RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK98 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Triple Mode 2.4G/BT5.1/USB-C 100 Keys Hot Swappable Linear Red Switch with Number Pad RGB Backlit 3750mAh Battery NKRO Keyboard Ergonomic,US Layout

I've had many keyboards over the years. My favourite was a Corsair K70. It was huge, made of aluminium and I had it for a very long time before a 3rd cup of coffee killed it. Since then, I have had various chinese branded keyboards that have done the job. I decided to splash out on an RK98. Oh boy, am I glad I did. I went for the red switches because I'm sick of clicky stuff. The noise is becoming obnoxious to me. Also, my wife sits in the same room as me when I'm using my pc, so she gets sick of clicky sounds too. This RK98 is the most beautiful keyboard for typing. It's so smooth and quiet. It's also a very heavy thing. Really heavy, and I'm ok with that, but if you need something portable, look elsewhere because this keyboard will need a trailer. The RBG lighting is nice, but does not come through letters on each key, just the base of each key. That's fine. There are a lot of different lighting modes and they all look cool, but be warned; if you're going to use this keyboard in wireless mode, you will not get very much out of the battery life. This keyboard boasts of 168hrs battery life with the lights off which is incredible, but that drops to 32hrs with the lights on, which is incredibly bad. For me, I use it in wired mode and have the lights on. Weirdly, even in wired mode, the keyboard still goes to sleep after a short period of no use. I simply cannot believe how nice this keyboard is to use, the keys feel so good with the red switches, I don't want to stop typing on it. They keys don't bottom out with a loud "clack". It's so quiet. I love it very much. The Royal Kludge RK98 is my no.1 keyboard I have ever owned. I mean, "Kludge". What a name.

Look wise- very vibrant colours used on the keys and casing along with rgb. After months of use I haven’t noticed any colour fade which I was not expecting from having a mostly white keyboard in sunlight during the days.Switches- the switches are very good and responsive. They have a click sound to them which makes your mic easier to pick up the sound.Latency- I haven’t noticed any input delay through this keyboard with usb connection or dongle connection.Battery life- from my use with the keyboard the battery lasted for a good few days and while charging the battery you can still use the keyboard through the same usb connection.Ease of use- keyboard dis very easy to use straight out of the box. Just plug it in and away you go, no software needed

Needed a new keyboard and this one looked good and the price was competitive. Really nice feel to the keys, my only annoyance is that it is usa keys and there is no backslash which I find a little annoying. Also some of the keys are different and the return key is a bit on the small size compared to other keyboards. Overall though I'm really pleased. If it wasnt for the missing backslash key I would have given it a solid 5

Comparable to other Bluetooth mechanical keyboards I have had in the past that cost 3-4 times the price.Brown caps are perfect for an office environment, not too noisy and making typing so much better.They even include some spare switches in the box which is a nice touch.RGB profiles are good and there are a good few of them, the RGBs themselves are slightly fuller than my other wired keyboards but you can still see them in a brightly lit room (better I'm a darker room)

After trying a few different keyboards from amazon I settled on this one ! Managed to get 20% off the asking price which was a massive bonus ! Keys are very sensitive which I quite like , they feel nice to touch and the sound the keys make is a real bonus, and the RTGB is also a nice touch, This is the most money I've spent on a keyboard and now I see why people do spend so much money on keyboards as now all I want to do is type on it. I can not review what it is like for gaming as I do not game but would like to think that it would be great the way it acts and feels just typing ! Colour may not be to everyone's taste but I think its nice not being black or white !

Firstly the company name, Royal Kludge, sounds rather suspect considering what it means in English. Some are going to be put off by that, which is a shame.Beyond the name it's a fairly heavy keyboard for the size, which is nice, it's not going to move when typing. The keys are softer than most mechanical keyboards but that for me makes typing just a little faster and is easier on the finger joints. The smaller area does not really help or trouble me, it could be useful if I moved the keyboard around or had limited room but that isn't the case.There could be an option for key caps having transparent letters to show up in the dark if needed. Option of UK alternative keys would be nice too, there are only a few different ones. Otherwise the black on white keys are adequate for normal lighting. Everything else seems fine after three days. I really have not put a lot of pressure on it yet.Overall if you want to spend a bit more on a superior keyboard you can easily do a lot worse than buying one of these.

I was dubious about it having the right ‘thock’ but it’s just right! Heavy too which was a surprise and feels ‘right’. Love the RGB lighting. Perfect.

Looks and sounds absolutely amazing. Only thing to look out for is that this is US layout keyboard, so keep this in mind
