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

For the price its a cool starter mechanical keyboard. Build quality is very nice and it has some weight to it. LEDs are bright and has lots of cool patterns to choose from. the clickety-klack is super satisfying when typing since i came from a cheap a** logitech wireless mouse and keyboard combo. My only issue is the the keyboard sometimes doesnt register keystrokes and it can be annoying. the keyboard itself will go to sleep after a few minutes when not typing and for me the unregistered keystrokes usually happens excessively within the first 30 seconds or so after waking it up. Bluetooth option is cool but it will DEFINITELY miss keys when typing. For reference my PC is exactly 33in from my keyboard and the bad connection is just too annoying to deal with when trying to complete tasks so i keep it plugged in. If your just browsing or surfing Youtube its livable. But because i still really like the keyboard ill say to its defense that this IS my first mechanical keyboard and i may just not be used to the new key actuation points. *edit* NOPE im slamming the right arrow key right now trying to dit thhsrevii (edit this review) and its absolutely not registering lol

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).

Like others who have reviewed this keyboard - I scoured the internet reading reviews and researching multiple makes/models. However, I am a newbie in this space and had to start at the very beginning to understand the various configuration options there are with mechanical boards (i.e. key layout and #, key caps, switch types, etc.) and which ones I think would work best for me. So I can only rate this with experience level-1, and as someone who primarily uses it for typing vs gaming. A few things I like about this board: - Hot-swappable key caps and switches; allows me to change things up to find the option that best suits my preference/needs; although I will say the brown switches and stock key caps arent that bad, so while I eventually want to make changes, I dont have to do so quickly. - While the software would be great for setting key/lighting preferences - primarily for gaming - the plug-n-play experience is easy and does what I need. - The wireless capability was a must have on my list, but I learned it can be rare for nicer mechanical boards. This one works great and even has extra USB ports which come in handy. - Keyboard layout: I thought this was going to be the hardest/worst part of getting this keyboard. The tight layout seemed like I would be hitting a lot of wrong keys. Surprisingly, it hasnt been that hard of a transition to get the feel of this one. Not so great things: - Some of the keys do have a little wobble, but I know there are some DIY ways to dampen that. - The software must be downloaded and used to configure on a Windows machine. Normally not a problem, except I switched to a Mac as my personal computer a few months ago.

I have had the keen for about a week and it is amazing to type on, like, night and day from the keyboard integrated into my laptop. The switches are a bit light and while this is understandable if im not mistaken they are 40g and switches like mx reds are 45. It makes it quick for gaming but i have mostly been using it for typing and will have to switch out the switches in the coming months, but it is great for what you get. The keycaps have a nice feel to them, even for ABS, although the doubleshot part is only at the top and this makes them sound just as clacky as regular abs keycaps due to thinness. Mine actually came with pre-lubed stabilizers, with a good tubing job, however they might need to be clipped and band-aid modded for better sound. The spacebar is really loud, again, due to thinness and unloved switches. There was also foam between the plate and the PCB, as well as some foam under the pcb, however there is more open space near the back as it is thicker there so there is air between the foam, pcb, and the battery/daughterboard and so they keys tend so sound clackier as you move towards the function row, not helped by the taller keycaps. It would be wise to put more in the back should you purchase it. Overall, it gives a great typing experience and sounds really, really good if you like clacky keyboards. Definitely would recommend.

Purchased this keyboard about 3 months ago. Keyboard worked perfectly until connection issues started. Customer support was quick to assist and provided suggestions to solve issues. Ultimately, the company sent me a replacement keyboard as it was under warranty. Overall, quick and effective customer support.

Contrary to other Royal Kludge keyboards, this one is actually pretty nice. Hot swap, little amounts of ping, and satisfying to type on. These are a very light red switch and I found myself accidentally hitting the keys, especially the spacebar, when typing or gaming. Just not my kind of keyboard, but if you know you like a light linear then this is a great budget option.

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.

I don’t use my keyboards for gaming, but I type ALOT and this has been so satisfying to use. I swapped my keys and switches almost immediately, for aesthetics, but the starting product was great quality. The RGB variety is my favorite. Personally, this keyboard is great for any beginners interested in swaps and mods.

Exactly what I was looking for

If youre just getting into mechanical keyboards that you want to customize this is a great option. There are so many mods out there, you can easily make it sound to your personal preference.
