ROYALAXE X ProtoArc 60% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-swappable Wired/Bluetooth 5.0/2.4G Wireless Keyboard with RGB Backlit for Windows & Mac, PBT Keycaps, Gateron G Yellow Pro Switch, Lava Brown

I’m not sure how all these gamers are paying 2-4x the price for lower quality gear…I guess just for the brand name? Either way, this keyboard absolutely slaps. Key movement is perfectly dialed in for gamers.

2 things caught my eye, Bluetooth & Color! I thought immediately this could be my keyboard for my iPad and I have been searching for the right one for a bit! It pause right up and is a dream to use. Second I saw me some Noctua colors and the scheme was awesome so I jumped and I am glad I did!

This keyboard ticks a lot of boxes in terms of marketing phrases that people look for in mechanicals. Unfortunately, some key design elements make it less desirable for keyboard enthusiasts. But for a certain subset of users, this is going to be a nice entry point into mechanical keyboards. PROS: ++ Great mix of features including triple connection modes, multiple Bluetooth profiles, and hot swappable 5-pin sockets including anti-ghosting and NKRO ++ The Gateron Pro stock switches are actually pretty good for out of the box smoothness and sound. Do not misinterpret that to mean they are the same level of quality of hand lubed switches, but the factory lube is not terrible ++ The included keycaps are super high quality for stock keycaps. They are not shine through but they are a very nice quality set of what appear to be double shot PBT keycaps with bold color profiles ++ The per-key RGB is really well done. These will work great with shine through or clear keycaps if thats what you want to use. You can easily cycle through different RGB profiles and backlight settings using built-in function hotkeys ++ The control dial in the upper right corner is super convenient - it makes it extremely easy to switch between wired, wireless or Bluetooth modes, and also to change between Windows and Mac profiles ++ The USB receiver has its own stow-away location beneath the control bar and is held in place magnetically, a nice touch. ++ The included plastic cover is a nice touch, and will help to keep your keyboard dust free. (while thin, its better than not having one) ++ The included keycaps include some side printed extras, including multimedia functions as well as the Mac functions for those who want to use it in Mac mode ++ Four additional switches were included, a nice extra for those who are unlucky enough to break switches when they remove them for lubing, etc. ++ Basic switch and keycap pullers are included, which is nice for those who dont already have them on hand ++ This could be considered a positive or a negative depending on your preferences, but this keyboard appears to be made with a muted sound profile in mind. The stock sound is very soft and muted. ++ Its rare to see a full layout with custom keycaps like this, as 1800 and smaller layouts have basically taken over. There is an audience for full traditional layouts like this ++ The included numpad is a really nice bonus; for a slightly smaller layout they make the 98 key R100 with similar features CONS: -- I hate the low profile / short throw / short stem feel to the keycaps, especially on the space bar; people used to chiclet style keyboards may love that but if this was my main board I would have to immediately compensate by switching to long pole switches and high profile keycaps, despite the attractive look of these -- I hate the fact that there are no included feet on the front or back. The back battery bar for lack of a better term is really high and kind of limits the angles that you can have the keyboard at by default. For people who prefer a flatter orientation to this extreme angle, this will make typing feel uncomfortable. -- No extra keycaps were included with the Mac functions on the top instead of the side -- The 4 rubber pads near the corners feel inadequate for such a wide board. It would have been nice to have 2 additional pads on the bottom in the middle to provide extra support -- The case is unfortunately not great quality, with several mold lines visible at random throughout, meaning it appears like this was not molded as one complete unit but was rather made by joining several molded sections of plastic -- The bottom does not show any visible screws, meaning disassembling this board will most likely require removing those rubber pads, a design choice I really hate -- People who are kind of looking for loud clacky keyboards wont like that its not super easy to get into the case and change or add different materials to change the sound profile -- its probably not surprising in this category, but the stabilizers were a little inconsistent out of the box, with the space bar especially rattily on mine and noticeable sound differences between shift keys -- While you can do some customization with the ProtoArc software, there is no full compatibility with common tools like QMK / VIA CONCLUSION If you are one of those people who thinks that the keyboard on your Macbook Pro is awesome, you are looking for a full sized mechanical board and you have no intention of lubing switches, this is going to feel like heaven to you. For my preferences I was kind of surprised by how difficult it was to adjust and customize basic things like angle of the board right out of the box. There is definitely a market for a full layout board like this with features like this keycap set. I am just afraid that once I have taken this board apart to get it to feel and sound the way that I want it to, the case may be irreparably marred from the experience. For my money, I think basically any Keychron board kind of gives you most of the benefits of this, with the added bonus of QMK / VIA compatibility. But this board does have a unique look. And if you were never planning to take it apart, the limitations of this case wont touch you. By the time you care enough about that you will be ready to buy another keyboard.

