RK ROYAL KLUDGE S108 Typewriter Style Retro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Wired with True RGB Backlit Collapsible Wrist Rest 108-Key Blue Switch Round Keycap - Black

Bought this as a gift for my gamer son. He absolutely loves it!!

First of all, this keyboard is beautiful and exactly what I expected. Its smooth, has an amazing clickity clack when I type, and the typewriter look is my absolute favorite. However, when it arrived, the box arrived damaged and had a label slapped on it. It was very worn and the wrist guard came partly unattached. What a pain that was to reattach... Luckily, my husband is crafty and managed to get it on and its hardly noticeable but what a pain it was either way. Wouldve been a 5 star rating if it came packaged a bit better. Maybe next time put it inside another box instead of in the packaging box and through the USPS cause UPS doesnt give a rats behind about customers packages.

This is really an excellent keyboard. The blue switches are even louder than expected compared to other blue switch keyboards Ive had in the past so keep this in mind. However, it is an extremely well made keyboard and the typing experience is just amazing from a box-to-desk, no modifications perspective. Pros: Biggest pro - all lighting can be controlled from the keyboard itself. No basic controls, then software required for the rest of it. And, it has a LOT of lighting options. Nicely done. All I wanted was a soft, blue-backlit keyboard with round keycaps. I got it. Ergonomics are better than average Build quality is top notch for off the shelf in this price range. Stable, weighty, not hollow sounding. Flip out wrist rest is well executed. Cons: Louder than normal blue switches. This may even kill it for me in the long run I dont know - BUT this is a preference thing, nothing to do with how amazing it performs. Functionally, it is a joy to type on. So... 5 stars, I would recommend to anyone in this price point. Caveat, I would warn of volume on Blues and recommend going for Reds which Im going to try if they offer a black version anytime soon.

Wow. I plugged this keyboard in and suddenly I could type like the wind again. Computer keyboards make me crazy, and especially cell phone keyboards I still dont know how to type with 2 thumbs on one. This keyboard is the kind I spend endless hours practicing on, and making typewriter art - anyone remember that? Loving this keyboard, but have to say it arrived all by itself in bubble wrap without a users guide or box of its own. Weird but it works great and I can google the users guide.

UPDATED REVIEW: I was promptly contacted by the mfg and a new keyboard was sent. All is working fine now! I agree with one commenter that if you have this placed on a very nice table you my want to put some cushion tape (duct tape?) over the hinges. The rubber feet do a good job from having it slide around though. Also if you arent adept at touch typing you will find it easier to see the keys if you set the lighting to a brighter color like yellow and not have a bright desk light shining on the keyboard. These keys will be easier to keep clean too since they sit up and arent flush with a base, something to consider if you have furry pets like I do :) previous review--- I like the feel and color changing options of this keyboard, BUT the USB connection is flaky. I have missed the return window by a week when I determined during full-time use that it doesnt kick back on when I restart my computer. I would have to unplug then replug several times. Ive checked my USB connections with other peripherals - all were fine. There are no downloadable drivers noted for this keyboard - just plug and play. It will kick on from Sleep Mode so Im resigned to not turning off my computer - fine, until we lose power at some point. Is this a one-off blip with this one keyboard? I dont know, but wish for a response from the mfg.

I feel I should start this review out by saying I love this keyboard. Im a streamer/gamer for a living and when I saw it not only did I think I HAD to have it but my inner gamer thought Resident Evil!!! (If you know you know.) I should also mention Im more of a console player so I dont typically use the keyboard for my gaming but I wanted to put this keyboard specifically to the test. Upon playing a few very intense games on Call Of Duty I realized this probably wouldnt be the best keyboard for Aggressive/Hardcore gamers. I kept noticing in high-intensity moments my fingers would occasionally slip kind of under the keys. They (The keys) have metal edging to them where your fingers kind of slip and hit the edge of the key if that makes sense? I would say this keyboard is best for normal people who arent aggressively smashing their keys to try and stay alive. I love this best for just writing purposes and everyday use. I wouldnt recommend it for my PC gaming friends but for those who just love beautifully aesthetic keyboards such as myself. The keyboard has a beautiful type-writer-esque clicking sound which I love. I personally like the loud clicking but I have had people mention that it can be very loud in their ears when my mic is a little too close. The RGB lighting is beautiful which you can change into different lighting modes. The brightness is also adjustable but I like mine to blind me and to look like the Northern Lights on my ceiling in the dark lol!

Its a fantastic keyboard. I read the reviews pretty thoroughly and in the first two days everything is fantastic. I gave a good wiggle and click to each individual key to make sure each one is secured perfectly and functioned how they should. A few complains is that if left alone for several hours the keyboard shuts off and wont come back on unless re-seated. I tested this with my gaming desktop, started it up and walked away for several hours, my set has no sleep mode set. When I came back the keyboard was still on and full of color. On day one I played several different types of games with the keyboard for around 6-7 hours and it never became uncomfortable. Depending on the time of day I do change out the lighting to help me see the keys, but its so easy to change around its not even an inconvenience to do. I have a rather painful light sensitivity and the customizations made it very nice and very comfortable. After several different variations of use the only real negative comment I have is that the font is very annoying. It makes some letters look worn off and the @ sign looks like a u sign, the 0 looks like () and I just dont like it, but its my only complaint and its not even enough to drop a star from my review. The last major note in most reviews is that the silver rings on the keys being to fall off, but that doesnt seem to happen until between 1-6 months, so I may need to do an update at that point.

*** Had it a week and its now not working ... How frustrating!!!**** Nice and sturdy. Heavy so its not going to slide all over the desk while I work. The only confusing thing is that the volume up/ down are backwards on the keyboard. A small thing but gets annoying when youre brain is used to reading left to right. Other than that, the tactile feedback and old style tac of the keys is gorgeous!!

The lighting on this keyboard is beautiful and there are sooooo many options as well as an option to customize the light pattern you want displayed. Lastly, the typewriter feel to the keys is extremely satisfying

Ive always been into mechanical keyboards. For me, you cant beat the feeling and the sound that comes with typing on a mechanical keyboard. It just isnt the same when I use a normal one. Before getting this keyboard, I had used multiple Corsair RGB keyboards in the past. I had no issues with them, but when I saw this one on Amazon I fell in love with the typewriter aesthetic and purchased it right away. It operates exactly as a mechanical keyboard should. The keys have a slight resistance and the clicks are very satisfying. The typewriter aesthetic is so pretty in person and its so easy to keep clean! The RGB feature is flashy but not distracting, and comes in a variety of modes that are all very eye catching. The biggest thing I want to mention is the QUALITY. When buying something online you never know how itll arrive, especially as this is the first time Ive heard of this brand. The keyboard came exactly as imagined and it all seems to be high quality. Ive had zero issues with it! No keys rubbing off, no connection issues, nothing! Ive been really impressed with this keyboard. (Ive had it for almost 4 months now) So nothing but compliments for this keyboard and the company. I play videogames a lot, Ive shared this product with my friends and a couple have actually bought it as well. Sometimes friends will even ask me to leave my microphone on when we voice call together because they find the sound to be super relaxing and makes them tired. 5/5
