RK ROYAL KLUDGERK84 Wireless RGB 75% Triple Mode BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C Hot Swappable Mechanical Keyboard, 84 Keys BT5.0 Gaming Keyboard w/High-Capacity Battery, Quiet Red Switch

I usually like to take between 3-5 years before writing a review on electronic products. First of all, the fact that this keyboard is still functional after 4 years talks volumes about the quality of the product. It is true that every 1 or 2 weeks I do a deep cleaning, but 4 years is a long time, especially for a keyboard of this price.The keys are nice, they have a great sound, and they are stable. The overall structure of the keyboard is also nice, and the inclination it provides is sufficient. Lastly, the battery life is extremely good. I use it for about 8-12 hours a day, and I think the battery goes for 1 or 1 1/2 weeks with 4 YEARS OF USE.One somewhat negative thing about the keyboard is the connection if you're using the USB. I literally have my PC case next to me, and I had to plug in the USB in the front panel, because the back panel was causing some lag.I won't mention anything about the RBG because I don't even use it, not important to me.In conclusion, this is a great product and if you take care of it, it will last you for years.

RK84 80% With linear red switches.For starters - YES, this keyboard works on Mac! It even says so in the description AND user manual. It has a Mac mode and a Windows mode right on the keys! I can’t speak for the software - I imagine that may only be usable on windows - but it is swappable, and it is compatible with both! I own both and use it on both so I promise you that it is. You can even swap the windows key with the alt key to where the command key normally is on a Mac when you switch the keyboard to Mac mode if you’d like. Much more comfortable!That said - here is my review:While this Mechanical keyboard is considered to fall under the “budget” end of mechanical keyboards for its size - this keyboard is a great value.Hot-swappable switches, swappable keys, works both wired via USB-C, or wireless via any of its 3 different Bluetooth channels or it’s 2.4ghz USB, and even has two pass-through USB (type A) ports on the back for added convenience. It comes pre-built (although u would’ve loved to assemble it), is compatible with Windows AND Mac, and it even has software! All for under $90? That’s hard to beat.I’ll be honest — this is my first mechanical keyboard, so take that for what you will. However, believe you me when I tell you that I did my research (and a lot of it) before purchasing this one. Seriously, it’s been months.This Royal Kludge RK84 met all of my criteria for a starter keyboard and then some. Has all the keys I really need (including a couple for convenience), could connect to two computers (but not at the same time), has red linear switches, is hot swappable, had decent battery life, adjustable RGB backlight, USB-C, and doesn’t break the budget (around $100 since this is my first mechanical keyboard). I also wanted it to show up the next day, so keep in mind that these thoughts also include that I searched primarily on Amazon (which may or may not have limited me here, although I didn’t feel that it did based on the options I found on YouTube and other forums as well). The selection on Amazon is quite decent for boards in this price range.I digress.Being a budget pre-built, and despite watching video after video on this mech (let alone probably 15-20 other keyboards), I was super unsure of what to expect after opening the box. I was nervous that it would feel super chintzy. I almost expected it to. I was worried it would rattle and clunk, it would be lightweight, and that it would feel cheap. More so, I was worried that I would be disappointed. However, that was not the case at all.I am currently blown away at the features and quality of this board (and I’m a picky guy). Considering I could’ve spent double for a keyboard with the same (or even fewer) features that this bird has, confirms to me that this is a great starter levied for me, or for just about anybody who wants to affordably ‘dip their toes’ into the mech world.I can’t speak much for longevity, but I am confident in saying that this is an awesome option among the many in its price range (at least on Amazon). I’ll upload a video of it completely stock later, but there isn’t all that much rattle considering that things are minimally lubed from the factory - if at all.Now, no decent review is complete without an honest list of cons. After using it for a few hours this afternoon I have come upon a few things that are less desirable - but to be expected.- The user manual could be considered somewhat confusing at parts. Not that bad, but it’s mostly just pictures so some things are left to the imagination. For instance, the P button blinks indefinitely until you either pair it with the 2.4ghz USB dongle included, or switch the keyboard into Bluetooth mode and connect it.- There is some rattle in the stabs — but again this is to be expected and isn’t severe enough that it can’t be fixed fairly easily.- The case does sound a bit hollow/cheap — also an easy fix. It doesn’t feel cheap though (as a reminder).- The brightness could be slightly more adjustable, although there is enough adjustability for me to be content.All things considered, this is a great keyboard. I would recommend it to anybody who thinks they might be interested in the enthusiast-side of mechanical keyboards.Easy 5 stars from me.

When I bought this I was very unsure about what product I was getting. Reviews were very mixed and sometimes contradicting. It turned out that at the purchase date of 5/4/21 they were shipping an updated version of this keyboard from what most reviewers got.The newer version is great! It is the one with the serial number starting with 21. I wanted to write a review to clear up any confusion for future buyers.First off, the Bluetooth and 2.4 wireless connection are great, no firmware update needed. I was able to walk into another room and still remain connected on Bluetooth 5 and stand about 10 feet away on 2.4 wireless. I have not noticed any latency when typing and have never waited for it to connect after waking from sleep (At least with the 2.4 connection, I've only used Bluetooth for testing).I'm not a huge keyboard enthusiast but this keyboard feels nice to type on. Although they claim the same actuation force, the brown switches are a bit more stiff compared to the gateron browns that I came from. The board has a nice weight to it. Lighting is clear and bright if you need it.Battery is the best thing about this board. I have using it for two weeks on 2.4 wireless coming from a full charge. Lighting mostly off except for a few hours a night when it was on the 2nd lowest brightness. When I connected to my Chromebook to test Bluetooth just now it said the battery was at 70% after 2 weeks!I considered giving it a 4 star review because of the software but since it is optional that seems unfair. It is functional and from what I can tell, not malware. However the updates are iffy. When I tried to update firmware the keyboard was temporarily bricked. Unplugging it and connecting wirelessly fixed it, not sure why. Trying to update the software/firmware at a later date gave me errors. If you need to create macros or change lighting effects it is perfectly useable but I would skip it if you don't. And definitely do not update firmware unless the page has new information on it (currently says updated 4/23/21).Overall I think this is a great keyboard, especially for the price. I was looking for a wireless 75% keyboard and ended up choosing between this and a keychron k2. I decided to take a gamble on this because it had more features and customizability. I'm really glad I did. Highly recommend it!
