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

This thing arrived and I was pleasantly surprised with all that was included with this keyboard! It came with a usb c cable, 4 extra switches(the same that were installed in the board), a really good key cap puller and switch puller, and some magnetic feet to adjust the height. I played a few rounds of MW2 with this keyboard out of the box using the 2.4ghz Dongle. I was surprised with the responsiveness. Then I see that there is also blue tooth. I tried that out on my iPad and it was almost as good as the RF connection. I was very surprised. The next thing that was a big plus for me was that there is full mac support for this keyboard. That isnt common with gaming boards that are in this price range. The other pleasant surprise is the usb passthrough on the board. there are not a lot of wired boards with that functionality. The only con I ran into was that there was no way to see the battery level on board, and when you are connected to rf you wont be able to see the battery percentage. There is a good trade off though as the keyboard will allow you to see that battery level when you are connected with blue tooth There really is no way that I would be able to give this board any lower than 5 stars!

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.

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.

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 did a ton of research before deciding on this keyboard and the one thing that no one ever mentioned was that it has a fair bit of sound proofing in it already. I purchased a sound proofing kit along with this keyboard and hardly used it. I did add some more padding into the cavity of the case but I ended up taking some of it out due to there being minimal space, thus minimal sound echoing. It’s a heavier keyboard than I expected and it’s build quality is amazing for the price. If you’re looking to take a step into keyboards and customization then this is definitely a keyboard to consider.

The keyboard looks great and during the daytime is usably great. But at night the visibility of the keys is illegible. Even using the [ugly] software to adjust things does not help. I have 2 different key caps on the board and neither are easy to see at night. I’d like to also mention that I typically use a white light, but it comes off pinkish and not true white. The battery is really, really bad. It will hold a charge for only a few hours of use to the point where I leave it plugged in until I have to charge my headset or something else. Again, adjusting settings helps a little but not much. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice backlight to have a charged keyboard for more than 3 hours. I’ve experienced dropped inputs semi regularly as well. As a previously competitive gamer, I know my actuation distance and if I’ve pressed a key. There have been many games over the months that a key press has not gone through and caused me to suffer. On a positive note, when this keyboard is working it feels great! The two height settings are comfortable and the keys feel great to press. It really fit the bill for aesthetically what I was looking for (besides the RGB color sharpness). They would definitely need to refine the design a bit before I’d buy another board from them though.

I wanted a keyboard for my laptop because the palm area would get hot. Lots of great features and battery life for the money. I would like to get better feeling keycaps for this at some point these white one are just too plain for me lol.

Se ve de buena calidad. Tiene el sonido característico de un keyboard mecánico. Tiene excelentes prestaciones.

Buena calidad, confiable y cómodo. NAAH DE LOCOS :)

I have both the white and black versions, so this review applies to both. It works as expected and almost as wanted. The customization capabilities of the lights are weak, and the key re-mapping is limited. I havent used the macros. Its rather bulky and heavy, but thats not surprising with a battery two to three times the capacity of other wireless keyboards I looked at; for my intended use of the keyboard thats more than a fair trade. Charging the battery must be done using a USB A to USB C cable, or with a USB C cable with a USB A adapter, otherwise it wont charge. There is no battery level indicator, the space bar flashes when you plug in the USB cable, thrice if it is charging, five times when it’s done. The white came with a combination keycap and switch puller, the black came with a standard keycap puller. Both keyboards ship with bad firmware at the time of this review; the included image shows the symptom, when attempting to use your customized lights mode, of the bad firmware. Firmware updates are built into the customization software. The white was made functional by the software linked in the product description at the time of this review; it did not work with the black. I ended up doing a little research and found a more recent version of the software on the manufacturers website (en. rkgaming. com) which worked. Note that the customization and firmware flashing must be done over USB. I have not experienced the issues with Bluetooth and 2.4GHz that have been reported in other reviews. So far, I like the keyboard for its intended purpose, writing documents on my Android tablet when I must be away from my Windows PC (I do not use the keyboard with my Windows PC as I need the keypad, not because of any issue with the RK84).