It was heavier than what Im used to, and it felt comfortable to the touch. A definite upgrade compared to what I used to have. Id say that Ill probably buy this again if I were to choose.

This keyboard was snapped up because it reminiscent of the old Commodore keyboard. And it feels like the old Mac keyboards from back in the day. It has a light pressure touch but with significant pressure behind it. I am working with my iMac - so Im used to a compact keyboard without the numbers on the right. I had issues with connectivity via bluetooth with my Mac. I had to connect via the 2.4ghz and key and take up a USB spot in my hub, which was frustrating. I will try again after doing a bit of research. I do like the design and I like typing on it, only dropping it a star because of the bluetooth.

Ive used many keyboards and I have to say this is one of my favorites! A keyboard with Bluetooth, 2.4 ghz connection, USB adapter and a wired connection. Ive tested the keyboard over a wired connection, Bluetooth, 2.4 ghz connection and with the adapter that came with the device. One issue I notice with many keyboards are issues with the Bluetooth connection. Normally I would notice slight disconnections with other Bluetooth keyboards Ive used in the past, but while playing games like World of Warcraft and others, I didnt notice any disconnections or delays at all. I also want to mention the build quality of this keyboard. It is sturdy. The RGB look good with many RGB options to choose from. Finding the website to download the RoyalAxe driver was the only issue Ive had with the keyboard. I tried multiple color combinations, my favorites are Light Shadow and Flowers Blooming. The keyboard comes with tools to remove the key caps and also comes with three replacement switches that can be swapped out if needed. I will continue to use this product for years to come because of the ease of use and functionality.

TD;LR This is a great value and will be purchasing additional ones for my daughters gaming setup and my office. When I ordered this keyboard all of the reviews besides one were vine reviews so I was skeptical about ordering it. The vine reviews were definitely correct, this keyboard is a phenomenal keyboard for the cost. It also does allow you to change the backlighting directly on the keyboard without added software, I had looked for this information but it didnt state it anywhere that I could see. Pros: It has 10 Key ( I ordered the Lava Brown108 version) and a standard layout which I needed for work The keycaps on it are a really nice texture and thickness The switches are really smooth and not super loud, which is my preference The keyboard itself is pretty heavy so it doesnt move while typing or gaming and it just makes me feel like its more of a quality build The colors of it match my WFH/Gaming setup perfectly and is very aesthetically pleasing The RGB lighting is great and with the software there are a ton of customizations and even changing them on the keyboard itself is easy and there are a ton of options Cons: I cant think of any Overall this is a great value and I am considering buying another one for when I have to work in office and my daughter requested one for her setup for Christmas. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a decently priced keyboard that is great straight out of the box.

This is by far my top rated keyboard to date Feels amazing to type on, love the dials functionality My favorite feature by far is that acrylic cover they ship with it for protection in shipping-- when its not in use, I cover it with that. Keeps debris off when not in use and just adds another layer of protection to the system from pets/dust/spills. Things need to be standard with all keyboards imo Bottom left is a Purple Squishy for anyone wondering

We will not use all the features of this keyboard. We will keep the keyboard hardwired and never switch out keycaps. The keyboard is light weight and really well made in terms of material. It feels premium even though it isnt heavy like most customs. The PBT caps are all well finished and super nice feeling in terms of texture. Key presses were on the clacky side, mores o than I would have expected for the weight. Switches are decent. They do not have a ton of feedback, but are smooth, have good travel, and little play. This is a really easy recommend. You can always change the sound profile by modding the keyboard. It has decent access when opened. I like it as is.

I bought this keyboard a few months ago and boy am I happy. I was thinking of buying another famous brand that makes prelubed keyboards. Im glad I didnt. Not only do you have the choice between a 2.4GhZ dongle you can also choose for bluetooth or wired. The lighting effects are great and you get a lot of choices. I was scared the keyboard wasnt going to feel as quality without an aluminium plate but was I wrong. The keycaps feel great and quality. The amount of lube on the switches is perfect giving a premium costum made keyboard feel. The switch between bluetooth 2.4 or wired is seemless and it is easy to connect to other devices. You dont need any additional blootwear for the keyboard everything from lighting and keybinds is handled on board. The keyboard has a lot of nice to have function keys and they are easy to understand. Overal I was sceptical to buy it at first but Im happy I stuck with my choice and kept the board. I am super happy I own this and if you are searching for a cheap prelubed quality keyboard. This is definitly it
