RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK84 Blue Backlit 75 Triple Mode BT5 0 2 4G USB-C Hot Swappable Mechanical Keyboard

I bought this for use with my Steam Deck, I have a big carrying case (search Amazon for USA Gear Carrying Case Compatible with OLED Steam Deck, Steam Deck Charger, and More Steam Deck Accessories) that has space for a keyboard roughly this size (turns out, exactly this size). They keyboard works amazingly. I was concerned there'd be a bad key delay via Bluetooth, and was willing to use the 2.4ghz dongle instead, but all the way across a 20' living room, it's still instant on Bluetooth. The keyboard is far more "substantial" than it looks in the pictures. It's nice and heavy. Doesn't feel like some cheap Logitech wireless keyboard. Very very happy with this purchase, perfect for traveling and gaming :) Read more

I saw tons of great reviews for this keyboard and would tell anyone and everyone who is used to typing on a 75% layout that you really can't go wrong with this one. It's really well-aligned, it's high quality, the two standard USB-A ports bundled in with great battery life and super bright lighting is excellent. However there are few things to consider. For the past 6 years I've been primarily typing on a Lenovo T450 laptop keyboard. These are low-profile I found my hands aching on the RK84 after a few days of use. The CTRL key on the RK84 is also the same size as all of the other keys on the board, which was a huge pain for the way that I type. I ultimately went with a TKL Logitech G915 with brown switches and am actually typing on that right now. I would say that if you're thinking about getting this and have typed on other mechanical keyboards of standard profile you cannot go wrong with this. Still give it five stars because it's very, very good, just not for me. If you have large hands, maybe get the bigger version of this or if you're used to typing on laptops then it might be better for you to check out low profile keyboards. Sure you can't customize them as much out of the box but it might be a good way to transition towards standard sized mechanical keyboards. Also, it could just be that the way I type is too "stupid" for these boards, but I'm loving my new one, shame that this didn't work out for me but a great product nonetheless. (I got it with blue switches, yes, they are very, very loud, but very satisfying to press.) Read more

Great keyboard, but pretty weak signal for longer distances. Signal goes around 10 feet without obstructions, so if you're intending to control a PC from further away, be aware of those limitations. Read more

It’s hard to find full featured mechanical keyboard at this price. It supports wireless or wired modes, and the blue switches type just like other more expensive blue switch keyboards. The build is solid. The only dislike is the backlit leds. They’re quite useless and distracting. You can turn them off, but the print on the keys becomes difficult to read Read more

The keyboard is solidly built and has a nice feel, and both the bluetooth and WiFi dongle work well. Though like usual with keyboard WiFi connections, I had to put the dongle on the end of a long cord, so it isn't connected directly to the Intel Nuc mini PC I have (too much interference when directly connected, or too far from the keyboard). I like the smaller keyboard, though it is not my favorite, as I cannot seem to get used to the right side column having Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn in that order - I often press the wrong key. But that is not a mark against the keyboard, just my preference as it turns out. Read more

My Arch Linux setup always had trouble with Bluetooth, so this is working well so far with the 2.4 Ghz. Keyboard is working great so far (just got it yesterday). I bought a set of pudding keycaps to replace the stock ones (just for looks). The keyboard is XDA profile but the keycaps are OEM. I found that needle-nose pliers work much better than either of my keycaps pullers. (one made for OEM but the other came with, made for XDA I assume). The Alt, Fn, and Ctrl keys are non-standard (narrower) so I left the originals. I also left the originals for F5-F12, as I may make use of the multimedia and those keys have the icons for multimedia transport controls. I also left the arrow keys because they have icons for LED brightness and speed (although afaik, there is only one speed? I am just very glad to have a steady blue backlight instead of all those moving full-color ones). I run Linux so I was glad to replace the F1-F4 to get rid of the stupid Windows icons. I already had a custom Arch Linux key to replace the Windows key. Read more

Most of the time it works, but when sometimes when I type fast or anything at all in wireless mode, the inputs get messed up and I'll have spelling errors or missed keys. Read more

This is my first foray into mechanical keyboards, but so far I love it. The keyboard is heavier than expected, it feels great and sounds great. I was concerned about the size because I have big hands, but the condensed key layout doesn't cause me any trouble at all and I love having a keyboard with a smaller foot print. Read more
