terms of its wireless modes is simply pathetic, as using bluetooth, it has remarkably high latency, which is not good for gaming. And using its 2.4Ghz dongle it has a signal range of no more than 2 meters, so if you use your PC under the desk or a little far away you just wont be able to use it, its amazing how poor its 2.4Ghz dongle is. Conclusion: Good keyboard overall, but not recommended at all if you plan on using it wirelessly, unless you have the PC very close to where you will be using the keyboard, otherwise I dont recommend it. Only recommended if you plan to use it in a wired way, which does not make sense, since you better buy a wired one directly. And its a shame, because its battery life is AMAZING.

TL:DHTR - Defect: number 8 and 9 keys don’t work Probably my first and last review on Amazon as I don’t really care to write reviews. I am kind of hesitant on buying electronics online. The hassle of contacting sellers/vendors and the shipping of merchandise back and forth that’s already been paid for. I’m always afraid something expensive is going to get lost in transport. Anyway, I saw some reviewers mentioning that they were having issues with one or more of their keys not working. I took a gamble anyway since I’ve been wanting a decent keyboard for awhile to use with my PS5 to chat on the rare occasions that a game supports text chat for the shy people who refuse to use a headset. BTW, yes this is compatible with PS5 through Bluetooth, if you’re looking for one. Long story short, my number 8 and 9 keys don’t work. Other than that, the keyboard looks amazing. I’ve contacted the seller/vendor and hopeful they will contact me and resolve this. So wish me luck, else I’d have to go through Amazon for a replacement, might have been the simpler solution. UPDATE: RK reached out to me, got myself a replacement. Id have to say, Ive never been so impressed with customer service. They quickly responded and sent me a replacement in no time. I would definitely recommend this company/vendor to do business with.
