First and foremost the color scheme of white, red and black match my PC's color scheme to the "T". So needless to say I love the color. I usually do a lot of research on items before buying and this one was a tough one, not a lot of reviews outside of Amazon. However, I am so happy that I made the purchase. For the last 2 years I've used Logitech 's MX Keys (100% board). I made the purchase back then based off the reviews, and it made sense since I already owned the MX Master 3 (mouse). No matter how much you research into Logitech MX keys, nothing prepared me for the crap quality of that board. I don't use a desk, my PC is in the bedroom thus (when in use) the keyboard sits on my bed. My bed is really low to the ground, I say about 3 feet up. After dropping it onto my rug a couple times, the entire thing came apart. So much for the metal finish, which is actually some sort of plastic that is made to look like metallic. Keyboard costed $120 before tax. Now back to the Royal Kludge M87. The build quality can be felt the moment you take it out of the box. This thing is heavy! Yes it's a 70-75% board but it has some weight to it. I love it. I'm an 80's baby that grew up with 90's tech. So when I started to type on this thing the sound brought back so many memories. Not only does it sound great, but pressing onto they keys is highly satisfying. I plugged in the 2.4ghz dongle, scrolled through the menu options via the second wheel and clicked. BOOM! instantly connected. Works amazing! Started to play with the lighting options and man, this thing exceeded my expectations. If you like unicorn vomit, this keyboard offers it. However, I personally like 1 unified color and they have plenty of options to choose from. I am in no way shape or form a keyboard enthusiast. Meaning if you want something great that is just going to work out of the box, look no further! Royal Kludge offers mechanical keyboards at a decent price (that isn't priced gouged out the wazoo) reliable and built to last. I never heard of Royal Kludge until recently when I started to research mechanical keyboards to replace my poorly constructed Logitech key board. I am so happy I've made this purchase. Best part of it all, I got it for $69.99 before tax. Logitech can kick rocks, my money will be going to RK if I ever find myself back in the market. I will highly recommend this to anyone and everyone looking for a mechanical keyboard! Read more

Works great so far, Looks great in red love the colors. Backlighting is good and has a lot of patterns. i love the switches they feel good to game on, very responsive. lightweight and fits in my laptop backpack. I didn't even know it was battery powered until i unplugged it and took it with me, it held a charge the entire 2 hour trip so that's good to know i can use it that way if i need it. Very much worth the price. Read more

RK ROYAL KLUDGE M87 Keyboard Overview The packaging was well-thought-out, including useful accessories like keycap removers, additional switches, a USB-C cable, and a USB dongle. The keyboard itself feels high-quality and sturdy, with a nice weight to it. After disassembling it, I confirmed there's no added metal to artificially enhance the weight, which speaks to its authentic build quality. Performance & Features The included cream switches are smooth, linear-activated, and comparable to MX Reds, providing a comfortable typing experience. Since the M87 is hot-swappable, I replaced the stock switches with MX Blues for that satisfying clicky feedback. Battery life is solid—about two weeks on a full charge using the wireless dongle. Connectivity is a strong point, with tri-mode options: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C wired. Switching between these modes is seamless. The RGB backlighting looks vibrant and pairs nicely with the keyboard's color scheme. Final Thoughts Overall, I’d rate the RK M87 4.5 out of 5. It's a high-quality keyboard with great features and versatility. The only area for improvement would be extending the battery life to about a month per charge for even more convenience. Otherwise, it’s an excellent choice for anyone seeking a solid, customizable mechanical keyboard. Read more

I like this keyboard. Its clicky and well made. Knocking away one star, due to battery indicator being faulty. I charge it overnight and it shows 57% as full. Battery lasts long, but inaccurate reading is concerning. Read more

(New info in edit below) Keyboard is great, however, I never used the keyboard wirelessly so I never noticed that the battery never charged or stopped charging in some point of its life. Always shows zero with a charge cable. Can’t get answers or support from Rk directly. Edit: 1/1/2026 - Finally received an answer back from RK support and they informed me they can’t assist. So I took it upon myself to open up the keyboard. Took out my meter and started testing the components on the usb interface board. Everything checked out, almost. The white wire connection showed zero voltage, but the red showed 4.1v. I disconnected the battery from the board and tested the connector to see maybe the jst connector isn’t crimped correctly but still read zero voltage. I removed the battery packs and started to check them to ensure the wires are connected. No, the white wire wasn’t connected at all. So, I reported back to support and they told me again nothing they can do but offer a discount on a new keyboard. However, the discount is the same price as the sale here on amazon. I told them no thank you. This was clearly a factory issue and I will not take another chance on their boards. It’s a lipo battery and if these short they can catch fire. I was going to order two new keyboards - one for myself and one for my son, as we both got new computers. But now I have to look elsewhere. To future buyers, check all features before the warranty expires!!! My fault on not doing this. Read more
