Greater than one weekJust unboxing this keyboard had a luxurious feel to it. It was completely protected, packaged neatly, and sensibly. The keys have a soft, but quick feel to them and work without skipping a beat (good thing for a keyboard, Id say). It has various options for connectivity - hardwire, BT, or USB; which is great. It also has a switch for Windows vs Mac keys configuration and that is a selling point for me as I am a Mac user, but often switch between systems as a Systems Engineer. As of right now, this is going to be my daily driver. Im finding no fault with it thus far and am pleasantly surprised at both the quality and usability of this keyboard. Its truly beyond any other keyboard Ive used. Edit 10/31/22 - I needed to remove some keys for cleaning and finally used the included tool to pull those keys off. I wanted to come back and add that that tool, is just okay. I was trying to use it to pull the space bar off and it actually scratched my key in a couple of places because it would not grip the edges of the key well, at all. I did finally get it, but that was frustrating; especially since it put scratches on the key. Obviously, keyboard is still usable (and is still my daily driver), but, I did like the no scratch look better.

> 3 dayTheres a lot to love about this little guy. Out of the box it has some of the best sounding stabilizers. It appears they have actually put some lube on the stabs and theyre not perfect but its much better than what you would see from other large Mechanical Keyboard manufacturers. They even added a dampener under the space bar to keep the board quiet. Battery life also seems decent. I was able to use it with the lights on full brightness for about 8-9 hours. The switches are standard gateron yellows that Im already very familiar with and do like, decently smooth and quiet out of the box.

Greater than one weekSo, out of the box I was in love. This keyboard looks awesome, it has a wonderful weight to it (wonderful if you never take it anywhere, anyways) and I love the color and the layout. I wish the keys were double shot and transparent as RGB is a bit of a waste without them... If you are not used to a full sized board definitely make sure you have a wrist rest or you will get fatigued super quick, as its pretty high profile. the main thing I dont like about this keyboard are the switches... I just dont prefer yellows. I find them a bit sluggish on the return especially. I dont have other yellows to compare to to say if its THESE yellows or ALL yellows but they are definitely not my preference I honestly really like it other than that though and will probably just customize it from here, not scrap it entirely.

> 3 dayI want to start by saying that this is my first mechanical keyboard so if you see a review by someone else with more experience you should probably listen to them over me. However, I am really impressed with this keyboard for what it is. I also want to state that I was not able to test a couple features of this product. Those features are the ability to connect to a mac and the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. Please look to other peoples reviews for those details if they are important to you. Lets start with the build quality. The keyboard was packaged very nicely and included a nice branded usb cable to use for the wired connection mode. The keyboard has a nice weight to it and I definitely perceive it as a quality product just from holding and touching it. My keyboard is the lava brown color and it definitely looks better in person that I thought it did online. Next, lets go to through the connection modes on the keyboard. The bluetooth seemlessly connected to my windows computer and it performs as you would expect a bluetooth keyboard to perform. I tried connecting to the same computer again but in the 2.4G mode with the dongle. This again worked flawlessly. The third and final way to connect is a wired connection. Again, I tried this on the same computer and it worked as you would expect. The RGB lights on the keyboard are really nice. I definitely wouldnt leave them on constantly because they would just distract me and they cause the battery to drain much faster in its wireless modes, but they are pretty awesome. Also there are a TON of different patterns and colors to choose from. I could definitely see using the solid color option at night time as a way to see the keyboard better, but most of the other ones are a bit too flashy for me to be using while trying to type anything. Lastly, I want to go over the negatives I have noticed, which there are not many of, but they are worth pointing out. The first negative is that the backspace button (at least on the 67 key version) is just way too small. I get that they had to put the mode switch somewhere, but having the backspace key be the same size as a normal key makes it difficult to find without looking at the keyboard. The other problem I had is that (and maybe this is only a problem on the lava brown version) there are two function keys in order to get proper fucntionality out of a smaller keyboard. This is not the issue, the issues is that one function key activates the blue function listed on the sides of the keys and the other activates the orange functions and the orange icons are VERY hard to read on the brown keys. If I were in a room that wasnt well lit and tried to see the icons on the keys I wouldnt be able to make out what they were. All in all though, these issues are pretty minor and I feel that the keyboard has a fair price compared to the competition so I am very happy with this product.

> 3 dayI bought different mechanical keyboards in the past. I have a Das, Drevo, 2 MelGeeks, all cherry browns, but I was unsatisfied. I was looking for something like this. So i do like yellow switches and this is my first one. its thocky but not too much, it looks awesome, it has all the keys i need, and its programmable. im not a gamer, i use this for teleworking and its perfect! cant wait to buy some cute novelty keycaps! lol

> 3 dayThe Royalaxe r100 keyboard sounds and feels like a high quality keyboard if you are a fan of linear switch keyboards you will like this one the gateron yellow switches in this keyboard seem to be lubed well and have good stabilization on the board all around a really solid keyboard. There are lots of different light patterns that make this keyboard not only functional but fun as well.

> 3 dayThis is a sturdy keyboard thats really cool. You can sync it to your phone, Bluetooth devices, and use it as a wired or wireless keyboard. Its rechargeable and you can program the lights to do whatever you wish. The keys are more mechanical than others so you get that nice satisfying click when using it.

> 3 dayEverything down to the packaging it arrived in was exceptional! The only real gripe i have is with the colour scheme- seeing as it isnt exactly flattering to look at. But other than that, Id give it 5 stars.
