RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK96 RGB Limited Ed 90 96 Keys Wireless Triple Mode BT5 0 2 4G USB-C

First impressions: good quality build, the keyboard really doesn’t feel cheap at all to me. It’s got a good weight to it and looks sleek (matches my “ocean” theme perfectly). The typing is soooo nice, it’s got that milky sound to the keys which is my absolute favorite. It’s super easy to use / set up, and the RBG brightness is good as well. Lots of options and the manual explains how to easily change through the presets. But my first impression of this product is that it’s very well made and so far it seems to be a great keyboard for the price! Very happy with this. Read more

Love this keyboard. Lots of clackity clack if that's what you're looking for. The key punch is pretty solid and it looks great on my desk with the color scheme. - Comes with additional mechnical switches to replace if needed and a keycap puller. - Set up is easy and can switch between using Bluetooth or USB receiver with a switch at the bottom of the keyboard. Also has a switch to turn it on and off. - Last pretty long before needing to recharge. - The wristrest is nice and magnetic enough to hold and not too strong where it makes it a pain to remove. The cost worth what you get. Read more

Note: I'm not a mechanical keyboard enthusiast. My review is based on my own personal experience. For starters, I really like the RK yellow switches that come with this keyboard. It has a nice tactile feel on all buttons and the sound that each keypress produces is satisfying to my ears. I am currently using this plugged in, but I have also tried the 2.4G wireless mode and it was also good. What I am really impressed by with this keyboard though is how compact it is for the 96 key form factor. After daily driving my DROP TKL keyboard for a few years, I was surprised to find that this is almost the same size as that keyboard. The switches are hot-swappable, so you can replace them with most of the 3 pin or 5 pin mechanical switches out there. As for some of the drawbacks, the wrist rest is not great and should either be replaced with a good quality one (like the GMK wooden wrist rest) or just not used entirely. The build quality of this keyboard is not as premium as my DROP keyboard, but that's a given considering the price and it doesn't feel like cheap plastic was used here. Overall, I'm actually quite pleased with this keyboard. I would recommend this as a great starter mechanical keyboard. Read more

I've had this keyboard for about a month now, using it everyday for work + gaming. This is my first "fun" mechanical keyboard that I bought for a few reasons. 1. Already assembled - this is the main Pro of this keyboard. It's ready to go right out of the box, it's even partially charged! The packaging was also very nice and there were extra switches included too. 2. Switches - I got mine with the Yellow Switch, which sounds as I expected it to. I think they may be a bit louder than I would prefer IRL. I wfh so it's not a big deal but this keyboard may be too loud for people in coworking spaces. 3. The color - I love the shades of blue on this keyboard! I really like the feel of the keycaps as well. They are slightly tilted upwards, which makes it easy to find the keys you need while typing without looking. However, I can tell that these keycaps are slightly "cheap" feeling, even though I don't have much else to compare it to with this being my first keyboard. I can just tell by the way they feel. The keyboard itself is STURDY and has a nice weight to it! After a month of use, I'm still very happy with my purchase. As mentioned in the title, the backlight does not shine though the actual keys. So if you are in the dark, and don't have your keyboard totally memorized, that may be annoying. I don't mind too much but it's a small detail I wish that they would have paid attention to. I think it comes down to the fact that these are cheaper keycaps. As a first time keyboard purchase, I don't regret a thing! I feel comfortable now exploring other switches and modifying this keyboard as I gain confidence towards one day building my own from scratch :) 4.5/5 stars - would reccommend if you can get it on sale ;) Read more

I needed a new keyboard to replace my aged Logitech that time and use had worked to remove the letters from more than half of the keys. It was time to say goodbye, and also squeak an upgrade into the mix. I went with this option for two reasons - a coupon and respectable ratings. It's actually one of three keyboards that I bought with a similar feature set. I was looking for a BT keyboard, ideally with rechargeable batteries. I also prefer mechanical keyboards, so this would be an upgrade from a membrane keyboard. Media controls and RGB are not particularly important to me, although this keyboard does have both of those things. Overall, this was the keyboard which I kept. In addition to everything that I wanted, it's a solid, well-made keyboard that has the heft of something that I expect will last me at least a few years. The click is satisfying, and the response is quick. I had a little trouble with duplicated keystrokes at first, but those have gone away - so there might have been a touch of either user error or maybe some glitchiness with the Bluetooth? Either way, it hasn't been a problem for the ~3 months that I've been using this as my daily driver for my work setup. The keyboard is a little smaller than a "standard" keyboard, but this is largely due to minimizing the "dead space" on the frame, so it's very condensed. It's got a full-size ten-key, which was the reason that I returned one of the other two keyboards. (I didn't think that I'd miss it - I was wrong.) It also includes a wrist-rest that I didn't think that I'd use either, but I've found it to be a nice add as well. It attaches magnetically, so easy enough to remove if I need to take the keyboard and go elsewhere. Overall, this is a fine keyboard, and I would be interested in replacing any peripherals with RK products in the future. Read more
